Iulians2002's rating
I was really not expecting much, was looking to one of those generic "newgen" 3D animations but, oh, I was so wrong. I can easily say Bolt is pretty much at par with Wall-E, the 2 21th century animations that conquered my heart.
Few times I laughed, few times I had watery eyes, and it's impossible not to adore the characters and be at the edge of the seat as you follow the story. Also really loved the "authentic" finale with Penny and Bolt.
The Real D (my first ever 3D glasses movie too) was the cherry on the cake with the astonishing graphics.

Happy Feet totally r0xx0r! Prooly is the one of the 1 or 2 animations movies which are truly brilliant in the past 3 years. No lame story, no the same events which has been used, and re-used, and super re-used over the past 20 years, no cheap animation, humor, storyline "just to be there and we milk some more money". The movie is just brilliant. Go watch it. It's not just music over music like the trailer might make you think (me included). It's an excellent blend of good music and storyline. And most of all, it's super hilarious. If it made me laugh through all the movie, me, being an eastern European which totally finds "most" of the English jokes just superficial, believe me, this is gold. Ramon, Raul and the other 3 little Spanish penguins rawk. Compliments to the visual effects, and excellent voices and audio.
... especially when it comes to a masterpiece like Bambi.
I'v seen Bambi II about a week ago, and I thought it's OK. But today I watched Bambi again, and at that moment when I thought about Bambi II again, I realize how a big caricature they made.
There is no atmosphere that the original Bambi has, it is just some action in the forest made with modernized graphics. It is just a former shell of the 50+ years old masterpiece.
Where is that feeling that created butterflies in my belly when I re-seen the scenes from Bambi, when the men appears for the first time, Great Prince first appearance, all this blending perfectly with the sounds and background music that complements all the drama and comedy. Such sounds that are combined with music as in the meadow scene when the deers run around, or the first rain for Bambi, background music that is found on the hole length of the movie.
Where is that attention that the original Bambi had, and that made it perfect? It had 4 voices for Bambi, 2 for Faline, 2 for Flower... Just by looking at this aspect you can see the work involved between the two movies.
The voices from Bambi II, the childish, human manifestation, ruins all the beauty, and leaves this movie way behind the original.
Again the current Disney company just created a sequel "just to be there" and make some money, indeed, trying to be close to the original, but still ending up in a very big disappointment.
The hole beauty in Bambi was the ambiance it radiated, and how the atmosphere was created and presented, being a total pleasure to watch it as an adolescent like me, having the same feelings I remember I had when I first saw it, and I am sure it will be a pleasure to continue to see it again and again even as the years pass by. All this being totally discarded in this sequel, being again just a cartoon for the little kids.
In the end I did not read the book, maybe some day I will, but at least they could have invested at least half the time as the producers have done 50 years ago, and maybe try to fill it up with actual actions from the book, that the first movie had to trim and cut scenes before the film previewed.
So Bambi II will be OK only if you just want to see something new, but don't expect anything that provide such mood and atmosphere as Bambi (1942) did.
My vote for Bambi II is 5 of 10, while Bambi fully deserved the 10 out of 10, 5 stars rating.
