BAMBI: Mother!
Mother!
(BAMBI GASPS)
GREAT PRINCE:
Your mother can't be
with you anymore.
Come.
Friend Owl.
Excuse me, sir.
I hope I'm not
intruding, but...
Well, I just had to come.
Poor little fellow.
So young to be
without his mother.
Well, if I can be
of any help...
Wait.
I could use
your help.
Find me a suitable doe
to raise Bambi.
Oh, yes.
Of course, yes.
Hmm. Food's so scarce.
Does can barely
feed themselves.
Perhaps you could...
Me? You know as well as I do,
a prince looks after the herd.
Does care for the young.
But you are his father,
and circumstances
being what they are...
(SIGHING)
Until spring.
Oh, excellent.
After all, who better
to raise the young prince
than the
Great Prince himself?
WOMAN:
♪ Under the snow,
beneath the frozen streams
♪ There is life
♪ You have to know
♪ When nature sleeps,
she dreams
(SQUEAKING)
♪ There is life
♪ And the colder the winter,
the warmer the spring
♪ The deeper the sorrow,
the more our hearts sing
♪ Even when you can't see it
♪ Inside everything
♪ There is life
(MUFFLED CHITTERING)
(CHIRPING)
♪ After the rain,
the sun will reappear
♪ There is life
♪ After the pain,
the joy will still be here
♪ There is life
♪ For it's out
of the darkness
that we learn to see
♪ And out of the silence
that songs come to be
♪ And all that we dream of
awaits patiently
♪ There is life
♪ There is life ♪
(CHITTERING ANGRILY)
(SNUFFLING)
(SNEEZES)
(GASPS)
(PANTING)
(CLEARING THROAT)
(GIGGLES)
Good morning.
Bambi, a prince awakens
before the forest does.
If you're late again,
I'll have no choice but to...
(STOMACH GROWLING)
What was that?
What was what?
(STOMACH GROWLING)
I guess
it was my stomach.
Then you should eat.
Oh, well...
I suppose
I should find you
something to eat.
Here.
(GASPS)
(GROANS) No, thank you.
Have you ever tried it?
Well, no.
Then how do you know
you don't like it
if you've never tried it?
Hmm?
Mmm. Mmm-hmm.
(SHUDDERING)
Come along. We have to
check on the other deer
in the South Wood.
(EXCLAIMS)
Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!
Bambi!
A prince does
not whoo-hoo.
He doesn't?
He certainly does not.
A prince maintains
control at all times.
Display dignity.
Walk with pride.
(BAMBI EXCLAIMING)
I'm okay!
(SIGHS)
(EXCLAIMING)
Cold! Cold!
One, two...
Two...
Two...
(GRUNTING)
(MUFFLED MUMBLING)
(LAUGHS)
(GASPS)
Whoa!
Don't you think
it'd be better if we
got a little closer?
The distance
makes it easier
to spot danger.
Hmm.
But it sure makes it
harder to play with them.
Play is a healthy part
of a young deer's
development.
Is that so?
Mmm-hmm.
Mother says so.
One time,
Mother and I
were out...
(SIGHS) Bambi.
A fawn came over
and wanted to play...
Bambi.
I think it's best
to leave the past
in the past.
A prince
does not look back,
only ahead.
Oh. Yes, sir.
Now, come. We still
have a lot of ground
to cover today.
Don't fall behind.
(GRUNTING)
Thumper!
Bambi!
Boy, am I glad
to see you.
What's wrong?
They've been
after me all morning.
Who has?
RABBITS:
Oh, big brother!
It's them!
(RABBITS GIGGLING)
(GASPS)
Hello, young prince.
Hello, young prince.
Oh. Hello.
Have you seen
Thumper around?
Uh-uh.
(GASPS)
(WHISPERING)
I think he's over there.
Look, look.
(ALL GIGGLING)
Oh, okay.
I guess we will be
leaving, then.
Gotcha!
(ALL GIGGLING)
Mama says
you're gonna take us
to see the groundhog.
What she says goes.
Well, she's not
the boss of me.
If I don't want to,
Mama can't make me.
(FOOT TAPPING)
Hi, Mama.
What did your
father tell you?
About what?
About playing
with your sisters.
Oh, that one.
A family that
plays together
stays together,
even if it means
taking your dumb sisters.
GREAT PRINCE: Bambi!
Coming! I gotta go.
But you can't go.
You can't leave me
with the girls.
Come on, Thumper.
You gotta take us
to see the groundhog.
(CLEARING THROAT)
(SIGHS)
Why don't you go
with your friends
to see the groundhog?
But I want to
stay with you.
Yes, well... (SIGHS)
I have to check on
the South Meadow,
and it's very far.
You go see the groundhog.
I'll meet you there later.
Oh. Okay.
I'll meet you.
Hey, Thumper,
wait for me!
You sit by me!
No, no!
Quiet!
First one there's
who I sit by.
Hooray!
It's gonna be me!
It's gonna be me!
Sheesh. I'm sure glad
your father let you come.
Oh. He understands.
He and I are best pals.
(FLOWER SNORING)
Wake up, Flower.
Wake up.
Come on, Flower.
You're gonna miss
the groundhog.
Gosh, I hope
the groundhog
sees his shadow,
(YAWNS)
so I can get back
to hibernating.
FRIEND OWL:
Attention, everyone.
Attention.
Everybody, gather round.
We'll be starting in
just a few moments,
yes. (CHUCKLES)
Now, there's plenty of room.
Ma'am, could you
just scoot over one?
Very nice.
(ALL EXCLAIM)
(CHUCKLING) Oh!
The young prince.
This is
a special occasion.
We decided
we'll all sit by you.
(SIGHING)
Greetings, greetings.
(CLEARING THROAT)
Each year
we gather round
to watch the groundhog
emerge from
his winter slumber,
for if he sees
his shadow...
RABBIT: It means
more winter!
Yes. But if he doesn't...
Spring is on its way!
(ALL GIGGLING)
Yes. (CLEARING THROAT)
Now, without any
further interruptions,
(ALL GASP)
the groundhog!
The groundhog!
(ALL GASPING)
(WHIMPERS)
(ALL MOANING)
Where's the groundhog?
Groundhog! Groundhog!
Groundhog! Groundhog!
Now, what seems
to be the problem?
GROUNDHOG: I'm afraid
to go out there.
I'll see my shadow.
Well, that's entirely
the point, isn't it?
I don't care.
(GROANS)
Must we go through
this every year?
(MUFFLED EXCLAMATION)
(ALL GIGGLING)
Hello, Bambi.
Hi, Faline.
(GIGGLING)
I almost didn't
recognize you.
Really?
I guess
it's 'cause my spots
are almost gone.
And my antlers
are coming in, too.
Can you see them?
Um... Well...
I don't see anything.
Well, I don't.
(GRUNTING)
(GROANS)
(EXCLAIMS)
Oh, well, yes.
The groundhog!
Why me?
This is the last year.
