The Spring Sprite is a legendary green female spirit, and magically beautiful young girl who can make everything grow in the forest. She appeared in Fantasia 2000 segment, "The Firebird suite" or L'oiseau de feu sequence, inspired by the 1980 eruption of Mount Saint Helens as the main protagonist, and the fanfiction story Bambi and the Spring Sprite as the one of the two main protagonists (Alongside Bambi).

Background[]

Personality[]

Cquote1
You have brought me to eternal life... from my peaceful rest.. my savior. I am ever so much thankful of you.
—A grateful Spring Sprite, in her water form, to the Elk.
Cquote2

The Spring Sprite is a benevolent force of life and creation. She loves the forest and its creatures, and is happy to bring spring every year. When she was awakened by her friend, the Elk, she felt very grateful of him as he gave him a embracing hug. As a force of creation, she has a creative and artistic side, seen when she forms a flower, has a second thought, and then turns it into a dazzling sight, and revitalizes a barren tree with gorgeous blossoms.

The Sprite displayed a distinct sense of curiosity, as she was puzzled as to why she could not make flora grow on a mountainside, and studied, only to unintentionally unleash her polar opposite, the Firebird, a living primal force of destruction, and horrified by the destruction that followed.

Once the disaster ceased, she was crippled with grief at the loss of so much life, and guilt-ridden for causing it by awakening the Firebird. The Elk, however was able to cheer her up and give her hope when she saw her tears began to heal the land, and rejoiced when she was able to restore the forest.

All in all, the Spring Sprite is truly a loving being of creation and life, and found strength and hope in realizing that no matter how much is lost to Destruction, Creation is limitless, as is the constant renewal of Life.

Physical appearance[]

Cquote1
[giggle] Yes... I am beautiful. Because as a magical spirit, I look and feel that way.
—Spring Sprite, in her water form, to the Elk.
Cquote2

Formerly as a regular human being, the Spring Sprite, is a British-American young woman with white skin, brown flowing down her back, all the way to the ground, with a red flower on the left edge of her head. Like Tarzan, she wears a loincloth in the color green, with a green-colored broth on her breasts. And unlike her nature spirit self, she later wore a magical, and beautiful ball gown in green color.

As a nature spirit, the Sprite is an attractive young woman-like creature. In her most common form, she has light green skin and long bushy hair, that flows down her back to the ground, of the same color. Her eyes have the color that stands between yellow and light orange, and above them are thick black eyebrows. She is slender. Sometimes, between her hips and arms is a kind of curtain made of leather, that she uses to make flight easier, but she can remove it if she want. Her size varies, but she usually the size of a young girl. Considering she is a nature spirit, she has no clothing and walks around naked.

Depending on her surroundings, she can take on various forms and colors; in water form, she is blue, in ice form, she is brighter blue, in rain form, she is light blue, in nature form, which is her most commonly used form, she is green, in the end of the sequence, she is yellowish green; even brighter, and in ash form, she is dark gray. When in ash form, if smoke is around, she is light brown, and when fire is around, she is blood red, after the forest was burnt and destroyed, she is cool gray.

Powers and Abilities[]

Fantasia-disneyscreencaps

The sprite's tears healing the forest by magic

The Spring Sprite has all sorts of abilities all mammals and human beings can do. For examples, when in the water, she can swim just like fish and mermaids. When in the air, she can fly afloat just like birds. Like human beings, she can walk or run. Like squirrels, she can climb up walls and trees. Like hedgehogs, she can roll into a tight ball. However, she has different abilities of magic. While spreading her curtain connected to her arms and hips, she can make layers of flora and grass grow. She can grow plants like flowers, trees, and lots of others. Depending on her surroundings she changes colors. Her tears can heal the the forest that was burned to ashes. Having to restore the forest, she makes huge showers of rain from her curtain. And she can communicate with insects. Huge and long twigs of leaves can mostly grow on her hair.

Weaknesses[]

  • Fire: Like other humans, the sprite fears fire, magma and lava, and would flee from the Firebird.

