The first act is all about Bambi’s innocence, his childhood, where there may be brief scares (when Man approaches the meadow), but it’s this happy time in his life. It’s charming, it’s adorable, it’s this coming-of-age story and a love story. #Thumper bambi screen time movieThere’s not much I can see that’s bad about this movie because it all works.While the audience most likely did not forget them, it helps reinforce the idea that a significant amount of time has passed.
