Live-action Bambi could be changed and it has got people talking, some agree and many others don’t, as another Disney film is being changed for the modern viewer.
Live-action Bambi
As we know Bambi is a classic animated film produced by Walt Disney Productions. It was originally released in 1942 and remains one of Disney’s most beloved and enduring classics.
The film is based on the 1923 novel “Bambi, a Life in the Woods” by Felix Salten and is known for its beautiful hand-drawn animation and memorable characters.
Film writer and director Lindsey Anderson Beer had been working on a live-action version of the much loved Bambi film to bring it to a modern audience.
Speaking to Collider, Anderson Beer said this was due to parents now being more ‘sensitive’ than previous generations.
Anderson Beer said: ‘Not to spoil the plot, but there’s a treatment of the mom dying that I think some kids, some parents these days are more sensitive about than they were in the past.’
Classic
‘What’s interesting about Bambi to me is it absolutely is a classic and it’s a beautiful love poem, such artistry to it.
‘I do think there’s an entire generation of children who have never seen the original and that’s very different from, say Little Mermaid or Aladdin or the 90’s heyday films that they’ve definitely already seen.
‘I can’t tell you how many kids I’ve seen who’ve never seen Bambi, which is such a shame.
‘The thing is, it is such a gorgeous film. It’s a little bit of a different tempo than I think modern audiences are used to.’
Anderson Beer has now stepped away from the Bambi project.