My nerves just can't
take it anymore.
(GASPING)
I see his shadow.
More winter.
More hibernating.
No shadow, no shadow.
Please, no shadow.
Please don't let
there be a shadow.
Please don't let
there be a shadow.
(GASPS) No shadow.
No shadow.
Oh, spring is here!
Spring is here!
(ALL CHEERING)
Whee!
♪ Oh, let's sing a gay
little spring song
♪ Let's get together
and sing ♪
(ALL HUMMING)
Oh, that song.
Oh, I'll never be
frightened again.
(GASPS)
Boo!
(SCREAMS)
(ALL EXCLAIM)
(GROANS)
(ALL GROANING)
(LAUGHING)
It looks like
I scared the shadow
right out of him.
Did you see
the look on his...
Hey! Hey, hey!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey!
Where's everybody going?
Forest on fire?
(RABBITS WHIMPER)
Who are you?
Name's Ronno,
and these are the boys,
Stab and Jab.
(GROANS)
Well, I hope
the three of you
have a nice day.
I wouldn't go that way
if I were you.
That's where
I saw a man.
(ALL GASPING)
You saw a man?
Uh-huh.
There I was,
out in the meadow.
Suddenly,
I heard this voice
luring me in.
"I'm here, I'm here."
See, man's got this stick
that can make his voice
sound like one of us.
But I'm way too
smart for that,
so I crept up on him,
real quiet.
Then bam!
I knocked him out
with my trusty antlers.
(GROANS)
(ALL LAUGHING)
That's quite a story.
Oh. You think so?
Mmm-hmm.
It's unbelievable.
Yeah. Unbelievable.
You calling me a liar?
BAMBI: No.
You wanna spar,
do you?
No!
Clobber him, Bambi.
(EXCLAIMS)
Bambi? Isn't that
a girl's name?
(LAUGHING)
Come on. Let's go.
Just a little,
friendly competition.
Ronno!
Coming, Mother.
Yeah. Maybe you
should get going.
Jeez, I was only
playing around
with him.
Isn't that right,
Bambi?
RONNO'S MOTHER: Ronno!
I'm coming!
Ma! How many times
do I have to tell you?
Don't bother me
when I'm trying to
make new friends.
Sorry, dear.
You big mama's boy!
Why don't you run home
to your mama?
You big old mama's boy!
MRS. RABBIT: Thumper!
Coming, Mama.
Gotta go.
See you, Bambi.
So tell me, what did
the groundhog see?
See you, Bambi.
Do you want us
to walk you home?
No. My father's
coming for me.
Well, it was nice
to see you again,
Bambi.
(SIGHS)
(LAUGHING)
BAMBI'S MOTHER: Bambi.
Mother?
I miss you so much.
(SHUSHING) There, there.
It's going
to be all right.
You'll see.
Why did you
have to go?
Everything in the forest
has its season.
Where one thing falls,
another grows.
Maybe not what
was there before,
but something
new and wonderful,
all the same.
But I feel so alone.
I'm always with you.
Even when you
can't see me,
I'm here.
I'm here.
I'm here.
EERIE VOICE: (FAINTLY)
I'm here.
Hello.
Hello?
EERIE VOICE: I'm here.
Mother?
EERIE VOICE: It's me.
I'm here.
Hello.
I'm here.
Wait! I'm coming.
Hello?
EERIE VOICE: Hello.
I'm here.
It's me.
Mother?
EERIE VOICE: I'm here.
Hello.
Hello.
I'm here.
(CAWING)
(DOGS BARKING)
(CAWING)
Bambi!
Run, Bambi!
(WHIMPERING)
Run, Bambi!
Go! Now!
(GUNSHOT)
(PANTING)
But it was Mother.
I heard her voice.
It was one of
man's tricks.
I'm sorry.
What if I hadn't
gotten there in time?
You could have been...
When I tell you
to run, you run.
Never freeze
like that, ever!
I'm sorry.
(SIGHS)
Let's go home.
She's never
coming back,
is she?
No.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
GREAT PRINCE:
Friend Owl.
Hmm?
Winter is coming
to an end.
You should have
little trouble finding
a new home for Bambi.
Big brother!
Oh, big brother!
Big brother!
(CAWING)
(ALL GIGGLING)
Every time
we turn our backs,
he's gone.
Search everywhere.
Leave no stone unturned.
(ALL GIGGLING)
FLOWER: How come
we're hiding from
your sisters?
(SHUSHING)
I think they're sweet.
Well, you don't
have to live with them.
(THUMPER GRUNTS)
Back up.
Watch it!
Come on! Push harder!
(FLOWER AND THUMPER
GRUNTING)
So, where are
we off to today?
You're going to
stay near the den,
where it's safe.
But I'm ready for danger,
for adventure, for...
The den.
Yeah. Yeah, good idea.
I'll stay and
guard the den.
Hey, Bambi.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Come on.
You can tell
your bestest friend.
Well, my father
never takes me
with him anymore.
I guess I'm not
what a prince's son
is supposed to be.
If I could
just show him.
Show him what?
That I can be
brave like him.
If that's all it is,
being brave is easy.
I can teach you.
You can?
Sure. Watch this.
(GROWLING)
(WHISPERS) I think
he's got a hairball.
No, I'm being
brave, silly.
The trick is to be
scarier than whatever's
scaring you. See?
(GROWLING)
(GROWLING)
You look like
a squirrel.
Oh! Oh! Watch me!
(FARTING)
BOTH: Ew!
Flower!
You just found
your inner strength.
Oh, gosh!
Okay. Now,
stand very straight.
Stick out your chest.
Take the deepest breath
you ever took
in your whole life.
Now let it out
with a big grr.
(BLEATING)
You're gonna need
a lot of practice.
Come on. Do what I do.
I'm a mountain lion.
(GROWLING)
Oh. Oh! I'm a bear.
(BLEATING)
I'm a turtle.
(GROWLING)
What?
Turtles are so scary.
THUMPER: Come on.
You can do it.
(GROWLING)
(BLEATING)
Come on,
watch this.
Yeah, that's it.
Come on. Try it again.
(BLEATING)
Yeah. That was good.
(GROWLING)
(BLEATING)
(FLOWER GROWLING)
Come on, come on!
(BLEATING)
(ALL SCREAMING)
(GROWL ECHOING)
(BLEATING ECHOING)
Yeah, that's it.
(GROWLING)
(ROARING)
(BOTH GASP)
(BOTH EXCLAIMING)
(GIGGLING)
(BLEATING)
(GROWLING)
(ALL LAUGHING)
(GROWLING)
(THUMPER GROWLING)
(ALL LAUGHING)
THUMPER: Watch this.
(GROWLING)
(ALL LAUGHING)
See?
There's nothing to it.
All it takes
is one good grrr.
(GROWLING)
ALL: Porcupine!
Get out and stay out,
you trespassing hooligans.
Trashy, muddy paws.
Couldn't you
have anything nice?
Well, we can always
swim across.
Uh-oh.
Let's go before
he sees you.
No. This is it.
I can show my dad
how brave I am.
You better hurry.
Don't worry.
I'll take care
of your dad.
And remember
