Season 5, Episode 48: Interview with Nicola Wright (Mary) from “Bambi: The Reckoning” (2025)

There isn’t a generation of Disney children alive that weren’t familiarized to fictional despair through Bambi. Before traumatized kids watched Mufasa get trampled by that stampede in The Lion King, it was that poor deer’s mother’s demise at the hands of a hunter that first shook them into discovering their own impermanence. But what could happen if Bambi got the chance to seek revenge on the hunter who shot his mom? I sat down with Nicola to get first hand knowledge of the film and the concept behind it. What seems inconceivable is that this movie actually is conceivable – I know that may make some sense to some of the audience, but Nicola was able to clear everything up in the interview. For what I have observed, this insane flick has heart, comedy, and horror, and remains a riot throughout its runtime. The end credits proudly state that BAMBI WILL RETURN, so perhaps we will soon get more.
