The Disney movie Bambi turns 71 today, as it was released August 13, 1942. I remember watching this movie when I was little and being very sad when Bambi's mom was shot in the meadow. I also remember Thumper, the little bunny and how Bambi became twitterpated :)

I wonder though, with all the other Disney movies, do little children still watch Bambi? Here's Bambi and Thumper going out onto the ice!
