Which Disney animated film is about a young deer?

The Disney animated film about a young deer is Bambi.

Released in 1942, Bambi follows a fawn growing up in the forest and learning about friendship, danger, loss, and adulthood. The film was produced by Walt Disney and loosely adapted from Felix Salten’s 1923 novel Bambi, a Life in the Woods.

A common mix-up concerns Bambi’s species. Salten’s original Bambi was a roe deer, native to Europe, while Disney’s version was modeled primarily as a white-tailed deer to suit American audiences. The film’s supporting characters include Thumper, a rabbit; Flower, a skunk; and Faline, Bambi’s childhood friend and future mate.

Bambi was not an immediate box-office success during its wartime release, but later reissues helped establish it as a Disney classic. It received three Academy Award nominations and entered the U.S. National Film Registry in 2011 for its cultural, historical, and aesthetic significance.
