We lost Bambi and His Father’s Voice Just One Week Apart 🕊️
One of the most emotional relationships in Disney’s Bambi is between the young fawn and his father, the Great Prince of the Forest.
Now, in a bittersweet coincidence, two actors forever connected to those characters have passed away only seven days apart.
Donnie Dunagan, the voice of young Bambi in Disney’s original 1942 classic, died on November 4 at age 92. Just one week earlier, on October 28, Sir Patrick Stewart, who voiced Bambi’s father, the Great Prince, in Bambi II, passed away at 86.
They never actually voiced father and son together. Dunagan belonged to the original Bambi, while Stewart joined the story more than six decades later for Bambi II. But across two generations of Disney storytelling, their voices became connected to the same heartbreaking father-and-son story.
In Bambi II, the Great Prince takes responsibility for his son after the loss of Bambi’s mother, and the initially distant pair slowly discover the bond between them.
For Disney fans, there is something especially moving about losing these two voices only a week apart.
Bambi and his father, remembered together. Rest in peace, Donnie Dunagan and Sir Patrick Stewart. 🕊️
Every day we remember our Veterans. We appreciate them answering the call to serve their country and their efforts and sacrifices, to keep us safe.
