    Simple, beautiful and thought provoking. One of the best short films ever made!

    Short but BRILLIANT!

    Bambi Meets Godzilla! The title outlines the plot of this very short 90-second cartoon quite efficiently, thus reiteration would be redundant. It's basically 10 seconds of actual action sandwiched between the opening and closing credits.


    This is a classic cartoon unm

    ...( read more)atchable for its sheer audacity and imagination. I mean, who would've thought anyone would ever make a movie about a Walt Disney character coming across the mammoth creature of myth!? It's just totally out of the blue and random, and in turn utterly brilliant. The artist behind this exceptional creation apparently made this little film for a school project when his originally-planned live action movie was not going to be completed on time.


    In 1994 this hilarious gem of a film was voted as #38 of the 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time by members of the animation field. This was very well deserved. Surely you can spare 90 seconds of your time watching this concoction of subtle comedy ("Bambi's wardrobe designed by...") and just good old-fashioned laughs. One shot, one main gag. Nuff said.

    In 1999, another artist created a sequel - Son of Bambi Meets Godzilla.

    This short film is very funny. In fact, the credits are the funniest part! They are written with a subtle humor that, after taking up most of the 90 second run time, builds up to a simple yet darkly funny event.

    It has no colour, which adds to the the effect that it is an old ...( read more)30's/40's cartoon and gives it a nice, simple look.

    The funny story (if it is really long enough to call it that) is pure genious in its form of originality and the actual idea. I mean, Newland thought of something funny and random and made it into a great short animation.

    This is pure, simple fun!

    Note: 5 Stars is too much for such a short piece. Hence the 4.5 rating. However, it is still a work of brilliance.
