Review of Bambi (2013) by Adam G — 05 Apr 2013

Bambi tells the story of the prince of the forest, Bambi, and his adventures with his friends.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that Bambi is one of the best Disney animated films.

The film is wonderfully animated, and the characters are lovable. Like all good old fashioned films, Bambi does not rely on slap stick humor, but on adorable sayings from its adorable characters, and dramatic faces from them. It's story is a delicate one, that doesn't have many things happening in it: it's just the life of a deer, after all, but that's what makes Bambi so beautiful. Disney films, the old ones, were great at teaching moral lessons to children, and letting them know, even subtly, the inevitable things in life. And Bambi does that. People will die, including our mothers. Bambi is basically the story of life, told in a cute, heart-warming way. Children learn what it means to grow and experience pain, loss, sadness, love, and happiness.

Now onto our characters! Like most of the Disney films, the characters aren't just lovable for what they say, but for their facial expressions. You can laugh when they're annoyed, or happy, or over-dramatically sad. All of this is thanks to the amazing animators who worked at Disney. They were masters at what they did, and loved their work. It's clearly visible in the amazing work put into Bambi.

Bambi is one of my favorite Disney films, and one of the best, in my opinion. The animation, characters, story, and music in this classic are superb, and will enchant children for generations to come.
