Bambi eyes
Wide imploring look
Bambi eyes are wide, innocent-looking eyes, especially when used to appear vulnerable or to persuade.
The expression comes from the Disney animated deer, whose oversized eyes convey childlike innocence.
Someone giving you Bambi eyes is often trying to get something: She gave me those Bambi eyes and I couldn't say no.
The look suggests guileless appeal, whether genuine or calculated.