History[]

Early Life[]

Cquote1
Elk: You don't seem like you're from this forest.
Spring Sprite: That might be where I'm from and where I live.
Elk: Is that so?
Spring Sprite: Mmhmm. My earliest memory from ten thousand centuries is arriving.
—Spring Sprite (in her water form) about to tell her backstory to the Elk.
Cquote2

Before the ballet of Igor Stravinsky, the Firebird Suite segment of Fantasia 2000 (Alternate timeline; Bambi and the Spring Sprite) began, her backstory took place ten thousand centuries ago, in the same forest, before Mount St. Helens rose. She was born at the start of spring, the fourth human girl, out of four children (1st girl born in summer, 2nd born in fall, and 3rd born in winter), when her mother died in childbirth, and after her father died in the hands of a grizzly bear, before the bear was shot to death at the man's hands himself, having to be caught on bear traps. The girls however, was so lucky, lots of the forest's animals and insects found them. They, along with Mother Earth, and her husband, Aquarius decided to raise the girls in the forest like one of their own. The girl's nursery, the Sky took her and her sisters to seperate empty thickets where no deer lived in, and put a sleeping spell on each of them, that would keep her aging every year. The girl slept and grew up for twenty-five years, until the spell was broken, one by one in each season, just at the very start of springtime. Her three sisters, all became nature spirits who would their own seasons to life after the centuries would pass (1st girl for summer, 2nd for fall, and 3rd for winter). She may have been naked the whole time, but Mother Gaia created her a green loincloth and green broth, perfect for the girl to wear on the first half of the springtime (similar to what Tarzan, and his wife, Jane Porter both wore in the finale of Disney's Tarzan), then a big yellow-ish green ball gown on the second half. Through the season, the girl treated every insect and animal with care, even frindly misquiotes, and spiders, including a humanzied spider, Charlotte (from Charlotte's web), didn't even hurt her.

On the day after the start of spring, the girl was just about to be attacked by a hungry gray wolf, when a young adult boy, stabbed the wolf in the body with a a sword, having mastered swordsmanship, saving the girl's life. They eventually both fell madly in deep, and desperate love, because the boy was born human who grew up after thirty years under a sleeping spell, without his mother and father, and will soon become a nature spirit in the autumn, the "Autumn Sprite". While they were looking into each other's romance hearted eyes, they both came too close, and they bumped into a hug, and a kiss with each other. And sometime, when they both meet each other again, as nature spirits of their seperate seasons, they would eventually be married and have a newborn child or some.

At the very end of spring, just before the next summertime, that evening, the girl found a sign and read "Follow the trail under nature hypnosis to the moment you'll make yourself a nature spirit. Only a mammal will awaken you after thousands of centuries." which was written by her nursery, and the girl remembered that time her adoptive mother told her husband the nursery, that on the day after twenty five years, at the end of spring, she'll become a nature spirit of spring. A glowing yellow spiritual orb was obsorbed bt girl's head and brain, and hypnotized her; her black eyelids in the center of her eyes turned yellow; the same color as her eyes. And she finally believed that her dream to become a nature spirit is about to come true, as she walked through the forest on the trail all the way to a dead hollowed tree standing on the other side of a huge lagoon. She walked on the water, entered a cave, and kept walking until it got extremely dark and quiet in there. But not for long. Just as the moon rose outside the tree, the girl's eyes slowly closed, unable to move, and felt a glimmer of yellow light underneath the water where she was standing. Waves of water surrounded the girl with magical magic, while she slowly spun around, transforming her, dissapearing and disolving into the water (similar to how Princess Odette was turned into a swan), becoming a nature spirit, and sealing her fate forever inside the tree. During her transformation, the girl decided to name herself the "Spring Sprite", and will enjoy herself for the rest of her life. Just as her transformation was complete, and after disappearing and disolving into the water, her sealed fate was revealed that the sprite was again under a sleeping spell that would make her sleep forever, imprisoned in an itty bitty living space inside the Hollow tree (not inside a soiled oil lamp, a bottle, a ring, a vase, or a treasure chest, any genie resides). The sprite slept, waiting to awake from slumber, and hoped that a happy elk would find her.

