  • Gimly
    ★ 3/10

    I guess it is more exciting than the original, but it also lacks the best thing about the first Bambi: the fantastic scenery art. Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible.

  • Andre Gonzales
    ★ 5/10

    Honestly in my opinion, this was better then the first. The storyline is good too. More about his father.
