Well, it finally happened. Bambi snapped. And honestly? Can you blame him?

The new trailer for Bambi: The Reckoning is here, and it takes the childhood classic we all loved and drags it kicking and screaming into a full-blown horror movie. You remember that cute little fawn who made us cry when his mom got shot? Yeah, well, now he’s back… and he’s got a very different approach to handling grief.

This time, Bambi is less “gentle forest prince” and more “mutated murder machine with the physique of a bodybuilder and the dental situation of a shark.” In the trailer, we see a mother and son survive a car crash—only to realize they’ve just entered Bambi’s turf. And this deer? He’s not here to make friends. He’s got one thing on his mind: revenge. And also, apparently, protein shakes, because this version of Bambi is jacked.

This all comes from the same unhinged horror universe that gave us Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, proving once and for all that no childhood memory is safe. At this rate, I fully expect The Little Engine That Could (And Did…Murder) to be announced any day now.

So, if you’ve ever wanted to see a deer go full John Wick on humanity, this is your moment. Bambi: The Reckoning charges into theaters Summer 2025. Watch the trailer—just don’t watch it in the woods.
