Thumper is a fictional cottontail rabbit character from Disney's animated film Bambi (1942). He is known and named for his habit of thumping his left hind foot.
The character was an important influence upon the development of the movie Bambi which started production with an adult tone which seemed too serious and uncommercial. As voiced by the young actor, four-year-old Peter Behn, the vivacious character of Thumper was expanded from its original minor role and led to a focus upon the young animals in the story.
