Actually, you can't prove that the movie had such an effect. I examined exactly this point in my article, "*Bambi* and the Hunting Ethos," which appeared in the *Journal of Popular Film and Television*
(24, 2 (Summer 1996) 53-59). It is available on-line at: http://www.users.csbsju.edu/~mewing/sym/bambi.html
