Bambi - A Story About the "Hood"

Ok, so it’s Friday, I’m gonna keep this short.

Someone sent me a picture of an injured deer yesterday and I somehow got this movie stuck in my head.

Is this not the most accurate portrayal of modern society in a kid’s movie? I mean as far as kids go, it’s no Alice in Wonderland, but if you read between the lines it can be a little messed up.

My theory – It’s a story about the hood.

Here we have a story about a deer, whose mother gets shot and dad isn't around because he is busy being the "Great Prince of the Forest." According to my co-worker that just means he's "hoeing around." So, somehow back in 1942 Walt Disney had the vision to see the future...lots of single mothers raising their kid alone because daddy is being a "hoe" someplace.

So after the mom gets shot daddy miraculously shows up to bail Bambi out, but offers no real emotional support and then leaves again. So he grows up and starts liking this girl (Faline) and ends up killing another dude over her. If that isn’t enough drama, then Bambi himself ends up getting shot after having to fight some dogs off his girl. I mean what I say?! THE HOOD.

When I told my friend I was blogging about Bambi she asked if it was the movie or the stripper. Enough said. What kind of name is Bambi for a boy anyway?!
