I went to see Bambi last night (for the first time even). 1) Bambi's mother is shot by a hunter. 2) Bambi's father shows up on an island in a lake just after the fire and again in the "inspiring stags looking off the edge of a cliff agaist the moonlight" scene at the end of the movie. 3) The only two characters that are explictly killed are Bambi's mother and some non-descript pheasant (a bird anyway) (killed when the hunters enter the woods for the second time). 4) I noticed that you never got to see Bambi's mother being shot or after she was shot. My theory is that they're going to bring her back for B-2 ("The Revenge of Bambi's Mother"?). This is supported by the way Babmi's father says (to the effect) "You can't see your mother again" instead of "Your mothers dead".
