Jaws vs. Bambi

Not in the sense of who would kill who...

I was watching Disney's Bambi with my niece tonight and remembered that the theme for the unseen evil "men" characters is an ascending 3 note motif similar to the the ascending 2 note motif used for the (largely unseen for the first part of the film) shark in Jaws. Does anyone know if Williams has ever mentioned being influenced by the approach that Frank Churchill et. al. took in Bambi?

They are definitely very similar. I remember seeing a while ago a YouTube poster comparing the two pieces, and asserting that Williams was influenced by Bambi, but there wasn't any proof to this claim.
