The Old Stag, better known by the title of The Great Prince of the Forest, is Bambi's father. He was featured in the 1942 film, Bambi and had a larger role in its 2006 midquel, Bambi II.
Man is the unseen main antagonist of the 1942 Disney animated feature film Bambi. He is the hunter who killed Bambi's mother, a doing which is widely acknowledged as one of the most infamous and upsetting acts of villainy in any Disney film.
After he walks away, Bambi asks his mother why everyone was still when he came on the meadow, and she explains that everyone respects him, because he's the oldest living deer, and he's very brave and very wise. That's why he's known as the Great Prince of the Forest.
He befriends an enthusiastic young rabbit, Thumper; a sweet-tempered skunk, Flower; and a female fawn named Faline. After the death of his mother the following spring, he and Faline fall in love, but their relationship is tested by a rival deer, by a pack of hunting dogs, and, finally, by the forest fire.
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's father wasn't just there for him emotionally. When Man accidentally set the forest ablaze, the Old Stag found his wounded son just in time. He remained by his side and forced him to get up mere seconds before fire engulfed the area.
Belle, also known as Princess Belle is the fraternal twin sister of Bambi, the daughter of the Great Prince of the Forest and their mother and one of the princesses of the forest and one of the title characters of Belle and Bambi.
Bambi is a charming girl's name of Italian origin. A diminutive of the Italian word bambino, which means “child,” Bambi has fewer letters but a lot of character.
Bambi's father, the great prince of the forest, is what hunters would consider a trophy buck. He is a four-pointer that could score between 150-175 points on the Boone and Crockett scale, according to official scorers from the Inland Northwest Wildlife Council.
However, unlike most Disney sequels, “Bambi II” exists for a reason, it has the necessary purposes of exploring Bambi's grief over his mother, and showing Bambi bonding with his royal father.
The 1942 Disney classic sees Bambi's mother murdered by poachers, leaving the fawn to fend for himself. However, the classic movie has a happy ending, with Bambi becoming the new Great Prince of the Forest.
An upcoming live-action remake of Disney's 1942 animated classic Bambi will be updated to appeal to a modern audience, but a mere suggestion that the movie might back off its famously sad scene—the death of Bambi's mother— caused right-wing critics to pounce out of fear the movie will be too “woke.”
Bambi Richardson is introducing her baby girl to the world. The Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star, 35, welcomed her third child, daughter Cali Richardson, with her rapper husband Lil Scrappy (real name Darryl Raynard Richardson III) on Sunday, July 25. Baby Cali weighed 6 lbs., 13 oz., and measured 19½ inches at birth.
Trivia. In the original novel, which Bambi is based on, Faline had a twin brother named Gobo and she was actually one of Bambi's cousins. Her mother, Ena, was also Bambi's maternal aunt.
Even though the animals in Bambi do speak, dialogue is used sparingly in the film. In fact, only about 950 total words are spoken throughout the movie. Walt explained the importance of limiting the dialogue, saying, “We were striving for fewer words because we wanted the action and the music to carry it.”
Friend Owl, whose proper name seems to be Wise Old "W. O." Owl, is an owl residing in the forest. He is something of a mentor to Bambi, Thumper, and Flower, advising them regarding romantic relationships once they become adults.
Ronno is a close enemy of Bambi, alongside the hunter. Ronno is not a very kind deer. When he is older, he challenges Bambi to fight because he hates him and wants to mate with Faline, whom he had a crush on since childhood.
Faline is a female deer and one of the deuteragonists of Bambi. She is the daughter of Ena and an unknown buck. First shown as a fawn and later as a young adult doe, she is Bambi's love interest and eventual mate.
