Bambi- The movie is set in the woods and takes place over the span of a year or two. You see Bambi start from a fawn and grow into a young buck. You also meet Bambis mom and many other nature characters. One’s name is Thumper and he is a rabbit that always is making noise with his foot. The skunks name is Flower and it’s ironic because he’s a skunk so most people think a skunk would stink. You also meet birds, opossums and the owl. Later on in the movie you meet The Great Prince of the Forest who happens to be Bambis dad. Bambi starts out as a little scared deer. He is very shy and doesn’t like to meet new people. Bambi is mostly a momma’s boy who never wants to be on his own. Eventually Bambis mom gets shot and Bambi is forced to live on his own until his father takes him up. Bambi shows the audience how he overcomes the fears and carries on with life. Bambi meets a girl at a young a when he is a fawn (Farline) and reunites with her when he grows up. He falls in love with her and then finds out she has a boyfriend. Bambi and the other buck (Rambo) fight in the movie over Farline and the scene is around 3 minutes. Bambi eventually kills Rambo and Farline falls for Bambi. Later in the movie Bambi and his father must face hunters and their dogs. The hunters start the woods on fire in pursuit of the two bucks. Bambi gets hit with a bullet and is wounded has a hard time running but they escape the hunters. Farline helps Bambi to recover and take care of him. I agree with the critics when they say Bambi helps teach young kids to know they will need to live on their own. I believe Bambi is a great character driven movie and you get to see a great evolution of a character.
