The Great and Almighty Friend Owl

"The Great and Almighty Friend Owl" is the fifth episode of the second season of Bambi, and the forty-ninth episode overall. It first aired on October 14, 2000, on ABC as part of Disney's One Saturday Morning.

Summary
Friend Owl, wishing to be big and huge as he is getting tired and cranky from flying through the forest each day, drinks a potion he finds from the caves, but nothing seems to happen at first. Soon, though, he starts growing and growing, which makes him happy at first, as that meant he can get a better look at the forest without having to fly a lot, and maybe even give his friends a ride! However, things soon start to turn sour, as his size becomes too much for the forest, and he starts to rampage through the forestlands and the surrounding cities, scaring humans as he grows bigger and bigger. It's up to Bambi, the Great Prince, and their friends to return Friend Owl back to his regular size before he becomes too big for Maine, and possibly even the entire planet.

Plot
Friend Owl's feeling very cranky with himself today. Every day, he has to check over the forest by flying through and over it, making him more and more tiresome, as his wings become weaker. He even gets attacked by the sly foxes at one point, with The Great Prince having to come to his rescue by fighting them off. This makes him feel small and "not really almighty".

Having enough of being a small forest animal, he decides to rest in his home, as Bambi comes up to him and tries to cheer him up by telling him how he's a useful owl, but the owl just lets Bambi go as he sulks in anger, until he discovers a map carved into a tree leading to a Magic Cave. Thinking that it may be the key to giving him a better perspective of the forest, he follows the directions to the cave, where inside, he finds a potion that is said to make those who drink it see 'more than what they usually see'. Thinking that he might need the best views of the forest he can get, he drinks all of the potion, leaving nothing behind. However, nothing happens to the owl... At first.
