Whenever I think about seeing movies that are sequels, I get some fear of what I'm going to find. This film, rendered directly to video, was never intended for the big theaters and has the disadvantage of following up on a film that was released decades earlier. In spite of all that, I confess that I liked what I found here, and I even find it difficult to understand why this film was never released in the big theaters.
The strongest and most favorable point of this film is the script, which is much more elaborate and interesting than the original film. In this film, set in the times immediately following the death of Bambi's mother, the young deer will try to adapt to living with a father he admires, but he doesn't know well and seems to maintain an aristocratic distance from everything and everyone. For this, he will try to respond to his father's wishes and prove to be more courageous and mature. It's a funny story, light, well-balanced and doesn't feel too sugary.
On a technical level, I think it is really necessary to highlight the good performance of the voice actors, in particular Alexander Gould and Patrick Stewart. The quality of the drawings, the elegance of a careful and well-defined line, the vibrant colors and the good light are the characteristics that most caught my eye in terms of visuals and cinematography. The soundtrack is quite good and does an excellent job.
