in the original book on which "bambi" was based, ronno was already a stag when bambi was born, instead of being mere weeks-to-months older than he was as in the movie. an additional twist is that in the book, ronno was quite respectable (though a bit of a whiner as he is portrayed in the movie), and there was nothing at all personal about his rivalry with bambi over faline. ronno's character is never named in the original movie. however, documentation from disney clearly indicates that the ronno in bambi ii is the same deer which bambi fought in the original, right down to the same moves each deer makes during their fight in the sequel. the age of the great prince changes as compared to the original movie. in the original, the great prince is said to be twice as old as the oldest deer. in this movie, the great prince is said to have been the same age as bambi's mother.
