 Statue of Bambi in Berlin, 2013
The Bambi,[1] often simply called Bambi Awards and stylised as BAMBI, are presented annually by Hubert Burda Media to recognise excellence in international media and television "with vision and creativity who affected and inspired the German public that year,"[2] both domestic and foreign.[2] First held in 1948, they are the oldest media awards in Germany. The award is named after Felix Salten's book Bambi, A Life in the Woods and its statuettes are in the shape of the novel's titular fawn character.[2] They were originally made of porcelain, until 1958 when the organizers switched to using gold, with the casting done by the art casting workshop of Ernst Strassacker in Süßen.
Marika Rökk and Jean Marais were the first recipients of the award.[2] Frequent awardees include Heinz Rühmann (12), Peter Alexander and O. W. Fischer (10), Sophia Loren (9), Maria Schell (8). Rock Hudson (6), Franz Beckenbauer, Pierre Brice (5) and Céline Dion (3).[3] The awards are judged by Hubert Burda and the editors-in-chief at Hubert Burda Media.[2]
In 2002 Michael Jackson won the Pop Artist of the Millennium Award.
Award recipients in 2009 included Colombian singer/songwriter and choreographer Shakira, actress Kate Winslet, Austrian actor Christoph Waltz, and Giorgio Armani, whose niece Roberta Armani accepted the award for him.[4] Shakira performed her single "Did It Again" before accepting her award.
History[edit]




Franz Beckenbauer, Leipzig, 27 November 1990
The Bambi originated in 1948. The first prize winners were the actors Jean Marais and Marika Rökk, as well as the DEFA-director Prof. Kurt Maetzig. His movie Ehe im Schatten (Marriage in the Shadows) was chosen for the best German movie. At the 60th jubilee of the Bambi in 2008, the co-founder of the DEFA, who celebrated his 100th birthday on 25 January 2011, received a duplicate of a porcelain Bambi, because the original had been broken.
The award was first a fawn made of white porcelain, which was produced in the Majolika Manufaktur in Karlsruhe by the sculptor Else Bach (1899-1952). Since 1958 the golden-bronze deer has been produced in the art foundry Ernst Strassacker in the Swabian village of Süßen. The record-holders for this award are Heinz Rühmann, Peter Alexander and O. W. Fischer, and Sophia Loren as well as Maria Schell.
According to Marika Rökks' daughter, the name Bambi is attributed to her, because she said to her mother, after she brought the prize home: "Oh, you brought a Bambi for me," inspired by the book Bambi by Felix Salten or the 1942 Disney movie with the same name.
The Bambi awards were presented in Karlsruhe between 1948 and 1964. Afterwards the Bambis were given in other cities, such as Berlin and Offenburg. In 2003 and 2004, the awards ceremony took place in the Theater am Hafen in Hamburg. 2006 the Bambi was awarded in the Museum of the Mercedes-Benz-Weltin in Stuttgart, moderated by entertainer Harald Schmidt and model Eva Padberg. In 2007, the ceremony was held in the Congress Center in Düsseldorf (CCD), and in 2008 in Offenburg. Both events were presented by Harald Schmidt. The awards in 2009 and 2010 were performed in the Metropolis-Hall in Potsdam-Babelsberg.

Bambi effect
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

For the bisexual slang, see Bambi effect (slang).
"The Bambi effect" is a term used anecdotally or in editorial media that refers to objections against the killing of charismatic megafauna (animals that are perceived as "cute" or "adorable", such as deer or dolphins), while there may be little or no objection to the suffering of organisms that are perceived as somehow repulsive or less than desirable, such as spiders or an endangered fungus[1] and other woodland creatures.[2]
Referring to a form of purported anthropomorphism,[3] the term is inspired by Walt Disney's animated film Bambi, where an emotional highpoint is the death of the lead character's mother at the hands of the film's villain, a hunter known only as "Man".[4][5][6]

