One Sorrowful Owl

"One Sorrowful Owl" is the fifteenth 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
Friend Owl starts to feel more gloomy, and Bambi and his friends realize that Friend Owl actually misses his parents, who both passed away of old age long ago, so they try to make him feel better by letting him know that they are still alive in his heart, and that he still has friends, even if they can annoy him at times.

Plot
One day in the forest, Friend Owl is looking less grumpy or cheerful than usual, and rather more gloomy, as Bambi ponders on what is up with the owl. After being convinced to talk to him by Thumper and Flower, they realize that Friend Owl is sad because his parents have "retired" long ago, and has kept thinking about them, wishing he could bring them back. When Bambi tries to talk to him again, Friend Owl just flies away from them, leaving the fawn quite concerned about him, until he comes up with an idea to get him to realize that he doesn't need to keep thinking about his parents as they are still alive in his heart. When they head to Friend Owl's home, Friend Owl doesn't want to come out and wants to sulk all day, but when Bambi tells him about his mother and how he got over her death, even if he wanted his mother to come back for some time, Friend Owl decides to just enjoy a simple day in the forest with Bambi and his friends to get the worries out of his head.
