Bambi Meets Godzilla is the title of a US 1969 cartoon created entirely by Marv Newland.

Only two minutes long, this cartoon is considered a classic by animation fans. Most of the movie consists of the opening credits, with the "Ranz Des Vaches", from Gioacchino Rossini's William Tell, playing in the background. At the end, Bambi looks up to see Godzilla's foot coming down, crushing Bambi as the light music switches to a loud, elongated piano chord (possibly the final note of "A Day in the Life" by The Beatles).

The stamping foot of Godzilla may be related to the famous stamping foot used during the opening credits of Monty Python's Flying Circus, as both debuted in the same year.

This cartoon prefaced Godzilla 1985 on New World Pictures' VHS release.

Two sequels were later made without Newland's involvement: Son of Bambi Meets Godzilla and Bambi's Revenge.
