Bambi remake in the works at Disney

I wonder what they're going to do then since there's really not much to Bambi.
Dumbo was only 45 minutes originally and they way overbloated and misfired on that reimagining. Bambi is not much longer.
Edit: Oops, I got Dumbo's runtime (60 minutes) mixed up with Saludos Amigos. It's been years.

That sounds like a killer job. Take the original, change some minor stuff here and there and then cash your check
But most of the remakes are bad, or meh. Only one I liked was the live action Cinderella.
Now listen to me young man. I am talking directly into your ear now. You are going to go to your local movie theater and you are going to ask the bastard working the counter for a ticket to Bambi 2. If you do not do this you will be erased from existence in a manner so painful you will never
People see them anyway, though. That's the problem. Look at The Lion King.
I'm very curious to see who they get to direct this. Dumbo was awful because it was just Tim Burton rolling wild with the circus theme, lacking a strong source to keep him grounded. But The Jungle Book is pretty good, namely because it uses the original story as a framework & builds new content ontop of it.
I don't know if you can do the same for Bambi, but I'm interested to see who wants to try.
The hardest one for me was Beauty & The Beast. Beauty & The Beast (1991) brought so much prestige and dignity to American animation and proved the viability of the medium as a respectable art form after decades of languishing creatively. That movie was sensational for its time and holds up tremendously - better than lots of Renaissance movies that followed, even - and to see it remade in live action and worse just gives me such a bad feeling.
As long as they don't do what they did with The Lion King then I suppose it at least has a chance of being good.
But The Lion King made all of the money so they will of course do exactly the same things again so I don't think that it will be good.

All their films this year are originals barring Mulan (which itself is a significant deviation from the original).
Jungle Book is the only one I like, actually. But if you were really attached to the original I'm sure something was lost.
Okay but how will it compare to the SNL ver-
lmao FFS, I was just about to post that!

Can't wait for the badly crowbarred, Disney corporation approved©️™️ brand of progressive values.
Lemme know when they make a Fox and the Hound remake that intends to tackle the cruelty and inhumanity of law enforcement.
On that note, if Disney wanted to do another "darker and edgier" adaptation in the vein of Burton's Alice, The Jungle Book, and Maleficent...they could always hire a team to helm a direct adaptation of the original novel. :v
Looking at Disney+ on my phone and Dumbo is 63 minutes. Unless there's some original ORIGINAL version. Or is there a short that shows before Dumbo on Disney+ or something?
