 I went to see Bambi last night (for the first time even).

 1) Bambi's mother is shot by a hunter.
 2) Bambi's father shows up on an island in a lake just after the fire
    and again in the "inspiring stags looking off the edge of a
    cliff agaist the moonlight" scene at the end of the movie.
 3) The only two characters that are explictly killed are Bambi's
    mother and some non-descript pheasant (a bird anyway) (killed when the
    hunters enter the woods for the second time).
 4) I noticed that you never got to see Bambi's mother being shot or
    after she was shot. My theory is that they're going to bring her
    back for B-2 ("The Revenge of Bambi's Mother"?). This is supported
    by the way Babmi's father says (to the effect) "You can't see your
    mother again" instead of "Your mothers dead".
