After his mother is shot and killed by a hunter, Bambi is greeted by his father the Great Prince, who takes him to the den. The Great Prince asks Friend Owl to find a doe to raise Bambi, but Friend Owl tells him that due to the harsh winter, the does can barely feed themselves.
Bambi is shot too, but survives thanks to the old prince, a majestic stag who treats him like a son (and may well be his father). But then, sadly, the old prince also dies, leaving Bambi utterly bereft. “Bambi does not survive well, at the end. He is alone, totally alone …
A cute movie with a little fawn, and a funny bunny rabbit and a cute little squirrel and it's in a pretty forest and, then, BAM: fire, hunters, parental death, and, zoom, Bambi's now an adult because his dad told him he has to grow up.
The death of Bambi's mom is often cited as one of the saddest movie moments of all time, and it's easy to see why. That's a lot of blood for an animated movie marketed to kids! According to this book, even Walt Disney's daughter objected to Bambi's mother dying.
Bambi, the animated film about a young deer, and its sequel Bambi II released 63 years and 178 days apart from each other, making it the longest time gap between a film and its sequel. The original Disney film released in 1942, while the sequel was made available direct-to-video in 2006.
Ronno is the secondary antagonist of Disney's 5th full-length animated feature film Bambi (which is based on the 1923 Austrian novel Bambi, a Life in the Woods by the late Felix Salten), and the main antagonist of its 2006 midquel Bambi II. He is another close enemy of Bambi, alongside Man.
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.
According to one source, the fight ended when a badly-injured Ronno surrendered to Bambi, while another source shows that the fight ended when Bambi threw Ronno off of a cliff and into a river. Bambi won the fight and became Faline's mate.
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.
During Bambi's first winter, he and Thumper play in the snow while Flower hibernates. One day his mother takes him to find food when Man shows up again. As they run off, his mother is shot and killed by the hunter, leaving the little fawn mournful and alone.
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.”
Faline – Bambi's love interest and also, in the book, his cousin – appears in both, but she and Bambi are estranged by the end of the original, not living as a happy family as Disney has it.
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.
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.
He's also a would-be bully. Ronno gradually becomes jealous of Bambi, because of Bambi's status as the young prince of the forest, and because despite Ronno's hubris, it slowly becomes clear he will always be second-best to his younger, more timid rival.
He is known and named for his habit of thumping his left hind foot. The young adult version of Thumper also appears at the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts as a meetable character in Fantasyland and at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

It explains what happens between after Bambi's mother's death and before he grows up, and focuses on Bambi and his father, The Great Prince Of The Forest. I found it entertaining, not wandering off the original's storyline too much, and overall really good. It's better than you expect it to be.
Bambi (1942) was released in 1942, Bambi 2: The Great Prince of the Forest (2006) in 2006, sixty-four years later and the Fantasias were 59 years apart. Even though the title is "Bambi II", this movie is not an actual follow-up to the first movie.
Following the direct-to-video plundering of Walt's original characters and their “starring” in a new generation of pointless and uncalled for sequels, the DisneyTooners come out to bat for the last bastion of traditional, hand drawn animation at the Studio that built its name on such entertainment with Bambi II, a ...
