Bambi

I just bought 2 cartoon VCDs, yesterday, "Bambi" (1942) and "Bambi II" (2006), and I've finished watching them. Lovely!

Watching these 2, you could see a production difference between these 2. In "Bambi", music often were linked to the sound effects of the movie, and from there, it evolves into a music. For example, the falling of raindrops were masked by the sound of xylophone of different tones, thunders were the clashing of cymbals. In "Bambi II", sounds effects are sound effects, music is music, pop one somemore. And also, the ending credit is also different, "Bambi" only has one screen page; Bambi II has a long list of scrolls lasting 10 minutes, =)

The kind of storyline is also very different, "Bambi" did not have a climax storylink, or links, just a plain simple movie flow, with no objective. As for "Bambi II", you could see how a proud father (The Great Prince) slowly open up himself and learned to love his son, Bambi. Very touching to the extent my eyes were moist.

In this era of where every cartoon is 3D, Bambi II was done in the traditional cartoon drawing, which can be seen from the end credit; painting, clean up, etc. The effort is no less comparable to using computers!

There were a few goofs in the VCD version (they were rectified in the DVD version), but never mind, the storyline make up for it. =) Furthermore, it was already not easy to find voices almost the same as the people in 1942, where most of them probably dead by now. Prof X from X-Men voiced for the Great Prince, woah!

My favourite character: Thumper, who always banged his broad feet, sho cute!
