The main characters are Bambi, a white-tailed deer; his parents (the Great Prince of the forest and his unnamed mother); his friends Thumper (a pink-nosed rabbit); and Flower (a skunk); and his childhood friend and future mate, Faline.
Thumper is a young, comical rabbit and is also a well-known inhabitant of the forest. Despite being mistaken for a female by viewers, he is actually male.
In the heart of the forest, Bambi takes his first wobbly steps and sets out to explore his new world with his friends: a lovable rabbit called Thumper and a bashful skunk named Flower.
After being saved from Man's dogs by his father, Bambi learns that it wasn't his mother that he heard, but a tool used by Man to make a deer noise. On their way home, Bambi asks his father if his mother is ever coming back, and the Great Prince sadly answers no, meaning that Bambi's mother is dead.
During the hunt where Bambi's mother is killed, an injured Gobo is taken by a hunter and eventually tamed. He later returns to the forest, fearless of Man, and is subsequently killed by another hunter.
Trivia. Flower is often mistaken for a female due to his name, high pitched voice, and appearance, specifically his eyelashes. Like many animals, Flower eats more to gain body fat for hibernation during the winter. In Bambi II, Flower has a fear of turtles, known as chelonaphobia.
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 Great Prince did eventually die, passing on his title of the Great Prince of the Forest to Bambi as he left to die alone in his den. His retirement occurred on the same day his twin grandchildren, Geno and Gurri were born.
But then Bambi sticks his head into the flower patch and comes nose to nose with a skunk. Bambi, quick to impress Thumper, mistakenly calls him a flower.
In the original book that Bambi was based on, Ronno was said to have been one of the young princes of the forest, alongside Bambi and another deer named Karus. In the midquel, Ronno tries to force Faline to leave with him, but Bambi beats Ronno in a fight, just like he did in the first movie, when they were adults.
His real name is unknown, as is much information regarding his family. Sometime later, presumably in the month of April, he was in a flower patch when he met Bambi, who mistakenly gave him the nickname "Flower" while he was learning to talk, and the nickname stuck with him. He also met Bambi's friend, Thumper.
According to all of the research I have done, Bambi's mother is unnamed. Thumper is his rabbit friend, Flower is the skunk and Faline is his childhood friend and eventual mate. Hope this helps.
She was shot by a hunter. Disney adapted "Bambi" from a book titled "Bambi, A Life in the Woods" written by Felix Salten. His mother's name was never revealed in the movie, but she was shot by hunters when Bambi was young. Bambi's father broke the news to him when they reached safety.
After Bambi's mother is shot and killed by hunters, the Great Prince finds Bambi and tells him: "Your mother can't be with you anymore. Come, my son." He then takes a heartbroken Bambi to his den.
The depiction of 'Man' as a vicious and remorseless enemy of the forest animals provoked an outcry of anger among hunters after the film's release. And parents who watched this film as children will likely recall their devastation at Bambi's mother's death, plus other intense scenes.
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.
In the Disney animated film "Bambi," the name of Bambi's father is "The Great Prince of the Forest." He is often referred to simply as "The Great Prince." The character is a majestic and wise stag who serves as the protector and leader of the forest.
Thumper's sisters, also known by the individual names of Blossom, Violet, Milly, Frilly, Trixie, Daisy, Ria, and Tessie, are cream colored rabbits, the daughters of Papa and Mama Bunny and the sisters of Thumper.
