The LFE do make their presence known, but not quite as often as I’d have liked (especially during the forest fire sequence). Surrounds are present, but not overly active during the movie. I realize that the score is some seven decades old, but to me the majority of the action seemed to take place in the front channels. While this differs a bit from a true Master Audio mix, the film has again never sounded better. Bambi has been given a remixed soundtrack with a new DTS HD High Resolution mix. Audio: How does it sound?Īs with the video, the audio really had nowhere to go. There’s nothing more to say here – it looks amazing.

So we get the appearance of a full widescreen film, though the action is only taking place in the 1.33:1 area. The 1.33:1 AVC HD transfer is shown in a full-frame format, though Disney has included a nifty little feature called “Disney View” which shows some art to fill up those black bars. Quite simply, this is a pristine image that looks far better than I’d have ever expected. Granted it’s easier to do with animation, but I’ve seen some not so impressive animated films in the past.

For a movie of this age, I was very surprised at how crisp and clean everything looked. Then again, the version that came out in 2012 looked pretty good and Disney knows the importance of this title and has done a top notch job at preserving the print. There appears to be nothing new when it comes to the transfer. The children will love it and the adults can reflect back to when they first saw the movie. Like, or unlike, depending on your point of view the animated films of today Bambi plays to both adults and children alike and how can you not shed a tear while watching the cutest doe react when his mother won’t wake up? I sound like a broken record here, but Bambi is about the most essential film you can have in your library. Disney releases their classic films for a limited time and you’d better snatch this up while you can else it’ll go back in the vault. In a nutshell, that’s the plot behind Bambi.Īs I said, the movie is one of the jewels in Disney’s crown and with its release on Blu-ray there’s really no better way to experience this film. As we’ll learn later in The Lion King we see that Bambi must now complete the circle of life and become a father of his own. He’s got friends in the forest, of course, with Thumper (the rabbit) and Flower (the skunk) and as time passes, we see Bambi grow from a doe into an adult. But it so happens that Bambi’s mother falls victim to a hunter and we watch as he has to grow up alone. His feet are wobbly and we’ve all seen the scene on the ice where he and friend Thumper are having the time of their lives. I could go on and on, but to justify Disney sending this to me, I’ll give everyone a synopsis of the plot. Kids might not realize it, but we all know what happens in the wild and that “Man” was the true antagonist in the film. The film was actually one of the ones that featured a death of a major character as well. Bambi, like these other classic Disney tales, is about as timeless a classic as they come. If you’ve never heard of any of those movies, stop reading this review right now and do a search on at least one of them. Movies like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Pinocchio and of course Bambi. Essentially everyone, from little kids who can barely talk, to those that are old enough to remember seeing them in theaters, knows of at least a few of their classic animated films. The Disney studio might not have pioneered animation, but they did bring it mainstream. Plot: What’s it about? Video: How does it look? Audio: How does it sound? Supplements: What are the extras? The Bottom Line Plot: What’s it about?
