Bambi (1989 game)

Bambi is a 2D platformer game based on the 1942 movie of the same name. It was developed and published by Capcom, and was planned to be released on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989 to promote the film's 1988 re-release and it's home video debut. However, it was eventually cancelled so that Capcom would focus on making games based on shows from The Disney Afternoon, especially Ducktales.

Plot
Same as the film.

Reception
In June 2007, a prototype of the game was leaked onto the internet, showing that it was about 90% completed before it got cancelled. Contained in the prototype is an unfinished final level, an early ending, and missing graphics.

Trivia

 * Even though it didn't get released at all, Disney decided to try 2 more times to make a Bambi video game under their belt, both times being unsuccessful, and eventually causing Disney to lose interest in making another Bambi video game without displeasing them until 2005, when Disney, along with Sierra, released Bambi: The Fawn's Journey, and became a big success.
