‘Bambi’ – Twitterpated

Did you forget there’s a sequence in “Bambi” devoted entirely to the sexual awakening of three male characters? The movie’s animals call this becoming “twitterpated.” Flower’s twitterpation is the most awkward. When a pretty female skunk kisses him, he turns bright pink (flushed with blood, perhaps) and goes stiff as a board all over, including his tail. You don’t need a diagram to understand what that symbolizes.