Ten thousand centuries have passed, as the Firebird Suite segment was about to begin concluding Fantasia 2000; the elk the Sprite hoped for is on his way to find, awaken, and rescue her. The spirit of her 25 year old mortal self, eventually, remains in the heavens high in the skies.

Role in the Firebird suite segment of Fantasia 2000[]

EaS gliWAAA-Haj

The Sprite first appears in the sequence where snowmelt drips down in a hidden pool. In the form of a Water Sprite, she merges from the pool to meet the Elk and he leads her out of the hidden alcove and she gets to work, her body turning green and melting the snow away for the coming of the Spring season, covering the forest in fresh foliage. Going up a nearby mountain though, her abilities aren't following her up the slope. Curious as to what's going on, she looks inside the massive crater of the mountain at a small volcanic stone. Touching the stone, it awakens the Firebird, who rises from the ash, smoke and magma to attack the Sprite and destroy the forest. Running for dear life from the flames and lava flows, the Firebird eventually chases her up a tree where the monster rises up for one final attack. Cutting to the aftermath where the landscape has turned grey and ash-covered, the Elk finds a burnt out and grey Sprite, in Ash form. The Elk helps her up and gives her a ride on his antlers as the Sprite cries from the destruction she unleashed. Soon she realizes her tears are healing the land and takes back to the sky in a Rain form, bringing a healing shower down upon the valley. Continuing her work, she bring the plant life back to the forest, restoring the trees and finally covering the volcano in a fresh layer of grass, her confidence fully restored. She then later, magically disappeared in a flash, after bursting out a joyous laughter.

The sprite then, found a trail that led her to the village in front of Bald Mountain, the gathering place of Satan and his followers. She heard thunder strike, and thought that they didn't celebrate Walpurgis Night, the equivalent of humanity's own Halloween, and she met of with the evil Chernabog himself who threatened her about making a mistake bringing her to the mountain. the Sprite tried to strike Satan, but was attacked by the Headless Horseman, who pinned her down on a tree, after beating up an army of pridelanders, apes, and experiments. He doesn't listen to the ghost of Bambi's mother, pleading him to not hurt the sprite, and immediately chops her head, but the horseman disappeared into ashes, when her forest was ravaged leaving the landscape turned grey and ash-covered. Bambi explains to his father, the Great Prince, his girlfriend, Faline, his other friends, Thumper the bunny, his sisters and parents, and Flower the skunk, what had happened to the forest, and went to find a burnt out and grey Sprite, in Ash form. Bambi helps her up and gives her a ride on his antlers as the Sprite cries from the destruction she unleashed. Soon she realizes her tears are healing the land and takes back to the sky in a Rain form, bringing a healing shower down upon the valley.

Cquote1
[As the Elk's breath touches an icicle, the beautiful voice of a beautiful young woman's slow, calm, peaceful, and happy moaning and groaning quietly echoes from the cave, as a dewdrop drops from the icicle, then plops into the lagoon, while the female voice wails like a ghost, with the water unsettling, but slowly moving while forming and growing into the spirit of a colorful, magical, and beautiful young adult girl] Oh... wonderful... My slumbering seal... has finally been broken. At long last... I... am... completely... reborn... and free... having awakened... by birth... from my wonderful rest... after all these centuries. I have been waiting for this moment... all my life. [sigh]

I am ever so much thankful of you. That is why I called to you for the rescue, didn't I? (Elk: I... guess so. [Really slowly and carefully lifts her out of the alcove]) [giggle] You have some tall pair of antlers. Are you an elk? (Elk: Excellent observation. I am. By the way, you can always call me "Elk", if that's okay.) Mm, hmm. I am known as... the magical Spring Sprite; A Dryad-like creature from Greek Mythology... The legendary spirit... and beautiful young girl... of Nature... beauty... Spring... love... life... renewal... and rebirth. But most people also call me "Mother Nature".

I am a magical, and ageless young adult female human being... all formed out of water... especially from the snowmelt drop... with beautiful yellow eyes... a huge leather curtain hung onto my arms and hips... allowing me to fly... and such lovely... wavy... and bushy hair flowing down my back... all the way to the ground... perfect for long twigs of leafs to grow on.

