Thumbnails from Bambi
- A lot of pre-production artwork from Bambi has been released in numerous forms. One of the groups of images I find particularly interesting is a host of thumbnail paintings that an art director had done trying to get quick sketches of the backgrounds for a sequence. These seem to all come from the forest fire sequence. They could be Maurice Noble or John Hubley or Tom Codrick or Al Zinnen. Or others. There were great artists backing up this film.
