Released 10 months after Dumbo in 1942, Bambi ends the Golden Era, with a bunch of Package films that would take up the rest of the decade.
This film is about a newborn deer (Bambi) learning the basics of life, and experiencing the triumphs and tribulations of the life of a deer (like man hunting deer and other animals) until adulthood.
The characters in Bambi are not humanized animals, like in other Disney films. Bambi is the young, naive deer who has to get taught how to survive, and becomes a mature man in the end. His friends (the skunk and rabbit) are cute and supportive friends. His mother is a wise deer.
The characters do not burst into song, and I don't believe that there are any songs, just an amazing score. The animation is top notch, and the best of the era; you feel like you are in the forest, and there is so much detail. This film is not ranked higher because the cutesy scenes drag on for too long, and you can easily tune out at times.
I you want to watch a short, beautiful nature film, this is the film to watch.
