Stags
- The stag, young Bambi, hears something. He grows alert; then jumps. This is a fine piece animated by Milt Kahl. The drawing is brilliant, as usual, with fine acting in the animation. I had a bit of trouble properly registering the piece; it wasn’t easy, and I’m sorry it isn’t tighter, but it’s close.
This is the final piece from the flipbook that came with the initial publication of the Frank Thomas/Ollie Johnston book, Bambi: The Story and the Film.

I’d give my left arm to be paid to make work like that. Have I mentioned Iike Bambi???

Dude, I’d say left something else because to make work like that you need your left arm to roll the drawings on the pegs.

It’s amazing that human beings like you and me turned out something like this.

Whoa, I’m up way too late, that read way wrong. What I meant to say:
It’s amazing that human beings were able to do animation like that.

You’re right, Thad. There was some inestimable talent on display in those Disney films of the Forties. Bambi may have had some of their greatest work.
