Bambi (1942) - full transcript
The animated story of Bambi, a young deer hailed as the 'Prince of the Forest' at his birth. As Bambi grows, he makes friends with the other animals of the forest, learns the skills needed to survive, and even finds love. One day, however, the hunters come, and Bambi must learn to be as brave as his father if he is to lead the other deer to safety.
Love is a song that never ends
Life may be swift and fleeting
Hope may die
Yet love's beautiful music
Comes each day like the dawn
Love is a song that never ends
One simple theme repeating
Like the voice of a heavenly choir
Love's sweet music flows on
Like the voice of a heavenly choir
Love's sweet music flows on

Did the young prince fall down?
- Is he hurt?
- No, he's all right.
He doesn't walk very good, does he?
Thumper.
Yes, Mama?
What did your father
tell you this morning?
If you can't say something nice...
don't say nothing at all.
Come on, Bambi, get up. Try again.
Come on, get up. Get up, Bambi.

No, that's not a bird.
That's a butterfly.

Purty.
Flower!
Me?
No, no.

He can call me a

I don't mind.
Purty! Purty flower!
Oh...

I think I better go home now.

Mother, what we going to do today?
I'm going to take
you to the meadow.
Meadow? What's the meadow?
It's a very wonderful place.
Then why haven't we
been there before?
You weren't big enough.
- Mother, you know what?
- What?
We're not the only
deer in the forest.
- Where did you hear that?
- Thumper told me.
Well, he's right.
There are many deer in
the forest besides us.
Then why don't I ever see them?
- You will, sometime.
- On the meadow?
Perhaps.
Hush now.
We're almost there.
- The meadow!
- Wait!
Bambi, wait!
You must never rush
out on the meadow.
There might be danger.
Out there, we're unprotected.
The meadow is wide and open,
and there are no trees
or bushes to hide us.
So we have to be very careful.
Wait here.
I'll go out first. And if the
meadow is safe, I'll call you.
Come on, Bambi. It's all right.
Come on.
Good morning, Prince Bambi.
Good morning, young prince.
Hello. What ya eatin'?
- Clover.
- It's awfully good.
It's delicious.
Why don't you try some?
No, no, not that green stuff.
Just eat the blossoms.
That's the good stuff.
Thumper.
- Yes, Mama?
- What did your father tell you?
About what?
About eating the blossoms
and leaving the greens?
Oh, that one.
Eating greens is a special treat.
It makes long ears
and great big feet.
But it sure is awful stuff to eat.
I made that last part up myself.
Watch out.
Watch out.
That's little Faline.
He's kind of bashful,
isn't he, Mama?
Well, maybe he wouldn't
be if you'd say hello.
Hello, Bambi.
I said hello.
Well, aren't you
going to answer her?
You're not afraid, are you?
Well, then, go ahead.
Go on, say hello.
Hello.
You!
He stopped and looked at me.
Yes, I know.
Why was everyone still when
he came on the meadow?
Everyone respects him.
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.
Faline!
Bambi!
Mother!
Bambi!
Bambi!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
Come on out, Bambi.
Come on.
It's safe now.
We don't have to hide any longer.
What happened, Mother?
Why did we all run?
Man... was in the forest.
Mother, look! What's
all that white stuff?
Why, it's snow.
- Snow?
- Yes.
Winter has come.
Hiya, Bambi.
Watch what I can do.
Whoo!
Come on! It's all right!
Look!
The water's stiff.
Yippee!
Some fun, huh, Bambi?
Come on, get up. Like this.
No, no.
Kinda wobbly, aren't you?
Got to watch both ends
at the same time.
Guess you better unwind it.
Arghh!
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up, Flower!
Is it spring yet?
No. Winter's just started.
What ya doin'? Hibernatin'?
Uh-huh.
What do you want to do that for?
All us flowers sleep in the winter.
Well... good night.
Winter sure is long, isn't it?
It seems long.
But it won't last forever.
I'm awful hungry, Mother.
Yes, I know.
Bambi.
Bambi, come here.
Look.
New spring grass.
Bambi. Quick!
The thicket!
Faster! Faster, Bambi!
Don't look back! Keep running!
Keep running!
We made it!
We made it, Mother!
We...
Mother!
Mother!
Mother, where are you?!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
Your mother can't be
with you anymore.
Come.
My son.
Let's sing a gay
little spring song
This is the season to sing
So I'd like to suggest
That we all do our best
And warble a song about spring
Spring, spring, spring
Let's get together and sing
Let's sing a gay
little spring song
Just like the bird on the wing
Things always seem right
