"Happily ever after" really isn't explored in many fairy tales, which always led me to believe that it was just time for the movie to end. Even as a boy, I don't recall thinking that the budding relationship in the course of the story was necessarily going to continue on. I just figured that was the story and nothing that happened after was worth telling.
Because I don't think I ever developed an understanding of love and relationships based on some sort of "meet, kill a dragon, fall in love, happily ever after" formula, it wasn't there to apply to later relationships. Frank conversation with family and peers helped me understand relationships, as well as experience.
BTW, I know it's off topic, but I didn't know Bambi was male until after his mother died. Is anyone else in this boat or am I all alone on this one?
