OH mY goodness!!! If you are going to see the movie, I advise you also buy the CD! It is one of the best movies Disney has come out with and the song melodies and lyrics are touching and beautiful! Especially "There is life" and "Through your eyes". It is 100% worth the 12 dollars!

The good news is that Disney decided to release some of the Bruce Broughton score to CD at all(Other great scores for dvd productions never saw the light of day).Respectful of the original Bambi score, even incorporating some themes, I only missed a larger choir. but as this is a straight to DVD production ( except for a theatrical run in parts of Europe ), I'm sure the budget was somewhat responsible for that.The main theme is lovely -the songs are serviceable, if not very memorable, the mood is kind of pop-country-ish except for an unnecessary end title pop song that doesnt seem to have anything to do with the movie.
My one criticism of this cd is the inclusion of several cuts from the original Bambi soundtrack. While these are certainly wonderful, they are already available on a comprehensively restored cd. More music cues from the Broughton score would have been preferable.

The music is so important to the feel of a movie. This is a beautiful soundtrack which complements the movie perfectly. Especially loved "With a Healing of a Heart" by newcomer Anthony Callea. Though only played during the credits in the movie the words hold the key to the whole story.

I just bought this soundtrack yesterday, and I haven't stopped listening to it. I love the song "There is Life." It is so beautiful, like nothing I've ever heard. It gives me a warm feeling inside. I loved watching that song on the movie. I fell in love with it and after that I had to get the soundtrack as fast as I could. I also love the song "First Sign of Spring." It's a nice, happy song that fills me with joy. Now I can't wait til spring. "Sing the Day" is a really nice song too, but a little bit of it is a little confusing, but it's still good. I'm also glad that there are songs from the first movie, showing that we haven't forgotten it even the sequel's come out. Keep up the good work!

I think the score is absoluty beautiful, especially ther "There is Life" Song, which begins with a humming melody of one of the origenal songs from the first movie, which seems to show that they cared about how this movie went, and was not going to be just another whipped up striaght to video. And the "At the First Sign of Spring" song is a joy to listen to.
Grade A music, I must say.

I bought this CD, and I can't help listening to it over and over again, because it's excellent just as how I expected!
There Is Life: 10/10 Beautiful melody and inspired lyric. "And the colder the winter, the warmer the spring. The deeper the sorrow, the more our hearts sing." At the beginning of this song was the melody of "Love Is a Song", and our memories flashback to the snowy winter in 60 years ago, and this song lead us into an all-new spring! I can feel the power of confidence while listening to this song.
First Sign of Spring: 10/10 A warm and spring-filled song, my personal favorite. This song has somewhat similar to "There Is Life", beautiful, inspired and confident. Besides, it gives me care-free feeling. "We will be together, leaving our cares behind forever at the First Sign of Spring." We can feel not only the warmth and hope that spring brought but also the strong bond between father and son.
Through Your Eyes: 9.5/10 A wonderful song filled with understanding! I was a little surprise that Martina McBride performed a song for Disney movie. "And I could show you secret trails if no one's ever gone. I bet you've got secrets too, so don't be shy, come on, come on." I think this is the warmest sentence in this song. And I think everyone can learn to love and understand in this song!
Healing of a Heart: 9/10 This song was not as good as the 3 above, but it's still so beautiful. It told us the importance of love and comfort. Yes, "Love lights the dark"!
Sing the Day: 10/10 Before I listened to this song, I've read the list of the songs in the CD, it was original written for the score "Being Brave". At first, I thought it was a little confusing. But after I listened to it over and over again, I loved it! It was so lively, we can feel the vilality of nature!
Scores: 10/10 The scores are lovely, especially "Snow Flakes in the Forest" and the 2 parts of "Being Brave", "Bambi's Dream" is exceptional too. But too bad there are only a little scores in this soundtrack. For example, the score came up when Bambi fought against the hunting dogs, was glorious, but why it's not in the soundtrack? How I wish all the scores in the movie were in the soundtrack!
The 3 old songs: 9.9/10 Needless to say, these 3 old songs are well-know to every Disney fan, and they were, are and will always be classic. "Little April Shower" is the best in my opinion.
Generally speaking, this is the best soundtrack of Disney's continuations in my opinion. Beautiful new songs, lovely scores, and always-classic old songs! However, if all the scores and the old song "Looking for Romance(I Bring You a Song)" were in this soundtrack, it would be perfect!
