 Disney animators spent a year studying and drawing deers and fawns  to perfect the look of Bambi and his parents and friends. Deer are  notoriously difficult to render in human terms as their eyes are on  either side of their face, their mouth does not lend itself to  speech and they have no real chin. Ultimately animator Mark Davis  resolved these difficulties by infusing the character of Bambi with  the traits of a human baby.
