Being a mere hunter, Man is not truly evil by human standards, but from the perspective of the animals whom the film follows, he might as well be the Devil. However, since he killed Bambi's mother, he is classed as a poacher, as it is illegal to hunt does and fawns in many parts of the United States.
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. Taking pity on his abandoned son, the Great Prince leads Bambi home as he reveals to him that he is his father.
Bambi is one of Disney's more traumatising films of our childhood, with the scene where his mother is shot by poachers considered one of the animation studio's most tear-jerking moments.
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.
Gaston readied his bow and arrow, but Bambi's mother heard him and she and Bambi ran for shelter as Gaston fired and missed. As the two deer continued to run, Gaston moved in closer and took out his blunderbuss. He fired several shots with his gun, killing Bambi's mom.
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.
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.
Friend Owl, whose proper name seems to be Wise Old "W. O." Friend 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.
Though he was always considered to be an unseen character, he is seen in the deleted scene after the forest fire, with an arm and his rifle. This image would be the only sight of Man and the first time when he is ever seen onscreen.
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. That's big enough to be a Washington record.
Father and son share a glance, and the Great Prince is happy that he lived long enough to become a grandfather. He then retires, leaving Bambi to become the new Great Prince of the Forest.
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.
Belle is a young doe who is shorter than her older twin brother. She has a light tan eye patches, muzzle and chest as well as a tan underbelly. She has tan brown fur as well as a darker brown tail and top of the head.
The moral was that the forest needed to be taken seriously and needed to be preserved so that animals didn't get hurt and/or use their homes. This moral even brought up the idea of Smokey Bear and his long line of PSAs which lasted for a long time, even showing on TV today.
A diminutive of the Italian word bambino, which means “child,” Bambi has fewer letters but a lot of character. Disney fans will love the connection this name has to the classic film Bambi, which follows the sweet deer Bambi, and his friends Thumper and Flower as they explore their forest home.
After he battles and defeats first Karus, then Ronno, Bambi and Faline fall in love with each other. They spend a great deal of time together. During this time, the Old Prince saves Bambi's life when he nearly runs towards a hunter imitating a doe's call.
Bambi, a Virginia (or white tailed) deer (Odocoileus virginianus), is called “The Young Prince of the Forest.” He's the offspring of a mated pair identified as “Mother and Father.” Father is “The Great Prince of the Forest” but initially has little to do with Bambi, an inveterate mama's boy.
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.”
No blood, but shocking. Several animals are shot by hunters and/or poachers but no blood is shown. There's a scene where another deer tries to steal Faline from Bambi so they fight.
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.
