Bambi is a wonderful film. It is compact, affecting, and more relevant than most of the Disney studio's animated output. While fantasy lends itself to some magical moments of cinema and an exploration of the imagination, there's something to be said for the unabashed realism that marks this story. To declare that Bambi is entirely different from other Disney films would not be entirely true. The film contains cute animals, children (in animal form), comedy, music, and adventure, all of which are staples of the Disney canon and mostly present in films from Walt's era. But this picture stands out for its unique take on life and character development.

Bambi was undoubtedly a heavy influence on that film, a fact which doesn't go unnoticed from the makers of Lion King in the documentary on Disc 2. In fact, Bambi lays a blueprint for the "circle of life" structure and story of that more contemporary/postmodern production. Though not a single man or woman appears onscreen in either one of the two films, they are among the most human of Disney animation. They're also among the best, by most standards. Inside Walt's Story Meetings" is a unique new bonus feature which is presented in lieu of an audio commentary. You still get nearly the entire film onscreen for the 70-minute duration of the extra, but it is accompanied by concept art and production documents from time-to-time. The audio is a re-enactment of the creative meetings that Walt and his filmmakers held throughout the production of Bambi. Those conferences were thoroughly transcribed, and they now come to life in the readings.

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 Fox and the Hound (25th Anniversary Edition) • The Incredibles • Pocahontas (10th Anniversary Edition) The discussions here touch a variety of topics, covering just about all the different parts of the 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.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. The Making of Bambi: A Prince Is Born” 6-part documentary (in six sections, which can be selected individually) (53:00) Bambi's technical prowess and visual richness, though, do not take center stage. That is because Bambi's coming-of-age story is particularly potent and remains so more than six decades later. The film tells about Bambi, a deer who happens to be the young prince of the forest but seems ordinary in every way. The opening sequence depicts the various animal inhabitants of the woods learning of the deer's birth, and all proceed to see the newborn faun. In time, Bambi will prove himself good-hearted and brave. But at his infancy, he's merely innocent and emerging in a world that's both simple and complex.
