\"Bambi\"<\/p>\n

Despite its reputation as being a Disney classic and receiving three Academy Award Nominations back when it originally debuted in 1942, Bambi<\/a> doesn’t get a whole lot of love and attention in the theme parks. Sure, you can find a couple of topiaries during the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival, but there isn’t a Bambi attraction or a Bambi character meet and greet (I’m guessing most kids would not be interested in having their picture taken with a 6 foot tall deer).\u00a0 <\/span>There’s no restaurant themed after the movie, which considering what the menu would consist of, I can completely understand.<\/p>\n

So what do you make for a Bambi themed dinner?\u00a0 <\/span>There are a couple of options.\u00a0 <\/span>One is to embrace the woodland way of life and serve strips of bark with a side of meadow grass.\u00a0 <\/span>Not exactly an appealing menu.\u00a0 <\/span>The other option is to try to forget that the characters have personalities and just make the first thing that comes to mind: animals.\u00a0 <\/span>I have a collection of woodland creature cookie cutters and it just seemed like the best plan would be to make sugar cookies. Cookies count as dinner, right?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While dessert for dinner seems like a good idea, it does leave you hungry later on.\u00a0 <\/span>I gave in and did what I had hoped to avoid; making venison.\u00a0 <\/span>A friend had given me ground venison when I mentioned that I was looking for something to make for Bambi night.\u00a0 <\/span>I wasn’t sure how I felt about cooking it.\u00a0 <\/span>We don’t really have game meat.\u00a0 <\/span>Plus, there’s something slightly disconcerting knowing that you are having the protagonist for dinner.\u00a0 <\/span>Maybe it is only bothersome because it is Bambi, but it definitely threw my kids for a loop.<\/p>\n\n

They enjoyed dinner, they just weren’t exactly thrilled to find out what dinner was. I did my best to mask what it was by turning the ground venison into meatballs.\u00a0 <\/span>A little grated parmesan, some Italian seasoning, toss in an egg, and no one would know it wasn’t an ordinary meatball. Oh, they knew.\u00a0 <\/span>I don’t think they will be requesting a repeat of the meal despite enjoying it while they had it.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Now their concerned as to what we will be making for future movies.\u00a0 <\/span>Will I be serving them lion steaks or fox burgers? Is no character safe?<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Who knows where this crazy Disney movie meal challenge will take us. I certainly have no intention of serving up main characters on a weekly basis.\u00a0 <\/span>But if my kids have concerns, I’ll just tell them what Thumper’s mom would tell them, “If you can’t say somethin’ nice, don”t say nothin’ at all”.<\/p>\n
