[net.movies] Bambi's Mother

larry (06/18/82)

	Of all the real horror movies my parents took me to when I
was little "Bambi" was the worst.  To this day I think it was a terrible
thing they did-- a burning tree fell on Bambi's mommy.  What kind of
a thing is that to show little kids??  I cried my eyes out and refused to
watch the rest of the film!  I still won't go to see the movie.  My
question now is --does anybody else feel this way?  Am I being over
sensitive to animals or what?  As a (semi-)rational adult I can see that
death is a normal part of life, but I still don't think that a movie
aimed at little kids should show them such tramatic (sp?) situations.

My experience at "Bambi" was almost precisely the same - I cried so
hysterically when Bambi's mother died that I had to be taken out to the
lobby.  I'm afraid to see it again, although also would be curious as to
what my reaction would be now as a grown-up.  (Thanks for sharing - I've
always thought perhaps it was just me.....).
