It was adapted from “Bambi: A Life in the Woods,” a 1922 novel by the Austro-Hungarian writer and critic Felix Salten. The book rendered Salten famous; the movie, which altered and overshadowed its source material, rendered him virtually unknown.
' The film is based on “Bambi, A Life in the Woods” (1923) by Austrian Felix Salten that offered a sentimental yet critical take on human-nature relations for a largely adult audience. Taken as an allegory of Jewish persecu- tion, Nazi Germany banned the novel in 1936.
Bambi is a 1942 American animated drama film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by RKO Radio Pictures. It is based on the 1923 novel Bambi, a Life in the Woods by Austrian author and hunter Felix Salten.
Bambi: A Life in the Forest was written by the Austrian Jewish writer Felix Salten in 1921. It is a parable of the way Jews and other minorities were treated as inferior and dangerous beings who deserved to be annihilated.
In 1936 Nazi Germany however, the government banned the original as "political allegory on the treatment of Jews in Europe." Many copies of the novel were burned, making original first editions rare and difficult to find.

What is the dark story behind Bambi?
There's no happily ever after for Bambi in the original story. Instead, he must make his way through the forest alone. Ultimately, Zipes said, Salten chose to focus on the themes of solitude, loneliness, and lack of connection. He believed “that animals who don't want to be killed have no choice but to become loners.
The death of Bambi's mom is often cited as one of the saddest movie moments of all time, and it's easy to see why. That's a lot of blood for an animated movie marketed to kids! According to this book, even Walt Disney's daughter objected to Bambi's mother dying.
Unlike many other Disney classics, from “Cinderella” to “Frozen,” this fright fest is not based on a fairy tale. It was adapted from “Bambi: A Life in the Woods,” a 1922 novel by the Austro-Hungarian writer and critic Felix Salten.
In 1937, Walt Disney Animation Studios released its first fully animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, pioneering a new form of family entertainment.
There is a sense at the end that Bambi and all the other wild animals in the forest are merely “born to be killed”. They know they will be hunted – and they know they will die. “The major theme throughout is: you don't have a choice.”
Shortly into her son's childhood, however, she is killed by an unseen hunter known as Man. The death of Bambi's mother is widely regarded as one of the most shocking, yet significant moments in cinematic history, as it introduced children to the concept of parental death in a way that had never been seen prior.
A diminutive of the Italian word bambino, which means “child,” Bambi has fewer letters but a lot of character. Disney fans will love the connection this name has to the classic film Bambi, which follows the sweet deer Bambi, and his friends Thumper and Flower as they explore their forest home.
Scientists place whitetail deer and reindeer in the same family. They are distantly related … we say 'cousins'. We think that during their off-season Rudolph and his teammates visit Bambi to enjoy the Lanark summer.

Man is the unseen main antagonist of the 1942 Disney animated feature film Bambi. He is the hunter who killed Bambi's mother, a doing which is widely acknowledged as one of the most infamous and upsetting acts of villainy in any Disney film.
In the original novel, not only does Bambi lose his mother, but almost every creature around him suffers a brutal, often bloody, and premature end. There is no happy ending here. There only is danger, death, loss, and loneliness — and a stoic acceptance of these fates.
Scott Jeffrey's horror movie 'BAMBI: THE RECKONING' will begin filming in January. Inspired by the iconic story of Bambi, it will transform the innocent deer we know into a killing machine. Sorry, this post was deleted by the person who originally posted it.
