## Plot

The film begins with a long camera shot through the forest at dawn, and all the animals waking up. Suddenly, a blue bird spreads the news about something. Thumper (a young rabbit) wakes up an old owl named "Friend Owl", who asks what has happened. Thumper and his sisters tell him that the new prince is born. Friend Owl flies off to the area where the young prince is born, along with many other animals. Upon reaching the area, the animals come across the mother doe and her newborn fawn lying by her side. The animals congratulate her. She then urges her new fawn to wake up and see everybody. He wakes up and takes a good, long look at all the animals surrounding him. At first, he is frightened by Friend Owl, who gives a friendly hoot but then manages to make a smile. He then attempts to get up, but due to him being very young, he can hardly keep his balance. Thumper comments that he is sort of unstable, to which his mother scolds him. The young prince then falls backward back into his resting spot, causing some laughter and delight among the creatures. The fawn then lies back into his resting area and gives a big yawn. Friend Owl says to the creatures that it may be time for them to leave. They all leave, except for Thumper, who asks the fawn's mother what his name will be. She replies that she will name him "Bambi." Thumper, liking the name, says goodbye to her and runs off to join his family. Happy with the name, Bambi's mother snuggles up with her sleeping fawn. The camera then pulls up from the small bush to reveal Bambi's father, the Great Prince of the Forest, looking down at them from a nearby cliff ledge. **A few days later, Bambi and his mother are taking a walk through the forest. Bambi falls behind a little, getting distracted by some greeting animal neighbors. When trying to catch up to his mother, he gets stuck on a tall, thick blade of grass and slips. Upon seeing him fall, Thumper and his family run over to the young prince, asking his mother if he is alright. She replies that he is doing fine. Bambi then gets back up onto his feet and can continue walking, with Thumper and his sisters journeying alongside him. They soon come across several birds eating some berries. Thumper then teaches Bambi how to say "bird", who does not get it right the first time, but with some encouragement from his sisters, he is able to say it, shouting out on the top of his lungs, "Bird!" Happy with his success, Thumper and his sisters run off to tell Bambi's mother and their mother what the young prince's first word was, while Bambi runs off chasing a butterfly (thinking it to be a bird). Thumper tells him that it is not a bird but a butterfly. The butterfly flies off, leaving Bambi to think that the huge yellow flower in front of him was the butterfly he saw. Thumper tells him that it is a flower. Bambi tries smelling the flowers of the small field but comes face to face with a young skunk. Bambi calls him a flower, which leaves Thumper rolling over his backside with laughter. The skunk, however, says that he's fine with being called a flower, which makes the baby fawn very happy.** The day grows late, and it is time for Thumper to return home, leaving Bambi back with his mother. Off in the distance, a thunderstorm is gathering and coming closer. He is then awakened by the noise of some nearby raindrops, which then form a small brook flowing right past his resting area. Soon, the whole forest is alive with raindrops dropping about. The creatures living in the forest run for shelter from the falling water. Suddenly, the violent part of the storm comes when lightning flashes about in a bright flash of light and produces many loud noises, leaving Bambi frightened. Soon, the storm departs, and the sunrise off in the distance is slowly seen. Bambi, now asleep next to his mother's side, snuggles up with his mother as the last drops of the storm fall into the nearby overflowing brook. **The next scene opens up a few weeks later when Bambi is now capable of speaking. His mother is going to take him to the meadow. Bambi, who has never been to the meadow before, is eager to go, but his mother stops and tells him that the meadow is also a dangerous place. She tells him to stay behind the thicket while she looks around to see if the place is safe. After a long moment of silence, the wide-field appears to be safe. Bambi then runs out and tries to catch up with his mother, who runs off fast, playing with him. After a while, Bambi walks off and almost steps on a frog. He follows the frog over to a small pool of water, which the frog jumps in. Bambi, however, is left out on the shore, staring at his never before seen reflection. Suddenly, another reflection appears to his side. He looks up at the unknown source, which turns out to be another fawn, a female fawn. Feeling frightened of the young fawn's presence, Bambi runs back up to his mother for protection. The young fawn's name turns out to be Faline. Bambi's mother encourages Bambi to say hello to her. Having no choice, he greets her. Faline suddenly breaks out in giggles and starts acting hyperactive. Gradually, the two of them start playing a small game of tag.