"The Flying Rabbit" is the eleventh episode of the American animated television series Bambi. It first aired on October 23, 1999 on ABC as part of Disney's One Saturday Morning.

Summary
Thumper, after seeing some birds and thinking how cool it would be to fly, decides to get help from Mrs. Quail and Friend Owl and become a flier himself, only to find that it's not easy being a flying rabbit, when hijinks start happening.

Plot
Thumper and Bambi are watching the birds, reminiscing on Bambi's younger days, and thinking how cool it would be to fly, decides to tell Bambi that he's gonna become a flying rabbit. However, Bambi simply just laughs him off, saying that he shouldn't fly, because rabbits like him don't have wings, and they only specialize in hopping and thumping, but this wasn't enough to stop Thumper from learning how to fly and goes off to ask for help, anyways. He eventually meets up with Friend Owl and Mrs. Quail, whom she recognizes from that one time where she couldn't fly often due to her wing injury and risked her life to save his when he got injured himself, and asks them to help him become a flying rabbit. At first, they, too also laugh him off, thinking that he'll have to change his name, and he wouldn't love it if he did, but Thumper promises he wouldn't change his name, leaving both of them to be kind of interested. Eventually, they both agree to help him become a flying rabbit and fulfil his dreams.
