As far as disney sequels go this one was my favourite, but did you like it?

WARNING!! SPOILERS TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER SEEN THE SEQUEL!

Yes, I really liked the sequel, just not as much as the first. (movie sequels don't usually live up to their previous movie. There ARE some exceptions though *cough* toy story *cough* XD)

Anyway, the only thing I didn't like about Bambi 2 was that it was more for little kids, probably because Bambi was still a fawn, and most of the characters weren't adults, so older people probably wouldn't relate to it as much. Just my thought. But I loved the fact that they picked a point in the middle of the first movie that wasn't well explained, like where the Great Prince tells Bambi that his mother cannot be with him any more, and they made a whole new story explaining what happened between that scene, and the "Spring Song" scene where Bambi is all grown up.

They kinda did the same thing with Tarzan, but really it didn't work out as well, because the song "Son of Man" in the first movie just explained what happened as he was growing up, and it didn't need the sequel to explain anything more. Sorry I'm getting off topic XD

What I also liked about the second movie was that it was very well animated, it had great songs in it, plus they gave references to the first movie, like Bambi fighting Ronno, and when Mina gets caught in a trap, she tells Bambi "Don't look back, keep running, keep running!" (Bambi's mom said the exact same thing right before she was killed).

ONE more thing! I ALSO liked how they showed a soft and caring side of the Great Prince, instead of this mysterious figure (which I liked about him too). And that when he's teaching Bambi how to be the leader of the forest one day, Bambi was kinda teaching him how to have fun once and a while. And when it seemed like a good idea at first to give Bambi to a new doe, by the end of the movie, that couldn't be done because of the great bond the great prince and Bambi had.

Okay, I think I covered everything. In conclusion, I really liked the movie, and it was better than most disney sequels, like Fox and the Hound 2(though that one wasn't too bad), Tarzan 2, Cinderella 2, and any other bad disney sequel I forgot to put down. Thank you for reading this incredibly long post!

I thought it was kinda lame. First movie is so much better.

Yes, I really like it. It has a nice animation, and cute plotline. And gosh I loooove The Great Prince <333

The Great Prince was a major character how could you not LOVE it?? <3 <3 Plus the animation, music, and character insight was good.

^This all the way c:

I adored how they added to the Great Prince's character in the sequel, and honestly, I believe this one of the only good movie sequels out there xD

Yes! i loved it more than the first! The animation was amazing, the story line was touching and the voice actors were just astounding. The Great Prince was my fav character in the first movie so i LOVED how he was in it the whole way through - plus Patrick Stewars voice is amazing and suited him perfectly.
So i think it's now obvious why i love it so much lol!

Like, yes. Love, not really. It was cute. Good animation for a sequel. Alright plot, even if it was a bit of a pre/mid-quel.
I did like that they kept a bit of that air of the first movie with the seriousness of what had happened with Bambi's
mom in the second when he had the dream of her and the end bit with the Great Prince. Over all a good sequel really.

And I also liked the links between the films. Especially the part where Mina got caught in the trap.
I think it was put in there for those who know the first as the last words Bambi heard so it made
that greater an impact on the viewer as well when Bambi realizes this and goes back for her.

I loved it and still do (: It came out when I was ten- to me, it was the highlight of my short life. I only wish they had made it longer, and go more into Bambi's "teenage" years. I remember watching it with my aunt and both of us were thinking "That's it!?"

I really enjoyed the sequel. I have to admit my relationship with my dad was never the best. Seeing Bambi get along so well with his... well, it never fails to tug at my heartstrings.

Awwww I'm sorry about your dad. My dad and I don't always get along great, either. Our views on spirituality/religion have created a void... Bambi2 tugged on my heart, too.

I actually thought this has been one of the best sequels. And while I hold the first movie to heart, the sequel was very well made and I like it a lot. I also like how Ronno played a role in the second that shows you the identity of the first movie's rival. It's very interesting (:

Same.
Though I admit, the relationship between Bambi and his father always mad me jealous.

^ That said, I'm surprised no one said anything about Bambi's relationship with his mom.
Their relationship meant so much more considering she DIED for him.
My relationship with my dad was always decent, but not so much with my mom...
Another reason why the first means so much more to me.
