You tell him, Bambi.
Oh, wook. lt's the wittle bunny and the wittle skunk.
Does the young prince play with the wittle bunny and the wittle skunk?
Grrr!
- Run! - (growls)
Run, Bambi!
Aarrgh!
(Thumper) Whoa!
Other way! Other way!
Turn around! Turn around!
(both) Aaaarrrgh!
We made it.
What's the matter?
Too scared? Uh-huh.
Look at him. Look at him shaking.
Now who's the baby, you big baby?
- Whoa! - Um...
Hello.
l told you to stay near the den.
When l give you an order, l expect you to...
How did you...
Did you jump?
- Yes, sir. - Hm.
l didn't make a jump like that until l had antlers.
Yes. Well...
We should be going...
um...
home.
He's never said anything nice like that before.
l guess he saw how brave you were.
Gosh, what a jump. lt was like flying.
What's the big deal? Anyone can make that jump.
Aaaargh!
A-a-aarrgh!
(splash)
Come on. You jumped further than this yesterday.
l... don't know.
You're not afraid, are you?
(singsong) You're too afraid. You cannot jump.
Ner-ner-ner ner-ner! Ner-ner-ner ner-ner! Ner-ner-ner ner-ner! Ner-ner-ner...
Argh!
Whoo-hoo!
- You did it. - Let's do it again.
And this time put it out further.
(Thumper) Come on, Bambi. You can do it.
Wait till your dad sees this.
- Oh. Good morning, sir. - Ahem. Morning, Owl.
Just thought l'd let you know that the search is off to a flying start.
Oh! Yes, well,
no pun intended... with the... flying... as l'm an... an owl.
Yes, well.
l've met with several does already who would make excellent mothers.
- (Bambi) Put it out further! - Unless you've changed your mind?
- No, l have not. - (clears throat) Uh... uh...
Hey, watch this! Watch this!
Whoa!
- Did l make it? - (muffled) Yep. You did it.
- What exactly are you doing? - l'm practicing my jumps.
- Yeah. See? - Mm.
l see.
l don't get it. Yesterday he really liked it.
What's he doing, anyway?
l don't know, but he sure does an awful lot of it.
Well, why don't you ask him?
Oh, he looks busy. l better not.
Parents like it when you ask them questions -
lots and lots of questions.
- Really? - Go on. l'm right behind you.
(Thumper giggles)
Um... uh...
(laughs nervously)
- What are you doing? - Observing.
Oh. Observing.
- What's observing? - Well, it's...
it's...
- lt's difficult to explain. - Oh.
You have to look, listen...
and smell, all at the same time.
Oh, l can do that.
Look, listen, smell.
(sniffs)
Hm.
Try to feel the forest around you.
l don't feel anything.
- Does playing in the meadow. - How do you know?
l feel it in my hooves.
lf there was danger, they'd know to stomp, and l'd run to them.
- But wouldn't you be scared? - Perhaps, but l would still run to them.
A prince may be afraid, but he can't let fear stop him from acting.
Wow. You know everything.
(laughs)
Not everything.
Well, the forest is waiting.
Are you coming?
Oh! Sure!
(sisters) Big brother!
Oh, for crying out loud!
Feel the forest. Feel the forest.
- Feel the forest. - Bambi!
Feel the...
Felt it.

(Bambi giggles)
(Great Prince) Bambi, time to go to sleep.
But l can't sleep. l'm wide awake.
Try.
OK, l'll try.
(giggles)
lt 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.
Why do we sleep?
Everything must get rest.
Some at night, some during the day.
Some not at all.
(giggles)
(Great Prince chuckles)
Mother's resting now, isn't she?
Oh, l forgot.
A prince leaves the past in the past, right?
That's enough questions for today.
Now, please get some sleep.
OK.
Good night.
Grrr!
(yawning)
(Bambi) Come on, sleepyhead.
Remind me never to let you eat blossoms before bedtime.
Wait. l hear trouble.
- What? What? - (buzzing)
Hornet nest - antler-high.
Very good.
- Wait! Now l see trouble. - Where? Where?
Rival stag, dead ahead.
Ah, he's pretty small. Shouldn't be any trouble.
Oh, yeah? l can be plenty of trouble.
- No, not you. - Yes, me.
Yah!
Now you've had it. (laughs)
Gotcha!
