Thumper and Miss Bunny coming to Animal Kingdom

[drew81]

There have been rumors of Thumper coming back to Animal Kingdom for some time. I can confirm that Thumper will be coming back for meet n greets with a new look. Miss Bunny will also be joining him for meet n greets. It looks like this will be happening later this year.

Who is Miss Bunny?

Who is Miss Bunny?

Thumper's love interest.

That is pretty cool! I remember last meeting Thumper out for the Bambi DVD release back in March 2007.
And it'll be especially interesting to meet Miss Bunny, even though I never knew she had a name! :lol:

Thumper's love interest.

Oh but this is good news my GF loves Thumper!

 

[GothMickey]

I thought I saw Thumper out a few times before, by the entrance plaza. A new look? Sounds promising.

Wow! Thumper was my favorite character on Bambi. I have a Thumper stuffed animal that I got in Disney back in 85'.

Lol, anyone got a shotgun? :lol:

I rather not...my mom doesn't really like that film because of you know what, and Mythological animals are the first thing they should expand AK with imo.

Thanks as always Drew!

Very nice! Now they just gotta get Bambi in the park as a more permanant figure...

 

[MKCP 1985]

Should be very popular when Easter comes around.

Do you think more than 2 out of 10 people will even know who they are?

Their appearances should spark some interesting comments from passing by park guests. :lol:

I haven't seen the movie in probably 15 years. Does she not like it because there's death in it?

Yeah, she didn't like the death of Bambi's mother.

 

[NewfieFan]

Yeah, she didn't like the death of Bambi's mother.

But there's death in a lot of Disney movies... heck, there's even death in the new Up!

I would like to see a Bambi dark ride... or something Bambi related!

It was Martin Short, and it was a fastpass for Soarin'
