1) It was never presented in a distasteful manner. Yes, there is some "ugliness", but it's just a feeling of sadness, knowing something's wrong, really. And at least it was reality, as well as NOT some sympathetic characters who did the deed. We're don't see Bambi or his mom behave in some crude manner, yet made to feel they're the "good guys". IOW, it's NOT an "anti-hero" movie.
2) How did you know the guys were white? It was just scary that humans were coming to kill them. Reality for a deer at least.
Bottom line is these movies are not presented from the "criminal" viewpoint (anti-hero e.g., "Godfather"), not sympathetic to bad behavior of ANY kind. Even crude remarks, rudeness, or crass behavior is never *presented* - much LESS glorified as "funny".
HUGE difference. To paraphrase the German Shepherd breed standard for this occasion, "Difficult to describe, but unmistakeable when present". Apparently I need my Common Sense tagline restored.

Huh? Don't know where you're going here, but Bambi is definitely an anti-gun, anti-hunting movie. I'm not sure what your whole point was about 'anti-hero', but it's an early Disney example of trying to influence your children.
"2) How did you know the guys were white? "
Because any hunter in every Hollywood movie made is white, just like 99% of reality. All the times I've been hunting, I've yet to meet a fellow hunter who was black.
