A BOOK TO TREASURE!

Without a doubt one of the finest film books that I have ever come upon! BAMBI: The Story And The Film by Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas is a treat to both eye and the mind. Using sketches, drawings and paintings created during the course of the film's making, along with insightful text by two of Bambi's artists, this book is a work of art in its own right. This book, along with the latest BAMBI DVD, would provide anyone interested with an appreciation of this film unlike any college course could. If you love this film like I do, you will throughly enjoy this now out-of-print book. HIGHEST RATING!

When available, GET IT!

Not as HOT as The Illusion of Life, but a MUST-HAVE anyway, this book gives a thorough insight into the making of one of the greatest animated feature films ever, by the animators of Bambi and Thumper...
