Bambiis a 1942 American animated drama film directed byDavid Hand(supervising a team of sequence directors), produced byWalt Disneyand based on the bookBambi, A Life in the Woodsby Austrian authorFelix Salten. The film was released byRKO Radio Pictureson August 13, 1942, and is the fifthDisney animated feature film.The main characters areBambi, awhite-tailed deer, his parents (the Great Prince of the forest and his unnamed mother), his friendsThumper(a pink-nosed rabbit), and Flower (askunk), and his childhood friend and future mate,Faline. For the movie, Disney took the liberty of changing Bambi\'s species into awhite-tailed deerfrom his original species ofroe deer, since roe deer are not native to North America, and the white-tailed deer is more widespread in the United States. The film received threeAcademy Awardnominations:Best Sound(Sam Slyfield),Best Song(for \"Love Is a Song\" sung byDonald Novis) andOriginal Music Score.[4]In June 2008, theAmerican Film Institutepresented a list of its \"10 Top 10\"—the best ten films in each of ten classic American film genres—after polling over 1,500 people from the creative community.Bambiplaced third in animation.[5]In December 2011, the film was added to theNational Film Registryof theLibrary of Congress.Contents[hide]1 Plot2 Cast2.1 Notes3 Production3.1 Development3.2 Writing3.3 Animation4 Release5 Reception6 Legacy6.1 American Film Institute7 Sequel8 Copyrights9 References10 Further reading11 External linksPlotA doe gives birth to a fawn named Bambi, who will one day take over the position of Great Prince of the Forest, a title currently held by Bambi\'s father, who guards the woodland creatures from the dangers of hunters. The fawn is quickly befriended by an eager, energetic rabbit namedThumper, who helps to teach him to walk and speak. Bambi grows up very attached to his mother, with whom he spends most of his time. He soon makes other friends, including a young skunk named Flower and a female fawn namedFaline. Curious and inquisitive, Bambi frequently asks about the world around him and is cautioned about the dangers of life as a forest creature by his loving mother. One day out in a meadow, Bambi briefly sees The Great Prince but does not realize that he is his father. As the great prince wanders uphill, he discovers the human hunter named \"Man\" by all the animals is coming and rushes down to the meadow to get everyone to safety. Bambi is briefly separated from his mother during that scene but is escorted to her by the Great Prince as the three of them make it back in the forest just as Man fires his gun.During Bambi\'s first winter, he and Thumper play in the snow while Flower hibernates. One day his mother takes him along to find food, when Man shows up again. As they escape his mother is shot and killed by the hunter, leaving the little fawn mournful and alone. Taking pity on his abandoned son, the Great Prince leads Bambi home as he reveals to him that he is his father. Years later, Bambi has matured into a young stag, and his childhood friends have entered young adulthood as well. They are warned of \"twitterpation\" by Friend Owl and that they will eventually fall in love, although the trio view the concept of romance with scorn. However, Thumper and Flower soon both encounter their beautiful romantic counterparts and abandon their former thoughts on love. Bambi himself encounters Faline as a beautiful doe. However, their courtship is quickly interrupted and challenged by a belligerent older stag named Ronno, who attempts to force Faline away from Bambi. Bambi successfully manages to defeat Ronno in battle and earn the rights to the doe\'s affections.Bambi is awakened shortly afterward by the smell of smoke, he follows it and discovers it leads to a hunter camp. Bambi is warned by his father that Man has returned with more hunters. The two flee to safety, although Bambi is separated from Faline in the turmoil and searches for her along the way. He soon finds her cornered by Man\'s vicious hunting dogs, which he manages to ward off. Bambi, his father, Faline, and the forest animals manage to reach shelter on ariverbank. The following spring, Faline gives birth to twins under Bambi\'s watchful eye as the new Great Prince of the Forest.CastBambi, the film\'s title character and protagonist:Bobby Stewart as Baby Bamofferonnie Dunaganas Young BambiHardie Albrightas Adolescent BambiJohn Sutherlandas Young Adult Bambi[1]Thumper, a friend of Bambi\'s:Peter Behnas Young ThumperTim Davis as Adolescent ThumperSam Edwardsas Young Adult ThumperPaula Winsloweas Bambi\'s Mother and the PheasantFlower, astriped skunkand another friend of Bambi\'s:Stan Alexander as Young FlowerTim Davis as Adolescent FlowerSterling Hollowayas Young Adult FlowerWill Wrightas Friend OwlFaline, a female deer whom Bambi eventually falls in love with:Cammie Kingas Young FalineAnn Gillisas Young Adult FalineFred Shields as Great Prince of the ForestMargaret Lee as Mrs. RabbitMary Lansing as Aunt Ena and Mrs. PossumOtis Harlanas Mr. MoleNotes^Sources differ on whether Sutherland actually voiced Young Adult Bambi.