1942-"Bambi"



Bambi is a 1942 American animated film produced by Walt Disney and based on the book Bambi, A Life in the Woods by Austrian authorFelix Salten. The film was released by RKO Radio Pictures on August 13, 1942, and it is the fifth film in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series.
The main characters are Bambi, a white-tailed deer, his parents (the Great Prince of the forest and his unnamed mother), his friends Thumper(a pink-nosed rabbit), and Flower (a skunk), and his childhood friend and future mate, Faline. For the movie, Disney took the liberty of changing Bambi's species into a white-tailed deer from his original species of roe deer, since roe deer don't inhabit the United States, and the white-tailed deer is more familiar to Americans. This film received three Academy Award nominations for Best Sound, Best Song for "Love Is a Song" and Original Music Score.
In June 2008, the American Film Institute presented a list of its "10 Top 10"—the best ten films in each of ten "classic" American film genres—after polling over 1,500 people from the creative community. Bambi placed third in animation.- Information from wikipedia.org
Bambi was my first Disney movie! I remember going around saying all the lines from it. It really is the first movie I remember understanding.
I don't have a whole lot of comments on this film. I just know that I don't like the voice of Thumper's girlfriend, and that I forgot Bambi fought another deer for Faline. And........Sterling Holloway is the voice of Flower as an adult! <3>
Bambi is a great classic Disney film! I recommend it to all families! It is I great movie to start your kids off with. I know from experience! LOL
