There isn’t a generation of Disney kids alive that weren’t introduced to fictional heartbreak through Bambi. Before traumatized tykes watched Mufasa get trampled by that stampede in The Lion King, it was that poor deer’s mother’s death at the hands of a hunter that first jolted them into discovering their own mortality.
But what would happen if young Bambi got the chance to seek revenge on the a--hole who shot his mom? What if he traded impressionist woodlands and hand-sketched flower fields for a starring role as the big bad of an unabashedly C-tier creature feature? You don’t need to wonder any longer—Bambi: The Reckoning is in theaters now.
