Disney bosses have shared insight into what the upcoming Bambi remake will entail, but rather than excitement from fans they were met with fury.<\/p>\n
The remake first came to light in 2020, when the studio hired writers Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Lindsey Anderson Beer to work on the screenplay.<\/p>\n
At the time, sources told The Hollywood Reporter Disney viewed Bambi as a \u201ccompanion piece\u201d to its remakes of The Jungle Book and The Lion King.<\/p>\n
The publication added that the studio was aware that Bambi was \u201cless epic in scope and story\u201d and wouldn’t be aiming to shoehorn a larger story into the classic.<\/p>\n
However, after Lindsey revealed there would be adjustments made for its \u201csensitive audience,\u201d Disney was met with an overwhelming wave of backlash.<\/p>\n

In fact we’d prefer if you didn’t.\u201d<\/p>\n @GojoxGoku remarked: \u201cDisney about to ruin another classic movie.\u201d<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
