They are warned of "twitterpation" by Friend Owl and that they will eventually fall in love, but the trio views the concept of romance with scorn.

Taking pity on his abandoned son, the Great Prince leads Bambi home as he reveals to him that he is his father. As they run off, his mother is shot and killed by the hunter, leaving the little fawn mournful and alone. One day his mother takes him to find food when Man shows up again. Bambi is briefly separated from his mother during that time but is escorted to her by the Great Prince as the three of them make it back in the forest just as Man fires his gun.ĭuring Bambi's first winter, he and Thumper play in the snow while Flower hibernates. As the Great Prince wanders uphill, he discovers the human hunter, named "Man" by all the animals, is coming and rushes down to the meadow to get everyone to safety. One day out in a meadow, Bambi briefly sees the Great Prince but does not realize that he is his father. Curious and inquisitive, Bambi frequently asks about the world around him and is cautioned about the dangers of life as a forest creature by his loving mother. The fawn is befriended by an eager, energetic male rabbit named Thumper, who helps to teach him to walk and speak, a young male skunk he mistakenly calls "Flower" (who is so flattered, he keeps the name) and a female fawn named Faline.

PlotĪ doe gives birth to a male fawn named Bambi, who will one day take over the position of Great Prince of the Forest, who guards the woodland creatures. In January 2020, it was announced that a photorealistic computer-animated remake was in development. In December 2011, the film was added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically and aesthetically significant". In June 2008, the American Film Institute presented a list of its " 10 Top 10"-the best ten films in each of ten classic American film genres-after polling over 1,500 people from the creative community. The film received three Academy Award nominations: Best Sound ( Sam Slyfield), Best Song (for "Love Is a Song" sung by Donald Novis) and Original Music Score. Illustrator Maurice "Jake" Day convinced Disney that the mule deer had large "mule-like" ears and were more common to western North America but that the white-tail deer was more recognized throughout America. In the original book, Bambi was a roe deer, a species native to Europe but Disney decided to base the character on a mule deer from Arrowhead, California. The main characters are Bambi, a white-tailed deer his parents (the Great Prince of the forest and his unnamed mother) his friends Thumper (a pink-nosed rabbit) and Flower (a skunk) and his childhood friend and future mate, Faline. The film was produced by Walt Disney and directed by David Hand and a team of sequence directors. It is based on the 1923 novel Bambi, a Life in the Woods by Austrian author and hunter Felix Salten. So, not a bad career for a snarky little woodland creature.Bambi is a 1942 American animated drama film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by RKO Radio Pictures. In Who Framed Roger Rabbit, he’s said to be Roger’s uncle. As a result, he was rewarded with a whole “Disney Bunnies” line of merchandise, coloring books, and storybooks. In a larger sense, Thumper helped Bambi by providing comic relief and by helping to establish a tradition in Disney cartoons of talking animal sidekicks who have more personality that the protagonists. He teaches him how to say a few words and even how to ice skate (though, as Thumper himself notes, Bambi on ice is “kinda wobbly”). (In Disney’s Bambi, Thumper was voiced by Peter Behn, who was four years old at the time.) He has to be reminded by his parents to heed the maxim now known as Thumper’s Law: “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all.” Still, he takes an interest in mentoring the deer. He also a penchant for childish insults, but then, he’s not that much older than the fawn. Bambi’s friend has that annoying habit of pounding his left hind foot on the ground (hence his name).
