However, adults who know that "Bambi" came first - over 50 years before "The Lion King," in fact - will have the record straight of who actually copied who.SEE ALSO: 12 Things We Bet You Don't Know About Rabbits "The Lion King" is no doubt a more popular film to modern audiences, and it's likely that a child might be familiar with "The Lion King" before watching "Bambi," not the other way around. Some kids may identify the similarities if they've seen both films, and they may even attribute the duplicate narrative in the reverse order. It's not plagiarism when you're copying something from your own studio, it seems. When initially pitching "The Lion King" in the 1990s - according to the movie's home video bonus material - filmmakers referred to it as "Bambi in Africa" to help animators wrap their minds around what to aim for (via Forbes).

Though they insist it won't happen to them, Flower, Thumper, and Bambi all soon become twitterpated themselves as they encounter a female skunk, rabbit, and deer, respectively. Then you feel light as a feather and before you know it, you're walking on air." So basically, "twitterpated" is when an animal gets, well, excited. He explains to them, "all of a sudden, you run smack into a pretty face. If only going by Friend Owl's own definition, being "twitterpated" is strictly a physical fixation and has nothing to do with anyone's actual relational compatibility.
