It was not the hunters fault it was Bambi's mother fault


Maybe the hunters kids were hungry but She shouldn't have ran into the meadow like a stinkin' noob.

That didn't happen. Besides, they were looking for food.

Let's be bad guys.

The death of Bambi's mother isn't something that would have a being of fault. It's just something that circumstantially happened and the movie treats it as such, even it if makes some sad.

Nope, it's the hunter's fault. Murderous bastards.

All the talk about the "evil murderous hunters" is rather silly. Death happens ALL THE TIME in nature. I love the movie, but it does whitewash this fact. The owl never eats any of the squirrels, etc. which is unrealistic. In fact, there is no predatory behavior shown at all. Really, would everyone feel better if Bambi's mother was eaten by a mountain lion?

After watching Bambi, everyone should watch another Disney film by the same author: Perri. The predators are out in full force from beginning to end and never let up for a moment.
