Bambi [G]

Join Bambi, the wide-eyed faun and new Prince of the forest, as he discovers the wonders of the world around him. Joined by his friends Thumper the rabbit and Flower the skunk, Bambi discovers life, danger, seasons, and love. 

It’s another Disney classic that’s incredibly heart-warming and adorable, but (and I’m just being honest) Bambi would have to be one of the cutest but pointless Disney films to date. I still love it though! 

Join Bambi, the wide-eyed faun and new Prince of the forest, as he discovers the wonders of the world around him. Joined by his friends: the playful rabbit Thumper, the grumpy old Friend Owl, and the bashful skunk Flower, Bambi discovers life, danger, loss, and love. 

The appeal of Bambi is the crystal clear animation and the cute forest critters. There really is no story to speak of, it’s just the circle of life with the obvious heartbreaking drama thrown in. 
I’ll admit the film is sad, but the sadness is suggestive and really, would go right over the heads of the younger audience if their parents weren’t there to explain what just happened. As sad as it was, Bambi was not enough to reduce me to tears like The Lion King or Beauty and the Beast has done. 
Featuring the voice talents of Hardie Albright, Stan Alexander, Peter Behn, Tim Davis, Thelma Boardman Donnie Dunagan, Ann Gillis, and Sam Edwards, Bambi is one of the cutest Disney films ever filled with adorable forest critters, enchanting music, smatterings of comedy, and the occasional bout of drama. It may be a pointless Disney film, but it’s a classic nonetheless!
