Basically the skunk, an animal that's probably often avoided because of their stink spray, has most likely never been called pretty, or a flower in his life. So to have Bambi call him that from the first time they meet, and have him MEAN it, yeah, guys got a friend for life there.
Along with Mufasa's death in The Lion King (which was inspired by Bambi's mom's death but the went even further by show him actually dying and Simba finding is corpse, which I don't think even Walt would have done at time).
For me, the actual shooting wasn't the killer moment, but when Bambi is out in the dark forest in the heavy snow calling desperately for her. The knowledge that she's not going to answer is what gets me every time.
The voice actor of young Bambi is still alive. He went into the military later in life and became a Major in the Marine Corps. The voices of young Thumper and young Flower are also still alive.
I read about that! I read that when he didn’t tell his fellow cadets/soldiers that he was the voice of young Bambi for fear they would tease him and start calling him Bambi
Fun Fact: In one draft of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Judge Doom was going to be the hunter who shot Bambi's mom. That would've tracked. Also, I hope you watch the sequel.
Yes, the sequel is really good, I would also like to see Cody in the future watch Alice in Wonderland (1951) which is one of my favorite childhood movies.
I like how the character of “Man” is handled in this film. Even though they are not shown on screen, the presence of them being portrayed through the music and tone of the film makes them give off scary vibes.
The death of Bambi’s mom was the reason that made Walt Disney change his mind about killing off trusty in lady and the tramp. Audiences were so devastated watching Bambi that Walt didn’t wanted them to go thru the same thing again 😅 Also about the deer that fought Bambi over faline has a bigger role in the midquel (that takes place after the death of Bambi’s mom). It’s a pretty good movie and it also expands the relationship between Bambi and his dad 🥺
It also inspired Mufasa's death in The Lion King (the movie in general was inspired by Bambi to the point they refered to it as "Bambi in Africa" and you can see the similiarities) with the exception of that unlike with Bambi's mom, you saw Mufasa falling (but not hit the ground), Simba seeing him die and then found his corpse, which makes it even sadder.
Peggy Lee was the one who convinced Walt not to kill Trusty. this movie was the first Disney movie to have a main character die and not be revived by magic or a kiss. of course, there is the theory of dead mothers, stemming from Walt's own mother's death. Walt bought a new house for his parents, but she died from carbon monoxide poisoning due to a faulty furnace. his dad survived, but went into a deep depression. Walt blamed himself for the rest of his life
What makes Bambi’s mother’s death worse is that it’s illegal in a lot of places and something you just don’t do. You always go for the bucks, not the does and fawns.
One thing to note: Hunters aren't supposed to go after does with fawns. So this guy isn't just a hunter, he's an unethical one. Depending on the laws where he lives, he might even be a poacher.
Loved this reaction!! Highly recommend watching Bambi 2! Takes place right after his mom dies and the relationship between young Bambi and his father. As a father myself who had to unlearn a lot of things for fatherhood, that movie will always hold a special place in my heart
Fun Fact: My great-grandmother actually got called by Disney from seeing her art somewhere, they tried to hire her but she declined that offer because she was focused on raising her family instead.
It would be an absolute DELIGHT if you could see the second Bambi movie! It's one of Disney's most underrated films, a very solid story that's loyal to the original. It also holds the record for longest time between a movie and its sequel (64 years!) Bambi on its own is definitely my favorite of Disney's classic, it's a work of art
Yknow what, I really appreciate the score in this movie. Like instead of getting a foley artist to record sound effects it's all played on instruments - thunderclaps, hoofbeats, raindrops, etc.
Fun Fact: In early drafts of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the main villain was going to be revealed as the Man who killed Bambi’s mom but was scrapped for some reason. Imagine what it would’ve been like if we found out what the killer of Bambi’s mother was like.
I kinda prefer that they left it that way. What made Man so eerie and scary was that we never knew what he looked like. Just left up to the imagination
My Grandpa saw this in the movie theaters a long time ago and I feel like he’s very lucky to see it honestly every time I watch Bambi‘s mom died when she gets Shot that scene is so emotional and it makes me feel sad. I feel that way about mufasa’s death in the Lion King, it’s so sad. He always does the plot where they have to kill the main characters parents if you like these classic Disney movies check out Snow White, and the seven dwarfs
I love the old classical music in this movie, Bambi is one my childhood favorites along with Charlotte's Web growing up. But I can't say I didn't cry a lot, but it taught me early on about circle of life, my dad was hunter, so he wanted me to learn early and so did grandpa. But other than that, I loved this movie.
