Amazon.com essential video:
It always comes up when people are comparing their most traumatic movie experiences: "the death of Bambi's mother," a recollection that can bring a shudder to even the most jaded filmgoer. That primal separation (which is no less stunning for happening off-screen) is the centerpiece of Bambi, Walt Disney's 1942 animated classic, but it is by no means the only bold stroke in the film. In its swift but somehow leisurely 69 minutes, Bambi covers a year in the life of a young deer. But in a bigger way, it measures the life cycle itself, from birth to adulthood, from childhood's freedom to grown-up responsibility. All of this is rendered in cheeky, fleet-footed style--the movie doesn't lecture, or make you feel you're being fed something that's good for you. The animation is miraculous, a lush forest in which nature is a constantly unfolding miracle (even in a spectacular fire, or those dark moments when "man was in the forest"). There are probably easier animals to draw than a young deer, and the Disney animators set themselves a challenge with Bambi's wobbly glide across an ice-covered lake, his spindly legs akimbo; but the sequence is effortless and charming. If Bambi himself is just a bit dull--such is the fate of an Everydeer--his rabbit sidekick Thumper and a skunk named Flower more than make up for it. Many of the early Disney features have their share of lyrical moments and universal truths, but Bambi is so simple, so pure, it's almost transparent. You might borrow a phrase from Thumper and say it's downright twitterpated. --Robert Horton

- "Twitterpated?"
The kids of today might have The Incredibles, Wall-E, Chicken Little, and Cars. We adults, though, will always remember the classics that made Disney an animation empire. Films like Fantasia, The Lion King, Bambi, and Aladdin are considered some of our childhood favorites. Bambi, specifically, is one that deals with Mother Nature and the troubles with Man.You really care for Bambi, Thumper, Flower, and the others. Personally, I never cried during the fateful scene that changes Bambi's life forever, ... Read More

Rating: - Bambi Purchase Review
I was very impressed with not only the quality of the product, but also the timing of delivery.I was told it could take up to 22 days to arrive and I received it in 5.It was a joy to have it arrive before my daughter and grandson arrived home for spring break.It's my daughter's favorite movie and I wanted to have it returned to my video library so my grandson could enjoy the same movie his momma and his mawmaw both enjoyed as girls.
Rating: - perfect for disney fan
disney movies are desired by anyone with children, especially girls, the problem is they are very difficult to find. i looked in all the major stores for dvds to purchase and asked around, and was always told the same thing, they only come out during certain times, they arent produced anymore etc. so i got the next best thing, vhs. Vhs movies are easy to find online and considerably cheaper than purchasing a dvd. most are used, but in very excellent condition depending upon which seller you choose. i ... Read More
