Trivia:
Selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry in December 2011 as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." SPOILER:In the original script Bambi was shot instead of his mother, but `~5006~` dismissed the idea and moved the shooting to Bambi's mother. Bambi does get shot later in the film but he survives. The death of Bambi's mother is often considered to be saddest and most heartbreaking moment of any film in the Disney canon. It's only rival in that respect is in @%The Lion King%@ when title character's father dies.:SPOILER !~bambi~!~Bambi~! was `~5006~`'s personal favorite of all his films. The last full-length animated feature made by `~5006~` until !~cinderella~!~Cinderella~!. The gap was due to the lack of film workers (who were in military service) and materials necessary to make films when WWII was going on. SPOILER:The hunter who shoots Bambi's mother was originally going to be included as a character in the movie. But, for a man to shoot the mother of the hero, he would have to be clearly cruel and villainous for children to accept him. Since `~5006~` didn't want to be seen as maligning hunters as evil, the character was cut and never shown in the final version of the film.:SPOILER There are approximately only 1,000 words of dialogue throughout the entire film. The henchwomen Bambi and Thumper of the James Bond film !~bond_diamonds_forever~!~Diamonds Are Forever~! are named after the Disney characters. The original novel "Bambi, a Life in the Woods" (1923) is not a work intended for children and `~5006~` toned down much of the material. By one description of the novel, it consists of 293 pages packed with blood-and-guts action, sexual conquest and betrayal. The forest characters include cutthroats and miscreants, including six murderers. In the original novel, Bambi and Faline are first cousins. Faline is the daughter of Aunt Ena, the sister of Bambi's mother. `~5006~` probably discarded this detail because a mating of first cousins would be considered incest. One of the discarded characters from the original novel is Gobo. He is featured in the novel as Faline's twin brother and Bambi's first cousin. His death is a major plot point of the novel. Gobo was found by a man while wounded, nursed back to health, and released back into the wild. He concluded that men should not be feared and later willingly approaches a hunter who simply kills him. One key scene of the novel missing of the film is Bambi's realization that man is neither all powerful, nor immortal. It comes when the Prince of the Forest shows Bambi the corpse of a man shot by a fellow human. The first and one of the few Disney features where the songs were not sung by any of the film's characters. Each song was either sung off screen by a soloist or a choir. Man was ranked the #20 villain on the American Film Institute's list of the 100 greatest heroes and villains - the only character on the list not to appear on-screen. The character of Thumper (called Bobo in the first draft) does not appear in `~10853~`'s original novel. He was added by `~5006~` to bring some much-needed comic relief to the script. Six-year-old `~16840~` auditioned with several other children for the voice roles of Mother Rabbit's children. When Behn said the line (in reference to Bambi), "Did the young prince fall down?", a casting director who was watching the audition in another room shouted, "Get that kid out of here! He can't act!" However, the Disney animators who heard the audition tape loved the sound of Behn's voice. Behn was called back to the studio, and the character of Thumper was created largely based on his vocal performance. The Disney studios were walking a very precarious line financially, and were constantly on the verge of bankruptcy. A studio strike and, of course, the outbreak of war - which deprived them of their lucrative European market - didn't help matters. Disney was able to secure another loan from the Bank of America, but when both !~pinocchio~!~Pinocchio~! and @%Fantasia%@ failed at the box office, a lot was riding on !~bambi~!~Bambi~! to be a success. Animation from this film has been reused more often than animation from any other Disney film. Usually it is used as incidental animation of birds, leaves and the like. Only a few of the major characters have been reused. Bambi's mother, for example, appears in the very first shot of !~beauty_beast~!~Beauty and the Beast~!, and is the quarry of both Kay in !~sword_stone~!~The Sword in the Stone~! and Shere Khan in !~jungle_book~!~The Jungle Book~!. Bambi and his mother fully appear then in !~rescuers_1~!~The Rescuers~!. Unusually for the time, `~5006~` insisted on children providing the voices for the animals when they were young, instead of using adults mimicking youngsters. No matter how skilled the animator, the Disney cartoonists simply could not draw Bambi's father's antlers accurately. This was because of the very complicated perspectives required. To get round the problem, a plaster cast was made of some real antlers which was then filmed at all angles. This footage was then rotoscoped onto animation cels. Man is in the forest was a code phrase used by Disney's employees when `~5006~` was coming down the hallway.
