I'd forgotten the entire second half of Bambi. Remember when he falls in love? And another deer tries to steal his girl? So he throws him over a cliff? remember when he takes out a mob of dogs and gets shot, and still outruns a forrest fire?! Yeah, he does all that. Bambi grows up to be kind of a badass. Everybody remembers Bambi as a little baby and that his mom get shot. That's about it, maybe they remember Thumper and Flower.
My point is, there's a lot more to this movie than I thought. Also, what's up with the hunter's in this movie?! Does this take place before the DNR? How come Bambi's mom is shot in the spring? Rifle season is in the fall! Later, they go on a "let's kill everything that moves" rampage. Seriously. They shoot at deer, pheasants, chipmunks, and everything else that in the woods, including the dirt. Then they send a pack of dogs to kill whatever was still breathing. Who shoots at deer and chipmunks with the same rifle? Do you know what a high-powered deer rifle will do to a chipmunk? Instant meat smoothie, that's what! And why are the dogs running in a pack toward live animals?! Isn't the whole point of a hunting dog to retrieve your kill? It's like a bunch of rednecks mixed their crystal meth with their beer and went, "BUBBA!!! WE GOTTA KILL EVERYTHING THAT MOVES SO THE WORMS IN MY HEAD STOP SCREAMING!!! AHHHHHHHH" Disney is almost as fair to hunters as he is to the Native Americans in Peter Pan.
All things considered though, this movie is actually pretty dull. At 70 minutes, it feels too long, and the first half of the movie is aimed at very young children while the second half will go right over their heads. The saving grace of this movie is the artwork, and it's some of the best ever, right up there with 101 dalmatians. I wouldn't recommend seeing it again though
5/10
