Picking up where the original movie ended, Bambi is alone after the death of his mother. His father reluctantly agrees to raise him until the spring, asking an owl to find a doe to adopt him. Feeling rejected, Bambi mopes around until his friends Thumper and Flower cheer him up and help him prove his bravery to his father. His antics eventually put him in mortal danger in an open field, but he escapes with the help of his father. Later, Bambi spars with a bully placing his potential new mother in a trap, leading to a long chase scene with some dogs. Proving his bravery, he reconciles with his father. While there are some good moments, particularly that chase scene, there are just too many times that it feels more like a retread of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Cloying songs by the likes of Martina McBride and Alison Krauss don't help.
