So, what are some things that you've seen or heard that have a Bambi reference in them, like a book or movie or show (maybe even in comic strips)? I have some:
-There is an episode from "The Simpsons" in which the family reads three stories from an overdue book Homer checked out from when Bart was a baby. In one story, there is the tale of Joan of Arc, and at the end, Marge quickly explains the ending that Sir Lancelot rescues Joan, and they both escape and live in a spaceship. She then rips out the last page and eats it, remarking that it is easier to chew than the Bambi video. LOL
-In 1993, the producers at Warner Bros. Animation made a parody of [Bambi's mother's death] on one of their Animaniacs episodes, a Slappy Squirrel segment entitled "Bumbie's Mom." In it, Slappy and her nephew Skippy go see the movie "Bumbie," which is a direct parody of Bambi, down to a Thumper-like rabbit who bumps his buttocks (according to Slappy, this is because he "ate too much sugar"). However, when Bumbie's mother gets shot offscreen, like the original film, Skippy bursts into tears. The forest fire scene is also parodied, also scaring Skippy and making him cry harder. Slappy winds up pulling the sobbing Skippy out of the theater, and then they go to visit the actress (a female elderly deer), where Skippy learns that the deer playing Bumbie's mom was not really killed.
-There is a draft of the script for "An American Werewolf in London" online, and one deleted piece of dialogue involves a young man, named David Kessler, who survived a werewolf attack out on the moors, talking to a nurse at the hospital about him having several unusual dreams, including one in which he pounces on a deer and starts eating it raw. Here's the deleted dialogue:
David: Do you have bad dreams?
Miss Gallager: Some, everyone does.
David: Yes, but does everyone kill Bambi?
Miss Gallager: Bambi?
*David falls asleep, Miss Gallager walks out and pauses at the middle of the doorway*
Miss Gallager: Kill Bambi?
*M.G. closes door*
-Former Charger and Cowboy wide reciever Lance Alworth was nicknamed "Bambi" for his slender build, speed, grace, and leaping ability.
Do you guys have any references like these?
