Bambi
#1
The "I Can't Shoot An Old Friend" thread reminded me of the reason I don't let my kids watch Bambi. It's forbiden in my house. I'll not have my kid's crying because I "shot Bambi". It's bad enough getting that from my mother and mother-in-law.
Anyone else done the same thing?

I've always liked the story of Bambi, ever since I was a kid. Except for the portrayal of the hunter. Hasn't ever kept me from shooting a deer or hunting though.
I doubt if it would have that much influence on anyone anyway, especially kids today. Probably couldn't get them to sit still long enough to watch such a "silly" cartoon.
I've always wondered though, why did this buck get a girl's name?

My little boy watches bambi all the time, and he watches hunting shows. Either way when he sees a big buck he says "shoot'em". I watched bambi too, it never made me think twice when my dad went hunting. After all, it's just a cartoon. Kids know the difference its adults who smudge the lines...

I have a little figurine of Bambi at work Straddling atop a foam rubber brain. Looking at the artwork in my office and some personal pictures I have out, its not hard to see that I have Bambi on the brain even without the figurine...

We have the video. All my kids had the thing memorized by the time they were 10. It didn't diminish their interest in hunting though. My oldest killed a P&Y buck years after watching bambi. My youngest loves hunting and will be going after deer this Saturday with me.

Bambi not only tries to make you feel bad for being a hunter, it tries to shame you for being a human. "Man was in the forest". Give me a break. Self-loathing liberal crap.
