#prince of the forest and bambi from bambi 2

[alliebirb]

my trope of ALL time

[rednotebooksworld]

Character Info: Pike ~ Deer Hybrid

A/n: I like hybrids but I rarely see deer hybrids so I’m making one of my own

*NSFW under ‘read more’ tab*

<======>

Summary:

In the deep forest, a forest guardian with tough and tall antlers resides. Pike, a deer hybrid is a prince of his part of the forest and that came with huge responsibilities. You, lived in a town outside of the deep woods in lived in and it was an unexpected meeting when you wandered in his forest out of pure curiosity

SFW

—pike is more of a prince in his part of the forest but still a guardian nonetheless {bros got a bambi like backstory lol}

—pike is naturally curious about new things, human society fascinates him to some degree, so meet you, was like a blessing in disguise

—he is a bit of a short boi, but makes up for it with his antlers and ability to keep his forest safe from harm

—pike is very kind soul, he gets that from his father; the guardian before him. He likes being protective and with a human in the forest such as yourself, he’ll do everything in his powers to keep you safe

—he tries to avoid violence though willing to defend himself and others against an instigator

—he knows a lot about plants and such; teaches about plants what’s good and bad

^you accidentally tried to eat a poisonous mushroom and he just smacked it out of your hand and scolds you (definitely the mom type)

—he has introduced you to his herd; mostly the does and the fawns of the herd

^honestly he doesn’t trust the other males around you, he’s touch bit possessive

NSFW

—pike never had a mate in his lifetime even as a guardian like his father before him, it’s not like he wasn’t interested just never had the time

—though meeting you changed that, mostly his sex drive

—his sex drive went from 0 to 10 real quick, he’s kinda embarrassed by it but he’s so in love with you and he can tell it doesn’t bother you since you seem to enjoy it 😏

—that being said, pike is kinda vanilla, but he’s tied you up with vines before so bondage is always on the table for him

—pike’s a soft lover, he gives you praises and compliments

^“you’re such a pretty being, my precious princess~”

—he likes when you grab his antlers or even touch them while you have sex, that’s kinda why he enjoys eating you out, so you grab onto his antlers

—his size, well his cock is not that girthy and it’s pretty average length

—pike is very dominant especially around spring time or mating season; his herd is gave their prince usually looks when the sweet little human that’s been around was with him but they also can’t help but be happy

—he has a lot of stamina, since he’s still somewhat human but his deer half adds to his stamina; 2-3 rounds at most

Hey honey love your work, I was wondering if you could do what the boys (so'lek, nor, eetu and whoever else) would be like as dad's (hcs preferably) if that's okay, ofc when you can 😁

Here you go, my dear 🥰 Hope you enjoy!

