If you can't say something nice...

BAMBI: Mother, what we going to do today?
I'm going to take you to the meadow.
Meadow? What's the meadow?
It's a very wonderful place.
Then why haven't we been there before?
You weren't big enough.
- Mother, you know what? - What?
We're not the only deer in the forest.
- Where did you hear that? - Thumper told me.
Well, he's right.
There are many deer in the forest besides us.
Then why don't I ever see them?
- You will, sometime. - On the meadow?
Perhaps.
Hush now.
We're almost there.
- The meadow! - Wait!
Bambi, wait!
You must never rush out on the meadow.
There might be danger.
Out there, we're unprotected.
The meadow is wide and open,
and there are no trees or bushes to hide us.
So we have to be very careful.
Wait here.
I'll go out first. And if the meadow is safe, I'll call you.

MRS HARE: Good morning, young prince.
Hello. What ya eatin'?
- ALL: Clover. - It's awfully good.
It's delicious.
Why don't you try some?
No, no, not that green stuff.
Just eat the blossoms.
That's the good stuff.
MRS HARE: Thumper.
- Yes, Mama? - What did your father tell you?
About what?
About eating the blossoms and leaving the greens?
Oh, that one.
(CLEARS THROAT) Eating greens is a special treat.
It makes long ears and great big feet.
But it sure is awful stuff to eat.
I made that last part up myself.
CROAKS: Watch out.
Watch out.
(SNIFFS)
(FALINE LAUGHS)
(GIGGLES)
That's little Faline.
He's kind of bashful, isn't he, Mama?
Well, maybe he wouldn't be if you'd say hello.
Hello, Bambi.
I said hello.
Well, aren't you going to answer her?
You're not afraid, are you?
Well, then, go ahead.
Go on, say hello.
- (LOW) Hello. - (LAUGHS)
(SPLASH)
(GIGGLES)
(FALINE LAUGHS)
(LAUGHS)
(GASPS)
You!
(FALINE GIGGLES)
(BOTH LAUGH)
He stopped and looked at me.
Yes, I know.
Why was everyone still when he came on the meadow?
Everyone respects him.
For of all the deer in the forest, not one has lived half so long.
He's very brave and very wise.
That's why he's known as the Great Prince of the Forest.

What happened, Mother? Why did we all run?
Man... was in the forest.
(BIRD SINGS)
Mother, look! What's all that white stuff?
Why, it's snow.

Come on, get up. Like this.
(LAUGHS) No, no.

What do you want to do that for?
(CHUCKLES) All us flowers sleep in the winter.
Well... good night.

Winter sure is long, isn't it?
It seems long.
But it won't last forever.
I'm awful hungry, Mother.
Yes, I know.
Bambi.

Why, it... it's the young prince.
Bambi!
(CHUCKLES) My, my, how you've changed.
Turn round there. Let me look at you.
I see you've traded in your spots for a pair of antlers.

You know, just the other day I was talking to myself about you.
And we were wondering what had become of you.
Hello, Bambi!
Remember me?
Thumper!
Right-o! (LAUGHS)
Hi, fellas.
Flower.
Yeah.
(SNIFFS)
Well, what's the matter with them?
Why are they acting that way?
(OWL LAUGHS) Why, don't you know?
They're twitterpated.
- ALL: Twitterpated? - OWL: Yes.
Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the spring time.
For example... (CLEARS THROAT)
you're walking along, minding your own business,
you're looking neither to the left nor to the right,
when all of a sudden...
you run smack into a pretty face.
(HOOTS)
You begin to get weak in the knees.
Your head's in a whirl.
And then you feel light as a feather.
And before you know it,
you're walking on air.
And then you know what? You're knocked for a loop.
And you completely lose your head.
Gosh, that's awful.
- Gee whiz. - Terrible.
OWL: And that ain't all.
It can happen to anybody.
So you'd better be careful.
It could happen to you, and you, and...
Yes, it could even happen to you.
Well, it's not going to happen to me.
