From the film's 1942 premiere to the 1989 videotape, this book looks at the paintings, sketches and film cells. It illustrates the heralding of Bambi's birth, Thumper's friendship, Bambi's mother's death and how a stronger and wiser Bambi lives to become the Prince of the Forest. This coming of age tale captures the innocence of childhood and the painful yet fantastic thrill of youthfull discovery. To complement the story, Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas, the two Disney animators who worked on the film, give an account of the creative struggles and victories that followed the start of the Bambi project in 1936.

This review is from: Walt Disney's Bambi: The Story and the Film (Hardcover)
Without a doubt one of the finest film books that I have ever come upon! BAMBI: The Story And The Film by Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas is a treat to both eye and the mind. Using sketches, drawings and paintings created during the course of the film's making, along with insightful text by two of Bambi's artists, this book is a work of art in its own right. This book, along with the latest BAMBI DVD, would provide anyone interested with an appreciation of this film unlike any college course could. If you love this film like I do, you will throughly enjoy this now out-of-print book. HIGHEST RATING!

This review is from: Walt Disney's Bambi: The Story and the Film (Hardcover)
Not as HOT as The Illusion of Life, but a MUST-HAVE anyway, this book gives a thorough insight into the making of one of the greatest animated feature films ever, by the animators of Bambi and Thumper...

This review is from: Walt Disney's Bambi: The Story and the Film (Hardcover)
I wasn't aware of this title until just very recently, and I had collected almost all of the Art of titles. I liked it so much I bought two copies. The book is filled to the brim with sketches, drawings/paintings, film stills, publicity photos, and rich text on the making of this Disney classic. It's not as big as the Hyperion titles such as Tarzan or as wide as the later titles such as Monsters Inc., but I think the dimensions of this particular title make it a very durable book for the animation library and for the ages. Pick this one up before it's ridiculously expensive.
