So I see they're rereleasing Bambi. Heh.

You know, I watched my copy of Bambi so religiously that the colors no longer stayed in the lines and the sound was all wobbly. Even now, if I hear a bit of a scene from Bambi, I could probably tell you exactly what was going on and who was talking. I cried every time Bambi's mother died. I think I recited the "Bir...duh" speech and the "Flower" speech half a million times. I made up lives for each of Thumper's siblings. I was freaked out every time I saw the mother animal inadvertantly eat her child. [I used to think I imagined this... but Katina remembers it too. She was also scared. What was with the editing in those days, anyway? You'd think they'd notice when a layer suddenly disappears like that.] And ohhh, the fire. "Get up, Bambi! GET UP!" Stupid Man and their stupid fires and their stupid guns... And hee... that brought back a memory of being four or five and hiding in a closet, while a friend hid in another closet, yelling across the house "Bambi!" "Filine!" "BAMBI!" "FILINE!" Good times, good times.

And that creepy owl... gah.

I'll have to watch it again... I don't think I've watched Bambi in years.
