[Trailer]’Bambi: The Reckoning’: Childhood Icon Turns Killer in Twisted Horror Reboot

Bambi is back—but not in the way you remember. The beloved deer from Disney’s classic tale has taken a terrifying turn in Bambi: The Reckoning, a new horror movie from the creators of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey.

The first trailer for the film has arrived, and it shows a much darker version of Bambi. No longer just a grieving fawn, he has transformed into a massive, mutated creature with sharp teeth and an uncontrollable thirst for revenge. As he rampages through the woods, Bambi throws cars, crashes into homes, and hunts down innocent families.

The film promises plenty of blood, violent attacks, and shocking moments—making it completely unsuitable for children.

Directed by Dan Allen, Bambi: The Reckoning features a cast that includes Roxanne Mckee (Game of Thrones), Tom Mulheron, Nicola Wright (Sexy Beast), Samira Mighty, and Alex Cooke. It is produced by Scott Chambers and Rhys-Frake Waterfield of Jagged Edge Productions, the team behind other public domain horror reimaginings like Blood and Honey 2 and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.

But the madness doesn’t stop here. After his solo horror debut, Bambi is set to join other terrifying versions of classic characters in Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble. This upcoming crossover film will feature horror versions of Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, Tigger, Piglet, The Mad Hatter, Sleeping Beauty, and more in a chaotic battle of twisted childhood icons.

Bambi: The Reckoning is expected to release this summer, with ITN Studios and Premiere Entertainment handling distribution. Fans of horror and bizarre reimaginings won’t have to wait long to see this nightmare version of Bambi come to life.
