Animation Addicts 128: ‘Bambi’ – Twitterpated

The Rotoscopers have gone on strike! Last minute they decided to review the Walt Disney classic, Bambi, instead of Ice Age 5. Was it a good decision? You be the judge!

Highlights

• Nerdy couch discussion: Why we decided to record Bambi today.
• Main discussion: Bambi (Patron pick by Greg Wilde).
• The movie is based on Bambi, A Life in the Woods (1923) by Austrian author Felix Salten.
• Naturalism – not set in a fantasy world.
• Tyrus Wong did a lot of the background paintings. At age 105, he is still going strong!
• “April Showers” arguably the most complex piece of animation in the film.
• We gotta talk about Bambi’s mama (spoiler: she dies!)
• Conservationist / environmentalist message and backlash.
• Were the hunters there illegally? (Do we even care?) A “shot-by-shot” analysis by Mason
• We rate it!
• Mini discussion on Ice Age 5
• Voicemail: Rachel and Jeremiah