Characters: So'lek, Nor, and Eetu

Fandom: Avatar Frontiers of Pandora

Warnings: Short. Headcanons?? Fluff?? Idk poor warning labels lol

Taglist: @avatar-lover @taronyuhunter @neteyamsyawntu @awesomenessfeet @mooniequeen

~~~~~~~~~

So'lek:

Any child of his will have him wrapped around their little fingers. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

He is their personal jungle gym.

You know how male lions play with their cubs that also helps them create social and survival instincts? Yeah, that's So'lek.

Once those kids get older, it's easier to say "no" to them, and he's easily labeled as the Strict Parent.

He secretly loves the "new baby smell". His mate might not catch a break between children just from this alone.

I see his children growing up to be rambunctious and playful, the opposite of their father. I just think it's a nice contrast. He's gotta have a little bit of sunlight in his life, ya know?

Anyone remember Bambi's dad? The Prince of the Forest? That's So'lek. Go watch Bambi 2 and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Nor:

He's very unsure. Has no idea what he's doing. Poor guy just GOT here.

He will constantly ask other Na'vi around him, "Am I doing this right? How do I-? Wait, shouldn't I try-?"

This makes him the Helicopter Parent, unfortunately for any mate of his that will have to deal with that 🤣

Any small jump those children make off of even the TINIEST of steps will send Nor into a small panic attack.

LOVES holding babies against his chest. It's so warm and fulfilling. Everything else that was once so horrible about his life immediately melts away.

As the children get older, Nor is constantly hounding them about safety. He always needs to know where they're going and how long they're gonna be gone. Sometimes, if they're running late, he's immediately ready to start a search party. You can't exactly blame the poor guy for being paranoid.

Eetu:

The Fun Parent.

Eywa help any mate of Eetu's because they will have to simply accept the fact that he will be the fun parent to their children. No matter what.

Have you ever seen that viral video of the gorilla dad who constantly steals his child away to play while the mother chases him? That's Eetu.

Nefika has always insisted that Eetu should learn to slow down and teach younger Na'vi by telling them stories and warning them of the dangers of hunting. And now, he finally does. While he is still the fun parent, having kids has taught him to slow down.

His children and other Aranahe children LOVE his stories as well. Nefika grins like a cat who got the cream whenever she finds Eetu sitting still, surrounded and trapped by children, eager for more stories.

If Etuwa has kids as well, she and Eetu with take their little ones and go flying together. Flying is a must for any children of Eetu.

Izzy's Heavily Improvised Essay on Bambi 2

(to folks who follow me for other stuff, I apologize right ahead of time, just doing my "multifandom" name justice XD)

Okay y’all, bear with me, this was written in the heat of the moment and therefore I might go around in tangents. I’ve been dying to write this essay thingy for months actually, but I kept chickening out when I went to try and just do it. And it was also inspired by Wreckham’s own Bambi post that I saw a while ago, so uh... Yeah.

(also this mainly features my opinions, don't take them as facts >_<)

So, starting things off with this:

It shall be no secret that I’m an avid fan of the Bambi movies (more the second than the first, but we’ll get to that in a bit). 

It’s no surprise that visually speaking, Bambi is a spectacle from beginning to end, on top of having a beautiful soundtrack and a fascinating way of being the closest thing to an animated documentary with its environments.

However, it comes with the price of... Well, lacking a concrete plot. And by that I mean outside of just showcasing Bambi’s life from birth to adulthood. Not to say there’s no value in that, but I reckon it’s not the kind of movie lots of people nowadays would just want to watch multiple times in a row.

(plus considering how much of the novel’s plot they cut out when adapting it to the screens… That’s a can of worms for another day)

Yes, even I, the avid fan, will admit this flaw in the storytelling. And it’s a big reason why I maintain my statement on loving the second movie more than the first.

And oh where do I begin?

Namely how its plot is basically about the time that happened between Bambi’s Mother’s death and the scene with all those cheery singing birds — in other words, the period in which Bambi was raised by his father, the Great Prince of the Forest.

While animation’s changed significantly (given that, y’know, 64 years apart) and also different voice actors were hired for the characters (again, 64 years), I will come here and say that visually the movie did the original justice, and did it in spades!

Plot-wise? On one hand, there’s more dialogue and the humor is a bit more targeted for younger audiences, which in fairness will put off some who are more inclined towards the original.

On the other hand, the movie is also not afraid to explore some darker subjects, some indirectly (like the whole aspect of grief both for Bambi and his father and their respective ways of dealing with it), and some directly (such as the entire Deer Call scene).

And the fact that unlike the first movie, the characters here are more fleshed out, the main highlight of that is none other than the Great Prince himself; in the first movie he... Didn’t have nearly enough screentime or lines to justify his status as protector of the Forest, at best he was a minor character given too much importance, and at worst he was a living prop.

In the second? He’s the second main focus of the story, with a whole character development arc on how to be a father to Bambi despite his belief in tradition (aka the whole “the does care for the young” thing). In fact, I think I should dedicate this part of the essay on his character, shall we? Because years of rewatching the movie made me think a lot of things regarding him (which I don’t see many or even anyone talk enough about):

If we’re gonna think about it, we never really get to know the Great Prince too deeply prior to his mate’s death. Everything we do know about him personality-wise came afterwards, at a time when he had to look after Bambi while also looking after the Forest as a whole.

It’s incredibly easy to label him as a jerk and a deadbeat father when one fails to consider a few things:

1- His mate died, and given the timeframe, the Prince was unable to reach both her and Bambi in time before Man shot her; made worse when you remember that in the first movie he was able to save them both from Man. Literally, at the beginning of the second movie, one of the first expressions we see from him is sadness. Wouldn’t you think he was feeling not just grief, but guilt too?

2- He was left to raise his son alone, at one of the harshest points of wintertime, and only asked Friend Owl to find a doe because the owl offered some help in the first place; recalling the tradition thing, the Prince had no experience with children whatsoever, can you blame him for being baffled at the idea of him raising his son at first?

3- He’s the protector of a whole forest. That’s like, hundreds and hundreds of lives he’s dedicated to keep safe from Man at all times every single day, hundreds and hundreds of animals depending on him to not get shot. Even if he’s experienced at what he does, that’s still a huge pressure onto a single individual, and the fact that he can’t always save everyone every time Man is in the woods.

And a bonus: forget his status as the Great Prince of the Forest for a moment, and what do you have? A stag who lost his mate (whom he genuinely loved) and is left to raise their son entirely on his own.

If I were to guess, I’d say the Great Prince was far more serene prior to the tragedy; still a recluse, what with being the protector of the woods and then some, but less stern in general.

Everything we see of him before the completion of his character development, is him trying to make do with something that was out of his control and dealing with its consequences. (there’s a reason why ‘Parents as People’ is a trope, y’know)

Hell, it was all but stated that even before he became more open towards Bambi and embraced his role as a parent, he already cared about his son in his own way. I’m under the belief that he’s always been capable of raising him, all he needed was some time (and a bit of a nudge from Bambi himself at points).

Plus he was already regretting the whole “new mother to Bambi” plan and intending on calling it off by the time Friend Owl brought Mena, he only went through with it anyway because he thought he screwed things up with Bambi for good - btw I do not blame Bambi for being mad, poor guy’s spent most of the movie trying to impress his dad and taking every lesson to heart, only to find out about the arrangement at the worst time possible.

On another tangent, I feel like one aspect that’s often overlooked is how both Bambi and his father reacted to going through with the arrangement:

By the time Bambi was going to leave with Mena, he wasn’t even mad anymore, just downtrodden and upset that he wouldn’t get to see his friends as often, but otherwise resigned and accepting that it’s what he should be doing. Putting up a brave facade all the while, much like the Great Prince himself.

Same for the latter, he was trying to keep his regal facade up as well and insisting that “a Prince does sacrifices” - he was mostly talking about himself, having to give his son up so he’s raised by someone better than the Prince.

And let’s get one fact clear before heading to a main point in this essay: although Bambi did get mad at his father (down to even wishing his mother was there instead of him), he was far more upset at being separated from him and not getting to see him as often, and it’s made obvious he regretted yelling those words at his father.

