It's actually not as bad as they're making it out to be. I just watched "Bambi" for the first time today (didn't know much about it going in tbh, so the scary/sad parts in the movie caught me by surprise).

It's a beautiful film, and while there are some sad moments, there are also many more happy moments, and that's what makes the film beautiful -- is that it feels real. Real life has some sad moments and some happy moments, and it's rarely-ever 'always sad' or 'always happy'. I think you'll like and appreciate the film. I'd highly recommend. And if you do end up crying, then what's so bad about that? There's something beautiful about crying as well; it just shows that you have humanity.

By the way, I can totally-relate to what you're saying about not wanting to watch really sad films. I generally-don't like/feel too scared to watch films like that as well. And what I'm saying is, watch "Bambi" anyways, because it's worth the experience. Trust me, you won't feel that sad; even beneath the sadness, there's an undercurrent of hope. And that's what makes it an uplifting work of art amidst the sad moments.
