Disney character half the time in a new bib (5)

I believe the answer is:

bambi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'disney character' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'time in a new bib' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 'am'.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'a new' indicates an anagram.
'bib' with letters rearranged gives 'bbi'.
'am' inserted into 'bbi' is 'BAMBI'.

'half the' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bambi that I've seen before include "film star" , "Animated creature" , "D [Disney] made it" , "Disney character" , "Walt Disney's young fawn" .)
