ThumperThumper. Hello and welcome to Orlando Florida Holidays. To continue our background history into some of the World famous Disney Characters, here is a look at our little rabbit friend. Our rabbit friend is a fictional rabbit character from Disney's animated movie Bambi. He appeared again in Bambi II. However if you go to Walt Disney World, especially the :- Disney-Magic-Kingdom. You may just see our little friend! He is known and named for his habit of thumping his left hind foot. He also appears at the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts as a meetable character. 
BambiThe character was an important influence upon the development of the movie Bambi which started production with an adult tone which seemed too serious and uncommercial.You can read about Bambi here As voiced by the young actor, four-year-old Peter Behn, the vivacious character of our rabbit friend was expanded from its original minor role and led to a focus upon the young animals in the story. He is Disney's adaptation of Friend Hare from the novel Bambi, A Life in the Woods. The personality and visual appearance of the character was based upon Beatrix Potter's Benjamin Bunny. Unlike real rabbits, he is drawn with paw pads, a feature that most rabbits lack.
"kinda wobbly"Our character, the little rabbit first appears in the film Bambi, watching as Bambi is first presented as the young prince to the creatures of the forest.He remarks that Bambi is "kinda wobbly" but is reproved by his mother who makes him repeat what his father had impressed upon him that morning, "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all". 
skunkA few days later a still-wobbly Bambi was out with his mother when they re-encountered Thumper, who took it upon himself to teach the fawn various tricks, notably that of speech.He succeeded in teaching Bambi a few words, notably "bird" and "flower" which Bambi accidentally used to name a young skunk. Thumper tried to correct Bambi but the skunk said, "That's alright. He can call me Flower if he wants to. I don't mind". The three animals go on to become friends and this encounter provides another moral lesson in the virtues of tolerance and an easy disposition.
Who Framed Roger RabbitIn the winter, our little rabbit friend tries to teach Bambi how to skate on the ice but Bambi is wobbly again.In Bambi II, he appears again hiding from his sisters and trying to help Bambi learn to be brave in the hopes of impressing his dad. Once again he is the main protagonist in a video storybook, Thumper Goes Exploring, which was released with the Platinum Edition of Bambi on March 1, 2005. The adult version of our friend can be seen amongst the crowd of toons during the final scene of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. He is also mentioned as Roger Rabbit's uncle in one scene of the film.
