While I am sitting here checking out the forum, my wife is watching the Disney film "Bambi". It is the first time I have ever seen it. I cannot believe how anti-hunter it is! I am pretty sure that way back when it was made that was not the intent, but, it sure comes across that way now. They make the hunters look like crazies that will shoot at anything that moves, using dogs chasing deer, and are careless with their campfire. I guess I had a poor childhood and never saw this movie before so all this is a revelation to me!!

Bambi was written as an anti-hunting book with anti-hunting very much in mind.
Walt Disney capitalized on it and enhanced it in the movie, but he didn't invent much if any of it.
The Anti-hunters are not a new phenomenon.
For various religious and social reasons, they have been with us for hundred of years.
Those with social reasons, as you know, are usually from the City areas where hunting is not needed. These people cannot identify with the desire to hunt because it was not a part of their upbringing, but they can identify with life and death and to them, anyone who would kill for any reason is someone to be scorned.
Yes, they conviently forget that the meat they are eating was alive, but many of them rationalize that "those cattle and pigs and chickens were raised to feed us so it is alright to slaughter them.
After all, they weren't born free."
Some of course don't even sign up with this logic and eat food food. (Veggies that food eats).
Then there are those who don't have the foggiest idea about what their food is, or where it came from.
OK, I'll get off my soapbox.

The same thing happened to me the other day. It was the first time I saw it and was amazed.

The author of the book wrote it as an anti-authoritarian book. I believe he meant the hunters to represents Hitler's Brown Shirts. Look at "King of the Grizzlies". The book makes it plain that the "hunters" are in fact illegally poaching, but Annaud (typical frog weenie) decided to let the audience assume that they were "typical" hunters when he turned it into "The Bear" and hoodwinked another generation of mush heads.

Well, many idiots in fact do these things.
I happen to like the Disney films.
I grew up watching the "Wonderful World of Disney" on Sunday nights with my family. That and "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom". Wish they were still on Sunday nights versus the river of sludge that is on now.
:m2c:
Wasn't it Disney that gave us Davy Crockett? Which was one of the movies that got a lot of older fellas started in this ML thing to start with.
And Ol Yella?
And a bunch of really good flicks and TV shows?
True, Bambi wasn't one of his better movies in my opinion. But remember I raise horses and I hate Black Beauty with a passion.
And I do wish some of the idiots out in the woods could learn something from Bambi because I see a lot of those noisy, smelly, dangerous fools the same way.
A little common sense goes a long way. While watching Bambi I'm rooting for the deer and against the hunter but after its over I pick my rifle up and go try to kill one for myself.
ITS A MOVIE get over it.

Add me to that list.
I loved the older shows in my youth.
I was inspired to seek out what was shown......Wildlife!
And so I went snake hunting the day Bambi came to the theater.
My older sister said "You'll regret missing the show"
Well I never did see Bambi and I don't regret missing it.
If Walts plan was to prevent youth from hunting, it sure backfired on me.
I saw "Night of the Living Dead" at the Drive-in, now there's a movie!!!!

don,
i seen banbi as a child but never gave much thought to it being an anti hunter movie. i guess i grew up never hearing about anti hunters until i was into my teens. but then again where i live we could bring our guns to school on the bus. thanks for the new perspective on bambi

I never thought of Bambi being anti-hunting. Didn't Winnie the Pooh go hunting or shooting or was it in one of his books. "Bah!" said Pooh as he slipped another cartridge into his gun.
As a child, I did enjoy Davy Crockett & Daniel Boone shows.
