The death of Bambi's mother is horrible of course, but the biggest shock I got was that poor bird that panicks and flies up to her death.
I think people find Bambi 'boring' because it is not an action adventure or something like that. But it is not boring. It is just a movie with a slower flow following the life of one fawn and the flow of nature.
you just described why it is boring.
It’s actually my favourite of the early Disney movies. I especially love the soundtrack, I can’t think of anything quite like it.
Agreed. It's a movie about life. And that's not boring at all. Just not the preference of some.
Me too.@@elsakristina2689
The book is so much darker. Faline has a brother called Gobo who gets caught by the huntsman, but bc he’s a little fawn he is good to him and let’s him free when he’s an adult. Gobo tries to convince the other animals that the huntsman is good and kind if he loves someone. He wants to prove that by going out on the meadow to greet his „old friend“ and gets shot
Thats sad, i didnt hear about that (also didn't know that there was a bambi book that wasnt a Golden)
@@Cantmakeupmymindonaname it’s an Austrian novel (originally written in German of course).
jesus christ I literally never expected the Bambi story to be sadder than it is lol
I remember reading the original book and realizing it was so much more gritty and downbeat, but at the same time very involving.
@@colettepot7350 well that would explain things
2:56 "so what actually is the plot of this movie? Is there a plot?"
Me: Survive
me: idiot. You think a movie from 1942 that is STILL popular doesn't have a PLOT??
Me: and Nature
Bambi is an artistic masterpiece. It's often misunderstood because basically it throws out all the usual kid movie tropes. It's an emotional, symbolic kind of story. There's minimal dialogue but it works because the visuals and music tell the story.
Too many movies nowdays are about characters,lore worldbuilding, ect, so rarely we get movies like this with are artistic showcases where you actually have to figure out a massage!
This movie is 80 years old and still looks damn good. Also, "Bambi" is never "boring". Atmospheric, engrossing, and deliberate yes.
Originally they were going to show us a scene of Bambi seeing a man dead either from a shooting accident or from the fire - there's a scene in the book where his father shows him that. Throughout the book they've all seen 'Man' as an unstoppable entity so realising that 'Man' can die as they do and that they're not all-powerful is a big shock to him. There's a sketch of a man's hand holding onto a gun but it never got further than that - don't remember if it was deemed too dark or if they just couldn't make it come out right, either way they dropped it.
Just a heads up: There are 62 animated films in the Disney canon. And every single one of them is worth watching in some capacity.
I didn't know there was that many! I'm glad that I'll have plenty of movies to watch then, especially since I'll watch other movies besides Disney too.
@@CashmereWatches Bambi 2 is actually great and pretty underrated in my opinion and it connects with the first one
@@muslimwoolfy-winterequestr4344 Sir Patrick Steward voices the Great Prince
@@CashmereWatches Have you seen the 8 Harry Potter movies? If no, i recommend them highly. If you have seen them, i recommend even more highly the three full length Very Potter musicals based on them (starring Darren Criss) by Starkid.
@@CashmereWatches Watching you react to this makes me want to see you react to Dumbo. And Lady and the Tramp.
(And then there's Pinoccio... and Snow White...)
This film as a piece of art is one of the most remarkable achievements of cinema. I’ve seen this movie so many times that I can pinpoint what section of the film is playing in another room just based on a sound or music cue. The background imagery of Tyrus Wong combined with the multi plane camera, the realistic movements of the characters, and the beautiful score make for one of my favorite memories.
Same. And it was also the first time animation intensively studied anatomy to combine realistic animal movement with animation. As an artist it taught me how even boring things are super important for art
I have the VHS so they had the behind the scenes at the end and it was really really cool
Like how they would have the artists circle round and plop droplets of milk on a platelet for them the animate the April showers scene
And omg the Ronno vs Bambi scene was so intense and the OIL PAINTING of it all... honestly the most beautiful movie from disney imo
I love that behind the scenes feature so damn much. it made me love the art of animation so much
The Last Unicorn is another movie worth watching, for the artistic style. :)
Yes, I hope she watches The Last Unicorn one day! It’s one of my favorite animated films ever, and there aren’t really any reactions to it that I’ve been able to find. Love the mixture of 80s anime and Eyvind Earle art styles. And the soundtrack still makes me cry 🥲
I always loved Bambi. It's important to note that this was in production at the same time as Dumbo, so there isn't really much of an overlap of character animators, sequence directors, or even background artists. My buddy on Twitter prefers Dumbo over this perhaps because of the freedom that all the animators had, they didn't have to rely on realism. But as far as Bambi is concerned, you have to give animators like Frank Thomas, Marc Davis and Ken O'Brien respect for drawing those lifelike deer and those cute little critters and to the directors David Hand and Perce Pearce. I love Dumbo too.
