Quotes from
Friend Owl:
I was talking to myself about you the other day, we were wondering what became of you.
Friend Owl: Same thing every spring. "Tweet-tweet, tweet-tweet! Tweet-tweet, tweet-tweet!" Love's sweet song. Hm! Pain in the pinfeathers, I call it!
[repeated line]
Friend Owl: [everytime he is woken up] Oh, what now?

Facts about
Austrian writer Felix Salten (real name Siegmund Salzmann) - an insurance clerk who began to write out of boredom - got the inspiration for his novel during a trip to Italy when he became fascinated with the Italian word "bambino".
Bambi was originally supposed to go back to his mother after she was shot and find her in a pool of blood. This idea was scrapped.
Bambi premiered August 8, 1942 in London - a very daring move in the midst of war - and a few days later in New York. Despite glowing reviews, it was an initial box office disappointment. This prompted Disney to re-release Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the summer of 1944, a tactic that the studio regularly adopts now for all their animated features.