Cquote1
(Elk: You don't seem like you're from this forest.) That might be where I'm from and where I was born to live there. (Elk: Is that so?) Mmhmm. My earliest memory from ten thousand centuries is arriving. (...) I was the fourth girl, along with my three sisters who were also born to be nature spirits; one of summer, one of fall, and one of winter, to be born in a forest, but our mother dided in childbirth and our father died at the hands of a grizzly bear, at the same time the bear was shot. But I was so lucky, the forest's insects and animals, along with a spirit woman, Mother Earth AKA Gaia, and her hudsband, Aquarius, found me. They raised me like one of their own, and someday, I would make myself their magical nature spirit. My nursey, Sky cast a spell that would not only put me to sleep, but also still make me age as other humans would usually age. After twenty-five years, the spell was broken, and I was wearing loincloth and a broth for the the first half of spring, and then a ballgown for the second half. I treated every animal and insect with care, even spiders, like Charlotte, and even misquiotes didn't hurt or bother me. When I was about to be attacked by a hungry wolf, a young adult boy saved me from the wolf, and we suddenly fell madly in deep and desperate love. He was actually born human and will soon be a nature spirit, too. Mostly only for autumn. He was a very romantic, and kind man. Even I was surprised the first time I met up and fell in love with him. When I see him as a nature spirit, we will be married soon. Anyway, at the end of spring I read a sign that would lead me on a trail to my fate to become a nature spirit. And suddenly, I felt hypnotized, as I started following the trail to this tree. It seems like my dream of what I was meant to be has come true; After entering the cave, I kept walking until it was very dark and quiet for a short time. As the moon rose that night, under a transformation spell, I finally made myself a nature spirit, and decided to give myself the name "Spring Sprite". I slept inside the tree to await the day to break my slumbering seal for ten thousand centuries, until I found out that it was you, that I hoped, Mr. Elk. (Elk: Quite a story, huh?) Indeed. (Elk: Now look, you're somehow, a beautiful woman in the form of a human-like creature. And whatever you do for springtime, humanity likes it, right?) ...yes. This could definitely work. (Elk: Anyway... Do you think you could.. proceed thru the forest and show me your magic as you bring it here for me?) [short giggle] Yes... I will do so... as long as you wish. It's my only job and career, of course. It has been such a long and beautifully cold winter. And since winter is about to come to an end... the moment I have awakened from my sealed fate... from quite an extremely long... long time... has finally arrived... and brought me joy to my magical heart and soul. Springtime is only about to be the beginning. You have meant so much of everything to me... and now it is my time to return the favor. I care not what happens to my home... But I shall be happy for you to protect and support me. So... if you would move aside... please. You shall witness me... and my magic... as I leave the lagoon... and bring the beautiful life of spring... to my forest, so you can live happily. [after a brief second, she closes her eyes] Here it goes... I shall leap out of the water from the lagoon... cover the ground with huge floras of fresh layers green grass... melt all the snow away... by bursting all into beautiful growth... and make my season of such beautiful love and springtime... come to life... and make the forest itself... enchanted... for the first time... in forever... once more.

Bambi and the Spring Sprite[]

Cquote1
[As Bambi's breath touches an icicle, the beautiful voice of a beautiful young woman's slow, calm, peaceful, and happy moaning and groaning quietly echoes from the cave, as a dewdrop drops from the icicle, then plops into the lagoon, while the female voice wails like a ghost, with the water unsettling, but slowly moving while forming and growing into the spirit of a colorful, magical, and beautiful young adult girl] Oh... wonderful... My slumbering seal... has finally been broken. At long last... I... am... completely... reborn... and free... having awakened... by birth... from my wonderful rest... after all these centuries. I have been waiting for this... magical moment... all my life. [sigh]