In the original storyboard he was supposed to find his mums body. Please consider watching bambi 2 it takes place between his mums death and him grown up and i think its a lovely little film
I agree Cody, I love hand drawing animation, one reason why I got into Anime when I first watched Ponyo on the tv while I was in hospital. but I love 2d disney movies! I've been itching for this to come on youtube! Loved your reaction! And yes, there is a sequel and it's one of my favourite Disney sequel, not the way up but it's still one of my favouriites. I watched Bambi a few weeks ago after not seeing it in a long time and I completely forgotten on how amazing it was. I have to rewatch bambi 2 before or if you get the reaction of bambi 2 up. Again, great reaction! Hope you're having a great week!
I woulda loved to see your reaction to the scene where the father comes to fetch him after he's been shot. He wakes him up and demands he get up in a very firm voice, without providing any aid. It sounds mean, but he's actually puting himself in danger by going back for him, and he simply knows if Bamby can't walk, he's not gonna survive. When Bamby struggles to stand you can hear the urgency in the father's voice and then when Bambi managest to stand he does give him a shoulder to rely on for a moment, and slows down for him.
Just started watching your video and I have to say that Bambi 2 is worth your time. I honestly think it’s one of the best of the Disney follow-up movies
Glad you were able to watch this; this was what I first watched on Disney+ 😊 Don’t worry, a lot of other people thought that Flower was a girl when we first met him ^w^
I quite enjoyed this reaction. Besides the sequel, I’d really liked to recommend these underrated animated films: The Land Before Time, We’re Back! A Dinosaur Story, and Pete’s Dragon; yes it’s live action film with an animated dragon, but I guarantee you’d love it! 🦌🐇🦨🌼☀️🍁❄️💛🤎🧡💚
I remember when I was younger this was probably one of my favorite Disney movies. Nowadays I don’t consider it a favorite anymore, but I still find Bambi enjoyably charming regardless.
I love how The Great Prince steps down and Bambi takes his place at the end. I forgot about that...I haven't seen this movie since childhood, but I have seen the midquel more recently, I believe.
Bambi is one of those Disney films that I enjoy watching very much.😌 Not only does the animation of the animal characters look amazing(because the animators worked very close to their live counterparts), but the backgrounds look beautiful for its time. Also, Bambi 2 is a great one, definitely recommend it!
This is my favorite Disney film aside from the lion king, no one ever understood that, I'm glad you're watching it, the animation and soundtrack give me such nostalgia
1. The zombie-Grasshopper in A Bug's Life was specifically named after Thumper. 2. There's no real time period this movoe is set in, so there's a Theory that Gaston shot Bambi's mom.
30:27 Bambi's father stepping down to let his son have his moment is so powerful to me in a way that is unexplainable. This movie means so much to me. Just hearing some of the soundtrack can be enough to bring me to tears at times. Is that odd?
Plus, back in the day when it was on VHS I always loved the old Disney how it was all hand-drawn art back in the day for the animation compared to now. Not saying that the new animation is bad, but I do love seeing older drawn by hand art. I just loved how they made everything back then.
Bambi was the first movie I ever saw growing up. I loved it so much, I was excited when Bambi 2 came out. Both are still such amazing movies! Hope you get around to seeing the sequel.
Be sure to check out the midquel sequel “Bambi II” as well. The original is a classic, but “Bambi II” is even better. Two of my all-time favorite Disney movies
This was one of my favorite Disney films growing up. I had a special edition VHS where they showed behind-the-scenes stuff of the production of this film and that's what got me studying animation later (I ended up not working as an animator) and even though there are other Disney films that I like more than this one, this still holds a special place in my heart.