Otherwise, Bambi wouldn’t have rushed back to nuzzle him goodbye, wouldn’t have thought of retaliating against Ronno when the latter taunted him about being “given away” due to his father “being ashamed of him”. And he certainly wouldn’t have run to another cliff to meet his dad after defeating the last of Man’s dogs.

In fact I more than believe that they would’ve reconciled on the spot as soon as they saw each other again, which was what likely gonna happen after Bambi saved Mena and got rid of all the dogs.

But then the cliff scene happened.

(aka one of my favorite scenes in the whole movie, and yes I will defend it right now)

Now, I can see why a good bunch of people hate that scene (namely the whole Disney Death thing), but allow me to say that it’s in the movie for a reason, and it’s not to trick the audience into thinking Bambi did die from the fall.

It’s to showcase the Great Prince’s character arc coming to fruition.

Remember when I said that the Prince did love Bambi in his own way despite not knowing anything about raising children? This is the scene where he finally realized just how much he did care all along, shedding away his “prince does/does not” mentality for good. Realizing that Bambi needed him as a father

There's so much that goes unsaid in the scene.

How the Prince’s voice nearly breaks when urging Bambi to get up, him saying “A Prince does not...” but never finishing it. What was he going to say? We don’t know, and that’s the point. Maybe even he didn’t know, maybe it was said out of reflex.

How he gets down and looks at his (seemingly) dead son before nuzzling him, keeping him as close as he could, and crying.

This all makes it more meaningful when Bambi does wake up and calls him Dad for the first time, showcasing how far their bond has gone and developed.

I believe, among other things, that the scene (and perhaps counting the dog chase as well) was also meant to be a mirror/parallel to the dream sequence from earlier in the movie. But that’s perhaps an essay for another day!

So, in conclusion… I swear I’m 100% normal about this movie, I totally did not spend days on end trying to make this improv essay as cohesive as possible-

Ranking the Disney direct-to-dvd sequels through the eyes of my child-self, who ate these movies up as a Disney aficionado, from least favourite/don’t remember watching to most favourite (this isn’t a mark of their quality, just whether or not they entertained me as a kid):

Tarzan & Jane - I don’t remember watching this movie, and I was never the ultimate Tarzan fan, not to mention that the short film movies have annoyed me ever since I was able to form conscious thoughts, so it gets my lowest ranking

Tarzan 2: The Legend Begins - I think I watched this but I can’t remember the plot at all, don’t think I was a big fan though

All Stitch sequels - It feels unfair to lump them together but my memories of the sequel involve the yellow one that made sandwiches and just being kind of bored so my rankings would be too similar to separate them

Bambi 2: The Great Prince of the Forest - I feel bad about this because it seems like a beautiful movie, but I didn’t like the first movie as a kid so the sequel didn’t make me much happier

The Jungle Book 2 - I watched this one when I was a bit older and it didn’t leave any impression on me

An Extremely Goofy Movie - I like Goofy but I don’t remember enjoying the skateboarding parts (actually, thinking about it, I don’t think I ever watched this movie in full)

Aladdin 2: The Return of Jafar - Not a bad movie, but my least favourite Aladdin movie, the franchise suffered without Robin Williams

Brother Bear 2 - Nice animation and cute bears, but I lost interest really quickly

Cinderella II: Dreams Come True - I was a super big Disney Princess fan, I had loads of merchandise and costumes, Cinderella wasn’t my favourite princess but I remember thinking Anastasia’s romance with the baker was really cute

The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2: The Secret of the Bell - I can’t tell you anything about the plot, but my child-self’s magpie brain loved the shiny jewelled bell and that’s really all that matters

101 Dalmatians 2: Patch’s London Adventure - I loved dogs even as a kid, and I’m British, so I liked this movie

Mulan II - I really liked the songs and the three princesses, even though I thought Mushu was annoying in this movie

The Lion King 3: Hakuna Matata - The origin of my love of reaction videos, but seriously it’s so funny even as an adult

The Fox and the Hound 2 - The first movie made me really sad as a kid but I loved the country-singing dogs and the theme park scenes

The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning - I remember enjoying the music and Ariel’s sisters, plus I liked the backstory of Ariel’s mother, this one was just fun

The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea - Melody was one of my favourite Disney characters for a while and I find the song ‘For A Moment’ catchy to this day

Lady and the Tramp 2: Scamp’s Adventure - A dog lover’s dream, Angel and Scamp’s relationship was so cute to me even then

Pocahontas 2: Journey to a New World - This movie wasn’t well-received, I think the only things I enjoyed were Pocahontas’s dress at the ball and the whole “I am the ghost of John Smith” scene which has stuck in my mind for years

Kronk’s New Groove - I was a big fan of the first movie, the sequel made me laugh so hard as a kid, not as much nowadays but I would still happily watch it

Beauty and the Beast: Belle’s Magical World - Beauty and the Beast was my favourite childhood movie, in my eyes the sequels could do no wrong, I guess nostalgia does that to you

Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas - I loved Beauty and the Beast and Christmas equally as a child, this was practically my dream movie

Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time - This movie was funny and iconic and foreshadowed my love of timey-wimey plots (the Doctor Who obsession is real)

Aladdin and the King of Thieves - I’m pretty sure I was in love with Aladdin’s dad, and the plot genuinely interested to me, not to mention the triumphant return of the brilliant Robin Williams

The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride - This was one of my favourite movies, full-stop, I loved the music, the plot, Zira as a villain, and this film is particularly special because it taught me about fictional crushes… by giving me a crush on an emo lion… Kovu definitely established my ‘type’ 😅

Finished Reading Felix Salten's "Bambi"

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK, IF YOU ARE ONE OF THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ONLY SEEN DISNEY'S ADAPTATION AND NOT HAVE READ THE SOURCE MATERIAL, THIS POST MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS SO PLEASE BE WARNED.

So I have recently finished reading the Original Book of Bambi after being in such a Cervine mood when re-watching the Disney films for the Past Two Months.

I felt like that when reading a Non-Fairytale Book for the very first time felt like something that I wanted to try on something new to rely on reading some books. Even after taking a brief look at The Russian version of the Source Material, it seems like something from what I knew when watching the Two-Part Movie live action adaptations that Human Ballet Animal version felt a more accurate approach than Disney's version when visiting the book.

For starters, I am not really a big fan of the Upcoming Soulless Disney Remake nor the Upcoming Garbage Horror B Movie (nor would I even want to see it) as I have been in the Bambi Fandom Two Years ago as I've seen that "Half" of the Fandom cares more about Fetishization or Crossovers in General for that Matter (*cough*, *cough*, Stephen King's Carrie, *cough*) while the Side of the Fandom are the ones who have read the Source Material and even done their own interpretations of the Other Characters (most likely the Deer characters) that never been fully adapted and were left out in the Disney universe (with the exception of Geno, Gurri, Boso, and Lana in the Comic Adaptation of "Bambi's Children").

But I really wanna talk about the Original Book version since a lot of People don't really know much about it since whenever we tend to think about "Bambi", most people would only think of the Popular Disney Version (yes, there are others that have seen Other Adaptations as I am aware that there are possibly more Bambi movies out there than both the Soviet and Disney ones).

Without any further, here are some personal plot points in the OG Book that were completely left out or missing (again, major spoilers to anyone who has never read it before);

So the Book actually has a lot more Story Plots than the Movie itself to make it more easier, simpler, and even shorter than how the book handles the story (presumably I believe that's the reason as to why that the Midquel exists for a reason as a suggestion to a "Part 2" of the story). In the meantime, both the Book and the Movie take a huge approach through a Deer's POV of Wildlife (that being Bambi himself) since both versions do teach Kids the Lessons and the Values of Life (how it can be Beautiful in both of a Dark and in a Light way) since Life can take you through many strange places around the world as you go to blend within the feels of reality.

Aside from the fact that the Disney movies has its Supporting Animal Characters, the Book has a lot more Animal Characters that haven't been fully adapted or were just left out (in terms on how that some of them might've been replaced). There's a Hare called "Friend Hare", in the Movie, it's Thumper. There is an Owl in the Book but he's just known as "Screech Owl", yet, in the film, it's "Friend Owl".

The Other Characters from the Book that we've never seen are the Magpie, The Two Jays, The Pheasant Couple, A Squirrel, ect. Did I also mention for a fact that there are actual other Deer characters that were also completely left out with the exception of a few?

