Description: After losing his mother to a hunter, Bambi is taken under the care of the Great Prince, his father. The Great Prince seeks the help of Friend Owl to find a doe to raise Bambi, but it is revealed that the does are struggling to feed themselves. As a result, the Great Prince must temporarily take responsibility for Bambi.
Later, the Great Prince allows Bambi to spend time with his friends, Thumper and Flower. During the groundhog ceremony, Bambi reunites with Faline. However, the moment is interrupted by Ronno, who boasts about his encounter with humans in an attempt to impress Faline. When Bambi believes Ronno’s story, a confrontation nearly occurs, but Ronno is called away by his mother.
One day, Bambi hears what he believes to be his mother’s voice calling him into a meadow. Unaware that it’s a trap set by humans, he follows the voice. The Great Prince arrives just in time to save Bambi, though he is furious that his son fell for the trick and nearly paid with his life.
Determined to prove himself to his father, Bambi shares his desire to be brave with Thumper and Flower. While on their mission, they encounter a porcupine, leaving Bambi in an uncomfortable situation. Later, Bambi witnesses Ronno bothering Faline and stands up to him, leading to a chase through the forest. Bambi’s daring leap over a ravine impresses the Great Prince, while Ronno’s failed attempt leaves him humiliated.
