Reviews

Chatverock Takes itself way too seriously
SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
lazycrazy-27606 First of all, the animation is gorgeous, it's really beautiful, everything is amazingly drawn. I'm not a fan of computer animation so i loved hand-drawn landmarks in this. The story is very simple. It's not really as sad as people say it is, i think it's because i never watched this as a child. Plot is almost non-existent, nothing really important happens, just slice of life i have to admit in the end i was really bored and i skipped a lot. This movie could easily be shorter. But i loved the ending. If you want an interesting, engaging movie - it's not. If you want a simple slice of life growing-up movie without nearly any plot - it is.
edm-75553 This feature-length cartoon is decades old, but it is impossible to watch this and not feel a special scorn for the gun nuts and their lobby organization, the NRA. It depicts so sadly what men with guns can do and will do. Moreover, the hated for nature that such thugs carry in their hearts makes one so sad. Bambi is a message from another time intended for today, tomorrow and wherever mothers, children and innocence exists.
patboldt Bambi is one of the first Disney stories to be made and honestly it's one of the best. It's a simple slice of life story that encompasses the meaning of beauty, which is increased by gorgeous Disney animation. This movie is great solely due to how visually impressive it is, something that modern animated movies seem to struggle with. The animals and scenery are very lively and when one watches this movie it really feels as if one is staring into a storybook that comes to life. Sometimes, you don't need a movie to have a very complex story to be effective and this movie is proof of it. It has perhaps some of the most violent and heartbreaking scenes in a movie, especially a Disney movie. I won't spoil it but you can probably guess what it is, heck you might already know what it is, but let me tell you that is just as impactful as everyone says. However, the movie is still heartwarming and will make you feel good as much as it will make you sad. It's a film about nature and it gives a unique and well written take on the...cough cough....Circle of Life...cough cough. I know that sounds bad but before The Lion King, there was this. This movie stands above many Disney films and has aged almost perfectly. If Disney ever tries to remake this movie it just won't work because this is a timeless film. It was one of the best from the Golden Age of Disney and proof that Walt Disney knew how to make amazing stories. I give it an 8/10 and think one who likes both animation and Disney should give it a watch.
SlyGuy21 The movie starts off pretty slow, but it picks up around the half-way point. It wasn't until there was about 25 minutes left that I realized the story was about growing up. A bit of a delayed realization I know, but I was honestly too distracted by how cutesy it was. Once the 30 minute mark passed, I didn't think I'd like this, but once the darker moments started to show up, I liked it a lot more. Apparently the novel it's based off of is more graphic, I might have to give that a read sometime. The theme of growing up has been done better in Disney movies, (look at "The Lion King" and even "Inside Out" if you want better examples) but "Bambi" is a good addition to that list. It's beautifully animated, innocent at times and pretty dark as well. I recommend showing your kids this if you want to show them what it's like to grow up in a nutshell.