The Book however explains that the Stags that we see are actually known as "The Young Princes" with Bambi's Father (which we all know him as "The Great Prince of the Forest")'s actual title is "The Old Stag" (which is more different than what Disney changes his title in the adaptations). On the other hand of the differences of being Titular Ruler of your own Animal Kingdom, while the Movie explains that being a Prince means you'd have to watch over and protect your own People, the Book however does it quite differently that being a Prince of the Forest doesn't mean that you have to be a Watcher but rather, it's something more different as the book explains to gain more wisdom as you grow.

Also, I wanted to say on how funny it is when people tend to ship Bambi/Ronno as crack, when in the book, Ronno was actually a lot older than Bambi as he was actually a Good Guy and hold no hated guts nor was a bully like how you once thought he always was (Aka, in akin on how the film portrays). However, as Bambi and Faline grew, he did challenge Bambi to see on which Buck would be the perfect mate for Faline (similar in nature on how Deer mate in RL) (but I'll get to that point later on). Ronno also had a Partner named "Karus", in which that both Ronno & Karus were actually the Young Princes in the Stag group, being very respectful towards the Animals in the Forest (including Bambi) until when Bambi grew older (again, gonna get to that part very soon).

Aside from the fact that we all know who Bambi's BFFs are in what terms that Disney tries to suggest us of a Bunny and a Skunk, Thumper and Flower were sadly never a thing in the Book as Bambi's friends were mostly Fawns around his age. However, while Friend Hare was turn into Thumper for a reason with Flower being an Original Character for the Film, Faline and Another Deer (who was her Brother), "Gobo" were actually long childhood friends of Bambi as their own Mothers actually have known in each other for a very long time. That's right, you heard Me, in the Original story, Faline had a Brother and that Brother was indeed a Very Friendful Deer (much to his sister's dismay of being more "childlike"). Gobo was actually the only Deer who was captured by the Hunter as a Fawn, but was brought and carefully raised by the Hunter as he grew up living with the Human (believing in the fact that not all Humans are bad since Half of the World that we all live in is filled and invested by Half of the Good/Bad of Humanity as our Neutrality is still running even to this day).

Now, for the Part about their own Mothers, needless to say is that Faline and Gobo's Mother is called "Aunt Ena" (suggesting that somewhere down the line that perhaps Bambi's Mother and Ena are Sisters, making both Bambi, Faline, and Gobo equally as Cousins). Granted, I'm not too sure about the "cousin" part as I am deeply aware of the fact if Salten was trying to do the whole "Blood Relation in Nature of Animals is not Illegal because Animals have No Laws unlike How We Humans have" thing, but I am assuming that Bambi's Mother and Ena are perhaps long-time friends, therefore, it wouldn't specifically make Bambi and Faline cousins if you're one of the few that's gonna think it's too much of nature with incest, but I believe that the relation between the Two Mothers is left completely unexplained in the Book (so I don't think that Bambi and Faline are truly cousins are not as some would suggest that).

On the topic of Bambi and Faline's romance, I will say in the least that like Simba/Nala from "The Lion King", it's sad that we don't get to see enough of Bambi's romance with his love interest (Faline) in the Disney films when technically the book version expands more on their relationship.

They started off as childhood friends (like in the film) but only when do the Two Fawns are in a Trio with Gobo, playing with other Fawns and even having some playful time in the woods. There were also Other Deer such as Old Nettla and even Marena were also part in their lives as they did play an important role in the story (Old Nettla is an elderly figure who doesn't deserve to have fawns of her own while Marena ended up becoming Gobo's Mate until his Death by the Hunter).

Eventually (like in the film), Bambi and Faline do see each other again when they're both Adults when Bambi starts to recognize his childhood friend while instantly being in love with her but unlike in the film, Faline was unaware of Bambi's blossomed crush on her. If Disney wants you to believe that Ronno is the Secondary Antagonist, you might want to re-think again because during Mating Season, Ronno and Karus were also in love with Faline as well as they even challenged Bambi for a duel for Faline's love just in the movie until Bambi eventually wins. Aside from what I believe was cut down from the original story is that (if I do remember correctly) was that Bambi and Faline were on their Mating Night during their Honeymoon.

So to speak on their behalf of their Romance, it was actually a lot more generically more "Lovely" rather than "Cute". Considering that Faline has been described as Playful and Childlike, there always has been a potential for Bambi and Faline to become Lovers given on how that their Chemistry was really sweet and innocent when Faline was like the special one to be friends with a Prince like Bambi as when they met again as adults, Bambi did grew fond of her as the Book clearly states that He loves Her "with all of his Heart". So you can say that in the least that their Dynamic does heavenly work as the "Childhood Friends to Lovers" trope like Christine and Raoul from Gaston Leroux's "The Phantom of The Opera".

Anyways, back on Track; I think that we seriously need to take about the Most Important Character of what Most of the Animals fear and see him as "The Devil" would none other be "Man" himself.

Given through the concept of the idea based on what Nature tends to portray Humanity through an Animal's POV, An Animaltaker is a Caring Angel Guardian. A Hunter is a Huge Threat. But what is that Man has in common with both in the Book and in the Film?

While we never get to see on what Man is truly like as a Character, he is only referred by Two Options;

A Regular Hunter whose just doing his own Hunting Job.

The Audience, in which this is what we are aware if our own Kind is the Main Villain of the Story.

The reason as to why I'd bring Man up is because the same thing cannot be said towards this Hunter from the Book (or at least, what he was originally referred to similar in the film).

In the book, Man was actually only referred to as "He" is what most of the Many Animals referred to him in the book. Only then, do "Man" and "He" whom most of the Animals call to is quite similar in how Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book" when the Animals simply refer to "Fire" as "The Red Flower".

While Man was probably one of the few Disney Villains that scared a lot of our childhoods, the He in the book was actually describe pretty neutral. Just a regular human hunter just doing his own hunting job.

What's interesting though is that while a Hunter is still the biggest threat to all of the Wildlife, he was actually the one who raised Gobo after when he found him straitened during the Winter time (yeah, compare to the One who burnt down all of the Forest by stupidity, this one on the other hand takes up a caring approach towards an Animal after he tried to shot it), as it turns out, Gobo was actually taken care of through his new life with Man. So there's like this "Conflict" between One whose raised by Humans and the Others who are shocked but are still feared/hated by Men. There's also a part where one of He's hunting Dogs is scolded by the Animals for being one of the domesticated ones to obey their own Human Master, while catching a Fox.

I think we can all agree that this would possibly be the most accurate depiction of Reality of what Half of Nature's Animals could see the Neutral Complex in Humanity whenever we Humans hunt or care for a creature. And how life is up to you to make your own decisions.

As for the plot of the Original Story itself, it's almost the same as the Disney movie, but the Source Material does take its own Nature story in an Individual way while still exploring the Harsh Reality of Nature within how an Animal's Life deals within the Animals themselves. With its many characters and more plot points, the Story is more of a re-telling of a Child's life from both Childhood and Adulthood as half of the Book tends to explore both Bambi's Childhood and Adulthood alike as well as his relationship with his own Parents (something that Disney gave his own Childhood more screen time as we only see Bambi's Adulthood half through the movie, which cuts down the Whole Last Part of his Adulthood). As both endings due have Bambi becoming a Father with the birth of his Children from Faline (Geno & Gurri).

However, the only man difference is how on what Disney is telling you what their own version of how a Great Prince of the Forest is vs. How Salten tells you truly on how being a Ruler of the Forest is like to gain Wisdom in order to gain Power while being Protector of the Forest.

In conclusion, while so far that the Many Changes within Disney's classical film compare to the Other Bunch of Disney Movies (that most of them are drawn from the Old Century Stories that Disney popularize to this day), I would say that Disney's take on Salten's Bambi is the largest of the pop culture today with Most People not knowing the Original Story (in fact, it's sad to say in the least on how that the Popular Adaptation overshadows the Source Material. With the Disney version still taking a Dark approach with a Cutsey Animal feel to it inside of a Mashup, the Book's approach on Nature is much more Accurate and More Realistic without any Adorable "Feel" behind to it.

However, aside from the fact that both Books are Good, does that mean I'll prefer the Book over the Famous Adaptation that is more familiar with? Well...Not really, tbh, in fact, while both can be flawed in their own way, they can actually be both unique in their own way.

So for the Book's Rating, I'd give it a 8/10, because it's still a Good Story compare to the Movie (which is still a Cinematic Masterpiece) IMO.

