I always remember loving Bambi when I was young. I had a Bambi book, one of those...Disney book club in the mail kind of things, and it was one of my favorite books as a child. I think my memories of the story book and my memories of the movie itself must have been jumbled in my head. I guess am not a huge Bambi fan after all! I know its a classic and all that, but I think I am just getting old...I really found this boring this time around. I am sure I watched it in bits and pieces when Ian was younger, but I don't remember it seeming so quiet and long. I think it would have made a great short, but as a full length feature...I lost interest. Chloe got it for Easter, so she was very anxious to watch it, and she seemed to really enjoy it. Ian actually did too, which surprised me. It was cute, but I wasn't in love with it like I thought I was when I was a kid. The music was nice, the story was cute, and of course....dreadfully sad, but it wasn't as fantastic as I remember it. Maybe I shouldn't have watched it so close to Toy Story, because the two were worlds apart as far as animation, storyline, etc...I think that may have tainted my experience just a little bit. Overall, its still a classic, not the worst movie I have ever seen, but not as exciting as I remember!
