![]() ![]() Animation Bump: "Little April Showers".The deer that Bambi fights is named Ronno in the book and midquel.The later Disney's Bunnies storybooks rename them Trixie, Daisy, Ria and Tessie, however. According to the album, Thumper's sisters are named Blossom, Violet, Nillie, and Frillie. Four of them are actually given names in the album "Peter Cottontail", which was sold at Disneyland in 1963. Thumper's sisters are unnamed in the original film and its midquel.In the film's script and occasional merchandise she is named "Bluebelle". ![]() Similar to Miss Bunny, the female skunk that flirts with Flower and becomes his wife is also unnamed in the film.She is even called that at the Disney Theme Parks when guests meet Thumper along with her. In some Disney websites, the cream-colored rabbit Thumper falls in love with is named "Miss Bunny".Age Lift: Ronno in the novel is an adult when Bambi is a fawn.Adapted Out: Faline's twin brother Gobo, Nettla (Bambi's surrogate mother after his mother dies), Karus, Marena, Friend Hare (replaced with Thumper), and several minor characters.Adaptation Title Change: The title is shortened from its source material, Bambi, a Life in the Woods.Adaptation Species Change: The original Bambi was a roe deer in Germany, but here he's a white-tailed deer to fit the North American setting of the movie.In the books, he starts off as Bambi's adult friend who becomes his rival once Bambi grows up (though Bambi scares him off without as much as a fight). Ronno appears as a one scene character who tries to force Faline to be his mate.A responsible hunter would never shoot a female with dependent offspring. Bambi's mother, shot in early spring, is clearly the victim of a poacher. The hunters in the film are explicitly reckless and thoughtless - they spray the landscape with bullets while shooting at everything that moves, and their ill-tended campfire sets half the forest ablaze.Adaptational Location Change: Because the titular character was changed from a roe deer to a white-tailed deer, the setting was also changed from somewhere in Europe (presumably Austria) to Maine. ![]()
