In 'Bambi', what is the name of Bambi's rabbit friend?

In “Bambi,” Bambi’s rabbit friend is named Thumper.

Thumper is a lively male rabbit who befriends the young deer in Disney’s 1942 animated film. He helps Bambi learn to walk and speak, and his energetic personality provides a playful contrast to Bambi’s cautious, inquisitive nature. Thumper is especially associated with the habit of thumping his hind foot.

The film is loosely based on Felix Salten’s 1923 novel “Bambi, a Life in the Woods.” Disney significantly developed Thumper from the book’s less prominent hare character, making him one of the movie’s most memorable supporting characters. His famous advice about saying something nice became one of the film’s lasting moral lessons.

A frequent mix-up is choosing Flower, who is Bambi’s skunk friend, or Friend Owl, an older woodland character. Thumper is specifically the rabbit; Flower is not a rabbit, despite his delicate-sounding name.