what I taught you.
(GROWLING)
(GULPS)
I'm gonna walk
across this log.
(BLEATING)
Get off my property,
you pesky squirrel.
I'm not a squirrel.
I'm the young prince.
Where you going,
princey? (LAUGHING)
Not this way.
Try again.
Help! Help!
(PANTING)
There's this thing,
and it's got these eyes,
and these claws
like... (GROWLING)
And it walks
around like this.
(GRUNTING)
And, well,
you gotta see it.
Well, come on!
(SIGHS)
Try again! Try again!
You don't understand.
I have to get across.
Go around.
In my day,
we didn't wander willy-nilly
onto someone's property.
We took the long way.
It sometimes took days,
weeks, in the pouring rain,
'cause we had
a little thing
called respect.
Bambi, you did it!
Yeah?
Oh, you did it
all right.
(LAUGHING)
FLOWER: Behind you!
Look out!
Here I am! (LAUGHING)
(GASPING)
Here I am again!
Hurry up!
It's right over here.
(PORCUPINE LAUGHING)
(GASPS) Oops.
Wrong way.
Nothing here.
(PORCUPINE LAUGHING)
(BAMBI GASPS)
(EXCLAIMS)
(GROWLING)
(EXCLAIMS)
(PORCUPINE LAUGHING)
(BAMBI SQUEALING)
What was that?
I didn't hear anything.
Probably a bird.
Yeah, that's it.
A bird. (GROANS)
Oh, no.
PORCUPINE: Ha!
That'll teach you.
(LAUGHS)
Think twice before
you trespass
round here again.
Mind your own
beeswax next time.
(GASPS)
(GROWLING)
That's the problem
with these kids today.
No respect.
No respect at all.
What are you looking at,
you big moose?
(CLEARING THROAT)
(LAUGHING NERVOUSLY)
(SIGHS)
(PANTING)
(GASPS) Bambi,
are you okay?
(GROANS)
How does it look?
BOTH: Ew!
I'm not
gonna lie to you.
It ain't pretty.
It's hopeless.
I'm a coward.
No. You're brave.
Ow!
No one's ever
got that far
across before.
Ow!
That's the great
thing about me.
I don't feel any pain.
(SCOFFS) Watch this.
(YELLING)
See? Nothing.
(BAMBI EXCLAIMING IN PAIN)
What was that?
Probably just some poor,
dumb animal
caught in a trap.
So anyways...
(BAMBI EXCLAIMING IN PAIN)
(GASPS) Bambi!
Hey! I wasn't finished
talking about me.
Just one more.
Bambi, what happened?
Bambi got stuck
by a porcupine.
A porcupine? Where?
THUMPER: Hold still!
It was nothing.
Are you hurt?
THUMPER: Stop moving!
I'm fine. Really.
It's just...
Ow!
Got it.
Bambi. I thought
I recognized that scream.
I'm surprised to
see you moving.
It was only
a porcupine.
No, no, no.
I'm talking about
how you froze
out on the meadow,
and right in front
of your father.
FALINE: Ronno!
RONNO: Don't feel bad.
If we didn't have cowards,
we couldn't tell
who the brave ones are.
I'm not a coward.
(BLEATING)
Oh. Yeah, sure.
Come on. Let's go.
I'm staying here.
Come on.
Ronno, quit it.
Leave her alone.
Did you say
something, Bambi?
No. Well...
I mean, yes.
Leave her alone.
Please?
You tell him, Bambi.
Oh, wook.
It's the wittle bunny
and the wittle skunk.
Does the young prince
play with the wittle bunny
and the wittle skunk?
(GROANS)
(GASPS)
(GROWLING)
THUMPER: Run!
(GASPS)
FALINE: Run, Bambi!
(THUMPER EXCLAIMS)
(SCREECHING)
(GROWLING)
(EXCLAIMING)
(GASPS)
Other way! Other way!
Turn around!
Turn around!
(BOTH SCREAMING)
(GASPS) We made it.
THUMPER:
What's the matter?
Too scared?
(LAUGHING) Look at him.
Look at him shaking.
Now who's the baby,
you big baby?
(GASPS)
Whoa!
(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY) Hello.
I told you to
stay near the den.
When I give you an order,
I expect you to...
How did you...
Did you jump?
Yes, sir.
Hmm. I didn't make
a jump like that
until I had antlers.
Yes.
(CLEARING THROAT) Well...
We should be going
home.
He's never said
anything nice
like that before.
I guess he saw
how brave you were.
Gosh, what a jump.
It was like flying.
What's the big deal?
Anyone can make that jump.
(GRUNTING)
(SCREAMING)
Come on.
You jumped further
than this yesterday.
I don't know.
You're not afraid,
are you?
(MOCKINGLY)
You're too afraid.
You cannot jump...
(EXCLAIMING MOCKINGLY)
(SCREAMING)
You did it.
Whoo-hoo!
Let's do it again.
And this time
put it out further.
Come on, Bambi.
You can do it.
Wait till your dad
sees this.
(FRIEND OWL CHUCKLING)
Good morning, sir.
(CLEARING THROAT)
Morning, Owl.
Just thought I'd let you know
that the search is off
to a flying start.
Oh! Yes, well,
no pun intended,
with the flying,
as I'm an owl.
(CLEARING THROAT)
Yes, well.
I've met with
several does already
who would make
excellent mothers.
BAMBI:
Put it out further!
Unless you've
changed your mind?
No, I have not.
(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)
Hey, watch this!
Watch this!
(EXCLAIMS)
Did I make it?
Yep. You did it.
What exactly
are you doing?
I'm practicing my jumps.
Yeah. See?
Mmm. I see.
I don't get it.
Yesterday he really
liked it.
What's he doing,
anyway?
(SIGHS) I don't know,
but he sure does
an awful lot of it.
Well, why don't
you ask him?
Oh, he looks busy.
I better not.
Parents like it
when you ask them
questions,
lots and lots
of questions.
Really?
Go on.
I'm right behind you.
(LAUGHS)
(GASPING)
(GIGGLING)
Um... Uh...
(LAUGHING NERVOUSLY)
What are you doing?
Observing.
Oh. Observing.
What's observing?
Well, it's...
It's...
(SIGHS)
It's difficult
to explain.
Oh.
You have to look, listen,
and smell,
all at the same time.
Oh, I can do that.
Look, listen, smell.
(SNIFFING)
Hmm.
Try to feel
the forest around you.
I don't feel anything.
Does playing
in the meadow.
How do you know?
I feel it
in my hooves.
If there was danger,
they'd know to stomp,
and I'd run to them.
But wouldn't you
be scared?
Perhaps,
but I would still
run to them.
A prince may be afraid,
but he can't let fear
stop him from acting.
Wow. You know everything.
(LAUGHING)
Not everything.
Well, the forest
is waiting.
Are you coming?
Oh! Sure!
RABBIT 1: Big brother!
RABBIT 2: Big brother!
Oh, for crying out loud!
Feel the forest.
Feel the forest.
Feel the forest.
Bambi!
Feel the...
(LAUGHS SHEEPISHLY)
Felt it.

