  Here are some reasons why Bambi is the greatest animated film ever made:

  - It shows life in all its little imperfections and grand tribulations.

  - The amount of joy, humor, tears, and discovery to be found within its tight 70 minute run-time is indescribably beautiful.

  - The characters are layered, fully-formed, and crafted to perfection.

  -The animation is second to none, showcasing subtle details and landscapes that blow me away after every viewing.

  - The classic themes are as potent and wonderful as ever.

  - A scene involving death is the most emotional scene in the history of animated cinema.

  - The music is breathtaking, especially in the "April Shower" sequence.

  - This movie has Thumper. Enough said.

  Didn't think there was enough story content or compelling character moments to sustain a feature film sadly. If this was a short film I'd love it

  A firm favourite of my oldest daughter of seven. She has been harassing her four year old brother about watching it. Today he caved and asked if they could watch it.

  There is something uniquely magical about what happens to kids' faces while watching these gorgeous hand drawn images. A smile, a frown, fear, but always eyes wide open flicking across the screen trying to take everything in and actually succeeding as the images are fluid and calm. They were transfixed for the entire seventy minutes.

  Afterwards, as per usual, my daughter started a reenactment of the entire thing. When I asked my son what he thought he said just two words.

  'People suck.'

  Truer words have rarely been spoken

  Maybe my favorite Disney movie. Just staggeringly beautiful to look at, and so much more delicate and subtle and unsentimental a “circle of life” film than The Lion King would be half a century later. Death is a part of life, kids. That was the lesson this morning.

  My favorite part of the film is when Bambi, Thumper, and Flower meet up after winter.

  Thumper: "Bros!!!! That winter was brutal, how are my homies?"
  Bambi: "My ma died but now my bros are here so it's all good."
  Flower: "This is the squad! No girls can tear us apart!"
  Thumper: "No way! Bros before hoes am I right?"

  A female skunk comes in.

  Flower: "Oh damn! Boys it was great seeing you, I'll see you next spring my dudes!"
  Thumper: "Flower is so weak dawg, leaving us for a woman!"

  A female rabbit comes in.

  Thumper: "Gotta go my hombre, this girl wants a taste of my carrot!"

  A female deer comes in.

  Bambi: "No! I'm a lone…

  Review by Sally Jane Black ★★★★½ 7

  They're deer, rabbits, skunks, squirrels, owls.

  This is rather astonishing. Barring a few notable exceptions, most animal-centered films go out of their way to humanize the animals, to show them as living in a human-like society with flourishes of animal-like behavior. Here, the film emphasizes that the world they live in is that of animals*. They do this by rooting the narrative in animal behavior (hibernation, for instance) and more importantly by contrasting them with the villain Man. Making humans the villain clearly delineates this world between animal and human.

  This is important. What would be seen as a neglectful father or a sexist romance is instead just animal behavior. You can see distinctions between types of animals and their…

  JUNIMATION

  Oh hi, bambi’s mom!

  ….goodbye bambi’s mom!

  Aside from the fact that this film featured what many still see as one of the most traumatic deaths in cinema history, I didn't know much else about the story of this iconic deer, so coming into this movie I went in completely blank.

  While the film's plot could have been more compelling, the beautiful animation and Bambi's endearing companions make for a pleasant viewing experience. The owl is without a doubt my favorite character; his diatribe was the funniest and most amusing part of the film. The cinematography, especially in the periods of desolation, has a quality that is both eerie and stunning.

  All in all, again, I would have liked a better focused story and tension in the suspenseful moments, but other than that, this was a nice watch.