Now who's got who?
- There you two are. Well, yes. - Hello, Friend Owl.
Well, he-hello.
l've... l've been meaning to speak to you.
l've been looking everywhere. l thought you'd be by the meadow now.
l'm afraid l got a little...
distracted.
So l see. Well, no matter. l usually find what l'm after.
Speaking of which, there's someone l'd like you to meet.
- Mena. - Great Prince.
- Bambi, go to the den. - Bambi.
l've heard so much about you. You know, your mama and l grew up together.
- You did? - Go to the den.
But l want to hear about Mother.
There'll be plenty of time for that once you're settled in your new home.
You're sending me away?
No. Just... just let me explain.
But l did everything you said.
- l even heard with my hooves. - Bambi, a prince does not...
- That's all you care about - not me. - Don't speak to me...
l wish Mother was here instead of you!
Oh, my, my, my. Well, l've certainly made a muddle of things.
No. This is my fault.
Bambi needs a mother.
A prince should not be raising a child.
l'm sure gonna miss you guys.
Don't worry. We'll see each other again.
Uh-huh.
We'll come visit you, if it's not too far.
- But Mama says it is too far. - Shh!
And if you get scared, just be scarier than whatever's scaring you.
Grrr!
Bambi.
lt's time to go.
l'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?
l'll visit you soon.
Be good for Mena.
And never forget...
you are the prince.
(rustling)
Hello, Princess.
You're not leaving without saying goodbye?
Ah, and l thought we were pals.
l feel for you. Gosh, l really do.
lt's gotta be hard to have a father that's so ashamed of you
that he'd give you away.
Oh, yeah?
Bambi!
Argh!
Bambi! Are you all right?
(tins rattle)
(barking)
Both of you get out of here. Now!
Mommy!
Bambi, run!
(birds caw)
Run, Bambi!
Faster, Bambi. Don't look back! Keep running!
Keep running!
Bambi!
Baa!
Where's Bambi?
Look! lt's Bambi!
Argh!
We gotta help him. Make your brave face.
- This one? Grrr! - Braver!
- This one? Grrr! - No, no.
Make the bravest face you ever made in your whole life.
This one? Grrr!
(squeak)
That's the one.
Aha! Looky who's here. l guess somebody didn't learn their lesson.
l learned plenty.
Aaarrgh!
Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh!
Argh!
(barking)
(thunder)
(growling)
(rumbling)
(whimpers)
(barking)
(barks)
Bambi!
(crumbling)
Bambi! (echoes)
Bambi?
Get up.
Get up!
A prince does not...
Dad.
l'm here.
(Thumper) lt was raining and thundering.
lt 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.
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.
(laughter)
- And then came crashing... - Crashing down.
Right on the big dog's head.
Quiet. l'm telling it. But the best part was...
The best part was when Thumper helped Flower make his bravest brave face.
(all) And scared all the dogs away. Oops.
Uh-huh. That's how it went.
(all) Hooray for Thumper!
- Look who's here. - Oh, the young prince.
(all) Hooray!
You know, they're OK for sisters.
- Just too bad they're girls. - Hey.
Oops.
What do you know, Bambi!
Ooh!
Well, looks like those antlers are finally coming in.
Really? l hadn't noticed.
Thumper's been telling us quite a story.
Yes, yes. The one with the thousands of dogs.
Thousands?
What can l say? l'm a born storyteller.
l'll bet it seemed like a thousand dogs.
(laughs)
Oh!
- (all) Ooh! - Uh... uh... uh...
Twitterpated.
What's twitterpated?
Well, it's... l'll tell you when you're older.
Well, well, well. lf it isn't the young prince.
One of these days we'll meet up again, and when we do...
Whoa!
Argh! Aaargh!
Get it off! Get it off! Mommy! Get it off!
Mommy! Argh! Argh!
See? l told you turtles were scary.
Oh! l gotta get going. My dad's waiting for me.
(all) Bye, Bambi.
Ah, Bambi, you never have time for us anymore.
Yeah. lsn't it wonderful?
Hey, Dad. Where are we going today?
We're already there.
Wow.
l never even knew this was here.
Beautiful, isn't it?
This is...
This is where l first met your mother.
- Really? - Yes.
l was just about your age.
What were you like?
Me? Well, let me think.
Actually, l was a lot like you.
