Removing that detracts from the real message of Bambi.
Bambi is NOT about how cute it is when a rabbit talks to a deer.
It is about how horrible it is to live like a hunted animal.
That scene is supposed to be hard.
That scene builds character.
They’re removing the gun-violence to avoid further traumatizing children about the leading cause of child death?
What a load of shite
They still had Scar let Mufasa die literally the same way in the live action Lion King. Why pull punches now? Because it’s a gun?
Really love it when a page shows an unrelated video at the top, and when I scroll past it, the site goes “Not so fast, asshole!” and then begins autoplaying it in a popup in the bottom right.
But anyway, really like these “Someone is going to be mad about a something, so let’s go find some nuts on Twitter who are pre-complaining about something with no details” articles. Great journalism.
For many people, Bambi’s mother getting shot is the only scene they even know from the movie.
I might sound silly here, but I read the beginning a few times and can’t see where they say they’re taking out the mom getting shot. I just keep seeing the story itself will be modernized. I might have overlooked it but where does it say they’re changing that specific scene?
This seems weird to me. I haven’t seen the movie in a while but the scene where Bambi’s mother dies is about as non-explicit as it can get, isn’t it? We don’t even see it happen.
I feel like the word “traumatized” is tossed around a tad too willy-nilly these days.
I can kind of get behind the logic of not showing kids things where cutesy mama deers get killed and it’s traumatizing. But I can’t understand the point in even making Bambi in that case. Just…don’t remake it? That’s an easy way to avoid the problem.
I think someone needs to take Disney away from these people.
Somehow a bunch of weirdos were put in charge and they’ve been shitting on Disney cartoons for over a decade now.
It was bad in the DVD era when they were cranking out unwanted and unwarranted sequels by the literal boatload.
These reimaginings no one wants are truly tasteless.
Someone, please… make them stop.
Just give Bambi’s mom chronic wasting disease and have the hunters explain that it’s for the best of the rest of the deer population before moving on with the story.
Why does Bambi even need a remake? I would love to just see it remastered and do a theatre release to celebrate the original. Do a new line of stuffed animals, toys, clothes, etc. It is a great movie and would be fun to see in theaters – my grandma claims that she went to see it almost ten times with her friends.
Maybe they’ll make it a car accident instead of guns.
I wish they would stop retconning our childhood for profit instead of idk HAVING AN ORIGINAL IDEA?!?
These are all clickbait, and folks fall for it every time.
Jesus… Kids are dumb and will always find something to find scary. My biggest fear was the polar bear from the Golden Compass when I was young, and he was a good guy!!! Teaching them horror and how to deal with it is important, we can’t just waltz around life expecting to never get scared ever ya know. Better learn how to deal early imo
These companies are so out of touch with thier audience. Blizzard and bungie are the other companies im talkings.
Bungie recently did this whole “we love hispanic people” thing that blew up in thier face cause they tried to be so pc that they didnt even know that thier audience dont like the term latinx.
Honestly think these people are too rich. Theyre so rich that they just live in a different world and just think different.
what?!? thats the most important part!
I was a crying mess by that scene as a 6 year old. Had to be taken home. Bothered me for a long time. I still get chills thinking about experiencing that. Maybe that’s why it’s taken so long for a remake.
This sounds like a headline made to cause more outage.
DO NOT ENGAGE
The mother’s death is literally the whole point of the movie and the original story. Taking it out undermines the whole moral of the story
I’m never going to see it so I’m not going to pretend to be outraged
The rabbits won’t have pads on their feet which is inaccurate and leads to kids thinking that they do and when they discover this isn’t true it gives them trust issues, if that’s the change they’re making I fully support it
Honestly, the mom dying is sad and all, but I think later on in the movie when the hunters come back to terrorize the forest is worse.
Specifically the scene where the pheasants are hiding in the tall grass makes me super uncomfortable.
I remember seeing this in the theater. I not (twitch) traumatized.
This is just what the liberals want /s
Bambi was a kids movie and it showed Bambi’s dead mom. Next thing you know, the witch in Snow White won’t die, she’ll just be sent to community service.
Stop fucking with old movies, I hope people stop watching these. They will stop making them if they dont make money.
Everyone here is freaking out over nothing
Read the article, not top comments
I hope Flower still gets to be a gentle and soft boy.
Il be honest, I have actually not watched Bambi since I was a child. Like this post actually brought up those sad emotions that film gave me as a child…..
I’m seeing a lot of assumptions left and right in the comments. The article said the movie will be modernized and that’s it. It doesn’t say what they’re changing nor how they’re changing it. Just click bait title and sure enough everyone is riling themselves up with their own theories. Isn’t everyone tired of picking up a pitchfork for every. Little. Stupid. Thing?
Like if they did change it, so what? How is your day to day affected? Is it hurting people? Did they ruin society by changing it? It’s their creative property. They can change everything and it just doesn’t matter. The original still exists.
I don’t know I’m just tired of the “I have to pick something to get annoyed or angry about” on the daily. I’m sure there are other who feel the same.
Being traumatized by a part of a Disney movie is a rite of passage, FFS.
they need to be traumatized like i was
Listen, I’m not endorsing traumatizing children for fun, but for God’s sake they need a little backbone. A little sadness will not kill them if anything it will teach them empathy and that even though a story will eventually have a happy ending some sad shit has to go down. It is really freaking weird to attempt to coddle children on a Disney movie–it’s literally already made *for* kids.
Let’s tweak the mother death scene because it will traumatize kids. We can’t teach them about death.
Also, let’s have active shooter drills in elementary schools because we can’t legislate gun control.
Why do we live in a world where kids can’t face hardships or be sad? Then we wonder why they become mass murderers or entitled when they are cuddled.
Some kids are going through some hard shit. They need to see people struggle and overcome things to motivate them out of their situation or to get help.
Dear God! pleased don’t tell me they are going to take out the double penetration scene between Bambi, Thumper and the Hunter.
Kids ruin everything!
If it didn’t traumatize kids then. It ain’t gonna traumatize them now.
Let’s avoid anything uncomfortable so we don’t have to leave our precious bubble. “Trauma” 🤣
what the fuck is happening to the world smh
Why don’t they just hand out pacifiers and bottles to them too
If you take it out you’re “making kids soft”, if you keep it in you’re “traumatizing kids”. Heck you could say that you’re desensitizing them to violence and animal abuse, or that you’re making them vegan and hate hunters. There is no right way if you let an audience dictate what the movie should be, art should be a reflection of society and make people think while they watch observe a story.
