Talk:Thumper (Bambi)

message: I come with this proposal to merge this character into the film's article mainly because it lacks notability. The section about the missils is mainly about Bambi and not Thumper himself, and the name indicates nothing as Thumper is not a name exclusive to this character, a similar case to that of the character of Dumbo and the air-sea rescue mission of the same name. With no actual appearances in popular culture and no coverage by reliable secondary sources, it can be perflectly merged into the film's article. --LoЯd ۞pεth 07:54, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Thumper is extremely curious and wise beyond his years.  He has four younger sisters.  His sisters love playing with him, but he prefers the company of his friend, Bambi.  He takes pride in teaching Bambi new things such as walking, talking and eating.   He loves to tease and joke around.  Thumper is usually very cheerful.  The only times Thumper has ever been truly upset is when he thought he was never going to see Bambi again and when his mother yelled at him.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sprinkles1621 (talk • contribs) 09:49, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

message: The Air Power article cited made absolutely no connection between the code name for project MX-795 (Project Thumper) and the movie character. See: http://www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil/airchronicles/apj/apj87/win87/papp.html
Secret project names were picked for their neutrality (not revealing anything).
For example:
MX-770 Navajo
MX-775A Snark
MX-775B Boojum
MX-776 Rascal
MX-794 Wizard
MX-795 Thumper
MX-802 Dragonfly
MX-1018 Project Tom-Tom
The assertion that the USAF space based antiballistic missile program was named for the movie character Bambi is even more absurd, BAMBI was an acronym for BAllistic Missile Boost Intercept. http://www.cfr.org/missile-defense/chronology-national-missile-defense-programs/p10443
Another Bell/USAF program of the era was BOMI, from BOmber MIssile. http://astronautix.com/craft/bomi.htm

message: If Thumper's mother is Mrs Hare and father is Mr Hare, is thumper not a hare, as opposed to a rabbit?
Watched Bambi on Disney+ and it refers to the parents as "Hare" in the subtitles.
Admittedly he doesn't look particularly hare-like. 82.39.12.25 (talk) 23:08, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: Thumper (Bambi) →  –  To be WP:CONSISTENT, we had a discussion at WikiProject Disney on what titles should be for Disney character and we came up with a flow chart. Since there is no other article about a character named Thumper, this needs to be changed to (character), unless I am missing something. ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 18:56, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

text: *Oppose That flowchart is in direct contradiction to the Wikipedia guidelines at WP:FILMCHARACTERS. Since Thumper is mainly a Bambi character, the disambiguation would be (Bambi) and not (character). I would suggest discarding it entirely and following the Manual of Style rather than inventing your own rules.  ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 02:23, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
