Christian and Emma examine the beautiful yet bleak Bambi a few months shy of the movie's 80th anniversary, as well as its source material's centennial. Do the film's story, characters, and songs hit the bullseye or miss the mark? Does Christian's synopsis of the film contain more sex and violence than the actual film has? And thanks to this film, what's Emma's new favorite bird?
