Bambi II

[Raph's Girl]

Bambi II comes to DVD/Video on Feb 7th. The official Disney site has uploaded at least 15 min of the movie on their site. In this mid-quel it shows Bambi being raised by his father, The Prince of the Forest (voice by Patrick Stewart). It also appears there's another young male deer named Ronald. He's somewhat older than Bambi (his antlers are starting to show) and either wants Feline or is her brother (not sure...but he seems more like her first BF or something).

Ronald is a bully and constantly pokes fun of Bambi.

I'm actually enthusiastic for this one... for a sequel. It's obviously not going to hold a candle to the original, but... two words. ANDREAS DEJA.

As for that, I'm glad to see our friend Ronno back. Ronno was Bambi's rival for Faline in the original movie, and was even in the book that Bambi was based on. However, they've tweaked his character a bit for this midquel.

All in all, the humor may be a little juvenile (because it's a DTV sequel, after all), but the animation is beautiful, the animators have actually bothered to stay on-model, the music is definitely a homage to the original in style...

...and the stag is being voiced by Patrick Stewart! :D

Awesome.:D The joke sketch, not the sequel...

[malignant]

A sequel to a classic movie that Disney could so bank off of, and its straight to video?..

Meh..I don't expect to much from it.

We kinda got that in "A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie" where Kermit wishes he was never "born"(dude you hatched out of an egg!). In the timeline where he was never born Kermit went to a mall (it used to be central park) and there was a Doc Hoppers resteraunt as well as other places that had frog legs. Kermit freaked out of course. :lol:

I said this in the other Bambi 2 thread we had, and I'll say it again.

I think this looks really good.

I think this looks really good.Thank you.

I don't expect it to measure up to the original (I would be surprised if it did) but it should be better than some of Disney's more recent 2D features. I think the complaints are coming mostly from sequel stigma. Understandable, but I've been impressed thus far with the quality of the clips I've seen floating around.

[Brodie]

I hope this one ends with a buckshot.

[Drtooth]

These sequals always scare the daylights out of me. There may/maynot have been a reason for this too be made, but what the hell was the point of Cinderella 2? It's over. I feel they had better luck sequalling recent movies like the Lion King or Lilo and Stitch. When they get to the older ones, they tend to ruin it. I saw Jungle Book 2, and I can't even say one good thing about it. Simply horrid. I really wish, if they wanted to make money off of Baloo, they'd've made a Tailspin movie.

I think it's interresting this film is only available 2 months.... very interresting...

Oh...just wait...just wait till 2007 when Cinderella III comes out. Time travel is involved! :lol:

The evil stepmother congers up a spell that reverses all of which the fairy godmother did. Everything that she had made (the dress, the horses and the carriage) which were the reasons why and how Cinderella went to "The Ball". So when all the magic is gone will there be a happily ever after all? What will Cinderella do? Find out in Cinderella III.

So now the evil step-mother is a witch! :roll:

Forget Cinderella III or Mulan 2 and 3 (why the shell do we need sequels for a story about one of the greatest heroes of China? ) or Little Mermaid 3 (guess what people...she dies in the original story... :P).

I for one just want a sequel to "The 10th Kingdom"!!! ARGH!!! Come on!!! I want more adventures of the grandson of Cinderella and Snow White!! Virginia even said there was more adventures! Darnit! I wanna see "House of Wolves" now!!! :o

Soundtrack by Huey Lewis and the News.

Call me bitter, but...

For Cinderella III, truthfully, she probably wouldn't have that happy ever after. The Prince was living in a shallow world and he only saw her because she was at his ball. He never would have seen her if she were locked in that room. But I just know they'll make some 'love conquers all' crap and have a happy ending. Bah.

And as for The Little Mermaid... I have a fairy tale book with all the ORIGINAL Fairy Tales as they SHOULD be, and not the 'kiddified, Disney-fied' versions. As for me, I prefer the originals. Now make THAT into a movie and that'd be SWEET.


And lol, Zarius. I used to have a Huey Lew t-shirt. In neon, of course. I mean, it WAS the 80's.. ;) :)

I hated Mulan II. Tell me, what the hell was the point of that movie? Except for Mushu. He's one of the funniest incarnations of a dragon I have ever seen :lol: Besides, he's the ONLY animated dragon I have seen in ages. But still :dead: As for the Little Mermaid....KILL HER! :evilgrin:

Bambi II...I guess a Mid-qual wouldn't hurt. Show Bambi coming to terms with the world. Heck, if Patrick Stewart is involved, it HAS to be good :lol: But all the same, I hope Disney bothers to do a good job of this one unlike some other movies they have made...