(BAMBI GIGGLING)
GREAT PRINCE: Bambi,
time to go to sleep.
But I can't sleep.
I'm wide awake.
Try.
Okay, I'll try.
(BAMBI GIGGLING)
It was funny
when you chased
that cricket,
then there
was one more,
then one more.
Yes, yes.
Now, get some sleep.
Flower sleeps
all winter.
(SIGHS)
Why do we sleep?
Everything must get rest.
Some at night,
some during the day.
Some not at all.
(GREAT PRINCE CHUCKLING)
Mother's resting now,
isn't she?
Oh, I forgot.
A prince leaves the past
in the past, right?
That's enough
questions for today.
Now, please
get some sleep.
Okay.
Good night.
(SIGHING)
(GROWLING)
(GREAT PRINCE YAWNING)
BAMBI: Come on,
sleepyhead. (LAUGHING)
Remind me
never to let you eat
blossoms before bedtime.
Wait. I hear trouble.
What? What?
(GASPS)
Hornet nest,
antler-high.
Very good.
Wait!
(GASPS)
Now I see trouble.
Where? Where?
Rival stag, dead ahead.
He's pretty small.
Shouldn't be any trouble.
Oh, yeah?
I can be plenty
of trouble.
No, not you.
Yes, me.
Now you've had it.
Gotcha!
Now who's got who?
(BLOWING RASPBERRY)
FRIEND OWL:
There you two are.
Well, yes.
Hello, Friend Owl.
Well, hello.
(CLEARING THROAT)
I've been meaning
to speak to you.
I've been
looking everywhere.
I thought you'd be
by the meadow now.
I'm afraid I got
a little (GRUNTS)
(BAMBI GIGGLING)
distracted.
So I see.
Well, no matter.
I usually find
what I'm after.
Speaking of which,
there's someone
I'd like you to meet.
Mena.
Great Prince.
Bambi, go to the den.
MENA: Bambi.
I've heard so much
about you.
You know,
your mama and I
grew up together.
You did?
Go to the den.
But I want to hear
about Mother.
(CHUCKLES)
There'll be plenty
of time for that
once you're settled
in your new home.
(GASPS)
You're sending me away?
No. Just let me explain.
But I did everything
you said.
I even heard
with my hooves.
Bambi,
a prince does not...
That's all you
care about, not me.
Don't speak to me...
I wish
Mother was here
instead of you!
Oh, my.
Well, I've certainly made
a muddle of things.
No. This is my fault.
Bambi needs a mother.
A prince should not
be raising a child.
BAMBI:
I'm sure gonna
miss you guys.
FALINE: Don't worry.
We'll see each other again.
FLOWER: Uh-huh.
RABBIT:
We'll come visit you,
if it's not too far.
But Mama says
it is too far.
(SHUSHING)
And if you get scared,
just be scarier than
whatever's scaring you.
(GROWLING)
GREAT PRINCE: Bambi.
It's time to go.
I'll never forget
any of you.
Of course not.
Can't forget
your bestest friend.
Being a prince
means sacrifice.
He must ignore
his feelings
and do what is
best for others.
Do you understand?
I'll visit you soon.
Be good for Mena.
And never forget,
you are a prince.
(RUSTLING)
Hello, Princess.
(MOCK GASP)
You're not leaving
without saying goodbye?
Oh, and I thought
we were pals.
I feel for you.
Gosh, I really do.
It's gotta be hard
to have a father
that's so ashamed of you
that he'd
give you away.
Oh, yeah?
(GASPS) Bambi!
Bambi!
Are you all right?
(SNARLING)
(BELLS RINGING)

