  1. Disney's Bambi (1942)@dlstudios2145d

    I gave a lot of grief to Dumbo for being a short that as stretched out to a full-length movie, but at the very least Dumbo felt like an actual story. Bambi is probably my least favorite Disney movie, and that is by and large because you don't get a full story. What you get is a string of highlights of the life of a dear named Bambi. From his childhood to being a father, you get to see all kinds of things in his life.

    The problem is absolutely none of them are interesting, and none of them feel like they hold any real weight. I am going to cut right to the most famous scene from this movie so.... spoilers if you somehow don't know about it already. There is a scene where Bambi's mother gets shot by a hunter. After this scene, Bambi's mother is never mentioned again, his personality doesn't seem to be affected, and Bambi never once things back on his mother for the rest of the story. It's weird to say this, but Disney is one of the oldest examples I know of a death that happens almost purely for the sake of shock while adding nothing to the story.

    What I think Disney was trying to do with Bambi was apply all the great animations they were capable of and rather than creating a spectacle they wanted to apply it to something far more simple and putting the focus on something else. The problem is they chose to use animation to portray the life of a dear, and as it turns out the life of a deer is actually incredibly dull.

    Another issue that comes along with this movie is the way the characters are portrayed. It's not that they are all incredibly uninteresting, which they definitely are, and that they don't have any meaningful character arcs, which they don't, it's that weird mix of trying to make them seem human by having them talk like humans and react like humans. But the things that happen are still distinctly animalistic. The part I want to draw attention too is when Bambi meets up with a deer he met as a child, and now she seems romantically interested in him. As soon as they meet up, a new deer shows up to claim her so he and Bambi do that whole fight with the horns to see who gets the girl. Were they just animals, sure it makes sense, but with how humanized the show tries to make them the whole thing just feels... awkward.

    I will say one part of the film I like is when the Owl is woken up by the happy birds singing and goes off on how all of this is stupid and he's getting out of there. I liked this part because I could relate to this own, I could feel his pain. This is all stupid, and I want to get out of there. This being my favorite part of the movie is not a good sign.

    In the end, it's a movie that is just stuff happening in the life of a dear. While the animation is great, it's not in service of anything interesting or grand like it had been in previous Disney movies. Nothing that happens feels like it has any real consequence, and as a result of these things you are left with a movie that doesn't have anything at all to offer.

  2. Movie review: Bambi@vickaboleyn2536d

    Author's note: The following review was published on Spanish language in July 14th, 2019. It may content spoilers.

    Who doesn' remember that adorable fawn that lived in a huge forest with his mother? Who doesn't  remember the rabbit that pounds its leg at an incredible speed ? Who doesn't  remember the timid skunk? Who doesn't remember that tragic scene that broke the hearts of many people in theaters and on television?

    Bambi is a Disney animated classic, one of the first to be animated in color along with Snow White. Loosely based on the book by Austrian author Felix Salten*, the film narrates the childhood, adolescence and adulthood of a deer, Bambi. He was the only son of the Great Prince of the Forest, a very majestic deer that watches things go well in the forest, and is friend of the rabbit Thumper and the skunk Flower.

    I remember that I used to watch it in the living room of my grandarents' home when I was a little girl; along with Pinocchio, it was one of my favorite films. Now that I have watched it again in adulthood, I have a better understood about the variety of themes that are subtly addressed throughout the film, from the role of the motherly figure as a transmitter of values such as friendship and respect towards others, to the dangers of unregulated hunting.

    One aspect that I would like to point out is the symbolism of the crow and man. We don't see the latter; we do not even know how is he. We only know about him because of the crows that circle over him. In popular culture, the crow is a symbol of evil, death and betrayal; this reference is very well represented in the scene of the Great Prince of the Forest listening for the first time to the croaking of the animal. We can see how the animal tenses immediately when it realizes that death could be closer than he previously thought. However, death often arrives unannounced, so the victim has to use his instinct; the death of Bambi's mother is a sample that animals, in the absence of crows, perceive the presence of the enemy.

    I would recommend this film as ideal for children from 10 years old; the film could be used as an element of teaching about environmental care or to raise awareness (as they happen in some cases) about poaching.

  3. Reseña fílmica XXXVIII: Bambi (1942)@vickaboleyn2541d

    Ojo: Puede contener spoilers

    Fuente: Casa del Libro

    ¿Quién no se acuerda de aquél adorable cervatillo que vivía en un enorme bosque con su mamá?, ¿quién no se acuerda del conejo que aporrea sus patas a una velocidad increíble?, ¿quién no se acuerda del zorrillo tímido? ¿Quién no recuerda aquella escena trágica que rompió los corazones a muchas personas en los cines y en las televisiones?

    Bambi es un clásico animado de Disney, uno de los primeros en ser animados a color junto con Snow White. Basado vagamente en el libro del autor austriaco Felix Salten*, la película nos narra la infancia, adolescencia y adultez de un ciervo, Bambi. Éste era el hijo único del Gran Príncipe del Bosque, un ciervo muy majestuoso que vigila que las cosas marchen bien en el bosque, y es amigo del conejo Tambor y la mofeta Flor.

    Recuerdo que de pequeña solía verlo en la sala de la casa con mis abuelos; junto con Pinocho fue uno de mis filmes favoritos. Ahora que lo he vuelto a ver estando en la edad adulta, he comprendido mejor la variedad de temáticas que sutilmente se abordan a lo largo del film, desde el papel de la figura materna como transmisora de valores como la amistad y el respeto hacia otros, hasta los peligros de la caza no regulada.  

    Un aspecto que me gustaría destacar  es el simbolismo del cuervo y del hombre. A este último no lo vemos; ni siquiera sabemos cómo es. Solo sabemos de él por los cuervos que dan vueltas sobre ellos. En la cultura popular, el cuervo es símbolo del mal, muerte y traición; esta referencia es muy bien representada en la escena del Gran Príncipe del Bosque escuchando por primera vez los graznidos del animal. Podemos notar cómo el animal se tensa enseguida al darse cuenta de que la muerte podría estar más cerca de lo que se creía. Sin embargo, la muerte muchas veces llega sin anunciarse, por lo que la víctima tiene que valerse de su instinto; la muerte de la mamá de Bambi es una muestra de que los animales, ante la ausencia de los cuervos, perciben la presencia del enemigo. 

    Yo recomendaría este film es ideal para niños de a partir de 10 años; el film podría ser utilizado como un elemento de enseñanza sobre el cuidado del medio ambiente o para sensibilizar (como suceden en algunos casos) sobre la caza furtiva.
