SYNOPSIS

In Disney's legendary animated forest fable, a fawn named Bambi is born, and his mother is soon killed by a hunter.

Facts about

Animation from this film has been reused more often than animation from any other Disney film. Usually it is used as incidental animation of birds, leaves and the like. Only a few of the major characters have been reused. Bambi's mother, for example, appears in the very first shot of Beauty and the Beast, and is the quarry of both Kay in The Sword in the Stone and Shere Khan in The Jungle Book. Bambi and his mother fully appear then in The Rescuers.
Austrian writer Felix Salten (real name Siegmund Salzmann) - an insurance clerk who began to write out of boredom - got the inspiration for his novel during a trip to Italy when he became fascinated with the Italian word "bambino".
Unusually for the time, Walt Disney insisted on children providing the voices for the animals when they were young, instead of using adults mimicking youngsters.
