PLOT SUMMARY

Bambi grazes in an idyllic meadow, unaware that something large is approaching. The results are predictably tragic for the little deer.

CAPSULE REVIEW

Surprisingly, given that nothing much actually happens until the very last second, this is a serioualy funny micro-movie. The sense of inevitability just makes the final tragedy all the more hilarious. It's cult status is, in this case, well deserved.