Cquote1
Hello there... my master... (Bambi: Hello.) [hugs Bambi by the head, with a long embrace, holding onto him] You have brought me to eternal life... from my peaceful rest.. after a long time. I am ever so much thankful of you. That is why I called to you for the rescue, didn't I? (Bambi: I... guess so. [chuckles] [Really slowly and carefully lifts her out of the alcove]) I see you traded your white spots in exchange for a small pair of antlers. Are you still a fawn? (Bambi: Why, of course. And some day, I'll be growing up into a buck, because my antlers will be getting longer, too.) Wow. I guess one thing only changes into another at time. Like how the seasons come and go, and small species become big species. (Bambi: [chuckles] I know, right? That's the example. By the way, my name is Bambi. And you're probably wondering why.) If it's a story, then let me guess the story; because you were born to your mother who has been a close mate to your father, the Great Prince of your forest? (Bambi: Yeah, there's more details in my story than that, though.) Because when winter came, you lost your mother to the poachers, but you still have your father? And you sometimes fight your rival, Ronno from threatening your mate, Faline? (Bambi: That's right! I should've known you'd get that.) Splendid story. also, I've heard you have other friends, too. (Bambi: Uh-huh. Thumper is one of my best bunny friends. A skunk friend of mine, is actually named after a plant he like with others; Flower.) Ooh, nice. (Bambi: A wise old owl calls himself "Friend Owl", and usually he sleeps in a tree at day until night, although it doesn't matter how long he sleeps. For some reason he doesn't like being frightened by thunder during storms, and when he gets disturbed by a bunch birds in spring. Who are you, anyway?) I am known as... the magical Spring Sprite; The legendary spirit... and beautiful young girl... of Nature... beauty... Spring... love... life... renewal... and rebirth. As an attractive woman-like creature... I bring my beautiful season to life. It is wonderful to meet you.
—A grateful Spring Sprite when she first greeted Bambi who resurrected her from slumber.

(Bambi: Wow... You are incredibly beautiful.) [giggle] Yes... I am beautiful. Because as a magical spirit, I look and feel that way. [makes a mirror at her heights and widths appear with her magic] Just look at me. I am a magical, and ageless young woman... all formed out of water... especially from the snowmelt drop... with beautiful yellow eyes... a huge leather curtain hung onto my arms and hips... allowing me to fly... and such lovely... wavy... and bushy hair flowing down my back... all the way to the ground... perfect for long twigs of leafs to grow on. But I am also quite nude, as in naked, which is because I do not wear clothing. I am a spirit of nature, that is. And that is what I am always... meant to be. [giggle] I even transform into such beautiful colors depending on my surroundings. (Bambi: Very nice.) Well, I thank you for your commentary.
—Spring Sprite to Bambi about herself, when he commented on her beauty.

