A recent survey by Redfield and Wilton Strategy found that 50 percent of American adults agreed. Disney Update its old content to align with modern standards, though most respondents would prefer that Disney You’ll create new stories instead of redoing your archive However, fans are not happy with the idea of ​​modernization Bambiwhich was released in 1942 and was the fifth full-length animated film Walt Disney.

Note from Editor: I understand that it was a very powerful moment that still evokes a reaction in adults who were exposed to that scene Bambi But, you can’t sweeten life. Ultimately, if live-action is made, the original version will always exist so you can decide whether or not to expose your kids to such an intense reality check. I don’t know how to handle it, it’s a good thing I don’t have kids.
