Vies only with Pinocchio as the most technically accomplished work of animation to come from the studio's Golden Age... the last gasp of a maturity and gravity that would immediately disappear from Disney's features.

This animated feature based on Felix Salten's book about the coming of age of a fawn and his various forest friends (including the beloved Thumper) does convey some of the primal emotional power of Disney's features during this period.
Top CriticFor the first time, Disney has done his backgrounds in oils instead of watercolors. The result is striking.
Top CriticThe glow and texture of the Disney brush reach new heights, especially in the treatment of a summer thunderstorm and a raging snowstorm.
Top CriticA beautifully realised milestone in children's animation that balances outright sentiment with gentle wit, and negotiates its darker moments with skill.
Top CriticStill a fantastic fable with some excellent animation and a great story
In 1942, the emotional scene in which Bambi's mother is killed by hunters was controversial: Some critics charged that it traumatized young children while defenders claimed that it was honest, realistic, and less graphic than its depiction in the book.
Walt himself would have been proud of the two-disc special edition, which restores the Disney classic back to its original museum-quality luster ... maybe the only missing extra in this treasure is Bambi Meets Godzilla.
From Disney's richest period, interleaving splendid animation with vulgar Americana.
Top CriticFawn-dly revered Disney classic.
Among the best Disney animated features
What has been lost in the 60-plus years since its intial release is what a watershed work Bambi was for its time.
With an emphasis on character development over plot, the film isn't quite as accessible as some of Disney's more recent efforts...
There are two ways to look at Bambi/i>: as a museum piece or as entertainment. Focus on the latter and the film unravels.
Some classic sequences, but also too much Disney deer kitsch.
I had forgotten how utterly, astonishingly beautiful the film is.
“Look, Ma! No fungus and no moss-syphilis!”
Bambi is . . . MALE?!
People just really like cuddly animals, and there's not a dang thing you can do about it.
