To their joy, the groundhog has no shadow, meaning spring is coming, but the groundhog then runs back into his burrow after being frightened by a older fawn named Ronno.īambi finds it hard to connect with his father, The Great Prince of the Forest, so Thumper gives him lessons on how to impress his father. Set in between the events of Bambi's mother's death and Bambi's young adulthood, Thumper appears when hiding from his sisters but they find him and say that their mother said for Thumper to take them to see a groundhog (who could tell if spring was on the way if he had no shadow) to which Bambi (and later Flower and Faline) joins them. However shortly after, Thumper meets and falls in love with a female rabbit and eventually has daughters with her, who join him when he and the other animals go to visit Faline after she gives birth to her and Bambi's children, Geno and Gurri. Years later, Thumper (now a young adult) meets with Bambi and Flower again where they are warned about getting "twitterpated" by Friend Owl and that they would eventually fall in love, though the trio believe this won't happen to them. During the winter, Thumper tries to teach Bambi how to skate on a frozen pond, but Bambi kept slipping.

And here we are!īambi is the story of a newly born fawn named Bambi, a sweet if not somewhat clumsy lil' fella.
