Reviews for Bambi
The fun and fear, the silliness and heartbreak, are taken to vivid extremes by Walt's entwining of high art and what snobs will always deride as Disney-kitsch.
Overrated by people who never read the original book and think kids' voices with speech impediments are cute.
In colors that would surprise even the spectrum itself, Disney's cartoon craftsmen have re-created a woodland that shimmers and glows and darkens altogether magically.
... introduced us to a Hobbesian world where bad things could happen to the adorable, and sent thousands of children blubbering into theater lobbies around the world.
Beautiful in every sense of the word. I consider it the finest Disney Classic out there.
