Het hert Bambi wordt bij zijn geboorte uitgeroepen tot "Prins van het Bos". Wanneer hij ouder wordt raakt Bambi bevriend met andere dieren in het bos, leert hij te overleven, en wordt hij verliefd. Op een dag komen er echter jagers langs, en wordt Bambi gedwongen om net zo moedig te zijn als zijn vader, en de andere herten in veiligheid te brengen. (Buena Vista International)

Cynicism aside, Disney's army of eye-catching forest animals disarmed me perfectly. The animators have done an incredible job, and the film still has, I would say, much of the strangely captivating charm that it stunned the world with over seventy years ago. The animals really do act like the real thing and you can see that the Disney people have studied them carefully, plus they don't talk much and none of them sing. In the end I didn't even notice the emotional blackmail, which I was terrified of beforehand. But I heard the bombastic musical accompaniment and for an hour and a bit I felt like I was in a completely different world. Which was fine.

Catching up with the Disney classics when you are older has its advantages and disadvantages. You no longer look at the film through the eyes of a child, you do notice things that a young eye and mind will miss. Bambi offers a mostly simple story about the circle of life with all the good and not so good moments. From a carefree playful childhood with a bittersweet aftertaste (who doesn't know the sad fate of Bambi's mother?), to a "frumpy" misguided adolescence (with more than one "adult" reference that a young child won't understand), to responsible adulthood. In terms of animation, this is a solidly made timeless film – though I watched the remastered version – that appeals for its innocence and rawness at the same time.

Maybe I'm sentimental or something, but this film absolutely got to me. Not just because it's touching, but because it beautifully captures the adolescence of a little mouse. There are emotions here, both positive and negative, there is good animation, and most importantly, beautiful artwork. The backgrounds are stunning, as is the music, which Disney, or rather his studio, knows how to perfectly blend with the film. The occasional horror atmosphere, and it's not an exaggeration, is absolutely fantastic. A piece over 70 years old, but truly deserving of being a golden treasure of animated film.