(DOGS BARKING)

Look! It's Bambi!
(BOTH SCREAMING)
We gotta help him.
Make your brave face.
This one? (GROWLING)

This one? (GROWLING)
No, no.
Make the bravest face
you ever made
in your whole life.
This one? (GROWLING)
(FLOWER FARTING)

THUMPER:
It was raining
and thundering.
It didn't look good
for the young prince.
There were
thousands of dogs,
but Bambi
wasn't a bit scared.
They came closer
and closer.
(ALL GASP)
There was nowhere to go.
Then a dog
that was tall as a tree
roared from the shadows,
but Bambi was too fast.
He jumped up...
High in the air.
(RABBITS GIGGLING)
And then came crashing...
Crashing down.
Right on
the big dog's head.
Quiet. I'm telling it.
But the best part was...
RABBIT: The best part
was when Thumper
helped Flower
make his bravest
brave face.
And scared all the dogs away.
And scared all the dogs away.
Oops.
Oops.
Uh-huh.
That's how it went.
RABBITS:
Hooray for Thumper!
Look who's here.
Oh, the young prince.
Hooray!
Hooray!
You know,
they're okay
for sisters.
Just too bad
they're girls.
Hey!
Oops.
(LAUGHS SHEEPISHLY)
What do you know, Bambi!
(EXCLAIMS)
Well, looks like
those antlers are
finally coming in.
Really?
I hadn't noticed.
(ALL GIGGLING)
Thumper's been
telling us
quite a story.
Yes, yes. The one with
the thousands of dogs.
Thousands?
What can I say?
I'm a born

I'll bet it seemed
like a thousand dogs.

One of these days
we'll meet up again,
and when we do...

(ALL GASPING)
Huh?
(SCREAMING)
Get it off! Get it off!
Mommy! Get it off!

See? I told you
turtles were scary.
(ALL LAUGHING)
Oh! I gotta get going.
My dad's waiting for me.
Bye, Bambi.
Bye, Bambi.
Oh, Bambi,
you never have time
for us anymore.
Yeah. Isn't it wonderful?
Hey, Dad.
Where are we
going today?
We're already there.
BAMBI: Wow.
I never even knew
this was here.
Beautiful, isn't it?
This is...
This is where
I first met
your mother.
Really?
Yes.
I was just
about your age.
What were you like?
Me? Well, let me think.

I was a lot like you.

Come.

Excuse me, sir.
I hope I'm not

Well, I just had to come.
Poor little fellow.
So young to be
without his mother.
Well, if I can be
of any help...
Wait.
I could use
your help.
Find me a suitable doe
to raise Bambi.
Oh, yes.
Of course, yes.
Hmm. Food's so scarce.
Does can barely
feed themselves.
Perhaps you could...
Me? You know as well as I do,
a prince looks after the herd.
Does care for the young.
But you are his father,
and circumstances
being what they are...
(SIGHING)
Until spring.
Oh, excellent.
After all, who better
to raise the young prince
than the

Good morning.
Bambi, a prince awakens
before the forest does.
If you're late again,
I'll have no choice but to...
(STOMACH GROWLING)
What was that?
What was what?
(STOMACH GROWLING)
I guess
it was my stomach.
Then you should eat.
Oh, well...
I suppose
I should find you
something to eat.
Here.
(GASPS)
(GROANS) No, thank you.
Have you ever tried it?
Well, no.
Then how do you know
you don't like it
if you've never tried it?
Hmm?
Mmm. Mmm-hmm.
(SHUDDERING)
Come along. We have to
check on the other deer
in the South Wood.
(EXCLAIMS)
Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!
Bambi!
A prince does
not whoo-hoo.
He doesn't?
He certainly does not.
A prince maintains
control at all times.
Display dignity.
Walk with pride.
(BAMBI EXCLAIMING)
I'm okay!

