Blame it on the economy. Disney used to include special "treats" with their movies (not just the special editions). Now we get zip and not to mention the wonderful flimsy recycled package.
Yeah, even something like The Fox and the Hound VHS was available with a bonus plushie back in the day.

I never will forget the day when I first saw TFATH VHS with that plush at my local K-mart. I begged and begged my mom to buy it for me. By the time she finally got it for me it didn't come with the plush anymore. That display was classic 90s Disney.

Well having the new Bambi blu ray in front of me, the first thing I noticed is no RKO title card.
It's the new CGI Walt Disney Pictures logo.
If you're not being facetious, then I find it really odd that Bambi wouldn't have its RKO title card. Snow White, Pinocchio, and Alice in Wonderland all had theirs on Blu-ray and saved the Walt Disney Pictures logo for the end.
Wow, that was quick. The Alice in Wonderland coupon showed up less than a week before the release date and Bambi is a month earlier? I guess since one of them is a Diamond Edition, it's higher-priority.

Nope not being facetious. It has the cgi logo. Oddly when you select the story meetings option it has the old blue castle logo.
I had to uninstall/reinstall the coupon printer. It kept going back to install even though it was already installed. After that the coupons printed fine. Hopefully someone has a great deal like Alice.

We got it too early. Thank goodness. Alice took a while. I feel like crying bc my printer stopped working. I had to get Alice from amazon for 19 dollars + shipping. Worth the money but I couldn't of gotten it cheaper. lol.

Ah, well, thanks for the heads up, ichabod! That's really peculiar, though. Does the big fanfare music play over the Walt Disney Pictures logo, or has the "Walt Disney Presents" title card been held longer to accommodate the missing RKO one? Or worse, yet, have the first few seconds of score been cut off ala Toy Story? Disney's inconsistency never ceases to amaze me.

No the original fanfare music is still there. The CGI WD logo only appears very shortly for a few seconds where the RKO card should be. It's the full length long drawn out WD logo.
Before anyone else asks, No the shot where Bambi turns his head upside down to look at the possums has not been corrected, it's as it originally was.
And the shot after the fire, where the mother raccoon was licking her baby that disappeared is still the corrected version as seen in the platinum.

What was that shot? How was the original, and how does it appear on new release?
In the original when the animals climb out of the water, a baby raccoon disappears. It's mother is licking him, and all of a sudden the baby disappears, but the mother continues to lick the empty space. Supposedly Walt couldn't spare the time or money to go back and reshoot the entire sequence, so it was left.
When the platinum dvd was released this was corrected so the raccon does not disappear.