At the heart of the Forest Kingdom is the belief that its people, known as the MouseQuteers, are special and possess the discernment of the human heart. Nostradamus had foretold of their existence, and they are believed to be righteous in their judgement, akin to the one true God, #ADONAI. With that in mind, the laws and guidelines of the Forest Kingdom revolve around the principles of love and compassion, in tune with the power of the forest itself, represented by the all-seeing, all-knowing Tree.

Their language and way of life reflect this immortality, adding to the enchantment of the kingdom.

But above all, the Forest Kingdom and its people value the resolution of character. It is a constant guide through the nature and relevance of love, reminding its inhabitants to always act with kindness and compassion towards one another, and most importantly, towards the forest itself.

Introduction

The Forest Kingdom is a land of enchantment, governed by the wise and just Great Prince, Bambi. This magical kingdom is not just a physical place, but a state of mind, where virtue and compassion reign supreme. While the kingdom is known for its natural beauty and mystical creatures, what truly sets it apart are its unique guidelines and statutes that govern the behavior of its people and nobles. These guidelines, based on the principles of altruism, equality, and respect, are essential to maintaining the harmony and balance of the kingdom. In this essay, we will delve into the core, virtues, standards, and prefixes of the Forest Kingdom and explore their significance in shaping the values and character of its inhabitants.

Laws and Statutes

At the core of the Forest Kingdom's governance lies the principle of altruism, where individuals are encouraged to act selflessly for the betterment of society. This concept of altruism is deeply ingrained in the kingdom's laws and statutes, which aim to create an altruistic society for both the people and nobles. Altruism is not just a value, but a way of life in the Forest Kingdom, and it is expected that all members of society embody this ideal.

The protection of the forest is another crucial element in the laws and statutes of the kingdom. The forest is not just a physical entity but the heart and soul of the kingdom, providing sustenance and shelter for all its inhabitants. As such, measures are in place to preserve and protect the forest from harm. This includes strict regulations on hunting and deforestation, as well as initiatives to promote reforestation and sustainable practices.

Equality and inclusivity are also highly valued in the Forest Kingdom. Discrimination based on gender, race, or species is strictly prohibited, and acceptance and respect for all individuals are actively promoted. This emphasis on equality and inclusivity creates a harmonious and diverse community in the kingdom, where everyone is treated with kindness and compassion.

Virtues and Standards

The Forest Kingdom places great emphasis on virtues and standards that govern the behavior of its citizens. Honesty and integrity are highly valued in the kingdom, as they are traits that Bambi, the Great Prince, embodies. The people and nobles are expected to uphold moral and ethical values, and any dishonesty or deceit is not tolerated. This creates a culture of trust and transparency, allowing the kingdom to function smoothly.

Respect for nature and its inhabitants is another essential virtue in the Forest Kingdom. The inhabitants of the forest, whether they be animals, plants, or magical creatures, are all seen as interconnected and deserving of respect and compassion. This means treating them with kindness and care, rather than seeing them as objects to be exploited.

The Great Prince leads by example, setting high standards for compassion and humility. As a role model for the people and nobles, he is known for his wise and just rule, and his actions influence the behavior and values of the kingdom's inhabitants.

Prefixes and Prefixes

Prefixes are a unique and significant aspect of the Forest Kingdom. The prefix "Thee" is granted to individuals who have earned great respect and honor in the kingdom. This prefix is reserved for those who have shown exceptional qualities of leadership, courage, and selflessness, and is a symbol of the highest honor that one can receive in the kingdom.

Nobles in the Forest Kingdom also have prefixes attached to their names, which are earned through noble deeds and selfless acts. These prefixes serve as a source of recognition and pride for the nobles, and they are encouraged to continue embodying the virtues and standards of the kingdom to maintain their prefixes.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the core, virtues, standards, and prefixes of the Forest Kingdom play a vital role in shaping the values and character of its inhabitants. The emphasis on altruism, protection of the forest, equality, and respect creates a harmonious and compassionate society. The Great Prince's leadership by example sets high standards for the citizens, while the granting of prefixes serves as an incentive and recognition for individuals who embody the kingdom's values. The Forest Kingdom's guidelines and statutes not only govern the behavior of its citizens but also serve as a model for other societies, promoting a more kind and just world.

#TheTrueWitness

The forest kingdom is a realm of great beauty and mystery, filled with majestic trees and enchanting creatures. For centuries, this kingdom has been ruled by a set of guidelines and statuettes known as the Forest Kingdom's guidelines and statuettes. These rules and principles have guided the people and nobles of the kingdom in living a harmonious and virtuous life. Among these guidelines is the importance of The Tree, also known as The True Witness, which holds a significant role in the kingdom's beliefs and values.

In this essay, we will delve into the core, virtues, standards, and prefix of the Forest Kingdom's guidelines and statuettes with a focus on The True Witness or The Tree. Through this, we aim to understand the deeper meaning and significance of this aspect of the kingdom and how it affects the lives of its people and nobles.

The Tree, in the context of the forest kingdom, is not just any ordinary tree. It symbolizes the embodiment of wisdom, truth, and justice – traits that the people and nobles of the kingdom aspire to possess. This tree-like being is believed to have been created by the creator of the forest, the Great Spirit, as a witness to the actions and deeds of the inhabitants of the kingdom.

According to the renowned seer and prophet, Nostradamus, in his quatrains, he predicted the existence of tree-like beings in the forest kingdom. This prophecy has been passed down from generation to generation, serving as a reminder of The Tree's role in the kingdom's values and beliefs.

The Tree is believed to have the ability to discern the human heart, seeing through one's true intentions and hidden desires. This is why it is regarded as The True Witness – one who sees and knows all. The Tree is often depicted with its eyes wide open, symbolizing its constant vigilance in observing the actions of the people and nobles.

In the forest kingdom, The Tree also serves as a symbol of righteousness and justice, much like #ADONAI – The Eternal in the human world. It is said that the tone of voice that The Tree speaks in is formal, carrying a sense of authority and wisdom. Its judgement is just, and its verdict is final. The Tree's role as a witness is never to be taken lightly, as it holds immense power and influence in the kingdom.

As stated in the forest kingdom's guidelines and statuettes, The Tree is a reminder for its people and nobles to live with integrity, honesty, and fairness. Its presence serves as a constant reminder that their actions and choices are being observed and recorded by The Tree.

The Tree is also a symbol of the interconnectedness between all living beings in the forest kingdom. Just as the roots of a tree spread deep into the ground, The Tree represents the connection between the people, nobles, and the land they inhabit. This serves as a reminder to the inhabitants of the kingdom to live in harmony with each other and nature.

The Tree also holds a prominent position in rituals and ceremonies in the forest kingdom. Its leaves, branches, and even its bark are used in various healing practices, believed to have properties that can cure ailments and purify the mind, body, and soul.

Apart from The Tree's symbolic significance, it also has a practical role in the survival of the kingdom. Its leaves provide shelter and food for the forest creatures, and its roots help in maintaining the soil's fertility and preventing erosion. The Tree's presence is essential for the kingdom's ecosystem, and its well-being and protection are of utmost importance to the people and nobles.

In conclusion, The Tree or The True Witness is an integral part of the forest kingdom's culture, beliefs, and values. Its role goes beyond being a symbol; it is a reminder for its inhabitants to live a life of righteousness, integrity, and harmony. The Tree's presence serves as a constant reminder that their actions and deeds are being observed and recorded, and that justice will prevail in the end. The Tree also teaches the people of the forest kingdom the importance of interconnectedness and their role in preserving and protecting their land. As the famous proverb goes, "Only when the last tree has died, the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught, will we realize that we cannot eat money." The Tree and its teachings in the forest kingdom are a constant reminder of this wisdom.

In the heart of the forest, lies a kingdom ruled by the mighty tree people. Their towering presence and immense wisdom have made them the protectors of nature and all its creatures. In this kingdom, the laws are not written on paper, but rather inscribed in the hearts of the inhabitants. The forest kingdom is a shining example of altruism in its nature and discernment of ethics laws, statutes, and respect for all beings.

