Toon Talk: Toon Talk: Bambi Diamond Edition Blu-Ray
Page 2 of 2
Two new deleted scenes (the expressionistic �Two Leaves� and the comic �Bambi Stuck on a Reed�) are also viewable separately, as is the deleted song �Twitterpated� (audio only), an up-tempo novelty song vastly different in style from the other songs in the final film. Interactive image galleries (like on last year�s�Fantasia�Blu-rays) are also included, as is a brief introduction to the film provided by Diane Disney Miller (Walt�s daughter) filmed at the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco.
The sole �Family Play� feature (and the final new bonus) is the interactive �Disney�s Big Book of Knowledge:�Bambi�Edition� activity. Friend Owl narrates stories from the forest and instructs you on how to compete for virtual �stickers� in a selection of games. Once completed, users can then create their own pictures using the �stickers� they have earned.
Filling out the rest of the disc is a selection of �Classic DVD Bonus Features�, including two more deleted scenes, the 52-minute �Making of�Bambi� documentary, the original theatrical trailer and a bonus short, the Oscar-winning�The Old Mill.
