#THUMPER BAMBI ORIGINAL DRAWING FOR SALE MOVIE#

The first Disney film to employ the trope of the missing or dead parents, the movie only gets more difficult to watch as the newly independent Bambi faces grave danger when a forest fire rips through the woods he calls home. It's a story that has brought tears to viewers of all ages - and led us to hug our moms just one more time.

Though never confirmed, it is implied midway through the movie that Bambi's mother has been shot to death by a hunter, leaving the fawn to fend for himself (with the help of the other forest animals). The story quickly turns tragic though, when hunters arrive. It's a syrupy start, with animals drawn with baby-like qualities to up the sweetness factor and win over the hearts of young viewers. They play in meadows, huddle in caves during rain storms, and learn about love and romance while cavorting in flower patches.

Rabbit Thumper and Flower the Skunk explain the world to the young deer, who shows himself to be both naïve and childlike. Modeled on the whitetail deer common to North America, Bambi is joined in his jaunts through the woods that make up his home by his mother and other forest animals. The story of a young fawn making his way in the forest, 'Bambi' traces the title character's transition from childhood to manhood. Many of us vividly recall the first time we watched the Disney classic, 'Bambi.' Most often those memories involve a great deal of tears and sadness.