Dumbo is my favorite old Disney movie but Bambi is my second favorite. They're both beautiful films
Yeah. Dumbo was actually the first movie I ever watched and I kinda hold this belief that you are your first movie. But there’s also hurt that Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, etc didn’t end up working on Dumbo, because a documentary was made about the two animators.
And Ty Wong for his backgrounds!!
Bambi most likely is 1 of the most important movies Disney has ever done. The death of Bambi's mother was so traumatic for a lot of people (not just kids, adults too(!) it sparked an intense interest in animal rights from that point on. Bambi was 1 of the first movies from Disney so dying parents wasn't that common, people were not used to it. Not just Bambi's mom, but also the way hunters/mankind is portrayed in this movie (even though we never see a human on screen, only the consequences of their actions and they are a foreboding presence).
I mean good hunters aren't like the ones in Bambi. Sometimes hunting is necessary for population. I do agree though many hunters are very disrespectful to nature. Good hunters respect the deer and don't do something like putting it's head on the wall.
@@Mothobius That is absolutely true, real hunters aren't lunatics that just shoot on everything that moves. In my country they are very in tune with nature and respect it. Know exactly when to shoot what and how to do it.
You will always have the trophy/sport hunters but we don't have much of those since penalty is high.
Hunting during winter for ex. is prohibited, éspecially a doe with fawn. Deer on the run are also never to be shot, since hunters want to go for an instant kill therefor shooting in 'standstill' increases chances.
Makes me have the horrible idea that Bambi's mom didn't die from the shot itself. She got injured and maybe even saw Bambi fleeing the scene, having a last sense of relief. Only to be found, finished off and collected by the hunter later.
But there are many things wrong with the depiction of hunters in Bambi (dogs never chase, they only retrieve!) and I could go on. But this is a different time period so.
@@MissFlow well this is the 1940s. Back then hunting wasn't really regulated. You could go into the woods and shoot 5 bears and it would probably not be of a big concern. Hunting was more like a free for all in older times.
@Mothobius hunting was heavily regulated in the 1940s because of all the market hunting that was done before... im not sure where you got that information
I think this is Disney's best movie they've made. Not my favorite, but definitely the best.
I love the April showers song and how the chorus is in the place of the winds.
And i think it really adds to the intensity of a scene when they include the shading on the characters, like when the Great Prince runs to warn the other deer, or when Bambi is fighting, the frolic through the meadow, and the run through the fire. Absolutely gorgeous!
The best way to describe this movie's plot is a coming of age story; it's just the life of this deer. The story is more told through the atmosphere, the music, the animation. For all intents and purposes, the death of Bambi's mom, both for Bambi and for the young audience this is aimed for, is the moment where we understand the harshness of life. That moment is a moment of maturity for so many children, even if they're messed up for life. There will still be happiness afterwards, an moments returning to that childhood wonder, but there is always that reality that could strike at any moments
I heard a theory that Bambi's mum said "Don't look back! Keep running!" because she knew she was buggered and she didn't want him to see her die
@Ethan Schmid My mum always walks on the side of the sidewalk where the road is so that she’ll get run over instead of me if a car gets too close
OMG Thank you so much for this reaction and commentary, I'm also an art student and Bambi is by far my favorite classic Disney movie, so I really really appreciated this video ❤️ Thanks for taking time to do the commentary even tho the movie isn't super plot heavy, but I think people are really sleeping on it, great video! I'll subscribe and like the video now 💕 I hope you do more classic movie commentaries!
This is so artistically beautiful. Not a boring movie at all, and my favorite Disney animated movie since I fist saw it 60 years ago. The Bambi books were hugely popular once upon a time, but have mature themes for sure,
I love your commentary on the art choices and can't wait to see you cover some more animation!
You have to find the strength to get up, every time, no matter how horrible it is you'll only have a chance of making it is if you get back you. That's what the story is. That scene when the Great Prince is telling him to get up - he knows that even though he wants to help him up he can't, his son has to learn to get up on his own and that if he never learns that he'll die. That's the story through the whole movie. In spite of his mothers death spring does come back. In spite of the fire the forest does start to grow back. In spite of the winter you have to learn to get by till it ends.
