Disney’s Bambi Signature Collection NOW on Digital HD Blu-ray and DVD

I get so nostalgic when I think about Disney’s Bambi. I watch my VHS of that movie over and over until the tape stopped playing, and we bought a new movie. Bambi has such a special place in my heart. I loved when Bambi meets some new friends Thumper and Flower. It is so fun watching them grow up throughout the movie. I especially enjoyed watching Bambi meet friends like Thumper and Flower. I also love when all the animals get “twitter-painted” in the Spring.

Disney’s Bambi is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year as it joins the Walt Disney Signature Collection. Bambi is now on Digital HD and Disney Movies Anywhere, as well as Blu-ray, DVD, and On-Demand. This amazing new collection release has so many new bonus features!

Disney’s Bambi bonus features include:

I learned so much about one of my favorite classic Disney films from all of the great bonus features. I didn’t realize that Bambi was released during World War II and took over five years to make because of all the detail in the hand-drawn artwork. I also really loved the deleted season’s bonus features. I always love watching the scenes that couldn’t quite make it into the film. I especially love this sweet deleted scene about the Grasshopper who Bambi almost accidentally squished while playing with Thumper!
