<span style="font-family:Courier">Variety) HOLLYWOOD -- With a DVD premiere movie sequel to "Bambi" nearing completion, Disney will release the original 1942 animated cl[arse]ic on DVD for the first time next year.
The studio made the announcement Thursday, more than six months before the pic will debut as a two-disc special edition on March 1 for a limited time.
In addition to an all-new digital restoration, the DVD will include a unique re-creation of a production meeting involving Walt Disney in which voice actors will dramatize a transcript of the meeting. Also included will be an original musicvideo, audio commentary, never-before-seen sequences, and an interactive game hosted by Patrick Stewart.
Disney says "Bambi 2" will not be released soon after "Bambi," and may not be released in 2005.
Disney has not announced who will perform in the musicvideo on "Bambi," but the studio has created a tradition of recruiting popular singers to croon new renditions of songs from the cl[arse]ic movies. For example, Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey have recorded a musicvideo version of "A Whole New World" specifically for the Oct. 5 special edition of Aladdin. </span>