** Suddenly, from out of the surrounding forest, a huge herd of bucks appears from nowhere. Faline runs away in fear while Bambi remains, filled with excitement while watching the bucks bound across the field. He even tries running alongside them but ends up almost getting trampled. Suddenly, they all stop. Wondering why Bambi walks over. The reason appears in front of him. It is no other than the Great Prince. After a brief look at him, the Great Prince walks off, leaving him behind. He then asks his mother why everyone stood still when the mysterious stag walked by. She tells him that he is respected by all. Thus explaining why he is called "The Great Prince of the Forest". **The next part follows the Great Prince during his walk through the forest. Suddenly, the forest's silence is broken when a flock of crows flies past, yelling and spreading out an alarm of certain danger. The Great Prince senses this danger and runs back towards the meadow. Once there, he warns the herd. Sensing the danger as well, the herd and all the other creatures begin to run towards the forest. Soon, the whole meadow is full of retreating frightened animals, running for their lives. Faline and Thumper unite with their mothers and escape, but Bambi gets left behind, searching for his mother. His mother is looking for him as well. Suddenly, the meadow is completely empty. Though everything is still, something dangerous and deadly is still approaching. Sensing the danger but still frightened, Bambi is left out in the open, still searching for his mother. Suddenly, the Great Prince appears from behind him and escorts him and his mother to the safety of the forest. Off in the distance, a loud gunshot is heard. A few minutes later, Bambi's mother exits the entrance of their den and looks around. Seeing no danger, she tells Bambi that everything is alright. Bambi asks her what had happened and why everyone ran. After a moment of silence, his mother replies, "Man... was in the forest."** During the winter, Bambi discovers snow. While Bambi looks around the snow, he sees Thumper sliding on the ice. He teaches Bambi how to slide on the ice. After that, they meet Flower, who is trying to hibernate. After a harsh winter, Bambi and his mother go to the meadow and discover a patch of grass, heralding the arrival of spring. As they eat, his mother senses a hunter and orders Bambi to flee. As they run, many gunshots are heard. When Bambi arrives at their thicket, he discovers that his mother is no longer with him. He wanders off in the forest, calling for her, but she does not answer. His father appears in front of him and says, "your mother can't be with you anymore," revealing to Bambi that his mother is dead, then leads him away. **Years later, a teen Bambi is reunited with Thumper and Flower as the animals around them begin pairing up with mates. Though they resolve not to be "twitterpated" which Friend Owl taught them like the other animals in love, Thumper and Flower each leave with newly found mates. Bambi is disgusted until he runs into Faline, and they become a couple. As they happily dance and flirt through the woods, a slightly older buck named Ronno appears and tries to force Faline to go with him. Bambi and Ronno then begin to have a duel, each of them competing for Faline. Though he initially struggles, Bambi's rage gives him the strength to defeat Ronno and push him off a cliff and into a river below.** That night, Bambi is awoken by the smell of smoke. His father explains that Man has returned to the forest and that there are many of them now, and they must go deep into the forest. Bambi immediately searches for Faline, but she is being chased by some hunting dogs. Bambi finds her in time to fights them off, allowing Faline to escape. With her safe, he runs but is shot as he leaps over a ravine. The Great Prince finds him there and urges him back to his feet. Together, they escape the forest fire (which the hunters have started) and go to a small island in a lake where the other animals, including Faline, have taken refuge. **At the end of the film, Thumper and Flower, now fathers, and all the other animals, including Friend Owl, went into the thicket for a big surprise. Faline has recently given birth to twin fawns: a boy named Geno and a girl named Gurri. Bambi stands watch on a cliff, and the Great Prince silently turns and moves away from Bambi's place, as he allows him to take his place. And the New Great Prince looks on proudly watching his newborn twins, just as his father did to him at his own birth.**

