Bambi (1942)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Bill Roberts, David Hand, James Algar, Samuel Armstrong, Graham Heid, Norman Wright, Paul Satterfield
Starring: Hardie Albright, Bobette Audrey, Peter Behn, Stan Alexander
Continuity mistake: When Thumper is scolded for poking fun at Bambi, he places both arms behind his back and recites a quote from his father. But in the following shot where Bambi rises to his feet and walks away, Thumper's arms are now instantly out in front of him. (00:10:25)
Thumper: "Eating greens is a special treat, It makes long ears and great big feet. But it sure is awful stuff to eat." I made that last part up myself.
Question: Is it true that Disney made this movie as a way to protest guns and/or hunting?
Answer: No. As with most Disney films, it's based on a book, in this case a 1923 Austrian book entitled Bambi: A Life in the Woods. There's no evidence that the book was chosen for any more than the quality of the story.

Correction: No, but hunters can still shoot at them, if they choose. It may be stupid (because it scares the deer away).
