“Bambi” is from the point of view of the baby deer.

It was aimed at children who lose their mothers — which was way more common back when the book was written and movie was produced.

The hunter shot and killed the deer offscreen — it isn’t even shown. All you hear is the gunshot.

When Bambi’s father tells him his mother is gone, he doesn’t say how or why. Not one word of condemnation toward hunters. Just “your mother is gone; time to grow up, Bambi.”

There was also a forest fire. No histrionics about environmentalism or “only you can prevent forest fires.”

Both the fire and the hunting were presented as Things that Happen in Life.

Hardly anti-hunting “propaganda.”
