OMG, that's hilarious. Where/how did you discover this Dr. O?

 

[Doctor Omega]

I remembered reading something about it many years ago. (The title certainly stuck in my mind!) and then I finally found it on Youtube.

 

[duzit]

I think it's hilarious. I suppose some will think that sick, but they'll just have to deal with it..
Poorŕrrrr, Bambi

 

[Doctor Omega]

Poorŕrrrr, Bambi

We don't know the full story behind this mild skirmish though duzit.

For all we know, there may have been old scores to settle.

Bambi may even have started it?

We just don't really know.

And sadly now, we are unlikely to find out.

 

[duzit]

Oh, Dr. O you could be right. Even though he seems docile, Bambi could have a mean streak.

Maybe he stole food from Godzilla or pecked him on his tail?

Things are not as they seem, we may never know...

Well, finally, a film featuring Bambi that I have seen through to the end. (Not a clue what happens in Disney's version after the big forest fire - apparently that was when the screaming started.)
This is outrageous - but now I want the sequel, "Thumper goes looking for Bambi" - can't stand that rabbit - he wouldn't have lasted a week on Watership Down.

I think I first saw this on THE KENNY EVERETT VIDEO SHOW, or a very similar TV series, back in the early 80s.

@Doctor Omega
Thought I'd let you know I'm watching Godzilla, so I'll keep my eye out for Bambi &
maybe find out what started their troubles...

 

[duzit]

Sorry to say there were no Bambi sightings, so the mystery continues...

Now you have to watch Bambi for Godzilla sightings, to be on the safe side.
Good luck!

Carol,
You're right, I didn't think of it that way...

Bambi was never my favourite GODZILLA opponent.

I don't know... Can't quite explain, or put it into words, but he seemed to be lacking something.


I do remember going to the cinema to see this.....
