My lovest book
I like all the characters in this story but the dearest one is Bambi. When I was little, I asked my mom many times to read the story. Then when I grew up I read it by myself. But I liked it very much because the story is about a baby deer. It's very funny when Thumper thumped. The moment when Bambi met Faline was so touching! When Bambi and Faline were grown up it was their turn to have babies. I warmly recommend the other kids to read this sensitive book.

Great Book
This book shows anyone all aspects of things that kids can know with out knowing too much that sad things happen all the time and people are brought up to be protected from that now we must let them know

"Senseless Acts of Violence"? Please!
In response to the person who wrote the review titled, "Senseless Acts of Violence Against Deer Provoke Anger", you are crazy. Yes, there is some violence that the youngest of children should not see. However, even my 3 year old was able to grasp that bad things happen, and that we must learn to move on. The story of Bambi is a true to life story, and is not some exploiting of 'poor, innocent' animals at all. There are also lessons to be learned about 'Hunter-oriented values' - which are not necissarily evil. Some people hunt to eat, and to live. When hunting is done in the right spirit, and not simply for sport, it can be a very good thing. I was able to teach my daughter all of this, and she is better for it, because of it.

BAMBI
WHAT A GREAT BOOK !, MY 4 YEAROLD ATTENDED PRESCHOOL THIS YEAR AND THIS WAS ONE OF THE BOOKS IN THE ROOM, EVERYDAY WHEN I CAME TO PICK HER UP SHE WOULD BE LOOKING AT THE BOOK, NOT THINKING SHE MIGHT REALLY BEABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE BOOK I RENTED THE MOVIE, UPOND HER WATCHING THE MOVIE SHE NOW WANTED THE BOOK, I ASKED A FREIND TO LOAN ME THE BOOK FOR A FEW DAYS TO SEE IF SHE WOULD STILL WANT IT AT HOME AND NEEDLESS TO SSAY SHE DID, SHE WOULD BRING THE BOOK TO ME AND WELL WE ALL KNOW SHE COULDNT READ THE WORDS, BUT SHE DID TELL ME THE STORY AS SHE KNEW THE BOOK WHEN SHE WAS IN SCHOOL. I WOULD ENCOURGE EVERY PARENT TO BUY THE BOOK AND READ IT TO THE ONES THAT CANNT READ AND LET THE ONES THAT CAN READ IT FOR THEMSELFS. I'M VEERY PLEASED TO SEE THIS BOOK HERE AT AMAZON.COM. I RATE THIS BOOK WITH 5 + STARS. BELIVE ME LIFE WASNT THE SAME AFTER THE BOOK WAS GIVEN BACK TO MY FREIND, TILL I WENT TO GET MY DAUGHTER HER VERY OWN... NINA

Senseless Acts of Violence Against Deer Provoke Anger.
I was appalled at the horrific and cruel death of the mother deer in Bambi. I find it in poor taste to exploit poor, innocent, animals in this way. It is a disgrace to show these Hunter-oriented values to young children. People wonder why children think it's alright to be violent with classmates and friends. Well, I blame Walt Disney himself. It is no coincidence that all of his movies contain senseless acts of violence. It is the Disney corporation's plan to corrupt the minds of America's young people. I, for one, will not stand for it! ... Read more

Great book for art lovers!
I'm 13 and I love drawing. I have been a Bambi/Disney fan for quite a while, so I bought this book. In a few days, I could draw a excellent Bambi. Step-by-step pictures make it easy to learn to draw Bambi by using circles, ovals and other basic shapes. It covers the main characters like Bambi, Thumper, Friend Owl, Flower, and also includes secondary characters such as The Great Prince, Faline, and many of the little forest animals. In the front it has a few pages that tell about the movie. I would recommend this book anytime!

Great book for fledgling artists.
Like the other "How to Draw" Disney books, this one gives you a great overview of the key characters in classic poses. The basic drawing tips are also useful for new artists. ... Read more

a fantastic movie for youngest and oldest
I have seen Bambi plenty times and loved it each time more - and I am a man with an age of 27 - It is already a quiet old movie and the technics to produce such movies today are much better but this do not reduce the charm and lovelyness of this movie. I would advice every parents to get it for its childs. It is a classic Walt Disney movie and one of the best they ever made. ... Read more

Bambi
Bambi is a nice drama of real life. It states how life goes. It shows that sometimes you have to go on without your parents that they wont always be there. It also states that your friends & loved one's can be there to lean on & help you get on your feet again. If you're looking for a good book to explain life to kids then this is it. It is a good book to start conversations about life to little kids as well.

Disney's Sketchbooks - Great Resource for Artists!
This fine addition to the Disney Sketchbook series has many of the wonderful sketches done by Disney's animation department for Bambi, including many pieces from the storyboards, and several sketches of scenes that never made it into the final film. Artists that would like to study the Disney style of drawing and animation should find this volume a terrific addition to their collection despite its rather high price. As a student of art, and a fan of the Disney style, I highly recommend any of these books for your library.

A Fine Idea - Now Let's Have One For 'Beauty and the Beast'!
I have browsed a copy of this book in an animation gallery and was impressed by the work within - certainly a marvellous way to explore the drawings that make up these films.

Let's hope Disney continue this series and quickly release Glen Keane's awesome character sketches and pencil development from 'Beauty and the Beast'! That is what I'm *really* waiting for!

Exquisite!
Unfortunately this book is out of print, and also I am writing a review under the 100.00 dollar version, which I dont own - incidentally I believe that version is signed by the two authors Johnston and Thomas. Moving on, this book demonstrates the beauty, skill and patience of the artists that worked on the film Bambi. It also shows their accuracy for realism as well as sensitivity to nature and the subject as a whole. Nothing to read here, but looking through the pictures and being in awe at the sheer beauty of these drawings, it would equal the time one would take to read an epic poem. I treasure this book for Bambi and the artwork has always held a special place for me as I am always inspired when I look at the delicate nature of the pencil lines in Bambi's neck and eyes, and his fragile legs. So innocent and pure which is the child in me that likes to come out and play. There is no finished work here, only pencil sketches of the characters Bambi, Feline, Flower, Thumper, and many others. Highly reccomended for the animation lover, as well as the animator whom will find it a great reference.

An Invaluable Tool for Animators
This book is a fascinating and invaluable resource for the aspiring (or accomplished) animator. It is truly a gift that these tools (the Walt Disney Sketchbook series) exist as an opportunity to study the architecture and the construction of such classic animation as "Bambi." It is amazing to me to see how beautiful these images are up close and in depth. As an animation student, this publication is everything I could hope for as a resource for gaining insight into character development and expression, and the intricate craft of animation. ...
