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 before)

'time in a new bib' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 'am'.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'a new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bib' is an anagram of 'bbi'.
'am' inserted inside 'bbi' is 'BAMBI'.

'half the' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of 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" .)
