Behind-the-Scenes of the 75h Anniversary Edition of Bambi

It’s been a while since I sat down to watch Bambi. But, with this Limited Edition 75th Anniversary Edition featuring HD technology and behind-the-scenes bonus features, I figured I would give it a try. Boy, am I glad I did! It was great to catch up with “Bambi, Thumper, and Flower” and their adventures in the woods.

Bambi was Walt Disney Animation Studios’ fifth feature release. Unfortunately, when Bambi was originally released in 1942 it was met with mixed reviews. Many viewers thought it lacked the fantasy elements that were to be expected in Disney films. Even though the plot may not have pleased some, the technology and animation that was used in producing the film was top notch and groundbreaking for it’s time. The film went on to actually lose money during it’s original release. Since then the film has been re-released several times since it’s premiere, it is now considered one of the Disney Classics enjoyed by children of all ages around the world.

Let’s take a look behind the scenes on what when on to bring Bambi to life.

Tyrus Wong is the Chinese-born artist behind Bambi’s iconic impressionist background paintings. Here are some of his original pieces from the movie:

Wong’s impressionist style went on to influence several other popular Disney Classics:

Here are some images from the development phase of the classic:

These clips provide behind-the-scene footage of Walt and his team bringing the Bambi magic to life:

Finally, here is a clip of Walt discussing the movie and what his daughter thought about it:

Hope you enjoyed this behind-the-scene look of the movie. I’d recommend to go out today to pick up a copy of the Blu-ray combo pack for you and your family to enjoy! Even if you already have one of the previous releases in your collection, this 75th Anniversary Signature Collection Edition of Bambi is a must for collectors and just Disney Fans everywhere!

Let us know what you think of this new release!

Pet owners will now have even more adorable Disney merchandise to choose from when shopping for their four-legged friends.

Proud pet parent Kevin-Michael Lezotte at Disney Parks Merchandise is part of the team who created the Disney Tails pet collection. This year, the collection was expanded to include products for smaller pets. Kevin-Michael shared a behind-the-scenes look at how his dog Haji inspired these new items created especially for Disney Parks.

New products in the collection include leashes, headbands, collars, comfort harnesses, and pet bowls. Guests will find both Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse-inspired looks.

In addition to dog products, we released a red cat collar with removable bell. Based on its popularity with guests, Kevin-Michael says a purple cat collar will be added in the coming year.

Guests will find these items in select locations at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts. You may also find select items on DisneyStore.com as well as the Shop Disney Parks app.

The Cheshire Cafe, located across from Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe and adjacent to the Mad Tea Party, is a great place to stop for a coffee, tea, orange juice, or a Minute Maid Slushy. There is typically a pastry or two available as well during the day. Get ready to pull the Cheshire Cat Tail and Drink Cold Brew Coffee on your next visit to the Magic Kingdom.

The newest pastry, to make its debut at Cheshire Cafe, is the Cheshire Cat Tail. As you pull the tail, you will discover that this amazingly delectable pastry is crunchy on the outside, with a soft warm inside filled with melting chocolate chips. The pink and purple frosting drizzle on top cuts the bitterness of the chocolate chips with just the right amount of sweetness. We wish we could say we shared this pastry, but alas, this pastry is so good that you will not find it possible to share!

Northern Friends Rejoice! You CAN get Cold Brew Coffee at the Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. (When we have friends visit from New England, this is one of the most requested items we hear them ask about.)

The Cold Brew Coffee comes standard. You can add cream and sugar from a little cart placed strategically along the side of the Cheshire Cafe. We are not coffee drinkers, but we know some of our friends are going to love this option.

All items on the Cheshire Cafe Menu are covered as a snack credit under the Disney Dining Plan. If you are paying out-of-pocket, the Cheshire Cat Tail will cost $4.99, and the Cold Brew Coffee will run you $3.79.

We love finding new snack options around the Disney Parks. It seems as though, every time we visit, which is like weekly, there is something new to discover. The Cheshire Cat Tail will quickly become a popular snack item, so be sure to pick one up on your next visit to the Magic Kingdom. Get your best Cheshire Grin ready for that first pull of the Cheshire Cat Tail!
