Real vs Fake: Whitetail Talk with Wildlife Artist Ryan Kirby

Since it’s release in 1942, Walt Disney’s “Bambi” has become one of the most popular animated films of all time. But how much of this timeless story is grounded in actual white-tailed deer biology? The answers may surprise you. In this video, wildlife artist Ryan Kirby unpacks the story of Bambi from both an artist and hunter’s perspective.

I love deer! They're so amazing and almost graceful! I'm not exactly one to believe in spirit animals, but I think a doe is mine. And I get to educate myself about them through breaking down a Disney classic!

Hey Ryan! This is a great video and thanks for taking the time to talk about it! Could you someday make a video on how to draw, sketch, or paint deer? Im getting into it and I’d love to hear an expert make a video on how. Love your art! Thanks! ~Jordana

I loved this video, and though Bambi isn’t 100% accurate to real life it’s still a good movie that has Beautiful animation. Also I would love to see you make a video on Fox and the Hound someday.

Disney depicting deer (or most other animals) as monogamous creatures is such a human thing to do, haha.
