All these plans are great, but don’t forget that the Writers’ Strike is happening, and no one has been actively working in it Bambi script since the last iteration. Since there’s no way of knowing how long the strike will continue, fans could have a much longer wait ahead of them.
Bambi is not the only production to feel the heat from the Writers’ Strike. Disney alone has basically shut down production on all of their popular shows. And they are not the only ones feeling the pressure.
Hit like Abbott Elementary, Tulsa Kings, Stranger Things, The Handmaid’s Tale and The Last of Us. The list is endless and growing at this point. There is even speculation that many shows could be canceled depending on how long the strike lasts.

Deadline admits that little is known about the live-action remake, but Polley’s Bambi is the latest in another classic Disney series to be made into a live-action film. The Little Mermaid just dropped, grossing over $414M.
The actor is great at adapting. Women Speak opened the industry’s eyes to the fact that Polley was severe and real competition. Whatever he does with Bambi will have millions flocking to movie theaters to watch a meek, motherless deer become a brave forest creature.
