According to animator and writer Mel Shaw (1914-2012), one reason for the production delays of the film was that that Walt Disney and his staff kept having ideas about new scenes and characters, spend time developing them, and then had to discard them because they did not really fit in the film. He described an example. A brief scene was originally set to have Bambi step on an ant hill and depict some disturbed ants. Then the staff started working on elaborate depictions of the damage done to the ant civilization and detailed plans for the ant characters. At the end it was decided that the entire scene was irrelevant to the plot and they discarded all work done for it.
