Well. I don’t really know how to start this one.
I’ll be blunt.
It was so boring.
A few minutes in, I was texting my friend who had also seen it recently and said, “oh my god are we still in the intro?! Enough with the scenery!” This film was very much Disney trying to show off its master artistry and the story as well as anything interesting kind of fell by the wayside.
All these characters, literally all of them, are so annoying. There’s no real story. Bambi is born. He learns to say “bird.” He grows up, understands the harsh reality of living in a forest with the introduction of the film’s (weak-ass) antagonist, “Man.” Meets his dad, runs into Man again, and then the forest gets set on fire.
I feel so stuck. I literally didn’t care at all about this movie. I wasn’t even sad when Bambi’s mom died. I’ll give it that it’s pretty. The picturesque nature scenery is nice. Not for me, but nice.
I wish I had more to say. I really do. Ah, well. Can’t all be winners.