A doe gives birth to a fawn named Bambi, who will one day take over the position of Great Prince of the Forest, a title currently held by Bambi's father, who guards the woodland creatures against the dangers of hunters. The fawn is quickly befriended by an eager, energetic rabbit named Thumper, who helps to teach him to walk and speak. Bambi grows up very attached to his mother, with whom he spends most of his time. He soon makes other friends, including a young skunk named Flower and a female fawn named Faline. 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. One day out in a meadow, Bambi briefly sees The Great Prince but does not realize that he is his father. 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. 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. **During Bambi's first winter, he and Thumper play in the snow while Flower hibernates. One day his mother takes him along to find food when Man shows up again. As they escape, his mother is shot and killed by the hunter, leaving the little fawn mournful and alone. Taking pity on his abandoned son, the Great Prince leads Bambi home as he reveals to him that he is his father. Next year, Bambi has matured into a young stag, and his childhood friends have also entered young adulthood. They are warned of "twitterpation" by Friend Owl and that they will eventually fall in love, although the trio views the concept of romance with scorn. However, Thumper and Flower soon encounter their beautiful romantic counterparts and abandon their former thoughts on love. Bambi himself encounters Faline as a beautiful doe. However, their courtship is quickly interrupted and challenged by a belligerent older stag named Ronno, who attempts to force Faline away from Bambi. Bambi successfully manages to defeat Ronno in battle and earn the rights to the doe's affections.** Bambi is awakened afterward by the smell of smoke; he follows it and discovers it leads to a hunter camp. His father warns Bambi that Man has returned with more hunters. Although Bambi is separated from Faline in the turmoil and searches for her along the way, the two flee to safety. He soon finds her cornered by Man's vicious hunting dogs, which he manages to ward off. Bambi escapes them and is shot by Man, but survives. Meanwhile, at the "Man's" camp, their campfire suddenly spreads into the forest, resulting in a wildfire from which the forest residents flee in fear. Bambi, his father, Faline, and the forest animals manage to reach shelter on a riverbank. The following spring, Faline gives birth to twins under Bambi's watchful eye as the new Great Prince of the Forest.

**All the animals of the forest are waking up save Friend Owl, who is just returning to the tree he live in, presumably after a long night of hunting, and plans to get some sleep. Suddenly, the birds begin singing loudly, spreading some important. A young rabbit named Thumper and his sisters excitedly awake Friend Owl and explain to him that the a new prince has been. The animals of the forest convene at a den, where they see a doe with her Bambi lying by her side. The animals congratulate her, and the fawn awakes. He is at first frightened by Friend Owl but quickly warms up to him. He then attempts to stand on his own but struggles to maintain his balance. Thumper innocently points out his wobbliness and is scolded by his mother for it. Tired, the fawn lies down and yawns, an action which Friend Owl interprets as a sign for him and the other animals to leave the fawn and his mother in peace. They all leave, except for Thumper, who asks the fawn's mother what her newborn son's name will be. She replies that she will name him "Bambi." Thumper agrees to the name and runs off to join us family. The happy doe snuggles her fawn as a large stag watches from a nearby peak.** Not long later, Bambi and his mother walk through the forest, where Bambi falls after trying to catch up with his mother. Thumper and his family arrive and check on Bambi, who recovers quickly from his fall. Bambi, Thumper, and Thumper's sisters then run through the forest playfully. They eventually come across several birds eating some berries. Thumper then teaches Bambi how to say the word "bird". Though he struggles at first, Bambi eventually learns the word. Happy with his success, Thumper and his sisters run off to tell Bambi's mother and their mother what the young prince's first word was. Meanwhile, Bambi chases a butterfly, believing it to be a bird. Thumper returns to Bambi and explains to him that the "bird" he was chasing was a butterfly. Bambi then childishly assumes that a large yellow flower is also a butterfly, prompting Thumper to teach him the word "flower". While Bambi is sniffing the flowers, a young skunk pops out of the flower patch. Bambi automatically assumes that he is a flower as well, which