Bambi is definitely an animated classic that is at times pretty disturbing. Well, that scene when the hunters killed Bambi's mom was, at least. This is a must see for fans of Disney, and I remember loving this as a kid, but with time, the power of the film has slightly waned on me, and it's not the same film as I
remember it being. For what it is, this is a very good film, and is a must see family film. The film is definitely one of Disney's most memorable films simply for the fact that Bambi's mom died, and it was deemed the saddest moment in film history or something like that. The film is sad, depressing at times, but it really is fun, entertaining and funny too. There are plenty of memorable characters that make this film special. Yes, it's traumatic, but there are more good moments in this film than bad. This film legacy, whatever your thoughts on this film may be, is secured. This is a solid piece of animation and is one of the finest films that Disney has made. The story is great, the voice talents are good as well, and the finished product is a memorable and classic animated film that has stood the test of time. This is a beautifully drawn film that despite the fact that it's depressing at times, like I stated before, there's lots of more than bad, and Bambi remains an animated classic. A must see film. A truly wonderful, and unique cinematic experience.
