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.

I loved Disney's "Bambi" as a kindergartener but absolutely hated it as an adult because it makes hash of Felix Salten's classic
Bambi: A Life in the Woods (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1928). To do justice to salten's original story, Disney should have called his movie by another name and given its characters different names because his story is so different--and far more dumbed down.
Incidentally, I had the 1928 translation by Whittaker Chambers (yes, it's that Whittaker Chambers) read to me when I was in fourth grade and re-read it about five decades later.

I can’t wait to see what the “Song of the South” remake will be like.

Being an absolute fan of the original Bambi, I’ll predict here right now the remake won’t be worth a damn.
They’ll gimmick it up with digital this and digital that and the whole thing will be a mess.
The type of animation used in Bambi is probably lost forever.

In the remake it’ll show Bambi and Thumper going together to get a wax job.

Bambi will be a sermon on Global Warming for the children.
