Quotes from
Friend Owl:
I was talking to myself about you the other day, we were wondering what became of you.
Friend Owl: Same thing every spring. "Tweet-tweet, tweet-tweet! Tweet-tweet, tweet-tweet!" Love's sweet song. Hm! Pain in the pinfeathers, I call it!
[repeated line]
Friend Owl: [everytime he is woken up] Oh, what now?

Facts about
The Disney studios were walking a very precarious line financially, and were constantly on the verge of bankruptcy. A studio strike and, of course, the outbreak of war - which deprived them of their lucrative European market - didn't help matters. Disney was able to secure another loan from the Bank of America, but when both Pinocchio and Fantasia failed at the box office, a lot was riding on Bambi to be a success.
Some scenes of woodland creatures and the forest fire are unused footage from Pinocchio.
Animation from this film has been reused more often than animation from any other Disney film. Usually it is used as incidental animation of birds, leaves and the like. Only a few of the major characters have been reused. Bambi's mother, for example, appears in the very first shot of Beauty and the Beast, and is the quarry of both Kay in The Sword in the Stone and Shere Khan in The Jungle Book. Bambi and his mother fully appear then in The Rescuers.