(GASPS)
Whoa!
Don't you think
it'd be better if we
got a little closer?
The distance
makes it easier
to spot danger.
Hmm.
But it sure makes it
harder to play with them.
Play is a healthy part
of a young deer's
development.
Is that so?
Mmm-hmm.
Mother says so.
One time,
Mother and I
were out...
(SIGHS) Bambi.
A fawn came over
and wanted to play...
Bambi.
I think it's best
to leave the past
in the past.
A prince
does not look back,
only ahead.
Oh. Yes, sir.
Now, come. We still
have a lot of ground
to cover today.
Don't fall behind.
(GRUNTING)
Thumper!
Bambi!
Boy, am I glad
to see you.
What's wrong?
They've been

Who has?

Oh, big brother!
It's them!
(RABBITS GIGGLING)

Hello, young prince.
Hello, young prince.

Oh, okay.
I guess we will be

Mama says
you're gonna take us

Well, she's not

If I don't want to,
Mama can't make me.
(FOOT TAPPING)
Hi, Mama.
What did your
father tell you?
About what?
About playing
with your sisters.
Oh, that one.
A family that
plays together
stays together,
even if it means
taking your dumb sisters.
GREAT PRINCE: Bambi!
Coming! I gotta go.
But you can't go.
You can't leave me
with the girls.
Come on, Thumper.
You gotta take us
to see the groundhog.
(CLEARING THROAT)

Why don't you go

But I want to

Yes, well... (SIGHS)
I have to check on

and it's very far.
You go see the groundhog.
I'll meet you there later.
Oh. Okay.
I'll meet you.
Hey, Thumper,
wait for me!
You sit by me!
No, no!
Quiet!
First one there's
who I sit by.
Hooray!
It's gonna be me!
It's gonna be me!
Sheesh. I'm sure glad
your father let you come.
Oh. He understands.
He and I are best pals.
(FLOWER SNORING)
Wake up, Flower.
Wake up.
Come on, Flower.
You're gonna miss
the groundhog.
Gosh, I hope
the groundhog
sees his shadow,
(YAWNS)
so I can get back
to hibernating.
FRIEND OWL:
Attention, everyone.

Everybody, gather round.
We'll be starting in

we'll all sit by you.

we gather round

Well, that's entirely

I don't care.

Hello, Bambi.
Hi, Faline.

(RABBITS WHIMPER)
Who are you?
Name's Ronno,

Well, I hope

I wouldn't go that way

That's where
I saw a man.
(ALL GASPING)
You saw a man?
Uh-huh.
There I was,
out in the meadow.
Suddenly,
I heard this voice
luring me in.
"I'm here, I'm here."
See, man's got this stick
that can make his voice
sound like one of us.
But I'm way too
smart for that,
so I crept up on him,
real quiet.
Then bam!
I knocked him out
with my trusty antlers.
(GROANS)
(ALL LAUGHING)
That's quite a story.
Oh. You think so?
Mmm-hmm.
It's unbelievable.
Yeah. Unbelievable.
You calling me a liar?

You wanna spar,
do you?
No!
Clobber him, Bambi.

Bambi? Isn't that

(LAUGHING)
Come on. Let's go.
Just a little,

Ronno!
Coming, Mother.
Yeah. Maybe you
should get going.
Jeez, I was only
playing around
with him.
Isn't that right,
Bambi?
RONNO'S MOTHER: Ronno!
I'm coming!
Ma! How many times
do I have to tell you?
Don't bother me
when I'm trying to
make new friends.
Sorry, dear.
You big mama's boy!
Why don't you run home
to your mama?
You big old mama's boy!
MRS. RABBIT: Thumper!
Coming, Mama.
Gotta go.
See you, Bambi.
So tell me, what did
the groundhog see?
See you, Bambi.
Do you want us
to walk you home?
No. My father's
coming for me.
Well, it was nice
to see you again,

BAMBI'S MOTHER: Bambi.
Mother?
I miss you so much.
(SHUSHING) There, there.
It's going
to be all right.
You'll see.
Why did you
have to go?
Everything in the forest
has its season.
Where one thing falls,
another grows.
Maybe not what
was there before,
but something
new and wonderful,
all the same.
But I feel so alone.
I'm always with you.
Even when you

Yeah. Yeah, good idea.
I'll stay and
guard the den.
Hey, Bambi.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Come on.
You can tell
your bestest friend.
Well, my father
never takes me
with him anymore.
I guess I'm not

is supposed to be.
If I could
just show him.
Show him what?
That I can be

If that's all it is,
being brave is easy.
I can teach you.
You can?
Sure. Watch this.
(GROWLING)
(WHISPERS) I think
he's got a hairball.
No, I'm being

You look like

Oh! Oh! Watch me!

