Bambi [DVD]

Product Information

You're in for a rare treat, and once the Disney people do what they do and yank this disc off the shelves, it's hard to say how long you'll have to wait before you get the chance to see it again. Disney was looking to spark his audience's imagination, to inspire the viewers to immerse themselves in the sensations of the movie as much as possible.

There was nearly an hour on the making of the film, with several of the actual animators, voice actors, and many of Disney's current staff interviewed.

The film is shown in its entirety but is accompanied with audio featuring actors reading the notes from the story meetings.

The single Blu-Ray disc for Bambi has a whole bunch of new bonus features, as well as a full "Classic DVD Bonus Features" section porting over all the extras from the previous DVD release, 2005's "Platinum Edition. Add in a truly fascinating, if not quite comprehensive, extras package and you have a highly recommended disc. In Disney's spectacularly animated forest fable, a fawn named Bambi is born, destined to become Prince of the Forest. Bambi' (1942) follows young male deer Bambi from his birth and woodland childhood with friends Thumper the rabbit and Flower the skunk, through to his ascendancy into tall, antlered adulthood. We learn more about the comparisons with “The Lion King (1994)” and there are also featurettes on the background art, the voices, the animation, and the score.Crafted in the breathtaking animation style of the original masterpiece, and bursting with enchanting songs as well as new characters, Bambi 2 is an unforgettable coming-of-age tale that will reign forever as a modern-day classic! You will most notice added oomph in the orchestration, as well as some background work in different scenes, but nothing that destroys the original flavor or is too distracting. To further open up the creative process, the main picture is often shrunk to make room for storyboards, conceptual art, and photos and archival footage of the animation team at work. As Bambi grows, he makes friends with the other animals of the forest, learns the skills needed to survive, and even finds love.