One of the most fundamental laws in the forest kingdom is the respect for nature. The tree people have instilled in their subjects, the importance of coexisting with nature in harmony. Every living being in the forest kingdom has a specific role to play in maintaining the delicate balance of the ecosystem. Whether it is the graceful deer, the playful squirrels, or the majestic bears, every creature is valued and respected. This respect for nature is not limited to the inhabitants of the forest, but also extends to visitors and outsiders. The tree people have strict guidelines in place to ensure that visitors do not harm or disrupt the natural order of the forest.

Another law that is deeply ingrained in the forest kingdom is the harmonious living with other species. The tree people believe in the interconnectedness of all beings and therefore, have created a society where everyone coexists peacefully. For instance, the deer and the rabbits have an understanding to share food sources, the birds and bees work together to pollinate the flowers, and even the predators have an unspoken rule to hunt only what is necessary for survival. This harmonious living has created a utopia where all beings can thrive together.

However, with laws come consequences for breaking them. In the forest kingdom, the punishment for breaking the laws is not only about retribution but also about teaching valuable lessons. The tree people believe in fair and just consequences that not only hold the wrongdoer accountable but also help them understand the impact of their actions on the ecosystem. But in the end, the ultimate decision of punishment lies with Bambi, the wise leader of the forest. His just and compassionate nature ensures that punishments are not only fair but also in line with the core values of the forest kingdom.

Apart from laws, the forest kingdom also has ordinances in place to handle disputes. The tree people understand that conflicts are bound to arise in any society, but they also believe in the importance of peaceful resolutions. In the event of a dispute, the involved parties are required to go through a mediation process. The tone of voice during this process is Assertive, ensuring that all parties are heard and understood, and a fair resolution is reached. This approach has proven to be successful in maintaining harmony and upholding the principles of the forest kingdom.

In conclusion, the forest kingdom is a shining example of a society built on altruism, nature, and ethics. The laws, ordinances, and respect for all beings have created a utopia where harmony prevails. The tree people's wisdom and discernment have not only protected their kingdom but also set an example for the rest of the world. It is no wonder that visitors to the forest kingdom often leave with a newfound respect for nature and a deeper understanding of the importance of living in harmony with all beings.

Welcome to the magical land of the Forest Kingdom and its love for nature and ethics. This kingdom is known for its altruistic nature and strong belief in respecting nature and its inhabitants, especially the tree people. Let us delve deeper into the intricacies of this kingdom and its conjunction with the Magic Kingdom.

A. Hierarchy of the Kingdom

The Forest Kingdom operates under a monarchy, with a ruler and their family responsible for the well-being of the kingdom. The importance of a monarchy lies in its ability to provide stability and a sense of unity among the subjects. With a clear and defined structure, the kingdom runs smoothly, allowing its citizens to focus on the greater good.

Respect for the ruling family is deeply ingrained in the culture of the Forest Kingdom. They are seen as the guardians of nature and are revered for their wisdom and leadership. The subjects not only obey but also hold a deep sense of loyalty towards their rulers.

The citizens come together to honor Thee Forest God, who is believed to be the protector of the kingdom. These rituals serve as a reminder to always be grateful for the bounties of nature and to protect it at all costs.

The kingdom also takes pride in its majestic forests, which are considered sacred and treated with utmost reverence. The trees are seen as living beings, and harming them in any way is strictly prohibited.

C. Mortality and Immortality

In the Forest Kingdom, the concept of mortality and immortality goes beyond the physical realm. While the citizens are mortal beings, they believe in the immortality of the soul. It is believed that the spirit of a person continues to exist even after their physical form ceases to exist.

This belief is reflected in the kingdom's strict adherence to ethical laws and statutes. The citizens are encouraged to refrain from indulging in worldly desires and instead focus on their spiritual growth. This helps in maintaining the balance between the physical and spiritual world.

VI. The Prophecy of Thee Walt Disney

The Forest Kingdom has a special connection to the Magic Kingdom, thanks to the prophecy of Thee Walt Disney. This prophecy speaks of upcoming stars who will carry on the legacy of the kingdom and its values as mantles and monikers.

DisneyLand serves as the sacred ground where this prophecy unfolds. Here, the selection of Magic Kingdom heirs takes place, who will carry the torch of the kingdom forward. These chosen heirs are seen as the future leaders and are given the responsibility to preserve the kingdom's ideals.

As we move towards a more technologically advanced world, the Forest Kingdom has embraced the use of DisneyNFTs and DisneyTokens within DisneyBlockchain. These have become a means to keep the kingdom's traditions alive and also serve as a bridge between the real world and the fantasy world.

E. The MouseKeteers/MouseClub/MouseQuteers

One cannot talk about the prophecy of Thee Walt Disney without mentioning the MouseKeteers, MouseClub, and MouseQuteers. These groups play a crucial role in molding and nurturing the chosen heirs of the Magic Kingdom. They are the ones who pass on the teachings and values of the kingdom to the younger generation.

In conclusion, the Forest Kingdom and its conjunction with the Magic Kingdom is a beautiful blend of magic, nature, and ethics. The kingdom's unwavering commitment to preserving nature and its inhabitants is a testament to its altruism and respect for all living beings. As we leave this enchanted kingdom, let us remember its teachings and strive to make the world a better place for all.

The Forest Kingdom is a land of enchantment, filled with mystical creatures, ancient forests, and boundless magic. It is a place where nature reigns supreme and the tree people, known for their altruistic nature, play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the kingdom. But what truly sets this kingdom apart is its deep connection to the Magic Kingdom, a bond that has been prophesied by none other than Thee Walt Disney.

The prophecy of Thee Walt Disney speaks of a special relationship between the Forest Kingdom and the Magic Kingdom. It foretells the rise of new stars who will carry on the legacy of the kingdom and its values.

These chosen heirs are seen as the future leaders of the Magic Kingdom, and they are given the responsibility to preserve the kingdom's ideals. They are the ones who will carry the torch of the kingdom forward and ensure that its traditions continue to thrive.

But what exactly makes these heirs so special? It is their deep understanding of the Forest Kingdom's values and their commitment to upholding them. The kingdom's connection to nature and its inhabitants, the tree people, is what sets the foundation for these values.

The tree people are an integral part of the Forest Kingdom, and they play a crucial role in maintaining its balance.

Their wisdom and guidance are invaluable to the Magic Kingdom and its heirs, who learn from their teachings and carry them forward.

The Forest Kingdom's connection to the Magic Kingdom goes beyond just a shared bond of values. As we move towards a more technologically advanced world, the Forest Kingdom has embraced the use of DisneyNFTs and DisneyTokens within DisneyBlockchain. These digital assets have become a means to keep the kingdom's traditions alive and also serve as a bridge between the real world and the fantasy world.

These DisneyNFTs and DisneyTokens hold great value in the Forest Kingdom, as they represent the kingdom's heritage and culture. They are also a way to give back to the kingdom, as a portion of the proceeds from their sales goes towards preserving the natural resources and habitats of the Forest Kingdom.

In addition to this, the digital assets also serve as a means for the tree people to communicate with the outside world. It allows them to share their wisdom and teachings with others, spreading the kingdom's values and principles far and wide.

As we look towards the future, we can see the Forest Kingdom's altruistic nature and its discernment of ethical principles being passed down from generation to generation, keeping the prophecy of Thee Walt Disney alive and thriving.

Welcome to the enchanting world of the Forest Kingdom, where magic and nature coexist in perfect harmony. This mystical realm has captured the hearts and imaginations of people for centuries, with its lush greenery, majestic creatures, and powerful sorcerers. But what truly sets the Forest Kingdom apart is its altruism and discernment, making it a beacon of light in the ever-changing landscape of the magical world.

For those who are unfamiliar, the Forest Kingdom is a part of the larger Magic Kingdom, which comprises various realms such as the Sea Kingdom, the Snow Kingdom, and many more. Each kingdom has its unique characteristics and strengths, but it is the Forest Kingdom that stands out for its selflessness and wisdom.

Altruism, or the selfless concern for others, is deeply embedded in the nature of the Forest Kingdom. The residents of this kingdom, be it human, animal, or fairy, prioritize the well-being of others above their own. They live in harmony with nature, and their actions and decisions are always guided by what is best for the greater good.