12:37 This scene is probably the most disturbing scene I saw as a kid in a kid's movie! I would get a knot in my stomach every time after a certain age. I think when I turned 7 or 8 I understood it better.
A childhood classic of mine. Thank you for watching and appreciating it!
I think you'd like Anastasia. Also has some unorthodox background styles, very aesthetically pleasing, and generally a good movie (even if historically inaccurate)
If you enjoyed this, you will DEFINETLY enjoy The Fox and The Hound. One of my favorites!
Bambi II is also really good. totally worth the watch it takes place after the passing of his mom
I've always viewed Bambi as a character study for a forest
Most of the oldest Disney movies are based on artistry rather then plot. The 30's and 40's one at least. Cinderella is the first real story.
Fun Fact: in the book, Bambi and the rest of the deer are roe deer, but in the movie they are either mule or white-tailed deer.
Who said, this film is boring?!
The alternate title of this film is "Humans Suck". Also, honestly? Anyone who thinks this film is "boring" is shallow.
The background art really adds to the story,all the different seasons🍁❄️🌼🌾💖Bambi is a classic!
Something i love about movies from this era is that they weren't afraid to show kids dark themes, and they were very up front about it.
Makes accepting death easier for kids when its right there, also gives them empathy for animals like they would have if they were to watch farm animals be butchered.
If you want something darker and more raw you could try the original watership down or the plague dogs. Two very old animated films in this sort of style. If you like reading you could also try to find a copy of the fox and the hound and read that. The novel is much much darker than the disney adaptation.
Why would anyone say this movie is boring, actually it's one of the few movies that followed rules of realism and nature. Take a look at watership down for example, it's known to be very traumatic and unapropriate for children, but that's how rabbits live irl, that's the realism one movie with animals needs the most. Bambi and watership down did only had one goal in mind, survival. In bambi there wasn't an actual plot but rather an art image showing us the life of an average deer. It's an image of an young fawn learning from his mother and friends basic things like jumping, running and other things, you also face challanges and face threats, such threat from predators and especially man, you might loose your loved parents Durning way, but you must continue the path, don't look back, as Bambi did looked back at that happy innocent childhood going away and he must face harsh reality of nature and that you must go on and accept it, it does affect the mentality but it will go away, as Bambi was still innocent and happy when he became full grown buck, you can meet new friends and find a suitable and beautiful mate that will make your life more happy, but you must fight other suitors to earn that. Disasters might happen but you must get away from these, even if it means risking your life and in the end the cycle starts over new life comes, old life dies and so going on, the circle of life. You know in nature there are very very few to no happy endings, the life continues
One of the things I love about this film is that you can remove all the dialogue and the story still works.
1 more thing. They brought actual deer into the studio for the artists and animators to draw reference frames from. And to just see how they move. And it paid off. They animated the deer very realistically.
Deers are amazing and beautiful creatures
That deer that bambi fought was ronno. He appears in the second bambi movie
I came ( relatively) late to Bambi. I was 15 when it was rereleased into theaters and I went to see it. I adored it immediately and bought the soundtrack... on vinyl, of course, at KMART. One of my favorites ever since. Enjoyed your review!
'Bambi' might not have a deep story, but the visuals, especially for the time they were made, were (and still are) gorgeous.
Another noteworthy thing about the movie is that it was the first time that a woman was given screen credit as an animator. Retta Scott's storyboards of the dogs chasing Feline were so good that Walt gave her the job of animating that scene (this was back when women weren't hired as animators, mind). She is an important person in the animation industry, but it makes you wonder what she could have accomplished if she had the chance. :(
Hi. I'm new here. Found your channel cuz this popped up in my recommended. Bambi is one of my favorite movies! It's not boring for me. I love every second of it.
Fantasia is definitely a Disney movie that should be near the top of your watch list. The entire film is a work of art.
The people that feel a film like this is boring, are most likely those you would not be interested in, hanging around. My favorite as a kid (I saw much the other kids didn't see) and as an artist, I keep my copy close at hand. It is on Laserdisc, so not digitalized, but right from the 35mm stock, as would have been seen in theaters, on first release. Very different, even in sound. Beautiful.
I LOVE the faun from "pans labyrinth" in the background 😍
If you're curious about who that other deer was who fought Bambi over faline, you should watch Bambi 2 (which is actually a miduel that happens after bambi lost his mom).
First time watching one of your reactions. Really appreciate your detailed and observant artistic perspective! Enjoyed it a lot.
