Watch: ‘Bambi: The Reckoning’ Sees Adult Bambi Turned Violent Feral Deer
Disney’s beloved little deer is all grown up — and has gone absolutely feral.
That’s Variety’s takeaway from the trailers of “Bambi: The Reckoning,” the latest assault on both the senses and yet more cherished children’s IP from the creators of micro-budget smash hit slasher “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey.”

BAMBI: THE RECKONING | Official Trailer (2025)
In this very twisted take on the Bambi story, our deer — now not simply grief-stricken over the death of his mother but also mutated, enormous and sporting an array of sharp, terrifying teeth — embarks on a deadly rampage through the woods seeking revenge. He throws cars into the air with his giant antlers, charges into otherwise lovely-looking country houses and chases after holidaying families in caravans. There’s a decapitation, several maulings and plenty of blood. In short, this it to be kept as far away from children as humanly possible.
“Bambi: The Reckoning” is set to launch this summer, with ITN Studio releasing the film alongside Premiere Entertainment.
