* After being told to leave with surrogate mother Mena, a heartbroken Bambi argues with his father for seemingly rejecting him and just when their relationship was getting stronger, telling him [[YouShouldHaveDiedInstead he wishes his mother was here instead of him]]. As he prepares to leave with Mena later, however, he turns back and nuzzles his father one last time. The Great Prince remains still, but his despondent expression says it all. And then when Bambi and Mena are finally out of sight, the Prince slowly steps back and walks away, and he's utterly ''miserable''...

** The moment preceding it: the Great Prince urges Bambi to get up, yet when there's no response he says [[MadLibsCatchphrase "A prince does not..."]] [[SubvertedCatchphrase but can't bring himself to finish saying it]] out of anguish. He then starts mourning his son, genuinely believing that he died. Adding to the tragedy, is that those exact words were what led Bambi to accuse the Prince of not caring about him, and thus leading the Great Prince to go through with sending him away. Not only does the Prince believe Bambi's dead, it was the moment it finally hit him just how much Bambi needed him as a father far more than being a prince — and, for all he knew at the time, it was too late to fix this.

** It soon turns into a happy tearjerker when Bambi wakes up: as the Great Prince's just about to leave, convinced that he's lost his family, he hears Bambi call him "Dad" for the first time and turns around to see him still alive. The Prince then starts nuzzling his son again and reassures him. The rest of the characters soon rejoice in seeing their reunion, with Thumper crying in Flower's arms and Mena sharing a glance with Friend Owl before she leaves.

Added DiffLines:

** In hindsight, Bambi did have a point in being mad at his father: not only did he lose his mother and had to come to terms with the fact that she was gone for good, he latched onto the Great Prince since he was all he had left for a family even if he didn't know him that well. He spent most of the movie trying to impress his father and prove his bravery, taking every lesson to heart whenever they were together, only to find out his original plan of sending him away. More than upset, Bambi felt betrayed.

* In fact, much of the aftermath of the dogs' attack counts; after Bambi and his father escape from danger, the latter scolds Bambi for having fallen for Man's trick and freezing when told to run away - while it was harsh coming from him, it's hard to blame the Prince for this reaction when he's just recently lost his mate, and nearly lost his son right after. One phrase in particular is made worse in hindsight later in the movie after Bambi falls off a cliff:
---'''Great Prince:''' What if I hadn't gotten to you in time?! You could have been...

** When Bambi declines Faline's offer to accompany him to his den, he visibly stutters when saying "M-my father will come for me", as if he's correcting himself. One must wonder if he was going to say "Mother"...
