ambi is the wobbly legged fawn who will someday
inherit the title of "Great Prince of the Forest." For now, though,
he has his mother to teach him the secrets of survival, and his
pals, Thumper and Flower, to help him explore the secret of fun.
But, too soon, man's arrival in the forest will bring Bambi's
carefree days to a tragic end. If he's to endure the harsh winter,
he'll have to learn how to stand alone. Even then, it will only be
his first life challenge, as the coming spring heralds the new
dangers of finding and protecting a mate. More than Bambi's life,
the very survival of the forest could hang in the balance of the
young prince's courage. |

"Bambi" is based on a book published in 1928 by the Viennese author
Felix Salten. The naturalistic animation in "Bambi" was
significantly aided by a pair of four-month-old fawns sent to the
studio by Maine game wardens. Human models were also used for one
scene: Actress Jane Randolph and Ice Capades star Donna Atwood
acted as live-action references for Bambi and Thumper's
misadventure on ice. |
