Bambi(1942)
In Disney's spectacularly animated forest fable, a fawn named Bambi is born, destined to become "Prince of the Forest." He soon befriends other woodland creatures such as Flower, a bashful skunk, and Thumper, an outgoing rabbit. As the years pass, they encounter a number of life's lessons in the woods, including the death of Bambi's mother at the hands of hunters. Eventually, Bambi comes of age, completing the cycle of life and taking his father's place. For more about Bambi and the Bambi Blu-ray release, see the Bambi Blu-ray Review Starring: Hardie Albright, Stan Alexander, Bobette Audrey Directors: James Algar, Samuel Armstrong, David Hand, Graham Heid, Bill Roberts Bambi Blu-ray, Video QualityThere are restorations that honor classic films and reinvigorate aging masterpieces. Then there are restorations that are so beautiful, so impeccable, so utterly faithful to their source that they transport audiences back in time. Disney has breathed new life into Bambi, carefully eliminating sixty-nine years of wear and tear, rejuvenating the film's ailing animation and staying true to the artists and filmmakers' intentions. The forest's lush green foliage, earthy underbrush and colorful flowers are natural and nuanced, vibrant springtime primaries and chilling wintry hues are humble but breathtaking, and black levels look as if they're fresh off the tip of a painter's brush. Contrast and clarity are impressive as well. The animators' lineart is crisp and clean, painterly background textures have been perfectly preserved, the smallest color fluctuations on Bambi and his friends are apparent, and what little softness appears either traces back to Walt Disney's use of a multiplane camera or the film's original print, never the studio's restorative efforts or subsequent technical transfer. (Even then, only two shots are distracting, one in which Bambi drifts to sleep after a storm and another in which the maturing young deer backs away from Faline.) Better still, the presentation is free of compression artifacts, banding, ringing, aliasing, print damage and other abnormalities, and I don't have a single complaint when it comes to the restoration itself. Every frame looks as if it's been lifted from an animator's desk; every iconic character is as endearing and personable as the day they were conceived; and every rich background and hand-drawn forest stands as a testament to Disney's legacy. Bambi has been reborn as a modern high definition marvel sure to warm hearts, send fans scrambling for a tissue and leave children clapping with joy. Bambi Blu-ray, Audio QualityBambi's 2046kbps DTS-HD High Resolution 7.1 surround track (not to be confused with a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio mix) may warrant more tempered praise, but it delivers a worthwhile catalog audio experience nonetheless. Award-winning mixer Terry Porter's work pays tremendous respect to Walt Disney and C.O. Slyfield's original sound design, even though he opens up the soundfield and expands Frank Churchill and Edward Plumb's score considerably. The rear speakers aren't aggressive, but the dense forest world and orchestral environment they create are suitably enveloping. Strings surge and relent convincingly, choral voices swell and horns punctuate the soundscape. LFE output follows suit, but lends welcome support to more intense scenes (especially when it comes to the forest fire sequences at the end of the film). All the while, dialogue is bright and clear, pans are smooth and dynamics are strong for a Golden Age catalog title. That doesn't mean Bambi suddenly sounds like a 21st Century production of course. The tone and tenor of the track is true to its 1942 origins, effects are relatively thin and most every element in the mix has aged (gracefully but noticeably). Ultimately, Bambi sounds great in spite of its seventy years (and lossy DTS-HD HR track), and most everyone will be pleased with the results. Bambi: Other Editions
