Description

Detail The Great Prince of the Forest

Brief Information:

The Great Prince of the Forest is a White-tailed deer and Bambi's father.

He is the leader of all the animals in the forest, a wise and big stag that everyone respects. He helps Bambi to escape from the forest fire that hunters started by accident. At the end of the movie, he's seen to step back while Bambi takes his place as new Prince of the Forest.

In Bambi II he appears to bring Bambi to the den right after Bambi's mother was shot. He doesn't want to take care of the Young Prince but in the end he will change his mind. He is rather cold, stoic and strict but Bambi's cheerful personality will make him love his son.

Relations: Bambi (son), Bambi's Mother (wife), Faline (daughter-in-law), Geno (grandson), Gurri (granddaughter)

Friends: Friend Owl

Foes: Man, Man's hunting dogs

 

Trivia

No matter how skilled the animator, the Disney cartoonists simply could not draw Bambi's father's antlers accurately. This was because of the very complicated perspectives required. To get round the problem, a plaster cast was made of some real antlers which was then filmed at all angles. This footage was then rotoscoped onto animation cels.

To schmidty: there probably is but big bucks in real life are vary smart. (except for in the rut). One time when me and my dad were hunting a gorp of deer came out and it was 2 little bucks, 3 desesent does and a big buck. They all came out in the fled in front of us really close except for the big one. Even thow we could see him clearly he keep a small tree in between are stand and him.
And this is my favorite character.

Heh, yah, in all actuality that's probably correct, but in-universe there should be SOME explaination!

My theory is the Disney animators didn't think kids would understand that deer lose their antlers after the rut, so they thought it a better idea to lie to kids rather then explain stuff to them XD lol

My theory is that the Prince is no longer able to sure fawns because somehow, he was castrated/neutered.

V-- Indeed - even though I don't hunt, I agree. (I respect true hunters, as in the ones who respect wildlife, even if they shoot it - killing and hunting aren't the same thing!)

Woahwoahwoah waaaiiiiitttt....
bucks = males. Males = testosterone. Testosterone = rut, which requires hardened antlers, so testosterone also = bucks coming out of velvet. Out of velvet = loss of antlers in the winter.

...The Great Prince has antlers over the winter...
...So does he lack testosterone, an important hormone in the rut...?
