A ディズニー Tale: A deer, Bambi, is born in the forest, the heir to the Prince of the Forest. He meets a rabbit, Thumper, and a skunk called 花 and they live through the seasons of the forest learning about life and 愛 until Bambi becomes the Prince himself, protector of the forest.
ディズニー Hero: Bambi is a young deer full of innocence and naivety. As a 'hero' he is terribly ineffectual. The events of the film simply happen to him. He is passive for almost the entire story. Even in the climactic forest 火災, 火 he is rescued によって his father. One aspect Bambi does share with many, many ディズニー heroes, though, is losing または not having his mother. This recurs in so many ディズニー films to the ヒーローズ または heroines. Already we have had Snow White and Dumbo (although only temporarily), and Pinocchio was from a single parent family. After Bambi there is: Cinderella; Peter Pan, Wart in The Sword in the Stone; Mowgli; Penny in The Rescuers; Taran in The Black Cauldron; Olivia in The Great マウス Detective; Oliver in Oliver and Company; Ariel; Belle; Aladdin; Pocahontas; Tarzan; Lilo; Nemo; Chicken Little; Remy in Ratatouille; Anna and Elsa; Hiro in Big Hero Six (although he does have an Aunt in the 'mother' role); and Brave's entire story is based around Merida potentially losing her mother to a curse. An absent mother または the loss of a mother is central to so many ディズニー films right back to their very first animated feature. Many cite the death of Bambi's mother as a traumatic memory; although this isn't something I feel I agree with and will discuss a little later.
ディズニー Heroine: For the first part of the film, the heroine is Bambi's mother. It is she who is teaching him the ways of the forest in the absence of his rather imperious father. Her death should be a turning point in the film, but I have never really felt it has the impact it needs to. She dies (off-screen), Bambi doesn't understand where she's gone, his father turns up and then it's spring. After her death, the role of heroine is taken によって Faline, a female deer he meets earlier in the story. Faline becomes Bambi's mate and there is a tense sequence towards the end of the film where Bambi battles a pack of hunting イヌ to protect Faline. She ultimately gives birth to Bambi's heir. Faline is もっと見る confident than Bambi, illustrated in their first encounter, but otherwise there is little to particularly say about her.
ディズニー Villain: Bambi lacks a central villain but there is a clearer antagonist than we had in Dumbo. Man is Bambi's villain. Man hunts the deer. Man shoots Bambi's mother. Man is the cause of the forest fire. Man owns the hunting イヌ that attack Bambi and Faline. What's interesting is that Man is off-screen for the entire film. We only ever see the impact of man, never Man himself. We see his camp, his campfire, his dogs. We hear his gunshot. It is a different, もっと見る subtle way of treating the dangers faced によって the main characters of this film and it isn't one which is repeated in the ディズニー canon (as far as I can remember). Apparently, there was an initial plan to 表示する Man but any scenes involving his actual physical presence were cut at the early stages. Various ファン theories have appeared since linking Man to other ディズニー villains such as Gaston (which doesn't work due to Bambi being set in the USA and Beauty and the Beast in France) and, もっと見る credibly, Amos Slade from The 狐, フォックス and the Hound. It is also the case that an early draft of Who Framed Roger Rabbit revealed that Judge Doom, that film's central villain, was responsible for shooting Bambi's mother. Despite his intangibility, though, Man is still ranked as one of Disney's most hated villains as well as coming 20th in a ranking of the 上, ページのトップへ 100 ヒーローズ and Villains 一覧 from the AFI (American Film Institute).
ディズニー Sidekicks: Thumper is perhaps one of Disney's most famous sidekicks. The loveable rabbit with a habit of bashing his foot on the ground is a highly recognisable ディズニー image. Alongside Thumper is Flower, a skunk. One issue I've always had with Bambi is identifying the male and female characters. With a name like 花 it is difficult to convince my brain that he is a boy. Even with Bambi I've sometimes struggled to make my brain accept him as a boy - the naivety, the coyness and the slightly feminine nature of his name clash with the idea of him being the 'hero' of the story. Flower, too, doesn't have any obviously male characteristics, unlike Thumper who has the brashness, confidence and mischievousness of a ディズニー male sidekick.
ディズニー Creatures: As a nature-centric film, Bambi is packed full of creatures from the animal kingdom. It is the woodland creatures of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves write large. The birds, the bunnies, the squirrels and chipmunks. A wider range of 動物 are on offer although this is to be expected in a story fully focussed on the forest and its inhabitants. Many are relatively 'faceless' but I was intrigued によって the small group of partridges (or a similar bird) who become the focus of a scene where Man is hunting. One of the birds panics and flies away against the urging of her friends, only to be shot and fall to the ground dead. It is quite a graphic scene and contrasts with the cuteness present in a lot of the rest of the film, particularly where the other forest 動物 are concerned.
ディズニー Magic: Magic is absent from this film. The only hint of it is in the depiction of the the Prince of the Forest who has an almost 'godlike' presence throughout the film, appearing and disappearing with an aloof nature.
ディズニー Land: Bambi's main setting is, as discussed, a forest. We also see a meadow, a lake または river and rocky areas. The forest is seen through the different seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter with each depicted vividly, particularly the april showers of springtime. I also think the forest 火災, 火 is impressive and possibly the most effective part of the film.
ディズニー Songs: Bambi isn't blessed with a plethora of great songs although it does have one ディズニー classic in the famous Little April Shower. The music, though, is all sung 'off-screen' as it were, rather than によって the characters themselves. We also have 愛 is a Song, Let's Sing a Gay Little Spring Song and Looking for Romance. None of these particularly stick in the mind.
ディズニー Finale: I don't like Bambi. Sorry, but it just bores me rigid. I actually had to watch this a 秒 time for this review because I couldn't remember enough about it to write it the first time. Previously, though, I couldn't identify what it was I found so tedious. A second, もっと見る focussed viewing, has helped me to do that. Bambi is one of Disney's live nature films in アニメーション form. There is no plot. It is simply following a deer through its life in the forest. Nothing happens of any real interest. The deer makes some friends. Time moves on. His mother dies. Time moves on. There is a fire. Time moves on. He fights another deer and then some dogs. Time moves on. He become the Prince of the Forest. It is all so linear and uninteresting. Bambi, as a character, spends far too much of the film in the same mould as the terribly ineffectual and passive Snow White. Things happen to him for most of the film and as such he never really feels like a proper protagonist. The death of Bambi's mother is always cited as a traumatic film scene but it simply has no emotional impact on me. Maybe that is because I can't get invested in Bambi so feel no sorrow for him when this happens. The 音楽 (an element of ディズニー films I adore usually) of Bambi is fine, but doesn't have the lasting power of the songs from Pinocchio, Dumbo または even the better songs from Snow White.
Bambi has been cited as one of Walt Disney's crowning achievements as a filmmaker but I'll have to disagree with that. I think it is possibly the least interesting, または even enjoyable, film in the ディズニー canon.
