Review of Bambi (1942) by Cj W — 10 Mar 2014
Bambi is one of the most ambitious and heart-touching films ever made by Disney, the scope of this film is so much larger than nearly every Disney film before or since; it does no less than try to encompass all of a deer's life, but more than that, it has a lot to say about all of life here on earth, and the universality of the living spirit.
The film's animation stands out among Disney's films before this time, because it attains a new level of portraying natural beauty and expression, while also, always maintaining the correct tone for each frame.
But the truly great aspect of this film is in its portrait of the miracle of life, the innocence of young life, the loss of innocence, learning to live in man's cruel world, and true love. I don't think any Disney film has matched its depth, beauty, or its ability to touch you emotionally, which is why this is one of my 2 favorite Disney films ever.
If you've never seen Bambi, then you need to watch it soon.
