For Bambi 1942 movie, Walt Disney attempted to achieve realistic detail in this animated film.

Bambi (1942) was Walt Disney's personal favorite of all his animated features.

Brief story

A doe gives birth to a fawn in the thicket whom she names Bambi. After he learns to walk, Bambi best friends Thumper, a young rabbit, and while learning to talk he meets Flower, a young skunk. One day his mother takes him to the meadow, a place that is both wonderful and frightening. There he meets Faline, a doe-fawn, and his father, the Great Prince of the Forest. It is also during this visit that Bambi has his first encounter with man, who causes all the animals to flee the meadow.

Review

"Disney Bambi movie is eternal because it is simple and the simplicity is the hardest thing to obtain for a creative. We watched Bambi going through the stages of life: first look, first lift, first step, first word, first friend, first lesson, first love, first struggle for existence and so, all they presented so exciting and so full of colour. Is eternal because is just like the cycle of the life."