leaves Thumper rolling over his backside with laughter. The skunk, however, says that he's fine with being called a flower, which makes the baby fawn very happy. **As the day of playing and learning comes to an end, thunder is heard. Thumper leaves Bambi to return home, while Bambi heads to his den as well. Just as he is falling asleep, Bambi is awakened by the noise of raindrops falling on and around him. The rain initially falls slowly, but it slowly starts raining faster. Soon, the whole forest is alive as the rain falls everywhere and the creatures run for shelter. Suddenly, the the storm becomes violent as bright flashes of lightning are seen and the roar of thunder is heard, frightening Bambi. Eventually, the storm departs, and the sun rises as Bambi, now asleep by his mother's side, snuggles with his mother and the last bits of rain fall off the leaves and into a puddle.** Sometime later, when Bambi is more capable of conversation, his mother takes him to the meadow and warns him of its danger when he tries to recklessly run out onto it. She tells him to stay behind a thicket while she looks around to see if it is safe. After a few seconds of silently scouting the meadow, Bambi's mother determines that it is safe and calls to her son to join her. The two run and play together in the meadow. After a while, Bambi spots Thumper and his family and leaves his mother to join them. Thumper teaches Bambi about clover. When Bambi tries to eat some of the clover, he is greeted by a bullfrog. Curious, Bambi follows the frog over to a small pool of water, which the frog jumps in. Bambi stares into the water and at his never before seen reflection. Suddenly, the reflection of another fawn appears in the water beside him. He looks up at the source of the reflection, a female fawn, and is frightened by it. He runs back to his mother for protection. His mother introduces him to the other fawn, whose name is Faline, and encourages him to say hello to her. He reluctantly does so, and Faline breaks out in giggles and becomes hyperactive. The two engage in a game of tag. **As their game concludes, Bambi and Faline see a herd of young bucks running and fighting. Faline runs away in fear, but Bambi remains, filled with excitement as he watches the bucks bound across the field. He even tries to run alongside them but is too slow and is almost trampled. Suddenly, the bucks stop running and stand still in reverence to a large, majestic stag approaching them. The stag briefly looks at Bambi without saying a word to him, and then continues with his regal march through the meadow. Bambi asks his mother why all of the deer stood still when the mysterious stag walked by, and she explains that the stag is in fact the oldest and wisest deer in the forest, the Great Prince of the Forest.** The Great Prince leaves the meadow and wanders into the forest. Suddenly, the silence of the woods is broken when a flock of crows fly past and loudly warn of impending danger. The Great Prince runs back towards the meadow and warns the herd. All of the animals on the meadow scramble to leave the open field and make it back to the safety of the trees. In the chaos, Bambi is separated from his mother and begins searching for her desperately. His mother likewise looks for him. The Great Prince approaches Bambi and quietly and quickly escorts both him and his mother to safety. As the three flee into the woods, a loud gunshot is heard. The Great Prince vanishes into the forest. Bambi and his mother are left alone, and she explains to him that the great danger from which they were fleeing was Man. **During the winter, an adolescent Bambi discovers snow. While exploring the wintry wonderland that the forest has become, he sees Thumper sliding on ice. Thumper teaches him how to slide on ice. Bambi is a bit clumsy, and he and Thumper crash into the snow, where they hear the snores of their friend Flower, who is hibernating for the winter. For the rest of winter, Bambi and his mother struggle to find food. They strip bark off of trees just to survive, but Bambi is still left hungry.** As winter begins to end, Bambi's mother finds a patch of grass. She and Bambi begin eating from it, but as they do, she senses that Man is near and orders Bambi to flee. As Bambi runs away, he hears many gunshots. He arrives at the den safely but realizes that his mother is not with him. He wanders off in the forest calling for her. The Great Prince suddenly appears in front of him and informs him that his mother has died. He then leads him away and reveals himself to be Bambi's father. **Sometime later, Bambi is now a young stag, and he reunites with Friend Owl, Thumper, and Flower. As it is spring, many of the animals around them are finding mates. Friend Owl discourages Bambi and his friends from ever becoming "twitterpated", and they agree to never fall