"Bambi" (1942) [5 of 9] - The 'REAL' Story Behind Bambi

In some of the material I picked up at auction were these short memo written by William Hosie (Publicity Department). In the memos, he talks about starting to generate publicity for "Bambi" six months before the release.

One of the concepts Hosie proposes are potential stories about the author's childhood and how his experiences with a bully show up in Bambi. You certainly think of Bambi in a different light after reading his notes...!

Bambi And The Bully!
