[[caption-width-right:300: ForegoneConclusion at its [[MoodWhiplash worst]].]]

An extremely short cartoon, less than two minutes in length, written, animated, and directed by Marv Newland, with costumes and set-dressing by Marv Newland. Marv Newland was produced by Mr. and Mrs. Newland, and they are credited accordingly. All-told, the credits themselves take up approximately half of the animation's running time, which is ironic given that the only person that ever worked on the short ''was'' Marv Newland.

So, what does the animation depict (besides credits)?

Well, it starts with Disney/{{Bambi}} (a deer) foraging peacefully as the opening credits roll and classical [[StandardSnippet music]] (specifically, "Ranz Des Vaches", from Gioacchino Rossini's ''William Tell'') plays in the background.

[[CurbStompBattle And then Godzilla steps on him.]]

And the music turns into the LastNoteNightmare from Music/TheBeatles' "A Day in the Life" just as abruptly.

That's it, really.

It was voted #38 on the list of The50GreatestCartoons.

Several sequels (not by Newland) were produced, but failed to live up to the quality of the original.

You can watch the original [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpBkc2jK-6w here]].

Not to be confused with Creator/{{David Mamet}}'s book ''Bambi Vs. Godzilla''.
