This entry hurts because you remember when Bambi's mom died. It stung you, and you cried. You remember Bambi shouting out, “We made it mother!” And you remember that mother never made it.Mother, of course, had been poached and killed, not hit by a car like every other deer to ever pass by my car. Bambi made it, but mother was gone, and her character was out of the film.
Sure, good guys died in Disney movies. Mufasa was killed by Scar in the Lion King and I'm sure if I thought of it long enough, i'd come up with a second, but never someone as lovable as a mother doe mothering her adorable little calf, her little calf even thinking that she made it.
Never, never, never, never, NEVER had something like this happen before, and as far as I know, never since. This was unprecedented, and you did not know how to take it.
Another thing you didn't know how to take
Not Bambi's mother, you thought. You screamed out. You didn't understand. Mothers can't die while their young are still, well, young. That's not how the world works.
After the movie was over, your parents explained that that is how the world works, that things happen, and that people, like doe, a deer, a female deer, do, in fact, die. Doe deer do die daily, duh dumbass.
I was gonna say "Bambi's mom," but this is just sad. I'm sorry.
So you asked your mother something to the effect (or is it affect?) of “Mommy, are you dying?” because if your mother was going to show you such a sad, horrible film that shattered your entire youth, there had to be some reason, something she was trying to say. God willing in your case, there was no message, just poor parental judgment.
And that's really all showing this movie is: poor parental judgment.
This, on the other hand, is great parental judgment.
When you are four years old, you are supposed to like drinkingchocolate milk, drawing with crayons, complaining about girls having coodies, and watch Disney movies that make you giggle. Bambi makes you cry, and for no reason. And any parent who shows the film to his or her children is, by definition, clearly the worst parent to ever walk the face of the planet. Every single one.
Nothing against the movie; it's a fine movie. But it's a movie that you should watch when you are old enough to appreciate death, namely during the agonizing four months after all your friends have turned 21 before you do yourself or during your first July snow storm in Saskatoon. You should not be subjected to that torture when you're four years old and all out of Milano cookies.
Speaking of which, any parent who doesn't keep an endless supply of Milano cookies at all time is clearly the second-worst parent to ever walk the face of the planet, behind only the parent who made his or her four year old watch Bambi. You know who you are..jpg)
So I'm calling for the Motion Picture Association of America, also known as the Motion Picture Ass. of America, to review the film Bambi and give it it's much more appropriate NC-17 rating, thus making it a felony for a parent to subject her children to such trauma, punishable by immediate death by poachers who will then sell his or her remains for food in some backwards, third world country, like Pakistan or Burundi or Mexico (ha, you thought I was gonna say Canada, but calling Canada a third world country is too much of a compliment).
And while you're at it, MPAss of America, please rerate that film that show Sandra Bullock naked in a sauna and give it it's much more deserving G mark so it can bring satisfaction to audiences of all ages.