Effects[edit]
Some commentators[who?] have credited this purported effect with increasing public awareness of the dangers of pollution, for instance in the case of the fate of sea otters after the Exxon Valdez oil spill,[7] and in the public interest in scaring birds off airfields in non-lethal ways.[8] In the case of invasive species, perceived cuteness may help thwart efforts to eradicate non-native intruders, such as the white fallow deer in Point Reyes, California.[9] The effect is also cited as the anthropomorphic quality of modern cinema: most people in modern Western civilization are not familiar with wildlife, other than "through TV or cinema, where fuzzy little critters discuss romance, self-determination and loyalty like pals over a cup of coffee", which has led to influences on public policy and the image of businesses cast in movies as polluting or otherwise harming the environment.[10]
The effect was also cited in the events following record snowfall in the U.S. state of Colorado in 2007, when food for mule deer, pronghorns, and elk became so scarce that they began to starve; the Colorado Department of Wildlife was inundated with requests and offers to help the animals from citizens, and ended up spending almost $2 million feeding hungry wildlife.[11] Among some butchers, the Bambi effect (and in general, Walt Disney's anthropomorphic characters) is credited with fueling the vegetarian movement;[12] chefs use the term to describe customers' lack of interest in, for instance, whole fish: "It's the Bambi effect – [customers] don't want to see eyes looking at them".[13]
Human attraction[edit]
A secondary meaning is sometimes found in psychology, where the term may be used to refer to a perceived tendency in "humans...to find animals attractive that have characteristics similar to those [of] human babies".[14] It is also claimed that this tendency is at work in human sexuality,[15] since, according to some studies,[16] most people prefer 'babylike' features in their sexual partners, that is, "a large rounded forehead, large eyes, and rounded features".

Bambi Meets Godzilla (1969) is a cartoon created entirely by Marv Newland. Less than two minutes long, the film is a classic of animation—#38 in the book The 50 Greatest Cartoons (1994).
Newland was originally planning to do a live-action film; but, when he lost an essential magic hour shot, he drew this film in his room.

Plot[edit]
The opening credits scroll over an animated image of the character Bambi serenely grazing while the Call to the Dairy Cows from Rossini's opera William Tell (1829) plays in the background. After the credits, Bambi looks up to see Godzilla's giant foot coming down, squashing him flat (set to the final chord of The Beatles' "A Day in the Life" played at half-speed). After a moment, the closing credits scroll over the image of Godzilla's foot on top of a squished Bambi. At the very end, Godzilla's claws twitch once.
The bulk of the movie's running time is consumed in the opening credits, all of which name Marv Newland, including crediting Newland's parents for creating Marv. The closing credits give grateful acknowledgement to the city of Tokyo "for their help in obtaining Godzilla for this film".
Screenings and distribution[edit]
This cartoon prefaced Godzilla 1985 on some VHS releases. Two sequels were later made without Newland's involvement: Son of Bambi Meets Godzilla and Bambi's Revenge, giving Godzilla a hot foot.

Ike! Godman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Ike! Godman (行け！ゴッドマン?) (Go! Godman in North America) is a tokusatsu tv series by Toho. It ran from October 5, 1972 to April 10, 1973. This was Toho's first Kyodai Hero. It was pulled from reruns on September 28, 1973 and it was replaced by Ike! Greenman.
While on air Monday through Saturday, with only one or two episodes per week, each episode consisted of six (or three) parts and each part was five minutes long. The entire series ran for twenty-six episodes.
On every Monday (or Thursday), a monster appeared in a field outside of town. Children cried for help from Godman who then came from sky. He fought with the monster and he won on Saturday. There was no story at all, and wrestling between the rubber monsters and Godman was the only element of the show.
The content of the show was mostly ambient. Today, Ike! Godman, along with its sequel Ike! Greenman, are both seen as "one of the all-time dumbest tokusatsu shows" by Japanese net users around YouTube, 2ch, or Nico Nico Douga.
Aya Hirano, as Konata Izumi from the anime Lucky Star, sang this show's theme song on the Lucky Star music compilation CD.

Movie Monster Changes[edit]
The Toho movie monsters that appear in this series are not related to their theatrical counterparts in terms of continuity. The suits were changed since their appearance in the original movies.
Gabara, the Gargantuas, Tieborasu, Tsunzaurasu, Totosaurus, Akumon, and Tsurazuu later appeared in Ike! Greenman.
Gabara's suit is green instead of blue. He was also green in Greenman.
Some of the Toho suits were in really bad shape. The Gargantuas suits appear to be rotting (especially Gaira), despite the fact that both suits were repainted. They are also wearing new masks (with wigs).
The Gorosaurus costume is in such poor shape that the inner support seems to be deteriorating. It makes Gorosaurus' torso look like its caving in.
Kamoebas had a flatter head and darker color.
