Greetings all from the Geek Labs

We've heard from a number of inside sources now with great news for you classic animation fans. Word is Disney's Bambi is going to be arriving on DVD in late 2005 as a Platinum Edition title, complete with an amazing restoration similar to the one the studio did last year on Snow White.

The release news was also leaked at the Hollywood Bowl this past weekend. During an annual presentation of classic Disney soundtrack music, the conductor reportedly told the crowd that Bambi would arrive on DVD next fall (thanks to Bits reader Mike A. for that).

Really? I thought they'd announced long ago that it was set for a Spring '05 release as the first Platinum title to be released in the spring, and that Cinderella would be the fall's Platinum release. Unless they pushed it back, maybe to coincide with the sequel...

Not sure personally... It would be nice if those titles where released. You mention coincide with the sequel do you mean a Bambi sequel or the re-release of cindy II

Can't wait to own Bambi. :D

But -- they BETTER NOT add in new scenes (unless it is optional) . . this just totally ruins the authenticity. See: Lion King's Morning Report :rolleyes:

Bambi II. . . don't even touch that one. :hurl: ;)

More like don't even MAKE that one.
Say, have they re released Pinocchio in the Platinum series? That is my all time FAVORITE Disney Movie and I would LOVe to own it on platinum DVD, seeing as I love it and my VHS copy is starting to show signs of age :( .

I mean a Bambi sequel. :hurl: I can't recall the title offhand, but it is actually happening. I hear this is what they put Glen Keane on now.

I think it was something like Bambi and the Good Princeor something like that. They said it in a Jim Hill article the other day, I'll see if I can find it.

Disney's 'Bambi' will leap onto DVD

The Prince of the Forest and his foot-thumping pal are finally coming to DVD. Disney's 1942 classic Bambi, stashed in the studio's vaults for eight years, becomes available March 1 on a special two-DVD edition ($30; VHS, $25).

Digitally restored video and surround sound will transform the tale of the young deer and his long-eared buddy, Thumper, for home viewers, says Disney's Gordon Ho. "It's amazing how much more vivid and clear it looks from the color and clarity standpoint," he says.

And animation buffs will fawn over one of the special features, "Walt's Annotated Bambi," which molds a vocal reading of the studio founder's own notes from the film's development with footage and production drawings. "Viewers will experience, firsthand, the production of Bambi as it is happening through Walt's words," Ho says.

Also included are additional scenes — in various stages of development — and a sneak peek at the upcoming Bambi II: Great Prince of the Forest, a direct-to-DVD feature in the works.
