It's Bambi. It's a fucking classic. I always wondered how all these female strippers get named Bambi when Bambi was clearly a male deer in this film. Dumbfounding.

The animation is really wonderful. I found the scenes with the snow-covered woods especially beautiful. And it's fairly mature and dark in its portrayal of Bambi's growth. Just an awesome animated flick.

Boooringly boring. 1/3 of this movie is a joyful tralala~ with some jumping and no action.Why a young deer should be the prince of the forest? I don't like this monarchy thing.Also,the bunny is more cute than Bambi.This shows females as sexy but weak, unable to care for themselves, but when children show up, suddenly they have to be strong enough for them both. Bullshit & a sad story of life.The old owl and the spring time were the only interesting motives.Also, a plus for an ecological message.

It does come closer to a point of view than anything elese Disney ever tried, and it seems blind of a critic like Manny Farber to protest the loss of fantasy without seeing the parable of maturation. Unlike so many Disney projects, Bambi is about coming of age and discarding childhood. It may be the most beautiful film Disney ever made, as well as the toughest ordeal for any of his characters. In the course of under 70 minutes, the world changes.

(2014-15 Disneython #5:) A dreamy, lyrical ode to nature, with so little dialogue and extended sequences set solely to classical music that it feels more like a visual poem than a narratively-driven film (even compared to earlier Disneys like Pinocchio and Dumbo). I did like it though, and found it visually beautiful. It's not exactly gripping in its pacing, though its roughly 70-minute runtime makes that not a big deal.

A beautiful looking movie with adorable animation, refreshingly sparse but ever-so-cute dialogue, and a few hauntingly dark sequences thrown in that offer a startling and affecting contrast to the innocence that pervades the rest of the story. Putting the aforementioned scenes aside, the film isn't exactly edge-of-your-seat drama, action, or comedy, but it is charming in its simplicity and remarkable in how it pulls you in and melts the heart despite a lack of the aforementioned elements.

Bambi tinha sua première em Londres há 80 anos. Não foi uma boa ideia assistir esse filme com o Laranjinho sumido. Gosto do filme porque os vilões são homens e cães e ter um discurso anti-caça em 1942 era bem vanguardista para um filme mainstream, especialmente porque a morte da mãe do Bambi vem traumatizando gerações desde então e é pra impactar mesmo.

This is an excellent, mature, children's movie with some appropriately dark moments in a story about life in the forest. For an adult, howver, it's not really captivating as the lighter parts seem silly and the darker parts are somewhat simplistic.

I don't really know what to think about this one. On the one hand it's the most beautifully animated picture Disney has ever created at that time, but on the other hand Bambi as a protagonist can't do anything in the story. I feel like this film doesn't know whether it's wanting to be a documentary or a movie. Anyhow, it's certainly worth a watch just for the background art alone.

With great animation that still holds up more than 60 years later and a memorable cast of characters, all it's really missing is any depth whatsoever. A plodding, slice-of-life style narrative combined with characters that, while enjoyable, are also rather one note, make it one of the definite weaker Disney classics for me. It's still a worthwhile watch just for its name recognition alone, but it wasn't quite for me.
