| Walt Disney's Bambi: The Sketchbook Series : 3 of 5 | |

 I had been wanting to try out this series of Disney art books for quite a while, but since most of them are out of print, they are pretty expensive to obtain. I won this book from Disney Auctions, so now I know firsthand what this series is like. The Sketchbook Series is well-named, since the book is simply a collection of pencil drawings and nothing more - there's almost no text in the book at all, except for animation notes on the drawings themselves (which can be quite interesting). For this Bambi volume, there's a set of sketches for each main character, as well as some sections on other general forest animals and the forest itself. The sketches truly are beautiful, and they are reproduced perfectly, so every move of the pencil can be seen. I enjoyed the few notes there were - I think it's fascinating that they qualified things like "Faline's head length is the same as her ribcage". Unfortunately, even with a long look at each sketch, I finished the book in a really short time. I'm happy I bought this book, since it was the first of this series, but I probably won't be seeking out the other volumes anytime soon.
