[net.movies] Bambi"s Father did NOT die

hutch (06/24/82)

 I regret to announce to all you folks but Bambi's father WAS NEVER KILLED.

 I thought he had been killed in the first "Man in the Meadows" scene but
 apparently the fellow missed.

 I thought he had been killed in the forest fire, until *BOTH* he and Bambi
 came strolling up onto the Island.

 In fact, in the end, where Bambi is standing up on the hill looking down
 on the thicket where his twins have just been born, he is standing SHOULDER
 TO SHOULDER with his father.
