Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Bambi shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Bambi offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Bambi at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Bambi? Wrong! If the Bambi is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Bambi then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Bambi? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Bambi and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Bambi wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Bambi then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Bambi site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Bambi, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Bambi, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

The fifth animated feature in the Disney animated features canon, the film is based on the 1923 book Bambi, A Life in the Woods by Austrian author Felix Salten.

The main characters are Bambi (character), the young prince of the forest, his parents (the Great Prince of the forest and his unnamed mother), and his friends Thumper (Bambi) (a pink-nosed rabbit), Flower (Bambi) (a skunk), and his childhood friend and future mate, Faline (also a white-tailed deer). For the movie, Disney took the liberty of changing Bambi's species into a white-tailed deer from his original species of roe deer, since roe deer don't inhabit the United States, and the white-tailed deer is more familiar to Americans.

Plot The first half of the movie mainly involves Bambi's fawnhood, such as a walk through the woods, a day in the meadow, and his first encounter with snow.

The pivotal scene in the movie involves Bambi's mother and her death at the hands of a hunter. The scene is set in late winter, and Bambi and his mother struggle to find food as mournful music plays. Joy is felt as they discover a patch of new grass, signaling the arrival of Spring, and joyful music is heard on the soundtrack. However,as they feast, the mood changes again, and we hear Man approach off-screen, represented only by his theme music (a low, three-note motif). Bambi's mother suddenly catches Man's scent, and orders her child to run, but she's too late. As they flee across the snow field, shots ring out. The camera stays with young Bambi as he runs through the forest, finally stopping to catch his breath. He notices at this time that his mother is nowhere to be seen.

In a series of dissolves, Bambi wanders desperately through the forest calling for her, but no answer comes. Bambi is startled by the sudden appearance of his father, the Great Prince, who informs him that his mother can't be with him any more. Bambi casts his head to the ground, and when he lifts it again, he is crying, realizing what has happened (his mother was shot by Man). Nowhere to go, Bambi was forced to live with his father in the forest, taking one last look back.

The movie then skips forward in time to the spring, when Bambi, Thumper, Flower, and Faline are all seen having grown up to adulthood. They become "twitterpated" over potential mates. Bambi and Faline become a couple. However, their happiness is threatened by Ronno, a buck who's after Faline himself. He fights with Bambi and at first seems to have the upper hand until Bambi somehow manages to wound Ronno in his shoulder and throw him from the cliff on which they were fighting. Ronno falls from the cliff and into the river, from which he is not seen again.

Man enters the forest again, and is responsible for a forest fire that sends all the life in the forest running for refuge in a river. Faline is cornered by hunting dogs while fleeing, and is rescued only when Bambi bravely fights them off. Bambi and his father barely escape.

The film ends with the birth of Bambi and Faline's two fawns, with Bambi and his father standing proudly at the top of the mountain, looking down at them proudly as his father did at his own birth. At that point, the father, being proud of his own son, steps aside from his position, promoting Bambi as the new Great Prince of the Forest.

Pre-production Walt Disney attempted to achieve realistic detail in this animated film. The artists heard lectures from animal experts, and visited the Los Angeles Zoo.Walt Disney Collection: Walt's Masterworks — Bambi. A pair of fawns (named Bambi and Faline) were shipped from the area of present day Baxter State Park in Maine to the studio so that the artists could see first-hand the movement of these animals. The source of these fawns, from the Eastern United States, was the impetus for the transformation of Felix Salten's roe deer to white-tailed deer.The Trouble with Bambi: Walt Disney's Bambi and the American Vision of Nature by Ralph H. Lutts: From 'Forest and Conservation History' 36 (October 1992) The background of the film was also the Eastern woodlands — one of the earliest and best known artists for the Disney studio, Maurice "Jake" Day spent several weeks in the Maine woods, sketching and photographing deer, fawns, and the surrounding wilderness areas.Maurice E.

Re-release schedule and home video Bambi was released in theaters in 1942, during World War II and was Disney's 5th full length animated film. It was an advance over the previous movies in sophistication of the animation, due to the experience gained in character animation at the Disney studio. The famous art direction of Bambi, which suggests emotion and the feeling of a forest rather than depicting a real forest, was due to the influence of Tyrus Wong, a former painter who provided eastern and painterly influence to the backgrounds. Bambi was re-released to theaters in:1947, 1957, 1966, 1975, 1982, and 1988. It was released on VHS in 1989, 1997, and remastered and restored for the March 1, 2005 Platinum Edition DVD. How They Restored Bambi, Monsters and Critics. The Platinum Edition DVD went on moratorium (entertainment) on January 31, 2007. IGN. The Masterpiece version was the 1st Disney video to be THX certified.

Recycled animation from Bambi in other films Animation from Bambi has been reused in several other Disney films, especially footage of birds, leaves and generic woodland. For example, one scene in The Fox and the Hound (film) reused footage of the animals running from the rain in Bambi's "Little April Shower" sequence. The most reused footage from Bambi are the few seconds of Bambi's mother looking up from eating grass just before she is killed by the hunter. This footage has been used in hunting scenes in The Sword in the Stone (film) and The Jungle Book (1967 film). It is also featured in The Rescuers during the song "Someone's Waiting For You" and in the opening scene of Beauty and the Beast (1991 film). Even a latter-day Donald Duck short featured Bambi and his mother. They are drinking from a stream and then a bunch of garbage floats past them in the stream and Bambi's mother says to him calmly, "Man is in the forest. Let's dig out." They then leave.

Smokey the Bear Wildfire Prevention In 1942 the animated feature film Bambi was released. Soon after, Walt Disney allowed his characters to appear in fire prevention public service campaigns. However, Bambi was only loaned to the government for a year, so a new symbol was needed.

In 2005, the Ad Council in partnership with the United States Forest Service started a series of Public Service Announcement ads that feature footage from Bambi (& more often, Bambi 2) for wildfire prevention. During the ads, as the Bambi footage is shown, the screen will momentarily fade into black with the text "Don't let our forests...become once upon a time.", and usually (but not always) ending the ads with Bambi's line "Mother, what we gonna do today?" followed by Smokey the Bear saying "Only you can prevent wildfires" as the Smokey logo is shown on the screen.

The ads presently air often throughout the day on various television networks, and the Ad Council has also put them on Youtube.