(Bambi: You don't seem like you're from this forest.) That might be where I'm from and where I was born to live there. (Bambi: Is that so?) Mmhmm. My earliest memory from ten thousand centuries is arriving. (...) I was the fourth girl, along with my three sisters who were also born to be nature spirits; one of summer, one of fall, and one of winter, to be born in a forest, but our mother dided in childbirth and our father died at the hands of a grizzly bear, at the same time the bear was shot. But I was so lucky, the forest's insects and animals, along with a spirit woman, Mother Earth AKA Gaia, and her hudsband, Aquarius, found me. They raised me like one of their own, and someday, I would make myself their magical nature spirit. My nursey, Sky cast a spell that would not only put me to sleep, but also still make me age as other humans would usually age. After twenty-five years, the spell was broken, and I was wearing loincloth and a broth for the the first half of spring, and then a ballgown for the second half. I treated every animal and insect with care, even spiders, like Charlotte, and even misquiotes didn't hurt or bother me. When I was about to be attacked by a hungry wolf, a young adult boy saved me from the wolf, and we suddenly fell madly in deep and desperate love. He was actually born human and will soon be a nature spirit, too. Mostly only for autumn. He was a very romantic, and kind man. Even I was surprised the first time I met up and fell in love with him. When I see him as a nature spirit, we will be married soon. Anyway, At the end of spring I read a sign that would lead me on a trail to my fate to become a nature spirit. And suddenly, I felt hypnotized, as I started following the trail to this tree. It seems like my dream of what I was meant to be has come true; After entering the cave, I kept walking until it was very dark and quiet for a short time. As the moon rose that night, under a transformation spell, I finally made myself a nature spirit, and decided to give myself the name "Spring Sprite". I slept inside the tree to await the day to break my slumbering seal for ten thousand centuries, until I found out that it was you, that I hoped, my. (Bambi: Quite a story, huh?) Indeed. (Bambi: Now look, you're somehow, a beautiful lady in the form of a human-like creature. And whatever you do for springtime, humanity likes it, right?) ...yes. This could definitely work. (Bambi: Anyway... Do you think you could.. proceed thru the forest and show me your magic as you bring it here for me?) [short giggle] Yes... I will do so... as you wish. It's my only job and career, of course. It has been such a long and beautifully cold winter. And since winter is about to come to an end... the moment I have awakened from my sealed fate... from quite an extremely long... long time... has finally arrived... and brought me joy to my magical heart and soul. Springtime is only about to be the beginning. You have meant so much of everything to me... and now it is my time to return the favor. I care not what happens to my home... But I shall be happy for you to protect and support me. So... if you would move aside... please. You shall witness me... and my magic... as I leave the lagoon... and bring the beautiful life of spring... to my forest, so you can live happily. [after a brief second, she closes her eyes] Here it goes... I shall leap out of the water from the lagoon... cover the ground with huge floras of fresh layers green grass... melt all the snow away... by bursting all into beautiful growth... and make my season of such beautiful love and springtime... come to life... and make the forest itself... enchanted... for the first time... in forever... once more.

(Bambi: This Tree seems beat up. Do you think you should do some tinkering on it, too?) You are right... Bambi. This tree is very barren. Perhaps I believe it should be added with beautiful pink blossoms. That shall be perfect, too.

[gasps] Satan?! (Chernabog: Hello... young goddess. Did everyone and you miss me?) I don't know What on Earth you think Bald Mountain is, but you made a big mistake bringing me here. (Chernabog: Au contraire mon frère. The mistake was thinking you've awakened by birth, after the chiming church bells at dawn. But that was just a prelude; an hors d'oeuvre, an apéritif, an amuse-bouche.) What do you mean? (Chernabog: Perhaps I don't think you get the secret.) Secret? (Chernabog: But you're about to. And so will all your animal friends, alng with all of humanity around the world. (...) AND YOUR OWN PARTED FAMILY, TOO!)

(Headless Horseman: Pathetic.) W-what...? A Headless Horseman...? (Chernabog: Where... are my manners. He's been looking for a head to chop on civilians.) Look, Satan.

—Spring Sprite meeting a Headless horseman she recognizes.

Looking for insects, animals, and humans?

You're unskilled... untrained... undefensive... AND... UNWORTHY!!!) You forgot one: unstoppable.

(Headless Horseman: [after destroying the entire pridelander, ape army, and Stitch's "cousins", he pinned the Sprite down on a tree] GOTCHA!!!) [choking] P-put me.. d-down! (Headless Horseman: It is my DESTINY to do what zombies could not; To return the Ultimate darkness for Halloween to the dead valley of my people!) [choking] Ultimate Darkness?! I don't know what you're talking about! You've got the wrong person! (Chernabog: Ultimate darkness? Now you're speaking my language. (Headless Horseman: Don't play stupid with me, daughter of Earth, and water, and nursling of the sky!) W-wait half a minute! Nobody who's threatening me knows my family! (Headless Horseman: All of humanity I hunt down for a head to chop are the sworn killing enemy of a my huge fan, the Thriller.) You mean Micheal Jackson's Thriller?! (Headless Horseman: Exactly! He and his massive army of Zombies of the undead, fought and died at humanity's hands of mortality, and now YOU... will die at mine of immortality!) Wait, you can't hurt me! PLEASE! I'M TOO BEAUTIFUL TO DIIIEEE...!!! (Bambi's Mother (Ghost): STOP! Stop, horseman! She must stand trial!) (Headless Horseman: I don't expect interruptions! I will banish the light, once and for all!) (Bambi's Mother (Ghost): It's not the heaven way. She must live!) Please, wait. (Bambi's Mother (Ghost): The world needs her!) (Headless Horseman: SILENCE!

