The young prince is returning to the forest.

In the latest move to turn its animated classics into live-action features, Disney has set its sights on one of its most storied: Bambi.

The studio has hired Geneva Robertson-Dworet (Captain Marvel, Tomb Raider) and Lindsey Beer (Sierra Burgess Is a Loser, Chaos Walking) to pen the screenplay for the live-action remake.

Depth of Field, the production banner run by Chris and Paul Weitz and Andrew Miano and which is coming off the success of indie darling The Farewell, will produce the new iteration.

Looks like they're going to remake every single animated Disney movie.

[Secret Agent Man]

Yes, because so, so ma y people are demanding another modern disaster rehash of a classic.

Bambi to be transgendered.

Disney made his mark by animating stories.
The modern Disney makes their mark by reanimating animations.
It would appear that the only originality in H-wood lives in Pixar.

All the brains of Disney and this the the best they can come up with? Hire me for $250k a year . Remake Snow White! Re wake Sleeping Beauty! Remake Fox and Hound, Pay me bitches!

Bambi’s mother to be killed by the NRA

Making a live action Bambi movie is an idea that had to involve more than just the one mentioned Beer.

You left out Gus, The Field-Goal Kicking Mule.
