Review of Bambi (2013) by Matt G — 11 Jun 2018

I wish Bambi was either more poetic or more of a narrative. As it is, it moves between the two of them, and is good at both, but doesn't find the real balance between them. The death is incredibly sad and really holds up, but the transition away from it is pretty abrupt.

..and that is just a microcosm of the whole movie. Still, the individual parts are great: the animation, the characters, the humble humor, the pathos. Slight and forgettable in whole, but impressive in pieces.