When you're cheerful and bright
So let's get together and sing
Sing, sing, sing
Let's sing a song about spring
Let's twitter and tweet
Like the birdies in May
Get into the mood
And be merry today
Forget all your troubles
And warble away...
Wait!
Oh, what now?
Hey! Hey!
Stop that racket!
Scat! Shoo! Shoo!
Let's sing a song about spring
I'll fix 'em.
There. I guess...
that'll teach 'em.
Oh, what's the use?
This is the season to sing
Same thing every spring.
Tweet-tweet! Tweet-tweet!
Tweet-tweet! Tweet-tweet!
Love's sweet song.
Hm! Pain in the pin
feathers, I call it.
Stop it!
Get out of here. All of you.
And you, too!
Hello, Friend Owl.
Don't you remember me?
Why, it... it's the young prince.
Bambi!
My, my, how you've changed.
Turn round there.
Let me look at you.
I see you've traded in your
spots for a pair of antlers.
You know, just the other day I
was talking to myself about you.
And we were wondering
what had become of you.
Hello, Bambi!
Remember me?
Thumper!
Right-o!
Hi, fellas.
Flower.
Yeah.
Well, what's the matter with them?
Why are they acting that way?
Why, don't you know?
They're twitterpated.
- Twitterpated?
- Yes.
Nearly everybody gets
twitterpated in the spring time.
For example...
you're walking along,
minding your own business,
you're looking neither to
the left nor to the right,
when all of a sudden...
you run smack into a pretty face.
You begin to get weak in the knees.
Your head's in a whirl.
And then you feel
light as a feather.
And before you know it,
you're walking on air.
And then you know what?
You're knocked for a loop.
And you completely lose your head.
Gosh, that's awful.
- Gee whiz.
- Terrible.
And that ain't all.
It can happen to anybody.
So you'd better be careful.
It could happen to
you, and you, and...
Yes, it could even happen to you.
Well, it's not going
to happen to me.
- Me neither.
- Me neither.
Ha! Twitterpated!
Oh...
Ahem.
Oh.
Hello, Bambi.
Don't you remember me?
I'm Faline.
Bambi.
Bambi.
Bambi!
I bring you a song
And I sing as I go
For I want you to know
That I'm looking for romance
I bring you a song
In the hope that you'll see
When you're looking at me
That I'm looking for love
I'm seeking that glow
Only found when you're
young and it's May
Only found on that wonderful day
When all longing is through
I'm seeking that glow
Only found when
a thrill is complete
Only found when two
hearts gently beat
To the strains of a waltz
That's both tender and new
I bring you a song
For I'm seeking romance
You're by my side
There's a moon up above
It shines with a light
That's so mellow and bright
It's easy to see
That tonight we shall fall in love
I bring you a song
For I'm seeking romance
And you
It is Man.
He is here again.
There are many this time.
We must go deep into the forest.
Hurry! Follow me!
Faline!
Bambi.
Bambi, where are you?
Bambi!
Bambi!
Faline!
Faline!
Faline!
Listen.
- He's coming!
- Hush!
Be quiet.
- He's coming closer.
- Be calm. Don't get excited.
- We better fly.
- No. No, don't fly.
Whatever you do, don't fly.
He's almost here! I can't
stand it any longer!
Bambi! Bambi!
Faline!
Bambi!
Bambi!
Quick, Faline! Jump!
Get up, Bambi.
Get up!
You must get up.
Get up!
Get up!
Now... come with me.
Bambi.
Hoo!
Wake up! Wake up, Friend Owl.
Wake up, Friend Owl.
Oh, what now?
Hey, what's going on around here?
- It's happened.
- Happened?
Yes. In the thicket.
Hurry up, Bambi.
Yes, Papa. I'm coming.
Oh. Well.
Look.
- Two of them.
- Oh!
Well, I don't believe I've ever seen
a more likely looking pair of fawns.
Prince Bambi ought
to be mighty proud.

We must go deep into the forest.
Hurry! Follow me!
Faline!
Bambi.
Bambi, where are you?
Bambi!
Bambi!
Faline!
Faline!
Faline!
Listen.
- He's coming!
- Hush!
Be quiet.
- He's coming closer.
- Be calm. Don't get excited.
- We better fly.
- No. No, don't fly.
Whatever you do, don't fly.
He's almost here! I can't
stand it any longer!
Bambi! Bambi!
Faline!
Bambi!
Bambi!
Quick, Faline! Jump!
Get up, Bambi.
Get up!
You must get up.
Get up!
Get up!
Now... come with me.
Bambi.
Hoo!
Wake up! Wake up, Friend Owl.
Wake up, Friend Owl.
Oh, what now?
Hey, what's going on around here?
- It's happened.
- Happened?
Yes. In the thicket.
Hurry up, Bambi.
Yes, Papa. I'm coming.
Oh. Well.
Look.
- Two of them.
- Oh!
Well, I don't believe I've ever seen
a more likely looking pair of fawns.
Prince Bambi ought
to be mighty proud.
Love is a song that never ends
One simple theme repeating
Like the voice
Of a heavenly choir
Love's sweet music
Flows on
