Bambi II Coming to Disney Blu-rayThough this announcement will likely send shivers of disfavor down the spines of Disney purists and aficionados, we'd be remiss not to report that the mouse house has just announced it is opening the Disney vault and making the straight-to-video animated classic, Bambi II available for the first time on Blu-ray high-definition in a Bambi II Special Edition release on August 23, 2011. The film was released to DVD on February 7, 2006 which gives it the unique distinction as the longest span between two separate installments of a franchise - 67 years.