[6]^This was Otis Harlan\'s final film role: He died two years prior to the film\'s release.ProductionDevelopmentIn 1933,Sidney Franklin, a producer and director atMetro-Goldwyn-Mayer, purchased the film rights toFelix Salten\'s novelBambi, A Life in the Woods, intending to adapt it as a live-action film. After years of experimentation, he eventually decided that it would be too difficult to make such a film and he sold the film rights toWalt Disneyin April 1937.[7]Disney began work on crafting an animated adaptation immediately, intending it to be the company\'s second feature-length animated film and their first to be based on a specific, recent work.[7]However, the original novel was written for an adult audience, and was considered too \"grim\" and \"somber\" for a regular light-hearted Disney film.[7]The artists also discovered that it would be challenging to animate deer realistically.[8]These difficulties resulted in Disney putting production on hold while the studio worked on several other projects.[7]In 1938, Disney assigned Perce Pearce and Carl Fallberg to work on the film\'s storyboards, but attention was soon drawn away as the studio began working onFantasia.[7]Finally, on August 17, 1939, production onBambibegan in earnest, though progressed slowly owing to changes in the studio personnel, location, and methodology of handling animation at the time.[7]WritingThere were many interpretations of the story. AsMel Shawclaimed“ The story ofBambihad a so many possibilities, you could go off on a million tangents. I remember one situation when Walt became involved with himself. He said \'Suppose we have Bambi step on an ant hill and we cut inside and see all the damage he\'s done to the ant civilization\'. We spent weeks and weeks developing the ants, and then all of a sudden we decided, you know, we\'re way off the story, this has got nothing to do with the story ofBambi. We also had a family of grasshoppers, and they get into a family squabble of this or that, and Bambi is watching all of this, and here\'s the big head of Bambi in the grasshoppers. And what\'s that got to do with the story, and this would go on many times.[8] ”Originally the film was intended to have six individual bunny characters, similar to the dwarfs inSnow White. However Perce Pearce suggested that they could instead have five generic rabbits and one rabbit with a different color than the rest, with one tooth, would have a very distinct personality.[9]This character later became known as Thumper.There originally was a brief shot in the scene where Bambi\'s mother dies of her jumping over a log and getting shot by man. Larry Morey, however, felt the scene was too dramatic, and that it was emotional enough to justify having her death occurring off screen.[8][9]Walt Disney was also eager to show man burned to death by his fire that he inadvertently started, but this was discarded when it was decided not to show man at all.[8]There was also a scene involving two autumn leaves conversing like an old married couple before parting ways and falling to the ground, but Disney found that talking flora didn\'t work in the context of the film, and instead a visual metaphor of two realistic leaves falling to the ground was used instead.[9]Disney and his story team also developed the characters consisting of a squirrel and a chipmunk that were to be a comic duo reminiscent ofLaurel and Hardy. However, after years of experimentation, Walt felt that the story should focus on the three principal characters: Bambi, Thumper and Flower.[9]The squirrel and chipmunk make only brief appearances in the final film.The writing was completed in July 1940, by which time the film\'s budget had increased to $858,000.[7]AnimationAlthough the animators had animated deer inSnow White, they were animated, in the words ofEric Larson, \"like big flour sacks\".[8]Disney wanted the animals inBambito be more realistic and expressive than those inSnow White. He had Rico LeBrun, a painter of animals, come and lecture to the animators on the structure and movement of animals.