“Bambi,” which celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, joins the Collection on Digital HD and Disney Movies Anywhere on May 23, and on Blu-ray™, DVD and On-Demand on June 6. The Collection release includes a variety of new bonus material, including recordings of Walt Disney discussing the challenges and triumphs during the production of “Bambi;” deleted scenes and characters; stories and effects that “Bambi” had on the Studio, other films and artists; and much, much more. Additionally, the Digital HD release includes an exclusive, heartfelt feature on the incredible artist, Tyrus Wong, who inspired the film’s soft watercolor backgrounds and beautiful palette.
To celebrate this momentous milestone for the Disney classic movie we are hosting a Bambi Beautification Project! I am often asked what can my kids do to volunteer? Here is a perfect time for them to help out! We will be painting rocks for to create a painted rock pathway of inspiration for the residents and staff at Solaris HealthCare in Daytona Beach. Solaris HealthCare Daytona is a specialized 73 bed facility that delivers comprehensive Nursing and Rehabilitation care in a warm, personalized manner. Their philosophy is a flexible, interdisciplinary approach to health care, with an attitude of compassion in a comfortable friendly manner. They serve the health care needs of their residents through a full spectrum of services. The team of health care professionals tailors individual programs to meet each resident’s specific needs in a home like setting.
We will be working together with the staff and residents to complete this project and then we will be viewing our own screening of Bambi. Bambi was released in 1942 during World War II and took over five years to make due to its exquisite hand-drawn artwork and attention to detail. Beloved by generations, “Bambi” holds the No. 3 spot on the American Film Institute’s “10 Top 10,” honoring the 10 greatest animated films of all time. The timeless tale features an adorable young deer named Bambi who explores the wonders and challenges of the woods with his playful pal Thumper, the lovable skunk Flower, and wise Friend Owl – and ultimately fulfills his destiny as prince of the forest.
