The Great Prince of the Forest is Bambi's father, the husband (later widower) of Bambi's Mother, Faline's father-in-law, Geno and Gurri's paternal grandfather and the head of the forest until Bambi succeeds him. He appears in the 1923 book Bambi, a Life in the Woods as a major character, its 1942 film adaption Bambi as a minor character and its 2006 midquel Bambi II as the deuteragonist.
He was voiced by the late Fred Shields in the first film and Patrick Stewart in the second film.
