Disney Movie Marathon #5 Bambi (1942)

I LOVE BAMBI!!! (I love Bambi 2 too, but this isn't about that). Out of all of Disney's Golden era films I've seen Bambi the most. I've been looking forward to this one in the movie marathon.

Story: I don't think enough people appreciate or give Bambi credit because they think it's only a movie about cute animals frolicking in a forest. Yes it has these things, but that's barely scratching the surface. This is very much a coming of age story about a young deer and how there is always change with the forest and its inhabitants. It's not a fairy tale or a straight dramatic story where good beats evil. It's the circle of life, growing up, and change of the seasons. With change comes both good and bad. And we see the range of good and bad through Bambi's point of view from his innocent early life to taking his role as protector of the forest.

Characters: I can't stress enough how good it is to have children play children in animated roles because it makes the interactions that much more believable. Bambi is the only one who really gets fleshed out as we see him literally from the day he's born until he's the "Great Prince of the Forest". There are plenty of forest animals but the most notable being Thumper, Flower and Faline. Thumper taking role of mischievous best friend, Flower as a secondary shy friend, and Faline as love interest. Honorable mention to Friend Owl because he is a mood for cranky mornings.

Animation/Art: Like Fantasia being a flex in animation in general Bambi is a flex specifically for animals. This is the movie where Disney shows how hard they studied animal forms. If you compare this to previous movies you see the animals have flesh, muscle, and bone. Bambi has one of my favorite art styles. Every shot has painterly qualities and the way colors change based on mood sometimes more graphic really enhances what you're watching. Each film has a style but this one has one of the most visually distinct in my opinion.

Songs: While not having any bangers (though Little April Shower is my personal banger) the music is constant. Again like Fantasia where the music or lack of goes hand in hand with the imagery. The little things are accentuated with the music and perfectly pair with movements
