I'm probably the only person in the world who still hasn't seen Bambi yet.
Is it good?

Its not the standard 'heroes journey" style plot and the animation is some of the best Disney has ever done.

Any user have that awesome duel in webm?
Angel Taylor
Sorry. I usually post it but I don't have my computer today.
Owen Torres
Not a webm, but it will do for now.

My interest in the film kind of goes down when they age up the case and change all the V.As. If it was a sequel, I'd understand, but the change in the middle of the film is jarring.
Grayson Nguyen
I'm fine with the timeskip itself, but I find the place they put it much more jarring because it changes straight from Bambi's mom's death immediately to happy music opening a springtime scene all about teenage Bambi and his friends trying to get laid.
Nicholas Hughes
Coming up on a year since he died. Can't be too sad, though, since he lived to a 106.

And here it is!

If someone else has a problem with the video (as in starts from the beginning) just go directly to 11:58.

>Oh, boy! Never seen this before.
>Can't wait!

It's really good. Beautiful, simple, stirring. The cycle of life, reduced to its most basic concepts, with gorgeous animation. Well worth a view.
While we're discussing quality, Bambi 2 is decent for a direct-to-DVD midquel, but it's still pretty mediocre. It basically just expounds upon things that were already apparent from the first movie (The Great Prince's tough love for Bambi, Bambi's rivalry with Ronno), and takes them from sentimental to saccharine. There's less artistry and too much kiddie humor as well. There are scenes where it tries to be faithful and respectful to the original, but it's still not really worth a watch.

Somehow I don't think this is an actual scene in the video.
