I'm not here to review the films already released. Three by my count Winnie-the-Pooh series and Peter Pan respectively. I am starting to take some interest into this cinematic universe. I'm actually here to discuss the newest trailer of that universe. Featuring a character I never considered for a horror movie franchise at all.
We are talking the deer Bambi. Most remembers the classic Disney film of the same name. Bambi actually dates back to a classic book series. It's already a tough sell to make Mickey Mouse into a horror character. This possibly taken the cake in a rather different way. Bambi is a small harmless deer. Deers in real life aren't very bright to begin with.
Once a while I see some deers moving around where I live. Somehow they made Bambi actually terrifying. He's a huge piss off deer with sharp teeth. He's almost like an oversized bull charging at people. We actually get to see a lot of the character in the trailer. The concept of killer animal movies been around a long time.
Supposedly the world needs shark movies!!! I don't find deers to be scary at all. This particular deer is so menacing. He's actually bigger than an RV I'm not kidding. A smaller RV to clarify but still that's huge for a deer. I knew about this movie for a while. I didn't expect to see any of this!!! I can say I'm somewhat impressed.
I also should point out an upcoming Avengers style crossover movie in the works. A more villain take of that concept is strangely interesting to me. Bambi is terrorizing people it makes wonder where's PETA at? Some states wouldn't allow harm to deers unless it's hunting season. Just imagine Bambi causing hell in one of those states.
You would be forced to try escaping to another state or leave the country altogether. Clearly they put a lot of thought into this concept. Especially how easy people could've blown it off. Simply because they're using Bambi of all public domain characters for an horror movie. If they made Bambi scary like this. Then I wanna see what they do with Pinocchio whose getting his own movie.
Not to be confused with Pinocchio's Revenge either. Sure it's cheap to use public domain characters because they don't need to pay to use em. Of course, there's some guide lines to using em or they'll get sue. Not everything with those characters is in the public domain. They have to be cautious how to use em or else.
I actually enjoyed this trailer way more than I possibly ever expected. The trailer just sticks with you in a good way. Obviously it'll bag questions why Bambi? A lot of people don't find deers scary. At this point I wanna see someone make an Platypus horror movie. An animal I even question Why God created?
Bambi: The Reckoning is a good title for this. I wouldn't be surprise this came out in December. The big issue with that is there's a lot of Christmas horror movies. It would be facing tough competition. This movie was originally suppose to come out last year. Then again Peter Pan going to play a huge role in the crossover movie they're doing.
We're approaching the very limit what could get transformed into a horror movie or an horror movie franchise. Some may seem this being desperate using public domain characters. I personally see some creativity coming from this. The same company also responsible for Popeye's Revenge. Possibly not the best introduction into their horror films.
I got to give them some credit. They took a character we never expected to become scary. They found a way to make Bambi stand out like this!!! I don't think it's going to be a bad horror movie. At best it'll be alright among those horror movies. I don't expect it to be their best by any means. I could argue ways to make Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer into a horror icon.
Trust me Rudolph would've been a lot scarier in comparison. Just imagine all the crazy ideas they have regarding his red nose. Like when it glows red either a laser fires or suddenly his mind in pain. Rudolph tries to reel the pain that ends up to some crazy situations happening. I actually do think an horror Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer with the right people could be something amazing.
Bambi is very quickly going to be seen as a joke character among these icons. I don't think they are going to treat him that way here. It's even possible he'll be one of the first to kill in the upcoming crossover movie. It's almost like when you do enough drugs that messes you up. You start to see crazy stuff I wouldn't be surprised that inspired this.
