Celebrate Bambi’s 75th Anniversary with this Ornament
Bambi has cemented
its place in American pop culture. Love
it, hate it, or feel neutral about it (I’m in that last camp), it is definitely
part of our country’s consciousness. As
a result, it only makes sense that Hallmark would release an ornament to celebrate the movie’s 75th anniversary in 2017.
The ornament was a bit of a surprise to me only because it’s
probably not what I would have picked, but it is wonderful. It features the moment that Bambi first met
Flower, the skunk. The two characters
are nose to nose and staring at each other.
They are surrounding by real flowers, which add a nice springtime feel
to the piece.
Honestly, if I were creating the ornament, I probably would
have done something with Bambi, Thumper, and Flower. It’s why I’m not a Hallmark artist. I much prefer this ornament that captures a
scene from the movie, and it captures it perfectly. It’s a cute moment in the film, and it’s a
cute moment here, too.
The ornament sits on a flat base, so you could leave it out
to enjoy year-round, or just in the spring.
Really, it does feel like a spring piece more than a Christmas
ornament. Fortunately, the ornament is
balanced perfectly, so when it comes time to hang it on your tree, that won’t
be an issue at all.
While the box and ornament name clearly mark this as a 75th
anniversary ornament, that isn’t anywhere on the ornament itself. Honestly, I don’t mind. I like having my ornaments without labels so
when I hang them on my tree, I just see the scene.
Any fan of Bambi will want this 75th anniversary ornament in
their collection. It captures such a
delightful moment from the movie.
Original Price: $19.95
