As part of the new Blu-Ray re-release of Disney’s “Bambi,” the voice of Bambi, former child star Donnie Dunagan, recalls that to get him to sound genuinely frightened about Bambi’s mother’s death, a man on the set told him that his real mother was in danger. Dunagan said the man probably shouldn’t have done that, but it worked and “he hugged me later”.
- He told him his mother had come to visit him on the movie set and she was accidentally shot by Elmer Fudd while he was chasing Bugs Bunny.
