In addition to the animals he had killed, he also went home with a live animal, Gobo, a sickly fawn found helpless in the snow. During this trip, the lives of several pheasants, a hare, and Bambi's mother was claimed by Man. During one winter, he, along with many other fellow men, went on a major hunting trip in the forest. His presence in the forest was a dreaded terror for its inhabitants, and, despite their frantic attempts at escape, He usually claimed the lives of at least a few unfortunate creatures before departing.Īt any rate, Man would continue to hunt even throughout the childhood of Bambi, a deer known among his fellow animals as the "Young Prince of the Forest". Though little was known of His exact nature, all but the most naïve of animals knew to flee at His approach. Man was a constant source of fear for even the strongest of the forest's creatures. At least by the time of Bambi, Man lived in the same forest as the creatures he hunted. ![]() It is known that Man has hunted in the forest at least since the time of Bambi's great-grandmother, though it is unknown both if this is when He first began to hunt in the forest or not and if the Man of Bambi's great-grandmother's days is the same who would hunt the forest in later years. It is unclear if he is just one individual or, perhaps, several. However, Bambi: A Life in the Woods strongly implies that "He" is just a term that the animals of the forest use to refer to humans in general, making it unclear which He did what.ĭue to the mystery surrounding his identity, it is hard to give an accurate description of Man, apart from him being human. The terms "He", the name used to refer to him in Bambi: A Life in the Woods, and "Man", the name used to refer to him in the Disney films, are both singular terms. Arguably more of a concept than an actual individual, it is unclear exactly who He is. Man, also known as He, is the overarching antagonist of the 1922 book, Bambi: A Life in the Woods, the 1942 Disney film Bambi, and the 2006 Disney film, Bambi II. Man as he appears in Barbara Cooney's 1970 illustration of Bambi: A Life in the Woods It was unbearably painful to look at that face and yet Bambi stood staring fixedly at it.” ―Description of Man from Whittaker Chambers' translation of Bambi: A Life in the Woods That face had a tremendous power over him. A kind of dread emanated from that face, a cold terror. It was extremely thin and had a pale face entirely bare around the nose and eyes.
