VIDEO: New 'Bambi' horror movie is "ruining childhoods"
Updated | By The Drive with Rob and Roz
This is not the cute Disney movie you know and love...
If you are not a horror or slasher movie lover then we recommend you move along.
LISTEN: Things that everyone from Bedfordview knows
If you're still reading this then you also might want to reconsider if you are a Disney fan.
Especially if you are a fan of the sweet little deer called 'Bambi'.
In the original Disney movie, which was released in 1942, the story follows a young deer called 'Bambi' as he navigates life after his mother is shot and killed.
LISTEN: Is lab-grown meat the way forward or a threat?
In typical Disney fashion, he has a bunch of adorable animal companions and his strained relationship with his father grows into something beautiful.
'Bambi: The Reckoning' does not include any of this.
The film studio Jagged Edge Productions has been working on "reimagining" classic kids movies and characters in their 'Twisted Childhood Universe'.

You might recall a movie called 'Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey', which was released in 2023 (along with its sequel) in which a horror movie spin is put on the characters of Winnie-the-Pooh.
In the latest horror/childhood hybrid movie, the company has taken Bambi and turned him into a killer out for revenge.
You can watch the trailer here:

The response to the trailer has been positive with lots of fans saying they can't wait to watch the film.
There are also those who are confused and upset by the idea:
I'm both disturbed and intrigued

They're really going to traumatize a new generation with that childhood classic lol
I'm not going to lie I'm curious about this one after seeing this teaser. But they got to stop with these fairytale turned horror movies. Like making a one off is one thing but a cinematic universe is just plain wrong.
