13 Disturbing Disney Moments That Ruined Your Childhood

You all knew it would be on here, so you can only blame yourselves. One of the defining pieces of animated cinema that broke both children and adults the world over is THAT scene in Bambi, where after a careful half of the film is spent building up the innocent, sweet relationship between a young deer and his mother, and then the latter is swiftly taken away from him.

As the pair are celebrating the first grass of spring coming up through the snow, Bambi's mother is alerted to Man intruding on the forest, pushing Bambi to run and not look back. One terrible gunshot rings out as the two fun frantically for their lives, and then another - and Bambi is left on his own to return to the thicket.

Met by the intimidating shadow of The Great Prince of the Forest, Bambi is informed "Your mother can't be with you anymore." Cue the heartbreak, tears, and indefinite mental trauma.
