Description
Reflecting an age of innocence and a time of wonder, no film better captures the pure magic of Disney than BAMBI -- the world's most endearing animated tale about the beauty of nature and the miracle of life. Nominated for three Academy Awards(R), this immortal blend of classic storytelling and unforgettable characters is most fondly remembered as Walt Disney's all-time favorite picture. As morning light breaks across the meadow, a new prince of the forest is born. Soon Bambi emerges from the thicket on wobbly legs, much to the delight of his new friends, Thumper, the playful rabbit, and Flower, the bashful yet lovable skunk. But the fun of skating on "stiff water," nibbling fresh blossoms, and frolicking through the woods is only the beginning. Exploring his new world, and guided by the wisdom of Friend Owl, Bambi learns valuable lessons with every adventure --experiencing love, loss, growth, and renewal along the way. Fully restored to its original theatrical splendor, this digitally remastered video edition of BAMBI can now take its place among your most cherished family keepsakes. Relive Disney's extraordinary movie masterpiece "filled with laughter and inspired animation!" (Time Magazine)

It always comes up when people are comparing their most traumatic movie experiences: "the death of Bambi's mother," a recollection that can bring a shudder to even the most jaded filmgoer. That primal separation (which is no less stunning for happening off-screen) is the centerpiece of Bambi, Walt Disney's 1942 animated classic, but it is by no means the only bold stroke in the film. In its swift but somehow leisurely 69 minutes, Bambi covers a year in the life of a young deer. But in a bigger way, it measures the life cycle itself, from birth to adulthood, from childhood's freedom to grown-up responsibility. All of this is rendered in cheeky, fleet-footed style--the movie doesn't lecture, or make you feel you're being fed something that's good for you. The animation is miraculous, a lush forest in which nature is a constantly unfolding miracle (even in a spectacular fire, or those dark moments when "man was in the forest"). There are probably easier animals to draw than a young deer, and the Disney animators set themselves a challenge with Bambi's wobbly glide across an ice-covered lake, his spindly legs akimbo; but the sequence is effortless and charming. If Bambi himself is just a bit dull--such is the fate of an Everydeer--his rabbit sidekick Thumper and a skunk named Flower more than make up for it. Many of the early Disney features have their share of lyrical moments and universal truths, but Bambi is so simple, so pure, it's almost transparent. You might borrow a phrase from Thumper and say it's downright twitterpated. --Robert Horton

 Bambi is not a deer December 9, 2008
While this is one of my all time favorite films it is totally an allegory. If you don't explain to your kids that nearly everything about this move is totally out of context with nature you are doing them a great disservice. It is an awesomely made movie and a great story but it is make-believe. It has nothing to do with the way nature is. I'm sure the animal rights people love this film because it can be used to twist around people's ideas of deer and give them a totally false view of their habits. A mature buck never interacts with his male offspring, (except when male are hanging together in bachelor groups), unless it is to run him off so he can have his way with it's mother the following season, but usually mom runs him off before this! Yes, I am a hunter and have been for years and I've studied and observed deer behavior for years. I don't feel I have to make a kill every year to be successful but if Bambi's dad comes by my tree he will get an arrow flung at him! Deer are infinitely more interesting in real life than what Hollywood and the anti's would have you believe. This is an awesome movie but it is just a story. When your children get old enough explain to them that they are wild animals and nothing like people. It can be dangerous if you don't, specially for some other species! If you don't want to hunt or are against it, that's fine with me. I respect your right to not hunt.
One final closing example: Did you know that whitetail deer are responsible for more human fatalities than any other animal in the US. I could make that look like they are a dangerous animal that attacked humans if I didn't explain myself further. While rutting bucks do attack people every year the statistics are from mostly traffic accidents. I hate being led astray, cartoons are cute but let your kids know they're not real life, they are for entertainment and allegory use occasionally. Their lives could depend on it! lp

My granddaughter loves this movie. The DVD version is so much more colorful and now we can watch it in the car in the portable DVD player.
Everyone with children should have this movie. It was the first movie that I remember going to see and I enjoy it even more now in the new format.
