** In the production of the first film it was debated how to show the death of Bambi's mom- originally there was scene where we would see her body collapse as she jumped over a log, after hearing the sound of a shotgun, but it was decided the scene would be more effective emotionally if we don't actually see her die. Walt Disney was also eager to show Man burned to death by the fire that he inadvertently started, but this was discarded when it was decided not to show man at all.

** Interestingly, the modern ''''Bambi II'''' happened to be released theatrically overseas, but in the US it was a direct to video release, for whatever reason.
