Bambi is the titular protagonist of Disney's 1942 animated feature film of the same name. A deer living in a forest, he is best friends with Thumper (a rabbit) and Flower (a skunk). However, he was closest to his mother, who was shot during his first winter. Raised into a buck by his father, he strongly falls in love with his childhood sweetheart and love interest, Faline. They end up having twin fawns later on; a son and daughter named Geno and Gurri.

Bambi originated as the main character in Felix Salten's Bambi, a Life in the Woods. He has made cameos in several Disney cartoons. In the Disney films, his species was changed from the roe deer to the mule deer, which would be more familiar to American audiences. His image is a Disney icon comparable in recognition factors to The Great Mickey Mouse, and he is even shown on Disney stock certificates.

As a fawn, Bambi had a fur coat of safety orange and wheat spots and underbelly with a brown stripe that ran from his head down to his tail. He had black slippers and wide red eyes with tiny eyelashes. He had a large head with fuzz on it, and large ears with black tips. Bambi remains the same except he ended up as Little Joe that has a tron blue, greenish blue and deep sky blue vest. In The Ballad Of Little Joe, he is much more personalized than any other.

When he is a teenager, Bambi remains the same except he no longer has spots, his fur is a little darker & he has budding antlers.

As an adult; Bambi has darker brown fur, a slightly muscular frame, and black antlers with two points each. The wheat stripe on his neck and underbelly now stops under his head and continues above his chest.

Bambi's rival ever since he was a fawn was another deer a little older than him named Ronno who he fought with & defeated for the love and affections of Faline.

Ironically, in the Fandom Bambi is frequently depicted in homoerotic pairing with Ronno. More than Faline in fact. He is also sometimes depicted with his father as well.
