## Description

Acknowledged for generations as one of Disney's greatest animated Classics, this heart warming story of the new born "Prince of the Forest" is a wonderful experience.

As Bambi learns to walk, talk and make friends with the other animals, including the bashful skunk Flower and a fun loving rabbit named Thumper, we discover the wonders of life and the beauty of nature.

Fondly remembered as Walt Disney's favorite animated film, BAMBI is a funny, touching, timeless masterpiece that every child should grow up with.
