FalineFaline. Welcome to Orlando Florida Holidys. To continue on with our theme of Walt Disney Characters, I have written about our little friend, and some of her history:- She is a doe in Felix Salten's novel Bambi, A Life in the Woods and its sequel, Bambi's Children as well as in the Walt Disney movies Bambi and Bambi II. Her mother is Ena. First shown as a fawn and later as an adult doe, her role is as Bambi's friend and later mate. She was featured as one of the guests in Disney's House of Mouse. There are lots of Walt Disney Characters to be found in the Disney-Magic-Kingdom. Orlando, keep your autograph book to hand! 
fawn GoboShe is, sister to twin fawn Gobo, showed considerably less personality than in the animated movies despite an extended role.There was little to indicate romantic ideas in her behavior as a fawn, and when she and Bambi were grown up it was Bambi, not her, who was the pursuer and dominant figure in their romance. Also, in the book, they separated shortly after mating much as real deer do. She was last seen toward the end of the book, old and grey. She and Gobo were also Bambi's cousins in the book, as it states that Aunt Eena (Ena as she is known in the book) is Bambi's mother's sister. Walt Disney did not include this in the original movie because it would have been incest when Faline gave birth to Bambi's twins. Read about the great Innovator Walt-Disney here
Geno and GurriFaline plays a much larger role in this sequel to Bambi, A Life in the Woods, being the mother to Bambi's twin fawns, Geno and Gurri.At this point in the storyline, Bambi has assumed his role as leader of the herd, and his family is known as the "First Family". Bambi's Children is more stiffly written, and the characters come across that way as well, dialogue and actions being more formal than in the earlier book. Faline worries about her fawns, but is willing to give them the independence needed to learn how to survive as adults. She is still frightened of elk, can be harsh in her emotions and stubborn, but is big-hearted as well as she adopts two orphaned buck fawns. There are more interesting Disney-Characters here 
BambiIn Walt Disney's animated film Bambi, Faline is about Bambi's age, give or take a week or two, but in both Bambi and Bambi II her personality is considerably more mature than his (granted, her first appearance is the exception that makes the rule).It is she who always makes the first move, whether in mere play (as a fawn) or in romantic pursuits (as an adult). The way this is so, however, shifts as she grows older. When they first meet, she comes across as a wild, giggly little girl, an image which puts Bambi on the run until he finally manages to get a lock on her location after she steals one kiss too many from him. That angers and disgusts Bambi and after that, she's the one running. Faline is next seen she is a fully grown and very attractive doe and has progressed to the point where she makes her moves with what comes across as a thoroughly deliberated strategy, with the possible implaction that she had been watching Bambi for some time, waiting for the perfect moment to make her approach. To help with your Walt Disney World holiday plan, here is a list of the Theme parks:- The lighter coloringThe lighter coloring she showed as a fawn is back and (predictably) she still has Bambi on the run.Luck and love are with her though, and this time she finally manages to catch him. Although she appears dependent on him, with Bambi rescuing her from both an unwanted suitor and hunting dogs, she does have a degree of resourcefulness, as shown by her rock climbing to escape the dogs and the fact that she made her way to a safe place after the fire. Here we see her awaiting Bambi anxiously. The only time we see her looking truly calm is when she is seen at the end of Bambi with her and Bambi's twin fawns. It has been postulated that this was because, as she was now a mother, Walt and the animators decided it was only suitable that she be shown in the traditional image (for that time period) of one. It is better to buy Disney Tickets before you go on Holiday, it saves you time when you're in Orlando, and it is also cheaper, Lynn and I have found this company, to be cheaper than most:- 
She still gigglesFaline's overall image is somewhat different in Bambi II.For one thing, she has slightly darker coloring (she went back to lighter coloring when she grew up). She still has a huge crush on Bambi and even surprises him, making him touch his nose on hers. The darker coloration would seem to go with the idea of her edge in maturity over Bambi, although this is contrasted by the fact that she is the only fawn who doesn't lose her spots in the course of the movie. She seems to have settled down a bit. She still giggles, but not so wildly as before. Furthermore, she is at a rather independent stage. In an attempt to placate Ronno after she and Bambi first meet him, and possibly to spend more time with Bambi, she suggests to Ronno 'yeah, maybe you should get going' after Ronno's mother begins to call him away. There are excellent deals on Package holidays here, from some of the best known tour operators:- If you prefer to search for your own Hotel and Flight to Orlando Florida, the Orlando blog has facilities to help you! RonnoLater in the movie, she makes a face at Bambi's attempt at a growl (Bambi was trying to ward off Ronno).Bambi's attempt at a growl, according to most viewers, sounds like a bleating lamb, which is probably why it was not very successful for intimidation. That is not enough, however, to alter her preferences; she still clearly prefers Bambi's company to Ronno's. Unfortunately, Ronno pays little mind to what Faline thinks, and when he tries to force her to go with him Faline tries to stand up for herself, unlike a similar event in the first movie, when she immediately called to Bambi for help. It is hard to say who is most surprised in this movie when Bambi tells Ronno to leave Faline alone: Faline, Ronno, or Bambi himself? Orlando Florida Holidays.com home page |
