The film was a major catalyst in what people now see as "environmental films", as well as Walt Disney's favorite of his animated films. The film received three Academy Award nominations for Best Sound, Best Song for " Love is a Song" and Original Music Score. For the film, Disney took the liberty of changing Bambi's species into a white-tailed deer from his original species of roe deer, since roe deer do not inhabit the United States, and the white-tailed deer is more familiar to Americans. ![]() The plot centers around Bambi learning to grow up in the forest after his mother is shot by Man. The main characters are Bambi, his parents ( the Great Prince of the Forest and his unnamed mother), his friends, Thumper and Flower, his childhood friend, Faline, and the villain of the story, Man. It is the last Disney animated film to be in a single-narrative format until nearly eight years later with Cinderella due to the decrease of resources in World War II causing the studio to make "package features" to stay the studio afloat for financial reasons. The fifth film in the Disney Animated Canon, it was released by RKO Radio Pictures on August 21, 1942, during World War II.