Haven't seen this movie in years so this felt like you were a company to watch together 😌👌🏻 but have to say, I was very little when I saw it for the first time (think I was maybe 5) and when the Bambis mother got shot scene came up, gave me nightmares for years because I understood that the mother was shot and Bambi lost his mother and in some way it gave me a big fear of losing my mother😢 so I cried so much because of that scene, though I don't have nightmares anymore so that's just a good thing. So now when I watched your video and saw it was coming up I was like: oh no, here we go.. don't cry, don't cry..🥺. And when that last gunshot (gave me chills how it sounded😓) and then I lost and cried, couldn't hold it in😭. It's too sad 😢. Other than that dark part, it's a beautiful, satisfying and cozy movie👌🏻❤️
26:31 This scene always disturbed me as a kid. They let you hear this character. Know the fear that she was going through. And the panic welling up while her friends urged her to calm down and stay on the ground. All to no avail. The quail/pheasant is too panic stricken to listen or think clearly and takes flight. Which cost her her life. I would always wanna squirm and look away at this scene. It isn't Bambi's mother's death. We see the body fall this time. It's such a messed up scene and I love this movie for having the guts to do this.
I was crying through almost the whole reaction. I watched Bambi since 5 or so, but only a couple of years ago I started to get very emotionak EVERY time I watch it or even hear the music from there. (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)
This movie is what made me love nature at an early age also my favorite songs from it are "Gay Little Spring Song", "Looking for Romance" and "Love is a Song"💕🎥💚🦌🎶. Plus well said Cody at 18:10 LOL 🤣🦉
Walt Disney really seemed to have a fascination with animating movement to music, just watching how the characters move, it feels like an orchestration in itself to the film's accompanying soundtrack.
Bambi had beautiful animation, the Owl and Thumper was funny at times, and appreciate the dark moments as well like Man and the fire sequence in the end. There’s also a live-action adaptation of this film in development as well likely.
Fun fact : there were three different version of the movie in the french version. In one of them, Thumper is voiced by the woman who voiced Penny from " The Rescuers " and in another, The Owl is vouced by the same voice actor than the grumpey badger from " The fox and the hound "
My was taken to see this when she was 8. She was so affected by the death of Bambis mom that they were almost asked to leave because of how loud she cried.
In the original cut before release, they had a scene where Bambi returned to the field to search for his mother and actually finds her dead in a pool of blood. Obviously, they decided that was too graphic and decided to have his father break the news to him instead.
Plus, (while I'm not a hunter, so would have no clue how long this would take), I was thinking with Bambi running all the way back to the thicket without noticing his mom's not with him, maybe by the time he went to look for her, she would have gotten taken by then (?)
Thank you for this! I can highly recommend Bambi 2 as well. It‘s my absolute favorite Disney and it was the first time I liked a second movie more than the first.
In Bami Two you get a little more detail even though it should be called Bami one in half. Or like that Lion king movie was called one in half something in the title I believe it was called by. But Bambi 2 explains what happens when he went to go live with his dad.
OMG, this is such a classic and a really good movie. If you really love this movie then you should watch Oliver and Company because it’s also an all-time classic and I hope you do watch it. I’m sorry if I’ve been suggesting it a lot, but I think you should and I think you would really like it.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fun fact: Bambi's fawns are named Geno and Gurri! There were some comics Disney made featuring them and some other book-only characters, but for their full stories, I'd highly recommend Felix Salten's original books, Bambi and Bambi's Children.
See, let me say this. I used to watch this movie on a few occasions when I was little but I never understood what that one scene with Bambi’s mother meant. I did understand eventually and now every time I see it, it hits harder 😭
I think you should watch (looks like you haven't reacted to it yet!) "The Land Before Time" (1988). It also involves an animal mother and son, BUT they are dinosaurs (brontosaurus / apatosaurus) :)
i actually always really liked the pre-sequel! it felt very sweet and i love me a good kid and parent bonding! this movie was one of my favs, and again the sequel had to have been one of my fav sequels
Whoa! A classic! World War II was still going on at the time, but it didn’t stop Walt Disney from continuing making films. Interesting to note: Walt’s top animators wanted to include a scene showing Bambi’s mother’s lifeless body shortly after the gunshot. But Walt decided against it saying, “it doesn’t feel quite right.”
Yes I love this movie as a kid such a beautiful movie and also your not gonna believe me when I say this but they are making a horror movie of bambi which is crazy honestly.
Basically the skunk, an animal that's probably often avoided because of their stink spray, has most likely never been called pretty, or a flower in his life. So to have Bambi call him that from the first time they meet, and have him MEAN it, yeah, guys got a friend for life there.
The part where Bambi’s mom was killed is one of the most heart wrenching moments in Disney history.
