You just made me think of the episode of "Friends" when Phoebe finds out that her grandmother didn't let her know that Bambi's mother died or that Old Yeller gets shot in the end. On "The View" recently, Elisabeth Haselbeck announced that she tore out the page in "Babar" where the hunters kill his mother.