(BAMBI SQUEALING)
What was that?
I didn't hear anything.
Probably a bird.
Yeah, that's it.
A bird. (GROANS)
Oh, no.
PORCUPINE: Ha!
That'll teach you.
(LAUGHS)
Think twice before
you trespass
round here again.
Mind your own
beeswax next time.
(GASPS)
(GROWLING)
That's the problem
with these kids today.
No respect.
No respect at all.
What are you looking at,
you big moose?
(CLEARING THROAT)
(LAUGHING NERVOUSLY)
(SIGHS)
(PANTING)
(GASPS) Bambi,
are you okay?
(GROANS)
How does it look?
BOTH: Ew!
I'm not
gonna lie to you.
It ain't pretty.
It's hopeless.
I'm a coward.
No. You're brave.
Ow!
No one's ever
got that far
across before.
Ow!
That's the great
thing about me.
I don't feel any pain.
(SCOFFS) Watch this.
(YELLING)
See? Nothing.
(BAMBI EXCLAIMING IN PAIN)
What was that?
Probably just some poor,
dumb animal
caught in a trap.
So anyways...
(BAMBI EXCLAIMING IN PAIN)
(GASPS) Bambi!
Hey! I wasn't finished
talking about me.
Just one more.
Bambi, what happened?
Bambi got stuck
by a porcupine.
A porcupine? Where?
THUMPER: Hold still!
It was nothing.
Are you hurt?
THUMPER: Stop moving!
I'm fine. Really.
It's just...
Ow!
Got it.
Bambi. I thought
I recognized that scream.
I'm surprised to
see you moving.
It was only
a porcupine.
No, no, no.
I'm talking about
how you froze
out on the meadow,
and right in front
of your father.
FALINE: Ronno!
RONNO: Don't feel bad.
If we didn't have cowards,
we couldn't tell
who the brave ones are.
I'm not a coward.
(BLEATING)
Oh. Yeah, sure.
Come on. Let's go.
I'm staying here.
Come on.
Ronno, quit it.
Leave her alone.
Did you say
something, Bambi?
No. Well...
I mean, yes.
Leave her alone.
Please?
You tell him, Bambi.
Oh, wook.
It's the wittle bunny
and the wittle skunk.
Does the young prince
play with the wittle bunny
and the wittle skunk?
(GROANS)
(GASPS)
(GROWLING)
THUMPER: Run!
(GASPS)
FALINE: Run, Bambi!
(THUMPER EXCLAIMS)
(SCREECHING)
(GROWLING)
(EXCLAIMING)
(GASPS)
Other way! Other way!
Turn around!
Turn around!
(BOTH SCREAMING)
(GASPS) We made it.
THUMPER:
What's the matter?
Too scared?
(LAUGHING) Look at him.
Look at him shaking.
Now who's the baby,
you big baby?
(GASPS)
Whoa!
(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY) Hello.
I told you to
stay near the den.
When I give you an order,
I expect you to...
How did you...
Did you jump?
Yes, sir.
Hmm. I didn't make
a jump like that
until I had antlers.
Yes.
(CLEARING THROAT) Well...
We should be going
home.
He's never said
anything nice
like that before.
I guess he saw
how brave you were.
Gosh, what a jump.
It was like flying.
What's the big deal?
Anyone can make that jump.
(GRUNTING)
(SCREAMING)
Come on.
You jumped further
than this yesterday.
I don't know.
You're not afraid,
are you?
(MOCKINGLY)
You're too afraid.
You cannot jump...
(EXCLAIMING MOCKINGLY)
(SCREAMING)
You did it.
Whoo-hoo!
Let's do it again.
And this time
put it out further.
Come on, Bambi.
You can do it.
Wait till your dad
sees this.
(FRIEND OWL CHUCKLING)
Good morning, sir.
(CLEARING THROAT)
Morning, Owl.
Just thought I'd let you know
that the search is off
to a flying start.
Oh! Yes, well,
no pun intended,
with the flying,
as I'm an owl.
(CLEARING THROAT)
Yes, well.
I've met with
several does already
who would make
excellent mothers.
BAMBI:
Put it out further!
Unless you've
changed your mind?
No, I have not.
(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)
Hey, watch this!
Watch this!
(EXCLAIMS)
Did I make it?
Yep. You did it.
What exactly
are you doing?
I'm practicing my jumps.
Yeah. See?
Mmm. I see.
I don't get it.
Yesterday he really
liked it.
What's he doing,
anyway?
(SIGHS) I don't know,
but he sure does
an awful lot of it.
Well, why don't
you ask him?
Oh, he looks busy.
I better not.
Parents like it
when you ask them
questions,
lots and lots
of questions.
Really?
Go on.
I'm right behind you.
(LAUGHS)
(GASPING)
(GIGGLING)
Um... Uh...
(LAUGHING NERVOUSLY)
What are you doing?
Observing.
Oh. Observing.
What's observing?
Well, it's...
It's...
(SIGHS)
It's difficult
to explain.
Oh.
You have to look, listen,
and smell,
all at the same time.
Oh, I can do that.
Look, listen, smell.
(SNIFFING)
Hmm.
Try to feel
the forest around you.
I don't feel anything.
Does playing
in the meadow.
How do you know?
I feel it
in my hooves.
If there was danger,
they'd know to stomp,
and I'd run to them.
But wouldn't you
be scared?
Perhaps,
but I would still
run to them.
A prince may be afraid,
but he can't let fear
stop him from acting.
Wow. You know everything.
(LAUGHING)
Not everything.
Well, the forest
is waiting.
Are you coming?
Oh! Sure!
RABBIT 1: Big brother!
RABBIT 2: Big brother!
Oh, for crying out loud!
Feel the forest.
Feel the forest.
Feel the forest.
Bambi!
Feel the...
(LAUGHS SHEEPISHLY)
Felt it.