Just like Mufasa’s death in The Lion King.
Yeah, the second I heard that gunshot, I had chills because I was in disbelief, that death really broke me.
@@christianortiz-v1lme too
Along with Mufasa's death in The Lion King (which was inspired by Bambi's mom's death but the went even further by show him actually dying and Simba finding is corpse, which I don't think even Walt would have done at time).

He was served in the Korean War and Vietnam war.
23:22 "Who's that?"
That would be Ronno, the neighborhood bully and tough guy.
Fun Fact: In one draft of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Judge Doom was going to be the hunter who shot Bambi's mom. That would've tracked. Also, I hope you watch the sequel.
That would be crazy
Yes, the sequel is really good, I would also like to see Cody in the future watch Alice in Wonderland (1951) which is one of my favorite childhood movies.
I like how the character of “Man” is handled in this film. Even though they are not shown on screen, the presence of them being portrayed through the music and tone of the film makes them give off scary vibes.
Agreed. To the animals, we basically seem like an intimidating, menacing, often unseen presence. They did that perfectly in this movie.
The death of Bambi’s mom was the reason that made Walt Disney change his mind about killing off trusty in lady and the tramp. Audiences were so devastated watching Bambi that Walt didn’t wanted them to go thru the same thing again 😅
Also about the deer that fought Bambi over faline has a bigger role in the midquel (that takes place after the death of Bambi’s mom). It’s a pretty good movie and it also expands the relationship between Bambi and his dad 🥺
The enemy deer is called Ronno 🙂
It also inspired Mufasa's death in The Lion King (the movie in general was inspired by Bambi to the point they refered to it as "Bambi in Africa" and you can see the similiarities) with the exception of that unlike with Bambi's mom, you saw Mufasa falling (but not hit the ground), Simba seeing him die and then found his corpse, which makes it even sadder.
And same for why Chief wasn’t killed in Fox and the Hound as well.
Peggy Lee was the one who convinced Walt not to kill Trusty. this movie was the first Disney movie to have a main character die and not be revived by magic or a kiss. of course, there is the theory of dead mothers, stemming from Walt's own mother's death. Walt bought a new house for his parents, but she died from carbon monoxide poisoning due to a faulty furnace. his dad survived, but went into a deep depression. Walt blamed himself for the rest of his life
It’s also one of the best jokes in Animaniacs
What makes Bambi’s mother’s death worse is that it’s illegal in a lot of places and something you just don’t do. You always go for the bucks, not the does and fawns.
Yes, it's more the ones like the Great Prince who are the main targets
Unless they legit didn’t see little Bambi
One thing to note: Hunters aren't supposed to go after does with fawns. So this guy isn't just a hunter, he's an unethical one. Depending on the laws where he lives, he might even be a poacher.
That makes sense, because accident or not, they didn't properly put out their camp fire either
@@artloveranimation true andif I'm not wrong, it's deers like the Great Prince who are more the hunters' target
Unless he didn’t see tiny Bambi
it was the 1940's
@@nopenope-wx4zb And? The conservation movement took off in the late 1800s. Plenty of countries had hunting regulations by the 1940s.
There was a family feud question that was "name a disney movie that makes adults cry like babies ". This was the number 1 answer
Fun fact: They brought live deer to the studio so the animators can study how the deer move.
That's quite smart, and the results in the movie show it :)
Loved this reaction!! Highly recommend watching Bambi 2! Takes place right after his mom dies and the relationship between young Bambi and his father. As a father myself who had to unlearn a lot of things for fatherhood, that movie will always hold a special place in my heart
There is a sequel that Anwsers the question, “What is he going to do?” For you
The second Bambi, if you wanted to watch, gives Bambi's dad a lot of character. Plus great songs in that one!
Cody always cheering for Bambi like a nice uncle, I love it 😂😂
Fun Fact: My great-grandmother actually got called by Disney from seeing her art somewhere, they tried to hire her but she declined that offer because she was focused on raising her family instead.
Interesting!
28:15-28:58 THIS is what happens when you don’t put a fire out the proper way. As Smokey Bear would say “Only you can prevent wildfires.”.
One of the cutest and saddest movies ever. The death of Bambi's mother always breaks my heart. 😭💔
Same. I feel a lump in my throat right now.
I still get choked up at that scene, especially when Bambi’s father breaks the news to him.
