Plot[change | change source]

In the opening credits, Bambi is seen grazing while Call to the Dairy Cows from Gioachino Rossini's opera William Tell (1829) plays in the background. After the credits, Bambi looks up to see Godzilla's foot coming down on him, crushing him (set to "A Day in the Life" by The Beatles). After this, the closing credits play over an image of Godzilla's foot.