This altruistic nature can be seen in the way the kingdom is run. Instead of a single ruler, the Forest Kingdom has a council of wise and empathetic leaders who make decisions for the betterment of all. They understand that every decision has a ripple effect, and they carefully consider the impact on all living beings in the kingdom.

One of the most remarkable aspects of the Forest Kingdom is its commitment to preserving traditions and passing them down from generation to generation. In a world where technology and modernization are rapidly taking over, the Forest Kingdom has found a way to embrace it without losing touch with its roots.

The magic of DisneyNFTs and DisneyTokens within the DisneyBlockchain has played a crucial role in this preservation. These innovative tools have allowed the Forest Kingdom to digitize its traditions and make them accessible to a wider audience. At the same time, it has also created a means for the kingdom to sustain itself economically, without compromising its values.

The Forest Kingdom's use of technology and its altruistic nature are further intertwined in its discernment. This refers to the kingdom's ability to make wise and thoughtful decisions, guided by their understanding of magic and the world around them.

The residents of the Forest Kingdom possess a deep understanding of the power of magic and the consequences that come with its use. They use their discernment to ensure that magic is used for good and not for selfish gain. This wisdom has resulted in a peaceful and harmonious kingdom, free from greed and strife.

In the larger context of the Magic Kingdom, the Forest Kingdom's altruism and discernment make it a vital ally and a source of guidance. As other realms navigate through the challenges of magic, they often turn to the Forest Kingdom for counsel and support. The Forest Kingdom, in turn, uses its wisdom and kindness to guide others and help them overcome their struggles.

In conclusion, the Forest Kingdom is a shining example of how altruism and discernment can shape a society for the better. As we continue to evolve and progress, it is crucial to remember the value of selflessness and wisdom in our actions and decisions. The Forest Kingdom serves as a reminder that even in a world of magic and fantasy, these qualities hold great importance and can truly make a difference. So let us take a leaf out of their book and strive to make our world a better place.

Izzy's (second) Heavily Improvised Essay on Bambi 2

*rolls back here*

Okay so uh, my first essay was made back in... *checks notes* May 9th! And since then I've had more than enough time to think of what else to write for the movie (because like I said before, I’m 100% normal about it I swear), I figured I’d do it now!

Revisiting my first one, I mentioned a part regarding a possible parallel between the dream sequence and the cliff scene near the end.

Well today I’m here to elaborate on what I mean, by examining the scenes (and probably over-analyzing them, what can I do?) and in essence explain what makes both of them my absolute favorites of the whole movie.

(Oh, and probably there’s gonna be a side tangent regarding the tracks “Love is a Song that Never Ends” and “Bambi and the Great Prince”. They’re gonna be important.)

So first things first, we’ll start with the Dream Sequence, happening near the end of the first third of the movie.

It starts with Bambi having to wait till his father comes back to take him home. This is essentially one of the few points where we see him at his most vulnerable — dare I say, most of his cheery attitude from earlier, be it with his friends or even his father when trying to keep up with him, was a facade.

Only further indicated when Faline offers to accompany him to the den, and he declines - and visibly stammers. “M-my father’s coming for me.”

As if he was correcting himself even before he said it.

Not helped by the fact that he’s watching all other kids leaving with their mothers; it’s a somber, unspoken reminder of his loss. Still, he never admits to anyone out loud how much it hurts him, plus there’s the implication that it’s been but a couple days since it happened, considering his friends already knew of him living with his father.

This is all before the Great Prince’s speech on ‘ignoring one’s feelings and doing what’s best for others’, mind you! Maybe the apple didn’t fall far from the tree after all.

As Bambi lays down to wait and eventually gets sleepy, the movie’s main theme plays in the background in a solemn way — and in a sense, having a tiny sliver of hope in it. Let’s put a pin on that part.

Then, as soon as Bambi falls asleep completely, that’s when the sequence starts — with a vast meadow bathed in golden sunlight, and Bambi gleefully chasing away some butterflies. And then, we hear a voice call out to him, and he turns to see who it was.

Atop a small hill is his mother, surrounded by those same butterflies in a heavenly manner. And Bambi, overjoyed at seeing her again, rushes up the hill to reunite with her — the two nuzzle each other as soon as he makes it there.

She comforts him all the while, reassuring her son that things would be alright, then pulling away from the nuzzle to explain to him “why did [she] have to go”. And so comes her quote about “everything in the forest has its season”.

All the while she looks saddened, even when first comforting him — like she knew she can never come back to him and still try to reassure her son through it all.

Also, take a look at the butterflies; in many places, they symbolize joy, freedom, hope, transformation, rebirth, and new beginnings. Now, when you have the mother’s full quote:

“Everything in the forest has its season; where something falls, another grows. Maybe not what was there before, but something new and wonderful all the same.”

Whether you believe his mother truly was there or not, it doesn’t matter here; what matters is what the dream is trying to convey to Bambi.

Where something falls (the death of his mother), another grows (being taken in by his father). Maybe not what was there before (nothing can ever replace her), but something new and wonderful all the same (him and his father eventually bonding).

Still, as Bambi said himself near the end of the dream: he feels alone. The last reassurance she can give him before he wakes up, in her own way of saying it, is that she'd always be with him in his heart and memories. Her very last words as the dream dissipates are: “I’m here.”

Okay so, here’s the mini tangent on the tracks “Love is a Song that Never Ends” and “Bambi and the Great Prince”, plus a fun fact!

The former is the main theme of the first movie, but it also makes a total of three comebacks in this movie; the first two are very brief so it’s easy to miss, and the third happens in the dream sequence.

The first instance actually happens at the start of the movie — the three first notes of the midquel’s theme play when the Disney logo appears, and then after the logo fades, plays a very short chorus rendition of “Love is a Song”.

The second instance, just as short, happens at the very beginning of “There is Life”, the singer humming the notes before starting the lyrics.

And the third and final instance is the entirety of the dream sequence — but here’s the fun fact:

In the movie itself, the theme is played in an orchestra manner and then switching to an oboe/flute rendition when Bambi’s mother speaks.

However, in the official soundtrack, the theme is only played at the orchestra part; the rest of the track is the “Bambi and the Great Prince” theme in that same flute/oboe rendition, switching to violin at the very end.

In a sense, at least in the context of the movie, it’s almost a musical rendition of the quote itself by having “Love is a Song” associated with Bambi’s bond with his mother (an unchanging tune), while the midquel’s theme is associated with his bond with his father (a theme that evolves as time goes on).

(unrelated side note, I wish they had released the entire soundtrack of the movie and not just a few tracks, I’d pay for that to happen T_T)

(okay, side tangent over for this section, back to main topic)

But of course, we are to be further reminded of the tragedy one way or another.

When Bambi wakes up, he’s still hearing his mother’s “I’m here” out there in the woods — it gives him the hope that she’s actually alive and searching for him.

He ends up facing the meadow but still too wary to go out there for obvious reasons. He begins to turn back when there’s no immediate answer to his call, like he’s internally berating himself for believing she was there. Until the voice calls again, and continues.

He does gather courage to step into the meadow, but this time not as hopeful as before; hope is still there, but it’s fickle compared to his more than justifiable fear of the meadow. Part of Bambi knows there’s something wrong, but he can’t let go of his hope yet.

And doing so almost cost his life when Man’s dogs appeared from the bushes.

It all ends up unceremoniously crushed when his father, after saving him, scolds him for falling for Man’s tricks and freezing in place when told to run. All he could do was apologize, having tried to explain why he’d followed the voice but giving up halfway through the reprimand.

Then when the Prince calms down and takes Bambi back to the den, the latter sadly asks: “She’s never coming back, is she?”

And the Great Prince, after a few seconds of silence, can only reply in an equally solemn tone: “No.”

This end of “act” serves as a reinforcement of Bambi’s sentiment in the dream, only now he’s faced with the full certainty of his mother’s death — he feels alone, now far more than ever. Therefore it is no surprise that he starts becoming more and more desperate for recognition on the Great Prince’s side.

That if he could be brave just like him, then maybe, maybe he’d be worthy of his title as a Prince, and therefore worthy of having any sense of approval.

