1. Gulliver's Travels from 1939 made da the Max Fleischer studio. Based on the novel da Jonathan Swift, this film is my superiore, in alto preferito out of the two films the Fleischer brothers had ever made


2. Bambi from 1942 made da the Walt Disney Studio and based on the book da Felix Salten. Now I had wanted to read the original book the movie is based on, so I'd ordered it online.
