Thumper in 'Bambi'

Everett Collection

After being reprimanded by his parents in an adorably awkward moment every child has experienced, Thumper teaches us: "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all."

Why Kids Love Him: Thumper taught Bambi how to ice skate. How cool is that?

Fun Fact: 'Bambi' was based on a novel written by Felix Salten. Thumper does not appear in the original book.