I’m not an art student, but even just comparing the deer from Snow White to this movie, it’s obvious how much study went into deer anatomy for Bambi
This was way back when the first priority was to tell a story but still had a lot of love when it came to animation and characters.
This was a journey! Beautiful video, I enjoyed your reactions very much!
This was a fun reaction. I hope you will consider doing more one day when time allows.
I hope you check out Bambi 2 also!! i personally prefer it to the original tho the original has better aesthetic tbh also subscribed
I am a 50year olld man.. I have sean this film since I was 5....I cry all the time ... Good Luck xxxx
As a kid, I forgot Flower was a boy every time and would always be shocked at the deep voice when he grew up.
It's weird for me to see deer being so cautious and fearful. Where I live the deer are so secure you could walk within five feet of them and they'd just look at you. Normally all we see are does and fawns until it's either hunting season or late October early November for rutting season when the bucks show up because they know they're safe and no one can shoot at them. I stood and counted one day as a herd of about fourteen or fifteen does crossed the road not fifteen feet in front of me.
The music is very enchanting in this movie, it has a really realistic animation that animated movies these days don't have, probable cause the world wants to distant itself from nature. Which I highly disagree with, nature is nature and should be left as it is in my opinion.
I’m gonna be honest. The second time man comes and the birds tell the one bird not to fly, she does anyway and gets shot. I’m really sorry but it makes me laugh.
Also that spring scene with the bluebird RIGHT after Bambi’s mom dies, is a complete tonal whiplash which again makes me laugh hard because of the placement.
It's amazing what Disney did with animation in the 1940s without the aid of computers.
This movie has no real plot things sort of just happen to Bambi over the course of his life. It's one of the few Disney movies that has no over arching plot nor does it have a clear villain (ronno at the end is not evil just a rival stag for Bambi to fight) you could make an argument saying the real villain was nature and life itself all along.
Is 1942 when bambi is released
Re: the music; I'm assuming you looked up the composer, Frank Churchill. He worked on Snow White, Dumbo, Bambi and movies from other studios as well.
One of my favorite animated films from the 80s is an obscure movie called The Enchanted Journey. It is sort of like Homeward Bound in reverse, showing a pet chipmunk's escape to freedom. It's not Disney but it is very charming.
Interesting fact, before the creation of Smokey, Bambi was the spokesanimal for forest fires.
More reactions please Bambi! The BEST movie i see the old Magic Disney💞💞💞
The films plot i believe is to show us the beauty that lies within our forests and teaches us all to protect our forests and animals. The death of Bambi's mother i feel gives us and kids the reality of death and the circle of life 💔
Hahaha 🦌 I love Bambi sooo much ❤
This film is the opposite of boring for me. Those poor animals could never catch a break, that hunter theme sends me into panic every time
“Pheasants? Is that right?” I believe those are quail.
13:14 literally me every time I’ve watched this film since I was a kid lol
So much nostalgia! Loved the vid! Will you do Disney Dinosaur too? its very underrated!
Bambi is my favorite movie
I know a lot of artists don’t like Thomas Kinkade because they refer to a lot of his works as kitsch, but his painting “ Bambis first year” is stunning! (IMO). Check it out and let me know your opinion if you havent seen it yet.
No real plot. Just the story about a deer's life.
It’s the circle of life
I hope you watch Bambi 2 someday. It takes place after the death of his mom
Thanks so much! I wait for more reactions, pinocchio, Peter pan, Alice And womderland! 💘💘💖💘💖💘💖💘💘💖
Mother!
Oh let the tears roll
Bambi is such an amazingly beautiful movie, but…..the hunters make me see red.
A real hunter NEVER hunts does or babies.🥺😭
If you want non-Disney animation, DEFINITELY check out FIRE AND ICE, a fantasy/action film both inspired (and produced) by the great artist Frank Frazetta or the original THE LAND BEFORE TIME (practically BAMBI with Dinosaurs)
Great reaction! Can I recommend watership down?
watership down for the trauma the land before time for the feels
Are you gonna check out Fantasia soon?
You said two things that my friends have said. And that have spurred me into making a Bambi analysis video. #1 Bambi is boring.....NO IT'S NOT!
#2 Bambi has no plot.......YES IT DOES!
They were saying these things to get me mad. But they obviously also believe it to some degree. So I'm writing the script that will change their minds.
She never said that the movie was boring, she said that she has heard people sat that it's boring. If you watched this reaction, you'd know that she wasn't bored in the slightest bit.
@CartoonsEveryone I know she wasn't. I just don't like hearing that ANYONE thinks it's boring.