@@SpacialRend7Same, and he was voiced by Professor Charles Xavier, A.K.A. Professor X in the second movie
@@morganghostbusters-egonfanpatrick Stewart
Fun Fact: While it was never spoken, the twins names are confirmed to be Geno and Gurri.
Just like Lady’s puppies, minus-Scamp, the three females were named Annette, Collette, and Danielle
Did you know their names used to be fluffy ruffy and scooter?
It would be an absolute DELIGHT if you could see the second Bambi movie! It's one of Disney's most underrated films, a very solid story that's loyal to the original.
It also holds the record for longest time between a movie and its sequel (64 years!)
Bambi on its own is definitely my favorite of Disney's classic, it's a work of art
Fun Fact: Adult Flower was actually voiced by Sterling Holloway, OG voice of Pooh Bear, Kaa, and Cheshire Cat.
I thought Tim Cummings (or is it Jim?) was the original voice for those characters?
@@simplegirl2364 Nope. Jim Cummings became the stand-in voice for those characters after Sterling passed away.
@@SpacialRend7 ohhh. So in the original Alice in Wonderland and Jungle Book, that was Sterling?
@@simplegirl2364 Yes, that’s right.
Fun fact: Bambi is Walt Disney favorite movie and in the movie can you see and feeling his heart and souls, his feeling is in this movie
The mom's death is by far one of the saddest moments in Disney history. 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Also, bambi & Faline is one of my personal favorite Disney couples.
One thing I learned is that the Jaws theme was inspired by man’s theme in this movie.
I can kinda hear the instruments spelling "man" during the theme...M A N. I don't know if that was on purpose, but probably.
The ending of the movie is very sad too, because with Bambi now being the Great Prince he won’t get to see much of his mate or his offspring.
Yes, because that's how it works in real life 😢
Fun fact: The "Man Returns" Theme inspired the "Jaws" Theme.
Ahhh the Disney film that made all 40s kids weep
This movie has less than 1,000 words.
In fact only about 950 total words are spoken throughout the movie.
Yknow what, I really appreciate the score in this movie. Like instead of getting a foley artist to record sound effects it's all played on instruments - thunderclaps, hoofbeats, raindrops, etc.
That scene with the quail (I think its a quail?) getting shot is oddly terrifying.. the fear in her voice and then her getting shot on screen..
But you still get to see her body land next to them
Fun Fact: In early drafts of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the main villain was going to be revealed as the Man who killed Bambi’s mom but was scrapped for some reason. Imagine what it would’ve been like if we found out what the killer of Bambi’s mother was like.

This is one of my favorite childhood classic movies and there is a Bambi 2

This movie means so much to me. Just hearing some of the soundtrack can be enough to bring me to tears at times. Is that odd?

Can we just appreciate the calm voices they had back then?? Its so relaxing watching old Disney movies such as Bambi and The Fox And The Hound
Bambi was the first movie I ever saw growing up. I loved it so much, I was excited when Bambi 2 came out. Both are still such amazing movies! Hope you get around to seeing the sequel.
Be sure to check out the midquel sequel “Bambi II” as well. The original is a classic, but “Bambi II” is even better. Two of my all-time favorite Disney movies
This was one of my favorite Disney films growing up. I had a special edition VHS where they showed behind-the-scenes stuff of the production of this film and that's what got me studying animation later (I ended up not working as an animator) and even though there are other Disney films that I like more than this one, this still holds a special place in my heart.
Definitely should watch Bambi two. Bambi is my favorite older Disney movie
disney had a lot of animal movies
this and lady and the tramp are my favorite
and omg the sequel to this is sooo underated!!!
This was the first movie I ever saw as a baby. My mom always reminds me. So nostalgic!
Do Dumbo or the many adventures of Winnie the Pooh
fun fact, the theme music for "Man" was inspiration for the theme for Jaws
Now, that you mentionned it, I knew the sound was familiar (I didn't see " Jaws " but I know the music)
Haven't seen this movie in years so this felt like you were a company to watch together 😌👌🏻 but have to say, I was very little when I saw it for the first time (think I was maybe 5) and when the Bambis mother got shot scene came up, gave me nightmares for years because I understood that the mother was shot and Bambi lost his mother and in some way it gave me a big fear of losing my mother😢 so I cried so much because of that scene, though I don't have nightmares anymore so that's just a good thing.

