Bambi Meets Godzilla is a 1969 black-and-white animated short student film produced entirely by Marv Newland.
[2] The opening credits, consisting of roles filled by Newland himself,[3] scroll over an image of the fawn Bambi serenely grazing on a field of grass and flowers while the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's recording of William Tell's Ranz des Vaches plays in the background.
After the credits, Bambi looks up to see Godzilla's foot coming down, squashing him flat (set to the final chord of the Beatles' "A Day in the Life").
In 1973, Bambi Meets Godzilla was paired with John Magnuson's Thank You Mask Man by Randy Finley and Specialty Films in Seattle and released widely under the title The King of Hearts and His Loyal Short Subjects.
[6] The short was also included on VHS home video releases of Godzilla 1985 and Fantastic Animation Festival.
