Question for you people with kids... Or maybe no kids?

[Brian Ski]

I remember a Christmas show where Rudolph (or was it Bambi?) was lost in a snow storm. And their mother kept them warm and died in the cold snow. But by doing that it protected Rudolph. Nobody I talked to remembers it. Some remember the mother being shot by hunters. (I have no idea on that one) Anyone remember the show?

Bambi's mom was shot by hunters

Are you confusing Rudolph with Luke nestled in the warm belly of a tauntaun?

Otherwise, what a horrible Christmas story.

I've never seen or heard of that version of Rudolph.

I do not recall this about Rudolph and to old to remember how bambi went. A movie my son hasn't watched... yet.

My son is 28 now when he was 5 my mom got him the Bambi book for a birthday or something. He never got it . I threw it in the garbage and told her “ it is propaganda “. You should have seen the look on her and my wife’s face.

We all laugh about it now…

I vaguely remember it. Maybe it was some kind of hallucination??

No kids, never seen either of those movies or read the books, but never read/saw Old Yeller cause I know how it ends.

JMO, keep Christmas happy for your kids. Best to you, and Merry Christmas…..

I saw Bambi when it was new in the movie theater.

My kids are mid to late 30’s. I don’t remember watching anything like that.

Below is a link to a Reddit question where someone asked the same thing. Sounds like the Mandela Effect strikes again. If you haven’t heard of the Mandela Effect, look it up. Interesting.

I think you're mixing both movies together .
There's a scene in Rudolph where he's lost in a snow storm, and Bambi's mom dies

The main thing I remember about the Rudolph show was that Bumbles bounce.

This is what I'mgoing with as well. Bambi's mom dies protecting him, Rudolph got lost in a snow storm and like slept in a Taun taun to stay warm thanks to Han.

I may be crazy, but I remember... The movie was called Nestor the long eared donkey.

This thing has been haunting me for a month.

(I found this stuck in the que from last night. I replied and must not have sent. ) It seems like it is not politically correct and don't see it on tv anymore.

Yep, Nestor the Long Eared Christmas Donkey...

That night, soldiers arrive from the Roman Empire in need of donkeys. After removing the socks from Nestor’s ears, the soldiers think that the owner of the stable, Olaf, was trying to trick them. Olaf offers to give them Nestor for free, but the soldiers instead take all of the other donkeys for free but leave Nestor. Enraged, Olaf throws Nestor out into a blizzard, where Nestor's mother sacrifices her life to shield him from the cold.

Tell it to my doctor.... While sitting here sorting out drugs!!! Even more confusing when they switch drug manufacturers and the drugs change their shape!!

Good lord! Really? Nestor sounds sorta familiar, but I’m glad I don’t remember ever seeing the movie.