[10]The animators visited theLos Angeles Zooand Disney set up a small zoo at the studio with animals such as rabbits, ducks, owls, and skunks, and a pair of fawns named Bambi and Faline so that the artists could see first-hand the movement of these animals.[9][10][11]Rico LeBurn\'s sketches depicted realistic animals, but as characters they lacked personality.Marc Daviscreated the final design of Bambi by incorporating LeBurn\'s realistic study of deer anatomy but exaggerating the character\'s face by making his proportions baby-like (short snout, big eyes, etc.).[8]Although there were no humans inBambi, live-action footage of humans was used for one scene: actressJane RandolphandIce CapadesstarDonna Atwoodacted as live-action references for the scene where Bambi and Thumper are on the icy pond.[12]The animators learned a lot about animals during the film\'s production, giving them a broader spectrum of animation styles to use in future projects.[13]The backgrounds for the film were inspired by the Eastern American woodlands. One of the earliest and best-known artists for the Disney studio, Maurice \"Jake\" Day, spent several weeks in the Vermont and Maine forests, sketching and photographing deer, fawns, and the surrounding wilderness areas.[14]However his first sketches were too \"busy\" as the eye did not know where to focus.[8]Tyrus Wong, a Chinese animator, showed Day some of his impressionistic paintings of a forest. Day liked the paintings and appointed him art director of the film.[8]Wong\'s backgrounds were revolutionary since they had more detail around the center and less around the edges, thus leading a viewer\'s eye to the characters.[9]Due toWorld War II, which began in Europe in 1939,PinocchioandFantasiafailed at the box office. Facing financial difficulty, Disney was forced to cut 12 minutes from the film before final animation to save production costs.[7]ReleaseBambiwas released in theaters in 1942, duringWorld War II, and was Disney\'s 5th full-length animated film. The film was re-released to theatres in 1947, 1957, 1966, 1975, 1982, and 1988. It was then made available on home video in 1989. Even in home video, it has seen multiple releases, including two VHS releases — in 1989 (Classics Version) and 1997 (Masterpiece Collection Version) — and most recently a digitally-remastered and restoredPlatinum EditionDVD.[15]The Platinum Edition DVD went onmoratoriumon January 31, 2007.[16]Bambi was released inDiamond Editionon March 1, 2011,[17]consisting of aBlu-rayand DVD combo pack. According to Cinema Blend, this release is set to include multiple bonus features that were not previously included in Bambi home releases: a documentary entitledInside Walt’s Story Meetings– Enhanced Edition, two deleted scenes, a deleted song, an image gallery, and a game entitledDisney’s Big Book of Knowledge: Bambi Edition.[18]The release will also mark the first use of \"Disney Second Screen\",[19]a feature which is accessed via a computer oriPadapp download that syncs with the Blu-ray disc,[20]allowing the viewer to follow along by interacting with animated flip-books, galleries and trivia while watching the movie.[17]A UK version of Diamond Edition was released on February 7, 2011.[21]ReceptionBambilost money at the box office for its first release; out of its $1.7 million budget, it only grossed back $1.64 million.[22][23]The film was released duringWorld War IIand lacked access to much of the European market.[24]Roy Disneysent a telegram to his brother Walt after the New York opening of the film that read: \"Fell short of our holdover figure by $4,000. Just came from Music Hall. Unable to make any deal to stay third week ... Night business is our problem.\"[24]At the time of the film\'s release,Bambireceived mixed reviews from the critics, mainly because of the lack of fantasy elements in the film and objection towards a dramatic story of animals and their struggle to survive in the woods and avoid the threat of humans.[25]Hunters spoke out against the movie, and in a 1942 edition of the magazineOutdoor Life, editor Raymond Brown wrote that the film was \"... the worst insult ever offered in any form to American sportsmen.\"[26]The New York Timesclaimed, \"In the search for perfection, Mr. Disney has come perilously close to tossing away his whole world of cartoon fantasy.\"[25]Film criticManny Farbercalled it \"... entirely unpleasant ...\" and agreed withThe New York Timesstatement saying, \"In an effort to trump the realism of flesh and blood movies, he [Disney] has given up fantasy, which was pretty much the magic element\".[25]Even Disney\'s daughterDianecomplained, saying that Bambi\'s mother didn\'t need to die. When Walt claimed that he was only following the book, Diane protested, saying that he had taken other liberties before and that Walt Disney could do whatever he wanted.