I would like to point out that the opening of Wall-e is one of the longest movie intros without speech. I think it would have been interesting to see Bambi and the rest of the animals interact without speech- music can do a lot. It would also make the audience work a little more and therefore they might feel a little more connected/endeared to the movie.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17394255467143101671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210801374268491851.post-63617525143590027312009-02-16T23:00:00.000-05:002009-02-16T23:00:00.000-05:00This is a little off topic, but I thought it was i...This is a little off topic, but I thought it was interesting no one (I think) brought up the Disney's motif behind Bambi's mother's death. Did Disney use Bambi's mother as an unfortunate tradgedy bestowed on a young "child" that we can relate to, or was this a way to increase the savageness and merciless of the hunters. I know growing up, there was an unspoken rule about killing a doe and it is often frown upon. Now I do not know if this is only recent thing or perhaps it was part of hunting ethics from more historical time, but perhaps Bambi's mom's death was used the heighten the relentlessness of the humans. I thought it was interesting and rather grim, that the reality of the situation is Bambi's mother has been shot and most likely gutted for meat.Alex L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15280605123834159422noreply@blogger.com
