Summary
From the film's 1942 premiere to the 1989 videotape， this book looks at the paintings， sketches and film cells。 It illustrates the heralding of Bambi's birth， Thumper's friendship， Bambi's mother's death and how a stronger and wiser Bambi lives to become the Prince of the Forest。 This coming of age tale captures the innocence of childhood and the painful yet fantastic thrill of youthfull discovery。 To complement the story， Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas， the two Disney animators who worked on the film， give an account of the creative struggles and victories that followed the start of the Bambi project in 1936。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Another very good book giving insight into the production of a classic Disney animated film。 What makes this one particularly insightful is that the text was written by two of the key animators on Bambi （Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas）。 It is fascinating reading about the trials and tribulations which came with making the film and how they flushed out issues with plot and animation。 Although lost to the past， I am now very curious to see how the originally-intended cut of close to 2 hours would Another very good book giving insight into the production of a classic Disney animated film。 What makes this one particularly insightful is that the text was written by two of the key animators on Bambi （Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas）。 It is fascinating reading about the trials and tribulations which came with making the film and how they flushed out issues with plot and animation。 Although lost to the past， I am now very curious to see how the originally-intended cut of close to 2 hours would have looked。 Eliminating a third of the film clearly made economic sense at the time seeing the company’s financial situation but one can now only wonder what it would have added to the film。 I presume it would have bored children but also added some poetic scenes and majestic landscapes from Ty Wong。 。。。more

This is definitely one of the best 'making of' books I've read， and a must-have for anyone interested not only in the film， but also in just how Disney functioned as a studio when it was first starting out。 "Bambi" was in production for a long seven years， and each one is documented here。 The art and explanations for many of the techniques are quite incredible， and the interviews with Walt himself really showcase his talents as a natural storyteller and businessman。My only complaint， and it's a This is definitely one of the best 'making of' books I've read， and a must-have for anyone interested not only in the film， but also in just how Disney functioned as a studio when it was first starting out。 "Bambi" was in production for a long seven years， and each one is documented here。 The art and explanations for many of the techniques are quite incredible， and the interviews with Walt himself really showcase his talents as a natural storyteller and businessman。My only complaint， and it's a minor one， is that I wish that the third section （with the concept art） had been longer。 。。。more

This was fantastic！ I learned so much from this book about the film that I didn't know already， and the fect that it was written by two of my favourite animators was just a big bonus :） I loved getting further back story on the strike， the art direction and how the artists overcame the difficulties of drawing these anatomically/beautifully done animals。 This was fantastic！ I learned so much from this book about the film that I didn't know already， and the fect that it was written by two of my favourite animators was just a big bonus :） I loved getting further back story on the strike， the art direction and how the artists overcame the difficulties of drawing these anatomically/beautifully done animals。 。。。more
