To me Bambi’s mom being killed is much milder than the death of Mufasa in The Lion King. In The Lion King you see the violence first hand and then the betrayal of a family member leading to a child’s self inflicted exile.
- washadjeffmad 5y agoI resonated with the fear and pain of those moments of not knowing after the shot and subsequent feeling of loss in Bambi much more acutely than the dramatized witnessing of the fall in TLK. The conflict between Scar and Mufasa had a song and jaunty lead up, so the betrayal wasn't much of a surprise. The death of Bambi's mother felt senseless and shocking. What gain could her death have served her killer? Why did she have to die? Who would care for the innocent and vulnerable Bambi?
- mrwh 5y agoExactly! Why did she die? So someone could have a moment of pleasure, someone who then never gave her another thought.
