This charming Wheaties cereal mask features Bambi, the gentle fawn first introduced in Walt Disney’s 1942 animated classic.

Bambi, with his wide eyes and youthful innocence, was one of the most recognizable characters in the set and tied into Disney’s continuing reissues of the film in theaters during the early 1950s.
