A real bambi, without the low blows of the Disney classic

The beautiful version of Michel Fessler lacks truculence, such as the mother’s death, but for some strong scenes, and her general tone, it is not advisable for the little ones.

A new version of “Bambi” It appears on the billboard. It is not a drawing, but a film of precious photography with real animals: a dozen deer, a squeezed crow, a rabbit and, as a cameo, a squirrel playing with the rabbit, birds of all colors, mapaches, mouses, frogs, an owl, a donkey, dogs, a family of wild boars, in short, of a snail up all the bugs that the camera could find. They do not talk to each other, only tell us, counted, a commentator on off, and the soundtrack remains for a fairly successful orchestra music, the noise of the forest and the bramids of the King of the Forest.

Attention, It is not a film for restless childrenrather, it is dedicated to contemplative souls and nature lovers. What is said, in a calm way, is the life of a white tail deer, since he has just been born and tries to stand on his fragile legs, until, four years later, it is already a made and right and deals with his own son. It is a very placid life, which in this version does not include any serious fire or a traumatic loss of the mother. The only thing that appears, and is seen from afar, is a male fight for the favors of a female, with a brief comment from the narrator saying that the little deer will fight when he is great. But in the end he has his partner without any fight, only with the help of the crow that officiates of Cupid, one of the only two scenes that sound to the story (the other is when the king releases the rabbit hooked in a trap).

Director, Michel Fieslerlibrettist of several attendable films and co -author of “The march of the penguins”imposing documentary jewel on emperors filmed in Antarctica about twenty years ago. The photography director helps this time Daniel Meyerexpert in documentaries of reindeer of Lapia, Lobos de Romania, foxes of the northern pole and cats of house and mountain, and Lawrence Buchmanncoguionista, editor, participant in several of the above productions and in others on the hidden natural beauties of France and Canada, in addition to one of sled dog races in Alaska that does not come to the case but is very entertaining.

Detail on the margin: He has been put “Bambi” because follow the basic guidelines of the novel of Félix Salten in which it was inspired in a timely manner Walt Disney. But some clarifications fit here: Jump He related the life of a roe Disney He turned it into a white tail deer because it is much prettier. On this, FESSLER followed Disney. Why was I going to miss that improvement? Nor does any of the filmmakers advance in the strongest parts of the original novel, which is quite hard and complex. Let’s say the Austrian Jumpborn in Hungary as Siegmund Salzmann, journalist, writer, honorary citizen of Vienna in 1931, prohibited in 1936 (not by “Bambi” but by Jew), exiled in Switzerland since 1939, died at the end of 1945 with the satisfaction of having seen the fall of Nazism and having good money thanks to the worldwide success of the drawing, he was not only author of children’s books.

It is true that he wrote for children about deer, squirrels, hares, horses and cats, and “The Florence dog”that Disney He took the cinema twice, but also wrote for great books that should be out of the reach of the children. The most famous, “Josefine Mutzenbacher”1906, a story of a young Trotacalles (today is said to be a sex worker) who manages to marry an English aristocrat and scares the Puritans telling them their varied experiences in beds and alleys.
