Walt Disney’s
BAMBI Diamond Edition
Releases from The Disney Vault on March 1, 2011
I for one am very excited to hear that Disney will be releasing one of their classics- Bambi onto Blu-Ray + DVD. I am a huge Disney fanatic and LOVE pretty much all of the original classic movies. Don’t get me wrong I love all the new ones too but these older classic ones remind me of my childhood. So when I was given the opportunity to share this release with you and review a copy I jumped at it. I absolutely want my children to be familiar with the classic Disney movies that I watched as a child. We’ve been to Disney World a number of times and took the kids last January and while I love that they are already familiar with all the new Disney stuff I want them to know everything else just as well. I will admit that it was little harder to get my 2 1/2 year old to sit down and watch this movie because it’s not as flashy and exciting as Toy Story, or Cars and starts a little slow however once we got into it she really enjoyed all the animals, especially Bambi and Thumper. My older girls (ages 5 and 7) were the same way. They all enjoyed making a fun family activity out it.
The new BAMBI Diamond Edition will be available as a 2-Disc Disney Combo Pack (Blu-ray + DVD) for the suggested retail price of $39.99 US/$46.99 Canada, a High Definition Movie Download for the suggested retail price of $19.99 US/$39.99 Canada, and/or a Standard Definition Movie Download for the suggested retail price of $14.99 US/$24.99 Canada. Those who wish to own the standard definition DVD version of BAMBI will need to wait seven additional weeks – until April 19, 2011.
Disney’s new “Second Screen” technology, which is being introduced for the very first time on the BAMBI Diamond Edition release, will further transform the at-home movie watching experience by empowering viewers with the ability to engage with film content on multiple media platforms and bring them to life in their own hands at the touch of a button. By simply downloading the new Disney Second Screen App onto an internet-connected computer or iPad™* and synching it to the movie, consumers will instantly be able to dive deeper into the film by engaging with fun interactive elements like animated flipbooks, galleries, photos, trivia and more.
Film Synopsis:
As morning light breaks across the meadow, a young deer named Bambi is born and hailed as ‘Prince of the Forest.’ Soon Bambi emerges from the thicket on wobbly legs, much to the delight of his new friends, Thumper, the playful rabbit, and Flower, the bashful yet lovable skunk. But the fun of nibbling on fresh blossoms and frolicking through the woods is only the beginning. Exploring his new world, and guided by the wisdom of Friend Owl,Bambi learns valuable life lessons with every adventure – experiencing the power of friendship, family, and love along the away.
