'Bambi' was Walt Disney's favorite film he ever made, and it is not too surprising given his love of nature films. Animator Marc Davis created the final design of Bambi by incorporating LeBurn's realistic study of deer anatomy but exaggerating the character's face by making his proportions baby-like including a short snout and big expressive eyes. The animators went on excursions to the Los Angeles Zoo and Walt Disney set up a small zoo at the Disney Animation Studio with animals such as rabbits, ducks, owls, skunks, and a pair of fawns aptly named Bambi and Faline so that the artists could see first-hand animal movement. Wildlife animal painter, come into the Disney Studios to lecture to the animators on the structure and movement of animals. Walt Disney wanted all of the animals to be more realistic and expressive than those in 'Snow White'. The story centers on Bambi, a white-tailed deer, his parents (the Great Prince of the forest and his unnamed mother), his animal friends Thumper (a pink-nosed rabbit), Flower (a skunk), and his childhood friend and future mate, a doe named Faline.

In December 2011, 'Bambi' was added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress. In June 2008, the American Film Institute presented a list of its '10 Top 10' (the best ten films in each of ten classic American film genres) and 'Bambi' placed third in the animation category. 'Bambi' received three Academy Award nominations: Best Sound (Sam Slyfield), Best Song (for 'Love Is a Song' sung by Donald Novis), and Best Original Music Score. The film was released by RKO Radio Pictures on August 13, 1942.
