The modern child's "Bambi"

Rating: 5/10 (16 June 2013)

40 years ago, when my generation were kids we were traumatized by the story of Bambi. For some, that story was their first contact with the concept of "tragedy". 40 years later the kids of today have their "Bambi" too - in "Finding Nemo" although that parallel (Nemo losing his mum = Bambi losing his mum) is quickly glossed over by the the rest of the story taking place. However, at the end of the story (which is a wonderful story by the way minus the "Bambi Effect") you still have a "kid" who lost his mother, but all of that HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN. Wow! Losing one's mum is not a nice experience for any child - not now, not in the past, and never in the future. How was it for Bambi? How SHOULD IT have been for Nemo? How many of you readers reading this thought of that?
