The bogus art which has been creeping into the Disney pictures is really hammered at you in this one.

Decent Films

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

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.

The film’s final shot is one of the most striking and beautiful moments in animated film history.

Disney starts to reach for a higher thesis but ultimately falls short, they will eventually find the nuance they clearly were looking for here in future films, but sadly Bambi just starts to scratch the surface of what they were ultimately looking for.

Even though Bambi is sanitized for a younger audience, the film itself is still one of the best animated movies of all time.

O filme não tem história, apenas tem história nos últimos minutos de filme. Um filme nada infantil, apenas com cenas sem graça

I seriously don't understand how anyone could possibly go deer hunting after watching this movie. In my mind, the death of Bambi's mother remains the single most disturbing event ever portrayed in a Disney animated film. In fact, watching it for the first time in decades this weekend, I spent the first half of the movie with a knot in my stomach counting down the minutes till the fateful event occurred. Actually, the first half of this movie is pretty much perfect - among the best Disney has offered. Unfortunately, the film loses a bit of momentum once Bambi grows up and his hormones start raging. Bambi is a much more interesting character as a wobbly fawn than an antler-yielding buck. Thankfully, a beautiful circle of life ending leaves things on a high note. Overall, it's a beautiful, surprisingly moving film, but just not quite the masterpiece I remembered it being as a child. And what was the first thing I said to myself as THE END flashed across the screen? "Boy, humans suck!"

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I haven't watched Bambi since I was a kid and I actually really enjoyed it. It's one of the most beautifully animated Disney movies and has such a charm to it. It's the perfect runtime too, it doesn't drag. It's not one of the more exciting watches but is still a very enjoyable watch. It's a sad yet charming classic that still holds up.
