Animation style: hand-drawn; blends strict anatomical realism with exaggerated, expressive cartoon features

I can remember watching a matinee on Bambi in the Voy Theater when I was young and being sad when the hunter shot Bambi’s mother at the beginning of the film. It was one of those traumatic death scenes in an animated movie that required some explanation from parents.