[sob] (Bambi: Lady, what happened? Where have you been?) I'm... sorry. I have found myself lost on Bald mountain; the gathering place of Satan... and his followers. (Bambi: Satan? You mean Chernabog?) [sniff] Yes... He summoned a Horseman without a head. He was about to slice my head... but... your mother's ghost helped me... escape, until... he caught me and chopped my head... And now... my forest is devastated! [sniff] All because of my brief death. [sob] ...I'm so crippled. [sniff] Ashamed. [sob] This is all my fault. I just wanted life... [sobbing] [Bambi glances around at his surroundings, and recognized the path that lead the Sprite to Bald Mountain that was closed for some reason.] (Bambi: [to himself] I remember that on Walpurgis Night, Satan is worshiped by the creatures of evil. Under his powerful spell, they danced furiosly, until the coming of dawn, and the sounds of Church bells, sent the infernal army slinking back into their abodes of darkness. [gasps as an idea strikes him, and he turns back to the Sprite] I have faith in you. You bring life to things once dead. You can make this new.)

I feel SO much better and happier seeing life heal the forest. Oh... I feel peace... hope... and prosperity returning to all of the Earth. I thank you so much, for cheering me up. And of course, resurrecting me again... Prince Bambi. [giggles] Now... I shall make magical rain shower storms... to heal all of what's left of the forest... and I shall cover the mountain with grass... once again! Teeheeheehee, YAY...!

Salutations... Mickey Mouse. (Mickey: Heh... Hello, Sprite.) You have awoke me from my slumbering death. I am so most wonderfully thankful. (Mickey: Heh, you're most welcome.) Quite a nice paint brush you've got. (Mickey: Why thank you. It's used to paint anything by restoring, or thinning anything to nothingness. I eventually got it from my master of sorcery, "Yen Sid".) I have never seen any tool quite like it. (Mickey: So, who put you to slumber in death, anyway?) There was this wicked witch, who did that to me. She kidnapped me, and took me to this haunted castle she built. Who exactly is that witch? (Mickey: Her name is "Mizrabel". She also kidnapped other people and toons here. But I've happened to find a safe place for you. There's a fortress down the hall, nearby. I'll make sure you'll be back in your home where you can bring the life of springtime in the other forests in no time.) I thank you so much again for the rescue, Mickey. And of course, Jiminy Cricket. (Jiminy: Anytime, lady.) If you need some special assistance from me, just come and remind me. I shall be waiting. Now, I must fly and be on my way to the fortress.
—Spring Sprite meeting Mickey Mouse, and Jiminy Cricket who rescued her from Mizrabel.

Trivia[]

  • She is voiced by Helena Bonham Carter.
  • Character animation supervised by Anthony DeRosa.
  • Her live-action reference is provided by Sherri Stoner.
  • The original ending of the sequence had the Sprite taking on a Sun form and shining over the valley.
  • The Spring Sprite behaves in ways similar to animals by the various ways she moves. Sometimes she soars like a bird, floats like a fish or mermaid when underwater, climbs like a squirrel, and runs upright like a human, and even moves in a flowing motion akin to water.
  • Interestingly, the spring sprite bears an extremely vague resemblance to Miriam, Moses' sister from Dreamworks' The Prince Of Egypt and Merida from Disney / Pixar's Brave according to a few remarks.
  • The Sprite is similar to Ariel from The Little Mermaid (Curious about new things, not able to speak like Ariel in one point of the movie because of the sprite's british-american accent, but can also swim.), Lady Amalthea from The Last Unicorn (Naked), Chaos from Sonic Adventure (loving and gentle, and formed out of water), Jane Porter from Tarzan, and Rapunzel from Tangled (Artistic, and creative).
  • Laughs and screams provided by Jack Mercer, the original voice of Spooky the Tuff Little Ghost in Casper the Friendly Ghost's classic cartoons Hooky Spooky (1957), Which is Witch (1958) and Doing What's Fright (1959) would be used several times.
