Also the "don't touch wild animals or the mother will abandon it" thing has been known as Bambi syndrome.
I thought of a new idea for a trope. "Bambi Syndrome". This trope is used to describe a film or story that follows the same formula as Bambi: - The main protagonist starts out as a newborn but grows up throughout the course of events. - The main protagonist has a parent whom he is very close to. - The parent dies at one point in the movie. - The main protagonist gets revenge on the antagonist who killed his parent. - The main protagonist continues the Circle of Life at the end of the movie.
There are three movies I know of that have this "Bambi Syndrome": 1. Bambi 2. The Land Before Time 3. The Lion King I'm sure there are tons of others that do as well.
I'd like to know if there is a trope like this on this site, and if so, what is it called? I think "Bambi Syndrome" is a better name for it whatever it may be.