[25]Today, however,Bambiis viewed as a classic and recouped a considerable amount during the 1947 re-release and subsequent re-issues.[24]The film holds a 91% \"Fresh\" rating from critics onRotten Tomatoes.[27]Critics Mick Martin and Marsha Porter call the film \"the crowning achievement of Walt Disney\'s animation studio\".[28]English film historianLeslie Halliwellwrote thatBambiwas \"one of Disney\'s most memorable and brilliant achievements with a great comic character in Thumper and a climactic forest fire sequence that is genuinely thrilling\". He concluded that it was \"a triumph of the animator\'s arts.\"[29]In June 2008, theAmerican Film Instituterevealed its\"10 Top 10\"– the best ten films in ten classic American film genres– after polling over 1,500 people from the creative community.Bambiwas acknowledged as the third best film in the animation genre.[30]It is also listed in the Top 25 Horror Movies of all Time byTimemagazine.Bambi,Timestates, \"has a primal shock that still haunts oldsters who saw it 40, 50, 65 years ago.\"[31]LegacyThe off-screen villain \"Man\" has been placed No. 20 onAFI\'s List of Heroes and Villains.[32]Some critics have cited parallels between Frank Churchill\'s theme music for \"Man\" (which consisted of 3 simple notes) andJohn Williams\'s theme music inJaws(which consists of two notes).[33]Former BeatlePaul McCartneyhas credited the shooting death of Bambi\'s mother for his initial interest inanimal rights.[34]Soon after the film\'s release, Walt Disney allowed his characters to appear in fire prevention public service campaigns. However, Bambi was only loaned to the government for a year, so a new symbol was needed, leading to the creation ofSmokey Bear.[citation needed]Bambi and his mother also make a cameo appearance in the satirical 1955 Donald Duck shortNo Hunting: drinking from a forest stream, the deer are startled by a sudden trickle of beer cans and other debris, and Bambi\'s mother tells him, \"Man is in the forest. Let\'s dig out.\"In 2006, theAd Council, in partnership with theUnited States Forest Service, started a series ofPublic Service Announcementsthat feature footage fromBambiandBambi IIforwildfireprevention. During the ads, as theBambifootage is shown, the screen will momentarily fade into black with the text \"Don\'t let our forests...become once upon a time\", and usually (but not always) ending the ads with Bambi\'s line \"Mother, what we gonna do today?\" followed by Smokey Bear saying \"Only you can prevent wildfires\" as the Smokey logo is shown on the screen. The ads air on various television networks, and the Ad Council has also put them on YouTube.[35]In December 2011,Bambiwas among the films selected for preservation in the Library of Congress\' National Film Registry.[36]In its induction, the Registry said that the film was one of Walt Disney\'s favorites and that it has been \"recognized for its eloquent message of nature conservation.\"[37]American Film InstituteAFI\'s 100 Years... 100 Movies– NominatedAFI\'s 100 Years... 100 Heroes and Villains:Man– No. 20 VillainAFI\'s 100 Years of Film Scores– NominatedAFI\'s 100 Years... 100 Movies (10th Anniversary Edition)– NominatedAFI\'s 10 Top 10– No. 3 Animated filmSequelMain article:Bambi IISet in the middle ofBambi,Bambi IIshows the Great Prince of the Forest struggling to raise the motherless Bambi, and Bambi\'s doubts about his father\'s love.

While the film was a direct-to-video release in the United States and other countries, including Canada, China, Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan, it was a theatrical release in some countries, including Australia, Austria, Brazil, Dominican Republic, France, Mexico, the United Kingdom and some other European countries.[citation needed]CopyrightsThe copyrights forBambi, A Life in the Woodswere inherited by Anna Wyler, Salten\'s daughter, who renewed them in 1954. After her death, Wyler\'s husband sold the rights to Twin Books, a publishing company which subsequently filed alawsuitagainst Disney, claiming Disney owed it money for the continued licensing for the use of the book. Disney countered by claiming that Salten had published the story in 1923 without a copyright notice, thus it immediately entered into thepublic domain. Disney also argued that if the claimed 1923 publication date was accurate, then the copyright renewal filed in 1954 had been registered after the deadline and was thus invalid. The courts initially upheld Disney\'s view; however, in 1996, the Ninth Circuit Court reversed the decision on appeal.[38]
