Bambi [DVD]

Product Information

Bambi was originally filmed and exhibited in the Academy aspect ratio, and it is therefore correctly presented in a 1.33:1 "fullscreen" transfer. The film has been drastically and digitally remastered and one could certainly tell this, even if there wasn't a Disc 2 bonus feature on the subject. You'd be hard-pressed to find a flaw in the picture, and harder pressed to locate an imperfection that doesn't match the original film.

There are comments on specific gags, the kids who will voice the characters, intentions of scenes, and establishing personalities and plot. We see how Walt's other projects (shorts and feature films) offer inspiration for Bambi in developing ideas or certain things to focus on. This supplement only gets slightly redundant as the conversations are visualized nearly verbatim in the film. For the most part, it's interesting to listen in on the creative process that gives us the enduring images of Bambi.

Slightly more than halfway into the film, there comes a moment as dramatic and devastating as any in a Disney film. While the scene might have surprised early audiences not familiar with Salten's book, it has left such an impression on children and parents over the years that it can hardly be unexpected even for those who haven't seen Bambi. While grazing in the meadows with her son, Mother hears danger off in the distance. The danger is Man, hunting in the area. We recognize this because the deer faced the same predicament just a bit earlier and because Frank Churchill's eery, repetitive crescendo of score has returned. Against expectations, Bambi's mother is shot and killed off-screen. The Making of Bambi: A Prince Is Born” documentary (in six sections, which can be selected individually) (53:18): Like Thumper, Bambi learns from his mother and his father is for the most part absent. He later understands that the highly revered Great Prince of the Forest, a deer who has lived twice as long as any other, is his father. But in his youth, Bambi's world consists primarily of his mother, Thumper, and a friendly skunk who assumes the name Flower when Bambi mistakenly identifies him as that. Bambi's mother teaches him about the meadow (a place that's wonderful but can be dangerous) and she's there to explain things when Bambi discovers both girls (a giggly female deer named Faline) and snow for the first time.

It still looks like a Disney animated film from the early 1940s, rather than appearing artificially clean and sharp. The picture remains a bit of grain, which keeps it, as it should, true to its roots. The long wait for Bambi to come to DVD has resulted in the best-looking presentation of any of the earliest Disney films, a transfer that's far better than Dumbo and even more pleasing than the well-remastered picture of Fantasia and Snow White. Fortunately, all of that work hasn't changed the beautiful artwork. While I don't know Bambi well enough to point out any anomalies,
