The Story
Bambi thinks the butterfly that greets him is quite the
loveliest thing he’s ever seen.
The little fawn is sure all the daisies are butterflies
too because they’re yellow, until Thumper tells him
they’re flowers.
When bright black eyes emerge from the flowers, Bambi
calls the little animal “Flower.” “What
a beautiful name for me,” sighs the small skunk.
“It fits me perfectly.”
“He’s not a flower,” Thumper blurts out.
“He’s a skunk.”
Bambi thinks the little droplets coming from the sky are a
thing of wonder.
At Thumper’s urging, Bambi tries to walk on the ice,
but his front legs shoot forward and his rear legs slip
back.
Mother shows Bambi how to strip bark during the winter
when the snow covers all the other animal food.
Winter brings continual surprises for Bambi. Flower goes
into hibernation so he can sleep all through the long cold
winter.
Bambi meets the beautiful little doe named Faline, who
looks like his mother but is so much smaller. “Come
and play, Bambi,” Faline says, dancing toward
him.
As mother and Bambi play a peaceful pond, mother gets the
unmistaken scent of MAN and they hear a deafening roar of
MAN’s gun.
Bambi loses his mother and is filled with terror as he
plunges on through the woods.
With fear and suffering in his eyes, Bambi listens to the
old stag. “Your mother can’t be with you
anymore,” the stag says. “Now you must learn
to walk alone.”
Springs comes again to the forest and all the animals and
birds awaken to a new life. Bambi is especially happy with
his favorite friend, Faline.
As a fire in the forest is started by a careless MAN, the
animals dash to safety with the crackling roar of flames
close behind.
It seems to Bambi as if all the animals, large and small,
are completely encircled by the leaping flames. Bambi
leads the animals to an island in the middle of the river,
and all are saved, even as they watch the flaming forest
around them.
Another spring comes to a wonderful world, and Bambi has
full-grown antlers. On the hill he is a mighty figure,
strong and proud – the great Prince of the
Forest.
… And the forest is happy again.
