He is known and named for his habit of thumping his left hind foot. Thumper is Disney's adaptation of Friend Hare from Felix Salten's 1923 novel Bambi, a Life in the Woods. The personality and visual appearance of the character was based upon Beatrix Potter's Benjamin Bunny.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe character Thumper first appears in the film Bambi, watching as Bambi is first presented as the young prince to the creatures of the forest. He remarks that Bambi is \"kinda wobbly\" but is reproved by his mother, who makes him repeat what his father had impressed upon him that morning, \"If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all\". This moral is now known by the \"Thumperian principle\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few days later a still-wobbly Bambi was out with his mother when they re-encountered Thumper, who took it upon himself to teach the fawn various tricks, notably that of speech. He succeeded in teaching Bambi a few words, notably \"bird\" and \"flower\" which Bambi accidentally used to name a young skunk. Thumper tried to correct Bambi but the skunk said, \"That's alright. He can call me Flower if he wants to. I don't mind\". The three animals go on to become friends and this encounter provides another moral lesson in the virtues of tolerance and an easy disposition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese posters are sent as unframed.
