While the characters in Bambi always seemed to have the same "flat" quality to them that characters had in all the other animated movies Disney made back then, I always thought the settings and backgrounds in Bambi were amazing and beautiful. That's where Mr. Wong's talent really stood out for me.
Thank you for adding beauty to the world, Mr. Wong. May you rest in peace.
Are you familiar with Eyvind Earle? He created the beautiful backgrounds in Sleeping Beauty and I have a feeling you'd appreciate his work too.
So sad. One of the greatest artist of his generation. I did not know that 'Bambi' was created by him. RIP.
I take solace in the fact he lived over 100 years.
An extraordinary artist. I'm glad he was able to be honored at the Chinese American Museum before his death.