in love. However, Thumper and Flower struggle to keep this promise, quickly falling in love with a young female rabbit and a young female skunk, respectively. Bambi is at first disgusted with seeing his friends "twitterpated", but this changes as he reunites with a now-grown Faline. The two quickly begin flirting with each other as they happily dance through the woods. Their flirty romp through the ends when an older buck appears and tries to violently force Faline away from Bambi. Bambi attacks the buck. Bambi initially struggles in his fight against the older buck, but he eventually gaines the upper hand and pushes him off a cliff and into a river below. Afterwards, Bambi and Faline continue their tryst through the forest.** That night, Bambi is awoken by the smell of smoke. His father, the Great Prince, explains that Man has returned to the forest, that there are many others with Man, and they must flee even deeper into the forest. Bambi tries to find Faline, but she is being chased by Man's hunting dogs. As soon as he finds her, he bravely Bambi attacks the dogs, allowing Faline to escape. Many of the dogs are killed or injured in a rock slide caused by Bambi. He flees the scene as fast he can but is shot as he leaps over a ravine. As he lies there, a fire caused by Man's carelessness begins to spread. The Great Prince finds him and urges him to get back on his feet despite his injury. Together, they escape the forest fire and go to a small island in a lake where the other animals, including Faline, have taken refuge. **Later, the forest has recovered from the fire. Thumper and Flower, now fathers, Friend Owl, and many other animals visit a den as word spreads through the forest that a new prince has been born. In the den is Faline, who has recently given birth to twin fawns, Geno and Gurri. As all the animals congratulate Faline on her new arrivals, Bambi is standing on a nearby cliff, watching the scene. His father is standing beside him. The Great Prince looks at him briefly and then silently turns away and leaves. Bambi steps up and takes his father's place, signifying that he is the new Great Prince of the Forest.**

A little fawn called Bambi is born in the woods. In his first days of life, he explores the forest around him. He makes a friend named Thumper. Thumper is a rabbit. Bambi learns new words every day. *Bird* is his first word. He learns *butterflies*, *rain*, and *meadow*. He sees his father (the Great Prince of the Forest) for the first time. The movie first shows Bambi's childhood, such as a walk in the woods, a day in the meadow, and his first experience seeing snow. **The most famous part of the movie is the death of Bambi's mother. Bambi and his mother have trouble finding food. One day, Bambi's mother finds a patch of grass, and they eat. The audience hears scary music (Man's theme). Bambi's mother knows there is danger. She tells Bambi to run. As they run across an icy field, she screams "Faster! Faster, Bambi! Don't look back! Keep running! Keep running!". Bambi runs away, but there is a gunshot. Bambi gets back to the den but finds that his mother is not there. He walks around, and desperately calls for her. He meets his father, the Great Prince, who tells him that "your mother can't be with you anymore". Bambi follows his father into the woods, taking one last look behind him.** The next spring, Bambi and his friends are young adults. They meet a wise old owl, called Friend Owl. The owl tells them of the dangers of falling in love. They make vows not to fall in love. However, they fall in love at first sight very soon. Bambi falls in love with his old childhood friend Faline. He happily dances in the clouds until another deer gets in the way. He tries to get Faline to go with him, but Bambi does not want to. He gets into a fight with this deer. Bambi wins. He goes on a date with Faline. The Man comes back and makes more trouble for the animals. Bambi saves Faline from some angry dogs. **A forest fire comes and nearly destroys everything. Bambi has trouble getting up, but his father helps him. They both make it to an island where the animals have got together. The next spring, everyone goes to see Bambi and Faline's new fawns (baby deer). The wise owl says that Bambi should be proud. The Great Prince steps down from his current place as king, and Bambi is left standing proudly. A chorus sings the song from the beginning, *Love is a Song.***

## Characters

### Characters from Bambi

* Bambi, voiced by Bobby Stewart, Donnie Dunagan, Hardie Albright, and Alexander Gould, is the main character in the story. In the first movie, he is often cute and innocent. In the second movie, he feels sad because of the loss of his mother. Bambi tries to live without her. In the second movie he tries very hard to win the attention, support, and love he needs from his father.
