Disney’s Bambi Trailer
In a classic Disney animation, a fawn named Bambi joins his new friends, a young rabbit named Thumper and a skunk named Flower in happily exploring the woods. Bambi is captivated with a young doe named Faline, and he learns from his doting mother and his father — the Great Prince of the Forest — that besides the delights of the forest, there is danger in open meadows where hunters can see them. Though fear and tragedy touch Bambi’s life, another spring brings renewal.
Bambi is one of those all time classics that will never go out of style. Do you remember watching Bambi when you were a child? Now we can share it with our children. Bambi will live on from generation to generation.
Bambi is one of my all time favorites with lovable characters and a story of love and loss. We cry along with Bambi when he loses his mother and then fall in love with these adorable woodland creatures.
You won’t want to miss all of the bonus content included in the Anniversary Edition. From deleted scenes to facts and behind the scenes material.
