Customer Reviews

Exquisite!
Unfortunately this book is out of print, and also I am writing a review under the 100.00 dollar version, which I dont own - incidentally I believe that version is signed by the two authors Johnston and Thomas. Moving on, this book demonstrates the beauty, skill and patience of the artists that worked on the film Bambi. It also shows their accuracy for realism as well as sensitivity to nature and the subject as a whole. Nothing to read here, but looking through the pictures and being in awe at the sheer beauty of these drawings, it would equal the time one would take to read an epic poem. I treasure this book for Bambi and the artwork has always held a special place for me as I am always inspired when I look at the delicate nature of the pencil lines in Bambi's neck and eyes, and his fragile legs. So innocent and pure which is the child in me that likes to come out and play. There is no finished work here, only pencil sketches of the characters Bambi, Feline, Flower, Thumper, and many others. Highly reccomended for the animation lover, as well as the animator whom will find it a great reference.

An Invaluable Tool for Animators
This book is a fascinating and invaluable resource for the aspiring (or accomplished) animator. It is truly a gift that these tools (the Walt Disney Sketchbook series) exist as an opportunity to study the architecture and the construction of such classic animation as "Bambi." It is amazing to me to see how beautiful these images are up close and in depth. As an animation student, this publication is everything I could hope for as a resource for gaining insight into character development and expression, and the intricate craft of animation.

great book but needs to show some finle ink dawings
It is a great book that is nicely orginized with the artist notes inclutid which is helpful. But there is only charcoal scetchs in the book and I know that the book is a scetch book but it would be nice to see some finle ink over traces of the scetchs so you could see the finished picture also it would help to show how the charcoal scetchs become the Master piece Bambi. But besides that it is a great book.

sinserly,
