Flower (Bambi)

Flower is a fictional striped skunk introduced in Disney's animated features Bambi (1942). He is an original character created for the film.

In addition to the Bambi films, Flower has made several cameos in other Disney works, including animated series and films. Flower also appears in various forms (including merchandise) at Disney Parks and other retailers.

Flower is voiced by Stan Alexander, Tim Davis, and Sterling Holloway in the original film, Nicky Jones in Bambi II, and Roland Rubio in Lego Disney Princess: The Castle Quest.

According to Disney animator and historian Andreas Deja, Flower was the first animal character that Marc Davis researched, studied, sketched, and animated before his work on Bambi and Thumper.

In terms of Flower's personality and character, he is consistently timid, coy, and soft-spoken. As he matures from kit to adult skunk, Flower becomes a bit less bashful and a tad more masculine. Miscellaneous scholarly writings covering gender fluidity and misrecognition refer to Flower's evolving tendencies or mannerisms as an example.

Thumper is teaching Bambi how to speak while exploring the forest. After learning bird and butterfly, Thumper shows Bambi a flower in a flower bed. Bambi sticks his head into the flowers and comes nose to nose with a baby skunk. Bambi, trying to impress Thumper, mistakenly calls the skunk a flower. While Thumper laughs hysterically, the bashful yet friendly skunk tells Thumper: "Oh, that's alright, he can call me a flower if he wants to. I don't mind."

The following winter, Bambi and Thumper wake up Flower to join in on the fun. Flower declines and falls back asleep into hibernation.

Bambi II covers Bambi's life after losing his mother until a young adult buck, including the relationship between him and his father, the Great Prince of the Forest, and efforts to earn his father's love and respect.
