Walt Disney's Bambi is an experience you will never forget-now more brilliant than ever on Blu-ray.
Review: Disney has taken to re-releasing new versions of their classic animated films converted into high-definition over the past few years. The latest in this line of films is the classic Bambi. This is the latest in the Diamond Edition series. Previous releases have included Snow White and Beauty and the Beast. The next release is the Lion King later this year (which we'll review at that time), but for now lets take a peek at Bambi!
The film itself stands alone as one of the greatest and most emotioanlly stirring animation pieces of all-time. Few of us can forget the first time we saw the death of Bambi's mother at the hands of the vicious hunter. To this day I still hate hunting, lol. This film has definately made it's staple on our culture and our childhoods. The transfer into high-definition has been a kind one to this 1942 classic. The picture looks fantastic. Certainly, there is some noise, because you're talking about a film that is about 70 years old, but its quite impressive. The color really pops now and its quite smooth. Definately an improvement over the DVD release.
The special features include: Features Disney Enhanced High Definition Picture and Sound, Disney's Second Screen - Content comes alive on your laptop, or iPad as you watch the movie, Disney View - 16x9 Full frame viewing experience, Intro by Diane Disney Miller, Inside Walt's Story Meetings - Enhanced interactive edition, Two never-before-seen deleted scenes, Deleted song, Blu-ray interactive galleries, Game: Disney Big Book of Knowledge and Classic DVD bonus features.
