Disney's Bambi It was an animator by the name of Maurice Day who
first bought the Felix Salten book Bambi to the attention of Walt
Disney. When Walt finally decided to make the movie, he thanked
Maurice Day by holding the world premiere in Maurice' hometown of
in the tiny Lincoln Theature of Damariscotta, Maine. Since it was the first Disney movie to star an all-animal cast, animators could not figure out how to make their characters more human and make them interesting enough to carry out a full film. However, their problem was solved the day they found the voice actor for Thumper. It gave them a new take on the picture and inspired them to draw the characters like kids in the neighborhood. Although the casting director though the young man was horribly untalented, the animators insisted he get the role. Bambi was the first Disney movie that stared a full animal cast. It was also the first Disney full-length animated feature to hold its world premiere outside the United States -it was first released in England. |
