The beloved Disney classic, Bambi, is celebrating its 75th Anniversary with a special edition Blu-ray/DVD release (out now – June 6th, 2017!)! As part of a recent Disney press trip, I had the pleasure of talking with some of the ORIGINAL voice cast members (can you believe that?!!)! It was incredible! So, we’re thrilled to share a little more about the special release, including some adorable activity ideas!
Here’s some information about the release:
“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.
So, you can purchase your copy of the Bambi Walt Disney Signature Collection Edition (affiliate link) and then enjoy some of these cute activity ideas!
Kids would LOVE making this cute little garden to celebrate Bambi! It’s a perfect idea to go with all the adorable forest creatures in the movie!
