8 Most Devastating Disney Deaths Of All Time

8. Bambi’s Mum (Bambi)

Talking about this one might feel like rubbing salt in an open wound, so my apologies in advance. However, this list would never be complete without one of the most gut wrenching, heart pounding, “I want to cry but my girlfriend’s sat right beside me” deaths in all of Disney’s back catalogue.

I know that when we saw little Bambi racing through the snow, we all hoped that they’d both make it away from that dastardly hunter in one piece. Unfortunately, as her mother yelled “Faster, don’t look back” it became more and more clear that we were going to lose yet another animated, anthropomorphised parent. The sound of the gun going off was when all of our hearts broke in unity, wishing that maybe the bullet missed just like the first few.

Bambi emerging from the itsy bitsy cave hit the finale nail in the coffin. It really is times like these when we realise how awful us humans can be to our four legged counterparts. I might become vegan.
