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)
Young Bambi: What happened, Mother? Why did we all run?
Bambi's Mother: Man was in the forest.
Trivia: When the wildlife of the forest celebrate the start of a new spring season at the start of the film, a bird feeds her three baby birds a small group of berries that resembles a "Hidden Mickey."
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).
