Mastering Bambi
Bambi is famous for its protagonists – cute animals with human traits – and its obvious nature theme. An often overlooked character in the film is nature itself: untrammelled wilderness, full of deceptive realism and harmony in which man is the only enemy. The makers strip the forest of its inhabitants and focus on nature’s role.
