Stunningly Beautiful Ornament Commemorates the Premier of Bambi
As much as I am enjoying the Moments that Made Disney
monthly ornament series from The Disney Store, there is a major item they have
neglected from the series – Disneyland. One could argue that Mary
Poppins should be in the series as well, but Disneyland is definitely
missing. They seem to have pretty much hit the rest of the
milestones from Disney’s life and legacy.
Why bring this up now? Because, when it came time
to write my review of the February ornament, I expected to knock some stars off
it for that very reason. I get that Bambi is a huge movie in the
Disney cannon for various reasons even though it isn’t my
favorite. And this seems like, being the fifth animated film that
Disney released, it doesn’t need its own ornament. Then I saw Bambi Premiers. It is absolutely beautiful.
The ornament depicts Bambi with his mother. They
are hiding out under branches during the winter time, and you can see snow over
the top of their shelter as well as in front of it. Bambi and his
mother are looking at each other in for foreground, and in the background, you
can see the dark winter sky.
Words and pictures don’t do this ornament justice at
all. It is absolutely stunning to look at. When I got it
and opened the box, I couldn’t stop staring at it. The colors and
sculpt are absolutely perfect. Whether you like the film or not,
this is a beautiful work of art.
Like the rest of the series, you can easily set this one out
to enjoy year round. The bottom is large and nice and flat, so there
is no question it will be secure no matter where you set it.
Being on the large size, it is nice that The Disney Store
includes a red ribbon through the loop on the top of the
ornament. This ribbon is sturdy enough to hold the
ornament. You’ll want to make sure you hang it from a sturdy
branch. When you do, you’ll find that the ornament hangs straight.
Yes, I still think the Moments that Made Disney series should
have included the opening of Disneyland. However, if including Bambi Premiers gave us this stunning ornament, I am glad it was included. Any
Disney fan will love this ornament regardless of how much you love the film.
