** It's "Man" as in "man''kind''", not just one specific human out to get them for whatever reason. And since the animals only ever really come into contact with hunters and poachers who wish to kill them, it's hardly surprising that they hold a rather dim view of mankind as a species. The book goes into quite a bit of detail as to exactly how monstrous the mere concept of Man is to most of the animals of the forest thanks to the hunters and poachers, and the only two deer (Gobo and Marena) who come to view Man as their friends and ''not'' as monsters bent on destroying the animals come to seriously regret it.

[[folder: Pointless Sequel?]]
* What's the point of ''Bambi 2''? The whole thing's like a giant {{retcon}} to explain that the Great Prince actually did love Bambi deep down, but that seemed fairly clear from the original. Were people actually upset that the Great Prince seemed aloof and distant?
** Money. The point was money.
*** Ultimately, probably so. Plus, the choice was likely between making a ''Bambi's Children'' adaptation or a similar SpinOffspring movie, or making a midquel during Bambi's fawn years. Since the child designs of the cast have proved far more marketable, they likely decided to go with the latter.
** I think the point of it was to explore Bambi's relationship with his father, which the original film didn't go into detail on. It was basically covering the gap that occurred in the original after the death of his mother.
** Plus you know, something to smooth out [[MoodWhiplash the transition between a bleak wintery death and birds singing gay little Spring songs]].

*** I'm not expert in fish and game laws but, IIRC, hunting seasons depend on the state's laws and how big the herd is, though, some states (like Texas, Kentucky, and Florida) can have their hunting seasons start in September and end around February if said herd is big enough. Since we don't know where at the movie's set and how big Bambi's herd is, we can't tell if Man is a poacher or not, though, he might be, if we're assuming he's in state where there are laws about hunting in the winter or going after anterless deer (fawns, does, and immature bucks, I'm guessin') Now, if we remember ''Bambi II'', where he tried to trap Bambi, he probably shot Bambi's mom for the hell of it because he can.

***If you think about it, it could be a form of FridgeBrilliance, as Bambi ''really'' had to grow up after his mother died.
