But come autumn, Bambi ventures out into the open, where hunters tragically separate him from his mother. Now alone, the young fawn must learn to survive in this sometimes hostile world.

A large, majestic deer, who is none other than his father, also finds Bambi and helps him grow up, enabling him to take his destiny into his own hands.
