That was the first movie I saw in a theater as well! I loved Bambi as a kid. My grandma made me a blanket with Bambi embroidered on it. When we got the VHS later, I would always pretend I was a quail during the hunting scene by hiding under the coffee table with my blanket over my shoulders as “wings.” When the hunter came I would spring out and fly away.
Not sure why that wasn’t more disturbing to me …
