4	* After escaping a pack of dogs and protecting Faline from them, Bambi gets shot. He gets back up. Yes, it took his father to goad him into it, like a coach calling his champion a "bum" to get him moving, but the idea is that he gets up and still manages to outrun a forest fire.
5	* "[[http://youtu.be/S-FUcrQhTBY Little April Shower]]" may be ''the'' CMOA for the Disney animation team. Its breathtaking animation of raindrops was not matched until the computer animated storm in ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989''. The scene of raindrops tracing their paths on a multitude of leaves, each animated separately with dozens upon dozens of individual tracks is jawdropping, especially when you remember each image was painstakingly drawn and painted by hand.
6	** Even cooler when you realize that a bunch of the artists went camping in Baxter State Park in Maine in order to get the landscape the way they wanted it. The clearing where Bambi was born actually existed; it will have changed by now, but the spot can still be found.
7	* Let's face it, Bambi's mother dying in a HeroicSacrifice to protect her son is ''made'' of this trope.
8	* Bambi -vs- half-feral dog pack. One... what, two-year-old stag? Against at least twenty huge, powerful dogs. (Plus, it's late spring/early summer, which means his antlers should still have been in velvet; but then his father was still in hard antler in late winter, so...) Bambi wins. And sends most of them off ''yelping''. The ones who didn't, he lured into chasing him and then buried under a rockslide.
9	** Something should be said for his ''entrance'' in that scene, too. You see Faline, who was clever enough to climb onto a mostly-inaccessible ledge, nevertheless trapped and calling for help -- then Bambi ''[[BigDamnHeroes comes charging out of goddamned nowhere]]'' and scatters the pack like they're ''puppies''. He puts the fear of ''god'' into those dogs.
10	* Bambi vs Ronno, especially the dynamic animation used throughout to intensify the whole thing.
11	* Bambi struggling to get to his feet during the forest fire, summoning all his strength.
12	* Our first introduction to Bambi's father, watching out for him. The music helps.
13	** The last time we see Bambi in the first movie - looking at his wife Faline and his newborn children from afar, atop the same cliff his father stood on at the beginning. Awesome [[BookEnds Book Ends]] indeed.
