Yesterday I saw again a classic film that I had not seen for many years and that really brought back childhood memories and mixed feelings because this film, even with its innocent aura, managed to create an unpleasant feeling in me when I was a child, and it is worth noting that not only me but many children had the same feeling since the premiere of this film, it is nothing more and nothing less than Bambi, the little deer.

Ayer volví a ver un clásico que yo no veía desde hace muchos años y que de verdad me trajo recuerdos de infancia y sentimientos encontrados ya que este film, aún y con su aura inocente logró crearme una desagradable sensación cuando yo era niña, y vale acotar que no solo a mi sino a muchos niños le sucedió lo mismo desde el estreno de este film, se trata de nada más y nada menos que Bambi, el venadito.

The birth of the little deer Bambi is very important for the animals of the forest, as he is the new prince who has come to fill his parents with pride. Bambi is the son of the wisest deer in the forest and is therefore considered to be the king, as well as being the most respected animal. At the beginning Bambi begins to explore the whole place which is new to him, he is very shy and does not want to be separated from his mother because he finds everything intimidating, but little by little he begins to be fascinated by everything around him and lets Tambor, his friend the little rabbit, guide him, teaching him the name of each animal. With time Bambie also gets to know the other deer, especially Falin, a nice little deer who becomes his friend. Bambie's mother teaches him everything he needs to know about the forest, the animals that live in it, the seasonal changes and above all the dangers from which he must protect himself, but on one occasion his mother falls victim to this imminent danger and from then on Bambi must learn to carry on on his own.

There are many things I want to mention regarding this film, but first of all I would like to praise its wonderful animation, which has aged very well, it is true that it has had remastering over the years, but beyond the vivid colours, you can appreciate that the film originally had a great quality in terms of the movements of the characters on screen, which are very fluid, in the case of the Deer they move with the same dexterity as the animals do in real life. On the other hand I would also like to talk about the depth of the story and the rawness with which the iconic scene of Bambi's mother's death that shocked so many children and even adults around the world was portrayed, may still seem unpleasant and hard to digest, may be even some tears may run down your cheeks while listening to Bambi saying: "Mommy, we're here" when he made it to the forest or "Mommy Where are you?" But this is only a reflection of what happens in reality with regard to the indiscriminate hunting of animals, many young are left alone and on their own, some end up dead without their mother's protection, and sometimes, these poachers wreak real havoc on nature.

Son muchas las cosas que quiero mencionar con respecto a este film, pero en primer lugar me gustaría elogiar su maravillosa animación, la cual ha envejecido muy bien, es cierto que ha tenido remasterización a lo largo de los años, pero más allá de los colores vivos, se puede apreciar que el film tuvo originalmente una gran calidad en cuanto a los movimientos de los personajes en pantalla, los cuales son muy fluidos, en el caso de los Ciervos se mueven con la misma destreza que lo hacen los animales en la vida real. Por otra parte me gustaría hablar también de la profundidad de la historia y la crudeza con la que fue representada la icónica escena de la muerte de la madre de Bambi que impactó a tantos niños e incluso adultos al rededor del mundo, puede que aún a día de hoy nos parezca desagradable y difícil de digerir, puede ser incluso que algunas lágrimas resbalen por tus mejillas mientras escuchas a Bambi decir: "Mami, ya llegamos" cuando logró llegar al bosque o "¿Mami?" "¿Mami, dónde estás?" pero esto no es más que el reflejo de lo que ocurre en la realidad con respecto a la caza indiscriminada de animales, mucha crías se quedan solas y por su cuenta, algunas terminan muertas sin la protección de su madre, y algunas veces, estos cazadores furtivos provocan verdaderos estragos en la naturaleza.

When Bambi leaves with his father he learns other things and as he begins to grow older he experiences other changes. When Bambi returns to the forest where he was born he makes a new discovery that is very much in his nature, all the animals seem to become very "affectionate" during the spring and although at first this seems bizarre to him, when it happens to him he has no choice but to succumb to the charms of Falin, his childhood friend, but at the same time he understands that he will have to face new challenges, however now he feels more prepared to take risks for those he loves, thus discovering a sense of responsibility.

The film is full of many good lessons for the whole family, such as the sense of responsibility, friendship, respect for nature and even discretion, as Tambor, the little rabbit, was constantly reciting (on his mother's orders) the lessons that his father was trying to instil in him. It is a hard film because it makes us face a feeling of loss at an early age, but at the same time it teaches us to face life with all its challenges and difficulties, making it clear that not everything is bad, that at the end of the storm always comes the calm and that behind the winter always comes the beautiful and prosperous spring.

El film está lleno de muchas buenas lecciones para toda la familia, como el sentido de responsabilidad, la amistad, el respeto por la naturaleza y hasta la discreción, ya que Tambor, el conejito, constantemente estaba recitando (por ordenes de su madre) las lecciones que su padre pretendía inculcarle. Es una película dura porque nos hace enfrentarnos con un sentimiento de pérdida a temprana edad, pero al mismo tiempo nos enseña a enfrentarnos a la vida con todos sus retos y dificultades, dejando en claro a demás que no todo es malo, que al final de la tormenta siempre llega la calma y que detrás del invierno siempre viene la hermosa y próspera primavera.

That's all for this post, friends, I hope you liked this classic as much as I did and in the unlikely event that you haven't seen it yet I recommend you to do so because it's really worth it. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this post. I wish you a wonderful start of the week.
