Bambi Ratings & Reviews
The New Republic
Manny Farber
The bogus art which has been creeping into the Disney pictures is really hammered at you in this one.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
Feels so much more like an animation experiment than it does a movie.

It's not just Bambi's mother - I'll pause while you wipe that tear - but the film's revelation that idylls don't really exist.
IGN DVD
R.L. Shaffer
The story, while classic in nature, is a bit thin, but Bambi is a breathtaking, jaw-dropping showcase of the ingenuity and genius of Disney animators.
Groucho Reviews
Peter Canavese
It would be easy to be cynical about Bambi, the Walt Disney-produced film that launched a thousand anthropomorphic animal movies. But its pre-ironic simplicity has, in many ways, only improved with age. [Blu-ray]

Even Daryl Hall would have to admit this is one of the finest animated features committed to film, produced and packaged during Walt Disney's ballsiest years of control.

the animated film as pastoral poem, as beautiful a depiction of the natural world as one could imagine
Movie Metropolis
James Plath
Animation that couldn't seem more real, even if it were made today with motion-capture dots plastered all over a baby deer.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
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.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
One of the most timeless and universal coming-of-age films ever, Bambi ranks with the very greatest of Disney's classic masterpieces.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
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.
TIME Magazine
For the first time, Disney has done his backgrounds in oils instead of watercolors. The result is striking.
Variety

The glow and texture of the Disney brush reach new heights, especially in the treatment of a summer thunderstorm and a raging snowstorm.

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.
Boulder Weekly
Thomas Delapa
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.

Fawn-dly revered Disney classic.

What has been lost in the 60-plus years since its intial release is what a watershed work Bambi was for its time.

"Look, Ma! No fungus and no moss-syphilis!"
New York Times
Theodore Strauss
In colors that would surprise even the spectrum itself, Disney's cartoon craftsmen have re-created a woodland that shimmers and glows and darkens altogether magically.
