What Is Bambi About?

The premise of Bambi without spoilers. The whole story is in the plot summary further down.

Born Jean-Pierre Pruvot in a small Algerian village in 1935, Bambi defied her family's expectations from a young age. Seeking to become the woman she felt she was, a performance at the Cabaret Carrousel de Paris in Algiers during the 1950s inspired her to move to the French capital. There, she adopted the stage name ‘Bambi’ and pursued a life as a performer on the music-hall stages, embracing her true identity.

Spoilers ahead

In a quiet Maine forest, a doe brings a curious male fawn into the world named Bambi, who is destined to one day wear the title of Great Prince of the Forest, the steadfast guardian of all woodland creatures. From his earliest days, Bambi grows inseparable from his mother, and he spends his hours soaking up the rhythms of the forest with a child’s wonder. He makes friends who will define his coming years: Thumper, an exuberant young rabbit who helps him learn to walk and speak; a self-assured young skunk who, flattered by a nickname he’s given himself as “Flower,” accepts the name with a grin; and a graceful female fawn named Faline.
