I always thought Cinderella was particularly terrifying. ;)

Are you sure that wasn't "Bambi Meets Godzilla"?

I went to a wedding and reception on Saturday night. It was the first day of deer season, but I hadn't been able to hunt because of the fires in San Diego County. The National Forest where we'd scouted extensively and were ready to set up in the early morning darkness had been closed to all access due to fires and extreme fire danger. Otherwise, though, I would have been deer hunting that morning.

Anyway, the reception tables had a Disney theme. We were seated at the Bambi table. I had to laugh.

That was a pathetic "Best of" list
:barf:
:cuss:
:barf:
More of a travesty than "Bambi" was "Shawn of the Dead" as #1??!!?!
Why put non-horror movies on a horror list?
Political agenda?

:cuss:

"Bambi" has ruined the potential of many young deer hunters. The sooner these folks realize that a deer is a woodsgoat, the sooner they can get over their affection for this oversized varmit.

A little off topic , although there were guns involved, Has anyone here ever seen Cannibal Holocaust of 1980? Somehow I found and even those werido horror movie review websites( I was really bored) and found that even they think this movie is messed up.


The guy who made it had to go to trial in Italy because they thought it was a real snuff film and the movie was banned in 60 countries and is still banned in a majority of them today. One of the controversial aspects of it was that they killed animals on film which is something rarely ever done, this sparked outrage for it, I guess it was pre peta days.

i remember the deer season when my kids where 6 & 5.
brought home a spike and strung him up on an A frame in the garage to butcher him. had to send the wife out for freezer paper and she brought the kids out though the garage with her. kids almost in unison "what you gonna do with that deer"?
me: cut him up, cook him and eat him.
them again togather: "yuck"!
me: "well what do you think chicken is"?
them: "i don't know".
me: "it is chicken with the feathers off"!
them: "uuuuu"!
after a moment of thought the boy asks: "what else do we eat"?
after explaining pork and beef and venison etc. niether of them skiped any meals so i guess bambi didn't have much effect on their appatite.

I was eight years old when I saw "Bambi". I had already been charged with the duty when at my grandparents as the one to catch the chicken for her to prepare for dinner. I also was fully aware of deer hunting, and had done a fair amount of .22-use on rabbits and snakes.

But the fire scene and the "Hunters shot Mommy!" parts had kids around me truly upset. And, as the Time article said, some to the point of wetting themselves.

IMO, Felix Salter, author of Bambi, and Walt Disney were--inadvertantly--the greatest enemies of wildlife management there have ever been. They brought about the anthropomorphing of animals into human status--which is fundamental to the PETA mind.

And really causes grief for the folks in wildlife agencies as well as the rest of us.

"Ma'am, I hate to tell ya, but "Bambi" is not a documentary."
