Don't forget Bambi is a quite real film

The power of it was that is was real. It was there. You could walk into it and live with those animals. If there had ever been the question in the audience’s mind as to whether the forest and this creatures were true, the hunter’s hounds could never have chased Faline, Bambi’s mother could never have been shot, and Man could not have been the predator that he was.”

“Snow White and the seven Dwarfs is pure fairy tale and Pinocchio is a story of dreams come true. Only in Bambi the tears linger. In spite of humor, beauty and charm, even a lifetime does not diminish the memory of the shot that killed Bambi’s mother and the anguish felt for the lonely little deer. Love’s first kiss or the wave of a Blue Fairy’s wand could not undo this terrible moment. It’s reality and truth were the story’s strength and the prime ingredient in making Bambi such a different picture.

“I don’t believe in playing down to children, either in life or in motion pictures. I didn’t treat my own youngsters like fragile flowers, and I think no parent should. Children are people, and they should have to reach to learn about things, to understand things, just as adults have to reach if they want to grow in mental stature. Life is composed of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere, and saccharine if we tried to pretend there were no shadows. Most things are good, and they are the strongest things; but there are evil things too, and you are not doing a child a favor by trying to shield him from reality. The important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil, and that is what our pictures attempt to do.”
