It is a Coming of Age Story about a roe deer named "Bambi" as he grows up in a forest in Austria.In 1939 Bambi received a sequel in Bambi's Children: The Forest of a Family (Bambis Kinder: Eine Familie im Walde) revolving around Bambi and Faline's offspring, Geno and Gurri.In 1942 the first book received an Animated Adaptation in Disney's Bambi. Though Disney never animated Bambi's Childrennote Walt considered it, though plans never made it past conceptual stages, a Comic-Book Adaptation was made.In 1985, a Soviet live-action adaptation of the story titled Bambi's Childood (Дет�тво Бемби) was released in Russia directed by Natalya Bondarchuk.The book entered the Public Domain in 2016 in the European Union and 2022 in the United States.Bambi has also been confirmed to be appearing in Rhys Frake-Waterfield's Twisted Childhood Universe, starring in his own horror movie, and is slated to appear in the crossover film Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble. We're not joking. | |

Raised in Captivity | |
| Bambi / int_3c7f6abd | comment |
Raised In Captivity: Gobo was taken in by humans as a fawn and raised to adulthood. After being released into the wild, it's clear that the experience has robbed him of all self-preservation instincts. He also thinks that humans are his friends now, which leads to his death when he approaches a hunter. | |

Humans Are Cthulhu | |
| Bambi / int_98c2a8f2 | comment |
Humans Are Cthulhu: The animals believe that humans are some kind of god. Near the end, the Prince shows Bambi the corpse of a man. Bambi then realizes that humans are mortal creatures too, concluding there must be Another who is even higher up. Faline's brother Gobo disappears for a year before returning with a halter around his neck. He says he was cared for by a human, and that Man is now his friend. The other animals are confused by this. Later he sees a human in a meadow and runs out to greet him, but unfortunately it turns out to be a hunter, who kills him. Downplayed in Bambi's Children; while the animals are still afraid of humans and understand their ways dimly at best, humans are portrayed in a more nuanced light with good and evil individuals. | |

Stranger in a Familiar Land: Gobo. When Bambi and Faline reunite with him, he no longer has his wariness and caution, much to Bambi's consternation. It doesn't help that his girlfriend Marena believes in peace with humans in a borderline-Suicidal Pacifist way — she ends up sadder but wiser when his foolishness does him in. | |

Parental Neglect: Subverted. Partway through the book, Bambi's, Faline's, and Gobo's mothers start leaving their children alone for hours on end and get irritated when they try to follow. To a human's point-of-view, it looks like the mothers act this way. However, this is perfectly normal deer behavior. The mothers are just teaching their children to be independent. | |

Sequel | |
| Bambi / int_b3dbc942 | comment |
Sequel: Bambi's Children, which offers perspective flips between the animals and human characters, and is Lighter and Softer than the original book. Humankind is also portrayed in a much more nuanced light, with one of them being a generally benevolent gamekeeper note whom the animals call "the brown He" who is concerned for the welfare of the animals (even taking in Bambi's daughter and nursing her back to health after she is attacked and injured by a fox) and even fights off a poacher and a cruel kid who stole his father's rifle to illegally hunt fawns. Perri the Squirrel, who appeared in his own book that was a midquel to Bambi, is also a minor character in Bambi's Children. | |

No Fathers Allowed | |
| Bambi / int_b7fcc717 | comment |
No Fathers Allowed: The males do not take part in caring for their children and are not expected to do so. During the breeding season, Bambi becomes head-over-heels for his cousin, Faline and rarely wants to leave her side. After she becomes pregnant, Bambi finds his interest in Faline quickly waning until he can't stand to be around her anymore. This reflects real bucks' behavior, who mate and leave without helping to raise fawns. | |

Spin-Off: Perri The Youth Of A Squirrel is a story about a red squirrel set during the events of Bambi, and Bambi himself makes a cameo appearance. Perri subsequently appears as a named supporting character in Bambi's Children. Disney made a Live-Action Adaptation of Perri for their True Life Adventures series in the 1950's. | |

Xenofiction | |
| Bambi / int_dd8deee1 | comment |
Xenofiction: The xenofiction aspect is far more pronounced in the original books than in the Disney film. The does act snappish towards their fawns after weaning them and begin leaving them alone for long periods of time, in contrast to the film where Bambi is always near his mother. Bambi becomes infatuated with Faline during mating season, but loses interest in her afterwards. One chapter involves sentient autumn leaves. This got a nod in the Disney animated version, where the two falling leaves come down to rest on the ground together. | |
