At a time when remakes of some film classics are the order of the day, it is not surprising that one of the closest major Disney projects is a new version of Bambi, released 81 years ago and which has become everything a classic of children’s cinema.
Entire generations have grown up with Bambi, Thumper, Owl, Flower… so a new version of the film is considered a box office success, as were the new versions of The Lion King, The Lady and The Tramp, The Little Mermaid or Aladdin.
However, although these new adaptations faithfully follow the plot of the original film, this may not be the case with the long-awaited Bambi remake. This was explained a few days ago by one of her screenwriters, Lindsey Beer, that, curiously, she will not continue on the project due to the accumulation of other work.
In an interview with the website Collider, Lindsey Beer spoke about her professional experience, gave her opinion on these remakes that Disney has been betting so much on for some time and in the last few minutes, she focused on Bambi. “It’s a beautiful love poem,” she said of the film.
However, he also explained why he thinks Bambi is different from, say, The Little Mermaid or Aladdin. According to Lindsey Beer, there is an entire generation that has grown up without this film, especially because of one of its most dramatic scenes: the death of Bambi’s mother.
“I can’t say how many children I have seen who have never seen Bambi,” she laments, and assures that nowadays fathers and mothers “are more sensitive” and that is why, according to the screenwriter, they do not show the original film to their sons and daughters. , for the drama of the mother’s death scene. However, this could be different in the long-awaited remake.
In reference to the new version of Bambi, Lindsey Beer assures that it will be a “very fresh and refreshing” film, updated and with which boys and girls can feel more identified. Therefore, in response to these words from one of the main people responsible for the script of the project before its departure, there are many who have stated that the death of the little deer’s mother will be treated differently or that it will not even appear directly. .
However, nothing is confirmed and it will not be until the official premiere of the work when the mystery will be solved: Is a remake of Bambi possible without the mother’s death scene?
