![]() If Bond had actually fought like he did earlier, and STILL got B-slapped, and had a tougher time subduing them, that would have been a really satisfying scene. I wish they'd carried as much credibility as their personalities warranted. I have a hard time seeing this Bond who came off his best fight scene since FRWL getting B-slapped by these two acrobats, then immediately getting the upper hand in a swimming pool. I don't quite know what to think of Bambi & Thumper. They really are a Vaudeville act invading the spy world of James Bond.Ĭoming off OHMSS, I'd have liked a serious story as much as the next guy, but Wint & Kidd are part of the fun. It's taken some growing up and mellowing out for me, but I appreciate them. In a movie where nothing is sacred (not even Tracy), they're a perfect fit. The film is based on the 1923 Austrian novel Bambi, a Life in the Woods by Felix Salten, which traces the life of a deer from childhood to adulthood through the seasons. However, DAF was very deliberate in it's kitschy tone (if only all the Bond movies were as decisive.), and Mankiewicz saw the camp in such a concept and turned it up to 11. I understand where you're coming from, tim I love the way Fleming wrote the duo and I'd love to see them onscreen in their literary form (under different names, obviously). They are both very much together (with MR KIDD probably being the bitch). There is nothing ambiguous about their sexuality either. They completely interefere when on-screen and their trail of death is quite sick ("Mrs Whistler would be so proud"). Thoughts? I expect there's probably a huge Kidd/Wint appreciation society around here (I come in peace)! Not so much an appreciation society - more of a different take on the pair. Such an unworthy demise for this underrated duo. Shame to see these babe villains dunked in a paddling pool. The young adult version of Thumper also appears at the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts as a meetable character in Fantasyland and at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. He is known and named for his habit of thumping his left hind foot. Bambi and Thumper were both physically threatening, visually interesting, both with ironic names and that "ambiguous sexuality" that they seemed to be going with (and making a farce out of) with Kidd and Wint. Thumper is a fictional rabbit character from Disney 's animated films Bambi (1942) and Bambi II (2006). ![]() Bambi discovers a female for the first time.
