History WesternAnimation / BambiMeetsGodzilla

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Seeing this clip open up for ''Film/GodzillaReturns'' aka ''Godzilla 1985'' on the VHS tape sets up that the big guy is no longer an ally to humanity.

* RRatedOpening: If you saw this at the start of the old Godzilla 1985 tape, it certainly helped set the tone for the DarkerAndEdgier G-film that no longer had monster wrestling.

** IntercontinuityCrossover: Bambi and Godzilla have no official ties.
** UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: Who do you think wins?

* DownerEnding: Unless you were [[RootingForTheEmpire on Godzilla's side]].

* AnvilOnHead: Well, less an anvil and more of a foot...

* CreditsGag: Nearly all the credits are to "Marv Newland". Additionally, the credits nearly run the entire running time, building up to a 2 second conclusion.

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

Notable for being the most inventive CreditsGag ever depicted (as mentioned above, every position is credited to Marv Newland), and for its brevity (total running time is 1:30, making it among the shortest works to have their own Wiki/TVTropes pages [[note]]''The'' shortest is either ''WebVideo/TheRemarkableJourneyOfHigginsVonHiggings'' or ''Film/RoundhayGardenScene''[[/note]]), Newland had intended to make a live-action film, but he lost the chance for an essential shot, and retreated to his room (interestingly enough, the room was rented from the same woman that provided Snow White's voice in [[Disney/SnowWhite Disney's iconic film]]) to create ''Bambi Meets Godzilla''.

* ShoutOut: To ''Disney/{{Bambi}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'', naturally.

* RRatedOpening: If you saw this at the start of the old Godzilla 1985 tape it certainly helped set the tone for the DarkerAndEdgier G-film that no longer had monster wrestling.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: One of the credits states "Marv Newland. Produced by Mr. and Mrs. Newland."

* FailedASpotCheck: Bambi was apparently too busy eating to hear a ''fifty-foot nuclear lizard'' marching toward him.

* FailedASpotCheck: Bambi was too busy eating to hear a Godzilla approaching him?

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.

* XMeetsY: Kind of a given, but Bambi Meets Godzilla.

* AnvilOnHead: Need I say more?
