Bambi Signature Series Review

Bambi the ultimate story of how man is horrible. I don't​ say that to be an ass I say it because we are. Look up greatest villians on AFI's list. Man from Bambi is ranked 20.


Everyone reading this know the story of Bambi. a Little Deer who is one day set to be the great prince of the forest. He has all the little woodland freinds around him to play with and he's very much attached to his Mother. His dad is the current great prince who watches out for trouble and helps protect the forest animals from danger. One day a hunter shows up and kills Bambi's mom.


As Bambi grows up he falls in love with a Fawn and actually has to fight another deer for her. Things are looking up when Man shows up and starts a big forest fire. Don't worry everyone lives Happily Ever After. This is a true Disney Classic. I saw it as a kid, my kid has seen it, his kids will see it, it's timeless to say the least. And now Disney has released it on Blu-ray as part of their signature series.


The signature series line is the most comprehensive versions of there films. And Bambi it loaded. As with the transfer, the film is immaculate to say the least. Even the RKO logo has been cleaned and reinserted. Audio is our course near perfect and the animals seem to be running around your house in surround sound. One top of that the bonus features are out of this world. Look what you get
