The new adaptation of Ariel, the mermaid, is currently in cinemas. Meanwhile, Disney is already working on the next live-action remakes of well-known animated classics. One of them, Bambihas now taken the next big hurdle in order to touch and disturb the new generation of children even more realistically in the future.
Disney is remaking Bambi as a live-action film – with one of the most sought-after directors
The first reports of a planned Bambi remake from Disney reached us in 2020. Now, according to Deadline, something is happening again with the project: With Sarah Poley is one of the currently most exciting female directors in talks for the remake. The actress (My Life Without Me) and filmmaker (Take This Waltz) just won an Oscar this year for her adapted screenplay for The Debate. Now she could soon breathe dramatic new life into Bambi – and this time it’s even supposed to be a musical.

Bambi
In the original film Bambi, a young fawn sees the light of day and gets to know the forest and its inhabitants. But as it gets older, it also has to get to know the dangers of life in nature and when it comes to the forest as a hunter, Bambi loses his mother. What by many as one of the saddest scenes in Disney’s animated history is seen.
Will the Bambi remake repeat the trauma of mother death?
The Death of Bambi’s mother should also cause many tears in the Disney remake before the fawn grows up and follows in the footsteps of his deer father. Except that this time the deer should be animated in a photo-realistic way. The question that arises is: will the realism approach make this scene harder or, on the contrary, less emotional?
Since Disney’s live-action remakes have been coming out, animal characters have had to sacrifice a lot of their lose emotional cartoon facial expressions – which was recently blamed on the little “soulless” Simba in The Lion King remake when his father died. But the Arielle remake managed to get charming live-action versions of 2 out of 3 animals.
Disney
There is no concrete start date for the Bambi remake yet. Since the project is still in its infancy, it cannot be expected until 2026 at the earliest. The next Disney live-action remake to be released on March 21, 2024 comes to the cinemas, will snow white be.
