15 Mind-Blowing Disney Movie Facts
Guess who really killed Bambi's mother...
After decades at the top of the Hollywood business, you'd think that there was nothing left to be uncovered about Disney films. Every new release - whether under the Disney banner or the other mega-brands they now own - is picked apart in love and appreciation (or even cynicism, occasionally) and secrets are hungrily sought as a currency of fandom.
On top of that, the industry has never been more transparent about the way the biggest releases are made: to the point where the production is part of the story.