@@CartoonsEveryone even though it's obvious she enjoyed it. I am just tired of hearing it. Especially in a reaction that people watch and get influenced by
Fantasia is the perfect art student Disney movie
Lowkey, I've always wondered what the fuck is going on through that hunters mind when he sees A MOTHER DEER AND HER BABY eating the grass. Like, no joke, what kind of fucking heartless asshole does something like that? >:T
Have you reacted to the Italian "Fantasia". "Allegro non troppo" is briliant.
Welcome to the childhood of every older millennial and boomer, though I can only speak for millennials. Disney and every other animation company back then wanted to terrify children. 😉 We loved it, though. I highly recommend looking into animated movies of the 80s, especially ones from Don Bluth. You wanna talk about childhood nightmares and wonders all at the same time, jump right in, the water's terrifying. 😆🤘
Some recommendations (not based purely on the horrifying aspects, but also the gorgeous animation): An American Tale, All Dogs Go To Heaven, The Land Before Time. You won't be disappointed.
Also, for a small taste of millennial nostalgia that has horrifying moments, but is still a good movie: The Brave Little Toaster.
A beatiful movie.Unique.Check the book ,the story is different and is awesome too.
Well yeah riding animals in that way is a good thing because it makes you feel empathy towards them and towards their struggles if somebody was trying to make a movie about animal abuse or about how hunting is bad or I don’t know about anything bad happening to animals like deforestation and overhunting and you give them a voice I mean it’s terrifying could you imagine minding your own business eating food with your Friends and family and then all of a sudden your mom‘s head explode right in front of you and then your other friend collapses on the floor dead bleeding from the neck through some sort of puncture hole but you have no idea what the hell happened you don’t see anybody there’s danger all around you but you don’t know where the hell it is that’s terrifying.
You should check out Grave of the Fireflies, Japanese anime from 1988..
Oh, BALTO is another great one
There is no plot or story its just Disney flexing its artistic skills and ability.
Can u PLEASE do coraline. Its a classic
Great movie, though it definitely gives us hunters a bad rep. I personally never shoot a doe if she has a fawn with her, as for shooting fawns, that'll land you in prison.
To be fair Bambi's mom didn't had him with her, he was hiding
i mean.. .. you do kill things for sport, not exactly hard for them to misrepresent. :p
@@Raindropfurry Not a hunter personally, but I was always told if they didn't hunt then you run the risk of overpopulation and the deers starving to death. It becomes a delicate balance and that's why there's seasons and limits to hunt. Plus not everyone hunts for a trophy sport some people just like deer meat. Its not my thing, but I don't have the resentment that some people have toward it especially since most people are meat eaters. i also want to point out that a lot of hunters are also conservationists because they understand the importance of nature. I still don't like seeing taxidermy or wasteful trophy hunting, but I have less issue as long as they don't waste their kill and don't over hunt.
@@wdbisl well said- i appreciate your perspective!!
Bambi doesn't have a plot. It's just following a little baby deer as he grows up. The original book was not just called Bambi; it was Bambi: A Life In The Woods.
Something that you should know is that by the time there is snow on the ground Bambi would have been about half the size of his mother and his newborn spots would be gone. If Bambi was that small with snow he would have been coyote food.
13:20 Animals have a much better sense of smell and evacuate the area a lot better then humans do I would say 10 or less animals died in that fire.
Tell that to the animals that died in fire in Australia. Seriously, look it up.
@@BlackavarWD Australia's a different story. Australia has a lot less rivers and lakes then North America and it is a lot dryer and hotter then North America.
If you look at the movie Bambi it clearly takes place in North America and the fire in the film is much smaller then the one we saw in Australia.
@@dljprogun
All fires are small when they START.
You were trying to say that animals smell it and "evacuate." I just pointed out that this is *not true.*
Who is your favorite bambi character?
Need to watch the Secret of nim
I kinda like rodents as well especially chipmunks and chinchillas.
I’ve always wanted to see what an artist thought about this movie. Like, slow plot aside, it is still one of the most beautifully animated movies ever.
That moment you realize...
Bambi will most likely, eventually, die of lead poisoning from the bullet.
"I've never seen bambi!" Damn so you /don't/ have five year old trauma?
Can u react to avatar the last airbender. Its so beautiful in terms of art, culture and story telling
Please react to Bambi 2
Why do you skip thumper? He is my favorite character. Cashmere watches 😭🤬
I think Flower is supposed to be a boy. Flower gets “twitterpated” by a skunk with big eyelashes.