GREAT PRINCE: Bambi,
time to go to sleep.
But I can't sleep.
I'm wide awake.
Try.
Okay, I'll try.
(BAMBI GIGGLING)
It was funny
when you chased
that cricket,
then there
was one more,
then one more.
Yes, yes.
Now, get some sleep.
Flower sleeps
all winter.
(SIGHS)
Why do we sleep?
Everything must get rest.
Some at night,
some during the day.
Some not at all.
(GREAT PRINCE CHUCKLING)
Mother's resting now,
isn't she?
Oh, I forgot.
A prince leaves the past
in the past, right?
That's enough
questions for today.
Now, please
get some sleep.
Okay.
Good night.
(SIGHING)
(GROWLING)
(GREAT PRINCE YAWNING)
BAMBI: Come on,
sleepyhead. (LAUGHING)
Remind me
never to let you eat
blossoms before bedtime.
Wait. I hear trouble.
What? What?
(GASPS)
Hornet nest,
antler-high.
Very good.
Wait!
(GASPS)
Now I see trouble.
Where? Where?
Rival stag, dead ahead.
He's pretty small.
Shouldn't be any trouble.
Oh, yeah?
I can be plenty
of trouble.
No, not you.
Yes, me.
Now you've had it.
Gotcha!
Now who's got who?
(BLOWING RASPBERRY)
FRIEND OWL:
There you two are.
Well, yes.
Hello, Friend Owl.
Well, hello.
(CLEARING THROAT)
I've been meaning
to speak to you.
I've been
looking everywhere.
I thought you'd be
by the meadow now.
I'm afraid I got
a little (GRUNTS)
(BAMBI GIGGLING)
distracted.
So I see.
Well, no matter.
I usually find
what I'm after.
Speaking of which,
there's someone
I'd like you to meet.
Mena.
Great Prince.
Bambi, go to the den.
MENA: Bambi.
I've heard so much
about you.
You know,
your mama and I
grew up together.
You did?
Go to the den.
But I want to hear
about Mother.
(CHUCKLES)
There'll be plenty
of time for that
once you're settled
in your new home.
(GASPS)
You're sending me away?
No. Just let me explain.
But I did everything
you said.
I even heard
with my hooves.
Bambi,
a prince does not...
That's all you
care about, not me.
Don't speak to me...
I wish
Mother was here
instead of you!
Oh, my.
Well, I've certainly made
a muddle of things.
No. This is my fault.
Bambi needs a mother.
A prince should not
be raising a child.
BAMBI:
I'm sure gonna
miss you guys.
FALINE: Don't worry.
We'll see each other again.
FLOWER: Uh-huh.
RABBIT:
We'll come visit you,
if it's not too far.
But Mama says
it is too far.
(SHUSHING)
And if you get scared,
just be scarier than
whatever's scaring you.
(GROWLING)
GREAT PRINCE: Bambi.
It's time to go.
I'll never forget
any of you.
Of course not.
Can't forget
your bestest friend.
Being a prince
means sacrifice.
He must ignore
his feelings
and do what is
best for others.
Do you understand?
I'll visit you soon.
Be good for Mena.
And never forget,
you are a prince.
(RUSTLING)
Hello, Princess.
(MOCK GASP)
You're not leaving
without saying goodbye?
Oh, and I thought
we were pals.
I feel for you.
Gosh, I really do.
It's gotta be hard
to have a father
that's so ashamed of you
that he'd
give you away.
Oh, yeah?
(GASPS) Bambi!
Bambi!
Are you all right?
(SNARLING)
(BELLS RINGING)
(GASPS)
(DOGS BARKING)
Both of you
get out of here. Now!
Mommy!
Bambi, run!
(CAWING)
(GRUNTS)

Run, Bambi!
Faster, Bambi.
Don't look back!
Keep running!
Keep running!
Bambi!
(BLEATING)

Where's Bambi?
Look! It's Bambi!
(BOTH SCREAMING)
We gotta help him.
Make your brave face.
This one? (GROWLING)
Braver!
This one? (GROWLING)
No, no.
Make the bravest face
you ever made
in your whole life.
This one? (GROWLING)
(FLOWER FARTING)
(WHIMPERS)
That's the one.

Looky who's here.
I guess somebody
didn't learn their lesson.
I learned plenty.

(CRYING)
(CHIRPING)
THUMPER:
It was raining
and thundering.
It didn't look good
for the young prince.
There were
thousands of dogs,
but Bambi
wasn't a bit scared.
They came closer
and closer.
(ALL GASP)
There was nowhere to go.
Then a dog
that was tall as a tree
roared from the shadows,
but Bambi was too fast.
He jumped up...
High in the air.
(RABBITS GIGGLING)
And then came crashing...
Crashing down.
Right on
the big dog's head.
Quiet. I'm telling it.
But the best part was...
RABBIT: The best part
was when Thumper
helped Flower
make his bravest
brave face.
And scared all the dogs away.
And scared all the dogs away.
Oops.
Oops.
Uh-huh.
That's how it went.
RABBITS:
Hooray for Thumper!
Look who's here.
Oh, the young prince.
Hooray!
Hooray!
You know,
they're okay
for sisters.
Just too bad
they're girls.
Hey!
Oops.
(LAUGHS SHEEPISHLY)
What do you know, Bambi!
(EXCLAIMS)
Well, looks like
those antlers are
finally coming in.
Really?
I hadn't noticed.
(ALL GIGGLING)
Thumper's been
telling us
quite a story.
Yes, yes. The one with
the thousands of dogs.
Thousands?
What can I say?
I'm a born
storyteller.
I'll bet it seemed
like a thousand dogs.

(SIGHING) Twitterpated.
What's twitterpated?
Well, it's...
I'll tell you

Well, well, well.
If it isn't
the young prince.
One of these days
we'll meet up again,
and when we do...
(EXCLAIMING)
(ALL GASPING)
Huh?
(SCREAMING)
Get it off! Get it off!
Mommy! Get it off!
Mommy!
(SCREAMING)
See? I told you
turtles were scary.
(ALL LAUGHING)
Oh! I gotta get going.
My dad's waiting for me.
Bye, Bambi.
Bye, Bambi.
Oh, Bambi,
you never have time
for us anymore.
Yeah. Isn't it wonderful?
Hey, Dad.
Where are we
going today?
We're already there.
BAMBI: Wow.
I never even knew
this was here.
Beautiful, isn't it?
This is...
This is where
I first met
your mother.
Really?
Yes.
I was just
about your age.
What were you like?
Me? Well, let me think.

I was a lot like you.
