BAMBI Live-Action Reboot In The Works; CAPTAIN MARVEL Writer Hired To Pen The Project

It seems like Disney isn't going to let their animated classics die in peace. They're ready to resurrect every single one of them if they have to, and it appears Bambi is the next one on their to-do list.

Whether it's Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, or The Lion King; Disney is planning to create live action remakes of their original animated classics. So it was only a matter of time before Bambi would get shot with the greenlight bullet. 

THR reports that Bambi will be getting a reboot, as it will be written by Captain Marvel writer Geneva Robertson-Dworet. It will also be penned by Lindsey Beer, who will be assisting the script for Chaos Walking. They also say they will not attempt to "shoehorn a epic narrative" and will keep the kid-friendly story lowkey and grounded. Well, as grounded as a talking deer can be.

Also, the movie will obviously not actually be live-action, but will have photorealistic animation like The Lion King and The Jungle Book did. While the reviews for Disney's live action remakes haven't been the best, the financial success they've garnered is undeniable. 

So are you interested in this new Disney revival? Leave your thoughts down below.

@Polaris - Well that sucks. Especially since of the five animated projects MODOK was definitely the one I had the least interest in.

@Polaris - I saw that. Pretty disappointing to hear, because I was looking forward to both of those shows.

I have no interest in a MODOK show. At least we still have Hit Monkey.

Bambi's reaction to watching his mother die:

@ANewPope - its going to be worst than lion king, plus they will probably add a lot of dialogue. Part of the original’s charm is the visual storytelling. There are only 1000 words said in the original

I remember a couple of years ago SNL did a sketch about Disney making a live action Bambi movie, starring the Rock, and everyone went “C’mon guys. Disney isn’t that desperate and devoid of ideas.”

I see this doing as well as Dumbo. Just don't think there's enough interest in it making a billion like Bob Iger and company are probably expecting?

@Jayman627 - I doubt they are counting on a billion.

Oh, just great, now they're gonna traumatize a whole new generation....Did they learn NOTHING from the Skippy Squirrel incident of '93?

The Lion King remake was so awkwardly animated that Mufasa's death did nothing for me, so I can't assume watching Bambi's mom die in IMAX 3D is going to move the needle the way I'd thought it would

Hollywood has been remaking movies since 1918 and Every. Damn. Time a new movie is announced to being remade people act like it's somehow a new thing and can't understand why it's happening.

@Reeds2Much - Too true. A very valid point. Some of them even turn out great if done right but I think the problem is a lot of them these days are done as cheap, lazy, soulless cash grabs and miss the point of why the originals were great in the first place. That's why people get upset about them when they get announced most of the time.

@Jimster - Just off the top of my head you also have Scarface, True Lies, and Evil Dead all had remakes that were superior to the originals.

And before anyone loses their shit over that, Evil Dead 2 is a remake of Evil Dead 1.

Jimster - 1/25/2020, 3:36 PM
@Reeds2Much - The David Cronenberg Fly remake is personal favorite of mine as are the ones you listed above. All good examples. I've watched Evil Dead 2 way more than the original Evil Dead even though I enjoy them both.

The trailer for Dumbo made me cry from the Baby Mine scene alone. This one will make me cry from the, well, you know which scene. Can't wait to see Thumper though!

Oh boy. Another realistically animated "Live-Action" re-make. Sure why not. It was inevitable. Really wish they'd reboot failed movies instead and give them a chance to fix some of the ambitious ideas that didn't make the mark or even revive some the canceled or shelved projects that never got off the ground. Then again Disney surprised me before so we'll see.
