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.
“For of all the deer in the forest, not one has lived half so long. He's very brave and very wise. That's why he's known as the Great Prince of the Forest.” Bambi's dad, the Great Prince of the Forest, taught us some bad lessons when it comes to deer behavior.
The name "Bambi" was derived from the word "bambino" which is the Italian word for "child/little child" or "baby". The Italian translation for "little girl" or "baby girl" is "bambina".
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.
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.
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.
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. Fred Shields voiced the Great Prince in the first film and Sir Patrick Stewart voiced him in the midquel.
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.

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.

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.”