Fun fact : there were three different version of the movie in the french version. In one of them, Thumper is voiced by the woman who voiced Penny from " The Rescuers " and in another, The Owl is vouced by the same voice actor than the grumpey badger from " The fox and the hound "
My was taken to see this when she was 8. She was so affected by the death of Bambis mom that they were almost asked to leave because of how loud she cried.
Oh shit, i just realized that the voice actor for Bambi's mom is the same one for Little Foot's mom in "The Land Before Time"
Wow, that's so cool
In the original cut before release, they had a scene where Bambi returned to the field to search for his mother and actually finds her dead in a pool of blood. Obviously, they decided that was too graphic and decided to have his father break the news to him instead.
Plus, (while I'm not a hunter, so would have no clue how long this would take), I was thinking with Bambi running all the way back to the thicket without noticing his mom's not with him, maybe by the time he went to look for her, she would have gotten taken by then (?)
Well I guess they changed their approach when The Lion King came out, minus the blood.
Awesome and heartwarming reaction of my favorite Disney movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
You say the same comment in every video 😂
@@ItsTotallyCody Hey Cody, First, How’s the Candle business going and second, are you gonna react to Elementals.
Thank you for this! I can highly recommend Bambi 2 as well. It‘s my absolute favorite Disney and it was the first time I liked a second movie more than the first.
In Bami Two you get a little more detail even though it should be called Bami one in half. Or like that Lion king movie was called one in half something in the title I believe it was called by. But Bambi 2 explains what happens when he went to go live with his dad.
I love the twiterpated scene, " ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN TO ME" then one by one they get hit 😂😂😂😂
This one always made me cry and gives me nostalgia ❤
"Flower was a boy?" RIGHT?!
It's weird because as a little girl, I directly knew he was a boy
OMG, this is such a classic and a really good movie. If you really love this movie then you should watch Oliver and Company because it’s also an all-time classic and I hope you do watch it. I’m sorry if I’ve been suggesting it a lot, but I think you should and I think you would really like it.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fun fact: Bambi's fawns are named Geno and Gurri! There were some comics Disney made featuring them and some other book-only characters, but for their full stories, I'd highly recommend Felix Salten's original books, Bambi and Bambi's Children.
That other stag that Bambi was fighting is named Ronno. You'll officially meet him in the second movie.
How do we know his name is Ronno ? I mean, in the first movie
See, let me say this. I used to watch this movie on a few occasions when I was little but I never understood what that one scene with Bambi’s mother meant. I did understand eventually and now every time I see it, it hits harder 😭
you should continue Bambi 2, it shows Bambi and his dad
You should definitely check out Snow White and the seven Dwarfs. It’s one of Disney’s most classic films. One of my favorite of the old
Classics.
Fun Fact: Before Smokey, Bambi was the spokes-animal for forest fires.
I think you should watch (looks like you haven't reacted to it yet!) "The Land Before Time" (1988). It also involves an animal mother and son, BUT they are dinosaurs (brontosaurus / apatosaurus) :)
Seeing a reaction the second one would be awesome!
(But also just do what you think will be best for the channel)
Damn, 1942 is crazy to think about
Bambi is my favorite movie of all time I love Thumper I just love Thumper
Fun Fact: the person who plays Bambi‘s mom is the wife of the person who played grown-up Bambi
i actually always really liked the pre-sequel! it felt very sweet and i love me a good kid and parent bonding! this movie was one of my favs, and again the sequel had to have been one of my fav sequels
It's Actually called a midquel
Whoa! A classic! World War II was still going on at the time, but it didn’t stop Walt Disney from continuing making films.
Interesting to note: Walt’s top animators wanted to include a scene showing Bambi’s mother’s lifeless body shortly after the gunshot. But Walt decided against it saying, “it doesn’t feel quite right.”
My Nana’s favorite Disney movie. ❤️
I’m glad you enjoyed the film. What did you think of the traumatizing parts?
Thumper and Flower are friends for Bambi
Yes I love this movie as a kid such a beautiful movie and also your not gonna believe me when I say this but they are making a horror movie of bambi which is crazy honestly.
I hope you’ll watch Bambi II. It’s actually pretty good for a Disney sequel
You should watch Bambi 2, it explains more about Bambi's father after his mother's death
