Film Facts

Plot: With his best friends, Thumper the rabbit and Flower the skunk, a young deer sets off to explore the wonders and challenges of the woods and fulfill his destiny as Prince of the Forest.

- Disney based his film on the 1923 book Bambi, A Life in the Woods (1923) by Austrian author Felix Salzmann.

- Bambi was the Walt Disney's fifth full-length animated feature film. The film premiered 8 Aug 1942 in London and 23 Aug 1942 in New York City.

- Bambi was the first and one of the few Disney features where the songs were not sung by any of the film's characters, but rather were sung off screen by a soloist or a choir.

- The film received three Academy Award nominations: Best Sound (Sam Slyfield), Best Song (Love Is a Song sung by Donald Novis) and Original Music Score.

- In June 2008, the American Film Institute ranked Bambi the third greatest animated film of all time, following Snow White and Pinocchio. In December 2011, the film was added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress.

- Bambi was the last full-length animated feature made by Walt Disney until Cinderella (1950). The gap was due to a lack of film workers and materials necessary to make films during World War II.

- Bambi was Walt Disney's personal favorite of all his animated features.
