An animated film about an uncle and his nephew getting into hijinks while the uncle constantly has to fumble with the morals his mother guilted him with, I mean instilled in him, as a child? Perhaps with a hilarious slapstick scene at the prostate doctor’s office? Comedy gold. I’d watch a Thumper/Roger Rabbit spinoff movie in a heartbeat, honestly. Oh and that Thumper has to take medication for his prostate, which is more than we needed to know. But apparently Thumper makes a brief appearance somewhere in the final scene, and Roger says he’s his uncle at some point in the movie. I have no idea how I didn’t catch that before – maybe because I haven’t seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit? in about 20 years, even though I own the DVD. I recently read that in Disney canon, Thumper is Roger Rabbit’s uncle. What is Thumper’s relationship with his nephew Roger like? Skunk,” he just rolls with it.ĭisney sort of made up for this 50 years later with The Lion King by making Nala a pretty big badass in her own right, but Faline’s fate still stings a little – especially since Bambi apparently learned from his dad that it’s OK not to be present at the birth of your children. He’s also the sweetest and friendliest, evidenced by the fact that when we first meet him, a just-learning-to-talk Bambi calls him “Flower.” And instead of being like, “Nah, man, I’m Mr. OK so Flower is the most adorable skunk I know of (sorry, Pepé Le Pew). GREAT PRINCE OF THE FOREST WOULD STILL BE ALIVE. Sure, it’s understood that he helped raise Bambi from this point, but maybe if he’d been there in the first place, MRS. Oh but wait, the Great Prince is there to actually help this time! But womp, it’s only to tell Bambi his mom can’t be there anymore in the least soothing way possible. We get the full experience, meaning a lot of 1940s parents were probably cursing Disney when their kids wouldn’t leave their beds at night. The same for Flower and Thumper.after Bambis mother dies and he is forced to be raised by his father, The Great Prince. Sure, the no-parents thing persisted throughout the years, but at least once the Disney Renaissance rolled around, one or both out-of-the-picture parents died before the events of the movie. This was harsh times for kids watching Disney movies. Will they find a baby duckling by the pond, or a baby skunk hiding in the flowering fields Each spread of this interactive board book features a die-cut flap. There is some flirting between when grownup Bambi, Thumper, and Flower is. I mean, we might as well just get this out of the way. The seen where bambis mother dies has blood and for a u thats a bit much.
