    Directed by Brian Pimental. Written by Alicia Kirk and Ben Gluck. Based on a story by Felix Salten.

## Dialogue

    [First Lines]
    Bambi: Mother! Mother! Moth– [gasps]
    Great Prince: Your mother can't be with you anymore.
    Friend Owl: Poor little fellow. So young to be without his mother. Well, if I can be of any help...
    Great Prince: Wait. I could use your help. Find me a suitable doe to raise Bambi.
    Friend Owl: Oh, yes. Of course, yes. Hmm. Food's so scarce. Does can barely feed themselves. Perhaps you could...
    Great Prince: Me?! You know as well as I do, a prince looks after the herd. Does care for the young.
    Friend Owl: But you are his father, and circumstances being what they are...
    Great Prince: [sighs] Until spring.
    Friend Owl: Oh, excellent! After all, who better to raise the young prince...than the Great Prince himself?
    Thumper's sisters: Big brother!
    Thumper: Oh, for crying out loud!
    Flower: Gosh, I hope the groundhog sees his shadow [yawns] so I can get back to hibernating.
    [Bambi has a dream in which he meets his mother]
    Bambi: I miss you so much.
    Bambi's Mother: Shh. There now. It's going to be all right. You'll see.
    Bambi: Why'd you have to go?
    Bambi's Mother: Everything in the forest has its season. Where one thing falls, another grows. Maybe not what was there before, but something new and wonderful all the same.
    Bambi: But I feel so alone.
    Bambi's Mother: I'm always with you. Even when you can't see me, I'm here.
    Thumper: I'm a mountain lion! Raarrgh!
    Bambi: Oh! Ah! I'm a bear! [bleats]
    Flower: I'm a turtle! Rrrrggh! [Bambi and Thumper look at him oddly] What? Turtles are soooo scary.
    Porcupine: That's the problem with these kids today. No respect. No respect at all. [to the Great Prince] What are you looking at, you big moose?
    Thumper: [sing song tone] You're too afraid! You cannot jump! Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah– [Bambi jumps] Nah, nah, nah, [looks up] AAAH!
    Bambi: Did I make it?
    Thumper: [muffled] Yep. You did it.
    Bambi: When will I get my antlers?
    Great Prince: Won't be long now if you're anything like I was.
    Bambi: Am I?
    Great Prince: Only one way to find out.
    [Bambi gets into an argument with his dad]
    Great Prince: Bambi, a prince does not-
    Bambi: That's all you care about, not about me!
    Great Prince: Don't you speak to me-
    Bambi: I WISH MOTHER WAS HERE INSTEAD OF YOU!! [runs off, upset]
    Friend Owl: Oh, my, my, my. Well, I've certainly made a muddle of things.
    Great Prince: No, This is my fault. Bambi needs a mother. A prince should NOT be raising a child!
    Thumper: [after Bambi leaves to spend time with the Great Prince] Aww, Bambi. You never have time for us anymore.
    Faline: Yeah. Isn't it wonderful?
    [Last lines]
    Bambi: Hey, Dad. Where are we going today?
    Great Prince: We're already there.
    [They enter a glade]
    Bambi: Wow...I never even knew this was here.
    Great Prince: Beautiful, isn't it? This is...This is where I first met your mother.
    Bambi: Really?
    Great Prince: Yes. I was just about your age.
    Bambi: What were you like?
    Great Prince: Me? Well, let me think. [pauses; chuckles] Actually, I was a lot like you.