* Thumper, voiced by Peter Behn, Tim Davis, and Brendon Baerg, is Bambi's main best friend. In the first movie, he helps Bambi learn new things, like "bird", "flower", and "butterfly". In Bambi II, he helps Bambi try to impress his father. Thumper also spends much of his time running away from his four sisters as he finds them annoying.
* Flower, voiced by Stan Alexander, Sterling Holloway, and Nicky Jones, is a bashful skunk and Bambi's other best friend. In Bambi II, Flower also helps Bambi try to impress his father and is scared of turtles.
* The Great Prince of the Forest is Bambi's father. He is voiced by Fred Shields in *Bambi* and Patrick Stewart in *Bambi II*. In the first movie, the Great Prince is not around very much. In Bambi II, he feels that a father is not what Bambi needs, and he tries to send Bambi away rather than teach him the ways of ruling the forest. Things are not helped much by the fact that he is used to a quiet life. In spite of this, he learns how to become a loving father and friend to Bambi.
* Faline, voiced by Cammie King, Ann Gillis, and Andrea Bowen, is one of Bambi's childhood friends. She later grows up to become his wife. In Bambi II, her effect on Bambi has changed little since the first movie. Whenever she is around, Bambi mostly becomes tongue-tied and very clumsy. However, when Ronno tries to make Faline leave, Bambi stands up for her, in what looks like a back-to-back screen-shot of a very similar scene in the first film. Also, just like in *Bambi*, Ronno and Bambi have a fight, only this time much shorter. The scene is just like the scene in the first film, and the fight is broken only after Mena comes in. Ronno, still angry, bumps into Bambi causing Mena to fall into one of Man's traps. Then Bambi has to fight a pack of dogs just like he did in the first film.
* Friend Owl, voiced by Will Wright in *Bambi* and Keith Ferguson, in *Bambi II*, is a friendly but easy to annoy old owl. Thumper and his baby sisters are always waking him up going "Wake Up! Wake Up, Friend Owl!" He will respond going "Oh, NOW what?!" (played for laughs). In Bambi II, Friend Owl is asked by the Great Prince to find a suitable doe to raise Bambi.
* Bambi's mother, voiced by Paula Winslowe, is Bambi's main parent in the first movie. Her death made many people upset. In Bambi II, she is voiced by Carolyn Hennes, and is seen in a dream sequence in which she talks to Bambi.
* The Hunter is a poacher who tries to shoot Bambi. He fails, but he instead shoots Bambi's mother, beginning the most well-known scene of the movie. He is the bad guy of the movie, even though he is never seen.

### Characters from Bambi II

* Ronno, voiced by Anthony Ghannam, fights Bambi for the love of Faline and is generally full of annoyance. According to production notes, Ronno was the unnamed deer who had a fight with Bambi in the original movie.
* The Groundhog, voiced by Brian Pimental (who also directed Bambi II), is the focus of the forest's Groundhog Day celebrations. On February 2 each year, the Groundhog comes out into the forest square and says whether or not winter will last a few more weeks. He hates the job and is scared of his own shadow. He says that "my nerves just can't take it any more."
* The Porcupine, voiced by Brian Pimental (again, director), is a less important character who is very protective of his land. As the forest's troll, he takes joy in keeping animals away from his log home. When Bambi first meets the Porcupine, he leaves humiliated and in pain. When Bambi meets the Porcupine again, the Porcupine ends up being used to fight off the dogs. The Porcupine also causes Bambi to accidentally kiss Faline at the end of the movie.
* Mena, voiced by Cree Summer (who also voiced Kida in Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire), is the doe Friend Owl finds as a mother for Bambi, in order to let the Great Prince keep the forest safe without being distracted. Friend Owl found her just when Bambi and the Great Prince were beginning to bond, nearly ruining the relationship. She grew up with Bambi's mother.
