Bambi remake in the works at Disney

Come the fuck on.
I realize people want new IPs and that's great, but let's not shit on the astounding creative work that countless people go through to make these. It's less creative at the very top level, sure, but would you really tell the animators, designers, artists, musicians, actors, etc, that their work literally has zero creativity and artistic integrity whatsoever?
A pseudo-"live action" (Lion King style) Bambi probably could top $500 million WW, maybe far more than that and Disney Plus always needs more content too, so I mean ... it really wouldn't make sense not to do it.
I can't wait to see the part where Bambi walks on the ice and falls down, except this time it looks real.
I am referring to the existance of the film in general, so indeed the very top level. Obviously there's still extremely talented people working on projects like these. Something of this scope could never happen without them, and it feels kinda bad to know they're working on a(nother?) remake, rather than getting to use their talents to create something original.
Please... Stoooooooop!!!
Considering how dry and joyless The Lion King was I can't imagine what a remake of Bambi would be like.

I want a close-up shot of Bambi's mom's head exploding repeated over and over like Toby in Threat Level Midnight, same sound effect.
Not that I don't believe you, but under what circles is that considered to be gospel?
buy a ticket to watch a movie, don't know if it's good or bad. it's bad. but now I have contributed to the studio making gazillions and they think I want a sequel. fml.
(haven't seen the Lion King but I hate this logic "the previous movies made billions!")

No
They need to remake everything - I am enjoying all the output - hopefully Pinocchio and the little mermaid come next
Well, even before Disney Plus became a thing, with their live action remakes, it communicated to me that the Disney corporation didn't have faith in their extensive filmography of animated films.
The shittiest part of these movies is that despite the billions they make and all the hard work that goes into creating the stunning imagery, it still won't stop those visual effects designers from losing their jobs.
Hollywood has a wealth inequality problem.

Nowhere. I'm talking general audiences here. General audiences watched Disney animation(which is for kids), Disney Marvel live action(which is for grownups), saturday morning cartoons(well duh) and saw Shrek and Toy Story as the evolution of animation. Now GCI largely replaced the inferior animation and grownups would never watch a animated Disney Marvel movie to the same extent they watch live actions. Spiderverse made almost half what Thor 2 did.
I thought I was gonna be as bold and creative as Disney by making a joke about it being a revenge movie now, and then it turns out this exists, The Rock just buried me.
I'd rather have a 900 pound man wearing cleats curb-stomp my testicles than watch another photorealistically animated Disney movie.
Has Disney themselves ever referred to The Lion King as "live action" though?
