Bambi's Childhood (1985)
In the forest a holiday — the deer Bambi was born, the son of the leader, the prince, the heir to the crown. Bambi is still small, and the whole huge world around him appears like a fairy tale. In this tale, he meets many miracles: animals and trees, the sun and the river, his second cousins and sister, squirrel, funny hares and beautiful swans. But in the fairy forest, where everyone lives together, there is He... The one whose name is not called. Whom everyone is afraid of, even the most powerful animals. Bambi will face a series of dangers, adventures and new knowledge, before he grows up and rightfully takes the place of an unnamed father - he will become the leader of his pack.
