Critic Reviews
βThis 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.β
Plot Summary
A young male deer Bambi learns things and rules of living in a forest on his own but with the loss of family members and friends.
The Last Golden movie from the Golden age of Disney
Disney forgot to make another fully animated movie after the release of Bambi. So, the question might arise that Bambi is a calm and gentle farewell? If you haven’t watched it, you might think so; and the slightly sweet opening scene can confirm this point. But be prepared to be thrown out of your seat. The forest contains darkness and light.
The sound of gunfire in the silence is truly shocking (Disney and Hande have plenty of ways to make it even more shocking: Consider a scene where a flock of birds huddled in the grass until someone decides to fly through the air and risk it. die. Instead of enduring suspense). It’s also worth noting that “Bambi” has use of psychological color in it. In at least three key scenes, the color scheme has changed a lot, not because of the sunset or something like that, but to illustrate Bambi’s state of mind.
The particularly wonderful scene is that he flees the clearing in fear, and the world turns to pale and dirty yellows. The best thing about it is the way Disney tries to convince us that there is nothing but forests in the world. We couldn’t see the horizon once. We can’t feel it either. By certain standards, not much happened in the forest. How many people died and how many people were born. What’s new? But when forests are the whole world, they are very important.
Scenes and music complimenting each other
There are no strange scenes here, it moves seamlessly throughout its life story cycle, and the charming animals bring the story to a logical conclusion. The background score complements all chaos and comedy. The Storm Sequence is the most beautiful music and painting combination ever created by a Disney artist. The deer drawn by nature is the result of months of careful preparation and research, giving the whole film a sense of natural research and providing great entertainment for the audience. The atmosphere is not as cheesy as people remember.
There is an undercurrent of fear to the whole thing, a sense of danger. Although the forest is beautiful and charming, it is also dangerous. The handling of people in the film is surprisingly mature: the existence of human beings does not put the main characters in ridiculous cartoons, but invisible, it feels more like a natural disaster than a creature. Strings and chord work are very soothing on songs like “Love is a song”, “I Bring You a Song” and “April Light Rain”. Influenced by Japanese artist Tyrus Wong, the Impressionist Forest shines with a life of its own and is the true star of this film. It’s no wonder this is Disney’s favorite movie. It will always stay fresh and young. An amazing achievement!
Conclusion
Thatβs it, pals. Iβm taking leave now. Weβll get back to you soon. Till then watch some more Disney-stamped movies like The Lion King, Pirates of The Caribbean, and Beauty and The Beast.