[Mandi-chan]

I hated Mulan 2 because the story was weak, the love interest turned into a dork, and Mushu became a total ass! That, and the deeply stupid "servant/slave" thing with Mushu and the Spirits.

That, and the deeply stupid "servant/slave" thing with Mushu and the Spirits.I loved Mulan too much to watch the sequel. And from this, it sounds like that was a good decision. I mean, even the animation in previews had me gagging.

It tickled me that (original) Shang was B.D. Wong and Donny Osmond. :D

Everybody sing! *sings* Lets get down to business to defeat the Huns...did they send me daughters when I asked for sons?

IMO the Disney version of Mulan was too short.

Especially considering that the historical Mulan was in discguise as a guy for like 12 years and was only discovered to be female when her comrades in arms decided to visit her at home. :lol:

A friend of mine lives in the villiage of China where she's from and where the temple devoted to Mulan is. There's even a festival each year in her honor and a crater on the planet Venus is named after her.

From the poem written about Mulan in the 6th century:

Facing the window she fixes her cloudlike hair,
Hanging up a mirror she dabs on yellow flower powder
She goes out the door and sees her comrades.
Her comrades are all amazed and perplexed.
Traveling together for twelve years
They didn't know Mu-lan was a girl.
"The he-hare's feet go hop and skip,
The she-hare's eyes are muddled and fuddled.
Two hares running side by side close to the ground,
How can they tell if I am he or she?"

[Ra]

*sniffs* And now I want to kill Disney even more :cry: :evil: Anyone want to stop any chances of another Mulan sequal happening? :evilgrin:

[Mandi-chan]

All I have to say is this...

Bought it, watched it, LOVED IT!

It was great (not as good as Lilo and Stitch 2, but up there), telling the story about Bambi and his Dad that the first movie totally glossed over (that always bugged me whaen I was a kid).

[ZariusTwo]

...Now if I did'nt know better I'd swear that was false advertising...

[VaughnMichael]

what is false advertising him being with his father? and why?

[ZariusTwo]

I was referring to Mandis' suggestion it was good. Downloaded it just a few hours ago, its' deplorable.

yea I was shocked so many people are like wow this looks great...I'm sure it's full of trite annoying hip hop modern day refferances to make it hip and trendy...am I right? if so I will want to walk into every store and set them on fire...

[Masked Ninja]

I reserve judgement until I actually see it. The animation looks beautiful and such, but even a poorly executed story can kill that right off. I think another important thing is to compare this with other sequels rather than the original. While I think this will be great for a sequel, it's no question that the original will always reign supreme.

[Mandi-chan]

Difference of opinion, I loved it but that doesn't mean everyone else is going to. (L&S2 was better, but I felt that this was a great sequel compared to the likes of The Lion King 2, Mulan 2, etc...)

[Raph's Girl]

Well I for one am gonna buy this since it's not gonna be in stores long. There's not many disney sequels that I actually liked. I refuse to see Mulan 2 or 3 and I saw Cinderella 2 (which is just a bunch of shorts) on tv.

Here's my opinion on other sequels:

Hunchback of Notre Damn 2: The Gargoyles stole the entire movie. A sequel was not needed cuz well the Hunchback (and his lady love) die in the original story! :roll:

Little Mermaid 2: The plot with Ariel's daughter hating being on land and wishing to be in the ocean was just a rehash from Ariel hating being in the ocean and wishing to be on land. And if Ursula had an evil sister how come nobody knew about her? Only fun things? Rob Paulsen reprising his role as the prince and Cam Clarke voicing a now adult Flounder (who has like 6 kids :lol: )

Lady and the Tramp 2: Tramp and Lady's son Scamp has adventures. It was a well thought out film but my only thing against it was that they had it set in the U.S. Uh Disney hellooo! The Italian restauraunt used in the movies is in Germany not the U.S! I know cuz I've been to it. Just go to Landschtule folks. I lived just down the street from the restauraunt for several years. :P The town was made (in the sequel) to be U.S based but it's not. It's Landschtule. As for the sequel...it was cute. It wasn't really needed but hey...people often wonder what happened with the pups. So now we know.

Pocahontas 2: WTH where they thinking with this crap! Yes a sequel was needed but it totally ruined historical facts!!! In the end of the film Pocahontas returns home for gods sakes! She never returned home!! She died in England and was buried in Gravesend! She wasn't reunited with John Smith till AFTER she was christianised, renamed Rebecca, married John Rowlf, and had a kid (who later went to America where his descendents live today...Pres. Bush is one of em). If you want to see a movie that's actually TRUE to the story see "The New World" out in theatres now. Or read the book "Pocahontas: True Princess" This movie pisses me off to no end. :x
