The film Bambi where she was shot by Man,originally had a deleted seen that was suppost to show her deseased body but was not put into the film... i guess because parents would be shocked and children would be crying,not only because it's sad,but because they would've got back in return something like "How come something that HORRID would be put into a children's classic?" there IS a history of that almost happening. Thank goodness that didn't proceed.
