Disney Announces Live-Action 'Bambi' Remake But Some Fans Have Issues
With Disney's determination to bring back classic movies in live action, some fans are concerned about the new generation reliving Bambi's trauma.
It is evident that the Disney Company's plans include remaking most of its classic movies. This is only natural, as their remakes of Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and Aladdin were hugely successful.
Apparently, Bambi is next on the list. The company confirms this and is planning to go into production soon. Although most people consider it to be great news and a fantastic way to make that classic story more appealing to today's young viewers, some Disney fans believe it may not be a good idea to revive this wonderful story of a young deer and his friends.
Walt Disney CompanyDisney has already started the development process by enlisting Geneva Robertson-Dworet (Captain Marvel, Tomb Raider) and Lindsey Beer (Sierra Burgess Is a Loser, Chaos Walking) to work on the script for the movie. Depth of Field will produce the film. No additional information, such as a start date or release date, has been revealed.
What we do know is that it will be made in a similar way to Jon Favreau's earlier Disney films, The Jungle Book and The Lion King. Therefore, it is expected that the movie will utilize "envelope-pushing CG technology to create groundbreaking, photo-realistic, and immersive worlds of nature."
It is very likely that Disney is counting on the Bambi remake to be a hit, since both The Jungle Book and The Lion King were huge blockbusters for the studio. However, while the company is making financial calculations and considering profit margins, some Disney fans are viewing this project from an emotional perspective.
In fact, a significant percentage of Disney fans are unhappy about the remake, and they all cite the same reason.
