At first Bambi is an unsure little deer, hanging with his friends, but then as winter comes to pass, and the friends in the forest grow up, wouldn’t you know it but love enters the picture, too.
#THUMPER BAMBI SCREEN TIME MOVIE#
The movie opens with introductory scenes of the animal “friends” Bambi will have growing up, and then, there’s Bambi, a newborn, with his mom. The story is simple: It’s the story of a young deer, Bambi, and the intrusion of man on nature. I guess I’ll start with the story before I get to what might be the most feature-packed Blu-ray I’ve ever seen. With that, it was with some anticipation as I plopped myself on the couch to watch “Bambi,” and yes, this movie probably isn’t geared for me, and yes, it wasn’t even exciting for my wife, but I can see its place in movie history, and as a parent, you’re going to have to be the one to judge because, as kids seem to get older quicker, I’m thinking “Bambi” is almost skewing itself to the 3 to 4 year olds, although, with the interactive Disney Second Screen feature, your 5 year old with their iPad might enjoy learning a whole boat-load of stuff about Disney animation. I don’t think it’s because I had bad parents, because I vaguely remember seeing Pinocchio, but I think it was more because when I was growing up, before the time of video, Disney would stagger re-releases into the theater, and I was 8 years old by the time it came out again in 1975. I don’t remember ever seeing “Bambi” when I was a youngin’. It will take “Bambi” from a dated 1940’s animated movie into the 2010’s. There is some basic stuff, some deleted scene stuff, and some games for the kids, but for total coolness bust out your iPad or computer and sync things up using the Second Screen feature. There is some peril, but nothing gratuitous. If you’re watching it as a family, or she’s a Disney fanatic. Bambi, Thumper, Flower, and all of Bambi’s friends.
