This Video Of Real-Life 'Bambi And Thumper' Is Trending. Smiles, Guaranteed

For those of us who watched Disney films as children, there was a time when we all aspired to befriend animals, wear magical gowns till midnight, lay down our hair from the top of the tower and confront fictional monsters. Wishing on stars, discovering true love and leading a happily ever after are core themes of the Disney brand. While watching these stories, we secretly desired that they would happen to us or that we may experience something similar once in a lifetime. However, it appears that these animations may be closer than we realise, as an adorable rabbit and an infant deer have been labelled as the real-life Thumper and Bambi.

A sweet video on X shows the deer and the rabbit’s interaction. People on social media immediately began drawing comparisons to the well-known Disney characters. Many expressed happiness and nostalgia at seeing Bambi and Thumper’s real-life connection.

In a lawn, the fawn carefully moves towards the rabbit, giving it a thorough sniff before attempting to touch it. The rabbit takes a few little hops of his own in the meantime. While the young deer appears to be having a great time, the rabbit appears wary and maybe scared by the gangly animal physically drooling all over him. Thankfully, the rabbit is not afraid enough to flee, allowing our childhood imaginations about Bambi to remain alive.

The video has accumulated more than 6 million views on the social media platform. The comments section was utterly delighted by the setting.

A user wrote, “Real-life Disney movie.”

Another user said, “I love Bambi and Thumper.”

Meanwhile, another user wrote, “Ayyye lil Thumper is teaching Bambi to walk.”

Friendships between animals are nothing new. Earlier, a video went viral demonstrating the relationship that two canines may form. One courageous dog joyfully jumps into a river at the start of the video while holding a twig in his mouth. But the canine’s thrilling adventure ended tragically when it lost control and the powerful current pulled it away.

Another dog standing close rushes to aid just when things seem to be getting out of control. With lightning speed, the second dog grabs hold of the long branch to prevent its buddy from being pulled downstream.
