Is Bambi the pinnacle of Disney animation? If not, what bests it?

Fantasia or Pinocchio

Pinocchio is another good choice. Fantasia is impressive but the strong coming-of-age narrative and naturalistic scenery of Bambi give it the edge in my opinion.
Bambi also has the distinction of being a huge formative influence on Osamu Tezuka and in turn a direct ancestor of the entire anime/manga artstyle.

I really loved how it incorporated Tchaikovsky's music. It was like it took the kind of narrative you see in Snow White while also using the pairing of animation to classical music you see in Fantasia.

Before coming to 4chan: Standard Disney song sequence. Nothing out of the ordinary
After coming to 4chan: That horse looks more into her than the dude.

It's probably because the horse was allowed to look ugly and emote more and the prince was supposed to look handsome and was therefore restricted from emoting quite as much. Disney has making their characters looking pretty or cute down to a fucking science and only somewhat recently started toying with the idea of at least allowing their male leads a little bit more variety. It was a downright scandal when a disney animator admitted they intentionally hold back female characters from emoting as strongly as they could in an effort to keep them pretty all the time back when Frozen was released.

Sleeping Beauty it was the final chance Disney's animators had to put together all of the techniques that they had learned over the years to create one last visual masterpiece before Disney's animation switched to the much cheaper xerox process.
