Bambi grows up very attached to his mother, with whom he spends most of his time. The fawn is befriended by an eager, energetic male rabbit named Thumper, who helps to teach him to walk and speak, a young male skunk he mistakenly calls "Flower" (who is so flattered, he keeps the name) and a female fawn named 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.
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. Fred Shields voiced the Great Prince in the first film and Sir Patrick Stewart voiced him in the midquel.

Thumper is a fictional rabbit character from Disney's animated film Bambi (1942). He is known and named for his habit of thumping his left hind foot.