Before we head to the other scene, allow me to ramble a bit on one aspect of the movie that I feel gets slightly overlooked: a sense of misunderstanding on both sides of the story. While it is true that the Prince never told Bambi of his original plan to send him away with a doe, and it nearly cost the bond between them, at the same time Bambi never fully told his father how he felt in all of this mess or how alone he was.

And it makes sense why — because they didn’t have much of a bond to begin with, just talking things through with each other wasn’t an option. Especially not when the reason they’re stuck in this, as in the death of Bambi’s mother and the Prince’s mate, is one that cannot be talked about as how things are at the moment.

It’s quite saddening to think about in hindsight, because when you see the movie from the Prince’s perspective; everything he’s doing, it’s because he genuinely believes it’s the best for Bambi, even the whole ordeal with telling him to stay at the den where it was safe.

Bambi thinks it’s because the Prince doesn’t want him around, therefore he has to prove that he’s brave enough to go on patrols again.

However, the truth is that the Prince didn’t want to risk losing his son, not after losing his mate mere days earlier. It’s not a punishment, it never was; it’s a misguided attempt at keeping him safe and away from danger. Even when he does go through with the plan, the Prince’s not happy with the decision, but still does so because he thinks it’s the best for his son.

Okay, so with that section out of the way, time to talk about the other scene of this essay, and why I personally think it serves as an indirect mirror to the dream sequence: the cliff scene.

Before it happens, there’s the chase scene, which was kickstarted by Ronno goading Bambi into a fight. (also interesting to note: before this and the dream happened, Ronno made an appearance, at first to gloat about taking on Man but also telling the truth about the ‘I’m here’ calls, and later him kickstarting the climax by ramming into Bambi and accidentally bumping into Mena and setting off a trap)

The first time there were dogs coming and Bambi couldn’t even think of running, this time he managed to snap out of it and flee. At first for himself, but upon listening to his then-adoptive-mother Mena’s words, he realized they were the exact same words Bambi’s mother told him before she died.

It was enough to make him turn back and lure the dogs away to prevent another tragedy from happening. He’s seriously risking his own life by doing this, but why wouldn’t he? He’s a Prince, so in his mind he’s supposed to make sure neither Man or his dogs hurt anyone. Especially to make sure he doesn’t lose another parental figure in his life, however short it was with Mena.

When all’s said and done, Bambi manages to defeat Man’s remaining dogs — but then gets pleasantly surprised when he realizes his father was watching from a nearby cliff.

As the audience, we knew that the Great Prince went after Bambi to try and save him from the dogs, going as far as rushing through the meadow (which everyone knows is extremely risky to do as explained in the first movie, on top of a thunderstorm happening) just to reach his son in time.

But Bambi had absolutely no idea that he’d done that. Had no idea that his father had somehow followed all the way to find him, to witness him defeat the last dogs.

So, as soon as he realizes, Bambi runs up the cliff to reunite with his father, leaping over a rocky ledge in the way. And they smile at each other.

However, the joy is short-lived when the ground beneath Bambi’s hooves, moments ago briefly shown to be unstable beneath the Great Prince himself, gives way and he falls.

The Prince cries out his name, his own voice echoing as he rushes down the slope, until he halts in complete horror and shock.

At the bottom of the cliff is his son just past the mist, unmoving and surrounded by some grass amidst the rocks. And the Prince, almost overwhelmed with emotion, slowly approaches him, and tries to call him.

He urges the fawn to get up, voice almost breaking the second time, then tries to steel himself with his own mantra: “A Prince does not…”

But he never finishes it. As if the reality of it all at that moment finally caught up to him.

It was never about being a Prince or what he does or “does not” do, nor was it about just being brave. It was about Bambi needing someone, anyone to be there for him no matter what — to reassure him that he wasn’t alone. It was about Bambi needing his father. And for all the Prince knew at the time, it was just too late.

Still; if the Prince couldn’t be the father Bambi needed him to be, if he couldn’t show him just how much he truly cared about his son before the latter’s (apparent) untimely death, he would now.

Nearly the entirety of this sequence is spent in silence, with only the pitter-patter of rain gradually fading away, a gentle chorus singing in the background (which at points sounds all too similar to the notes of the movie’s main theme…), and the Prince’s own barely audible sobbing as he tenderly nuzzles his son, crying and mourning him.

It mattered not that he was the Great Prince of the Forest, the one protecting everyone from the dangers of Man — the title meant nothing if he couldn’t protect the last family he had left.

At that moment, he was just a father grieving his son.

So when he pulls away at last and prepares to leave, only one thing stops him in his tracks.

It’s Bambi’s voice weakly calling out to him: “Dad?”

And as soon as the Prince turns around to see his son alive and looking at him, still tired and recovering from the fall, the very first thing the Prince does? It’s to reassure his son, bending down to nuzzle him again and saying these words twice in a gentle tone:

I’m here.

They remain like this for quite a while, embracing each other as the clouds part and reveal the night sky with a full moon and a shooting star, their shared theme playing one final time in a heartwarming reprise — marking this as their reunion and reconciliation.

What connects both scenes together is the bond Bambi has with his parents, down to how each sequence began and ended, on top of their contrasts and similarities.

The dream starts in shades of yellow, gold and orange, and then fades to blues and purples once Bambi wakes up. The cliff sequence is entirely in greys and blues, but soon gives way to a pale gold hue when the moon appears at the end of the scene.

Both instances involved Bambi being asleep/unconscious in one way or another — on the first he’s being comforted by his mother in the dream until he wakes up and finds himself nuzzling a rock; on the second, before and after he wakes up, he’s nuzzled by his father. Both times it ends with “I’m here”.

Although differing in context, the meaning is the same:

His mother, although truly gone now, would still be with him in his heart, in his memories, in his dreams. And his father, now fully committed to being a parent to his son, would be there for him from then on and, alongside Bambi, finally allow himself to grieve their shared loss — and heal from it together.

...

… Wow, several months working on this, but I regret nothing. Goes to show how much I love this movie, no joke. (still normal about it tho I swear!!!)

I might end up not writing a new essay (or maybe I will, who knows?) but I’ll be compelled into sharing more of my Bambi fanart in the future! But for now?

I said everything I had to say, therefore I can take my leave~

Top 3 Direct-to-Video Disney Sequels

There’s a lot of negativity around the direct-to-video Disney sequels. In fact, some of these “sequels” were actually prequels or pilot videos to TV shows, which aired on Disney Channel at the time. If the movies weren’t a fail for this reason, then the films were horribly animated, the original voice actors weren’t featured, the story was awful; or all of the above occurred. To save new fans time in reviewing all the sequel films, the best movies will be presented.

1. Cinderella III: A Twist in Time– Unlike most Disney movies, this film focuses on the villains. It’s a new direction in seeing how a fairy tale would change if the villains have a chance to win. The animation is fantastic and the characters are more flushed out compared to the original movie. Some of the characters, like Prince Charming, are also allowed to have arches too. Seeing some twisted imagery added to certain elements of the tale create a fantastic dark side to this classic story.

2. The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride– The first movie was inspired by Shakespeare’s first biggest play, Hamlet. Noting this, it’s interesting how this sequel film was inspired by Shakespeare’s second biggest play, Romeo and Juliet. Despite this, the story doesn’t make much sense. However, unlike all the direct-to-video sequels, this movie has a good soundtrack. “He Lives in You” by Lebo M. is the best song. Unfortunately, “Upendi” is corny and prevents the soundtrack from being great. The animation isn’t fantastic compared to the first movie, but it’s still great for a sequel.

3. Bambi II: This movie picks up where the first film left off after Bambi’s mother’s death. As such, this movie tells the story of the events in the time skip before Bambi’s young adult years from the first film. During this moment in the deer’s childhood, he’s raised by his father, the Great Prince of the forest. Unfortunately, Bambi’s father isn’t as strict with his son like in the first movie. The Great Prince also looses his powerful and mysterious figure persona too. It would’ve been interesting if Bambi’s father remained strict to see the story take a different route, but the direction this film did take isn’t bad either. Regardless, the animation in this movie is fantastic; especially the backgrounds. The art style is up to par with the original film. Like the first movie, the animation is used to mostly tell the story through the scenery while still making this film its own thing.

What do you think? Do you agree with the top picks? If not, what are some of your favorite Disney direct-to-video sequels? Please share with me!
