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.

[Tell It Right]

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.

That was funny.

i'm waiting for Song of the South

"Gather round, un-fathered children, and I'll tell you how Brer Whitey threw Brer Bro straight into Farmer Johnson's Great Society briar patch."

No, can't be done.
