A Noisy Neighbor (Bambi episode)

"A Noisy Neighbor" is the seventh episode of the American animated television series Bambi, based on the book of the same name. It first aired on September 25, 1999, on ABC as part of Disney's One Saturday Morning.

Summary
When Bambi and his friends meet Edgar the beaver, Bambi, Flower and Faline becomes friends with him almost immediately. Thumper, however, isn't as certain, as he isn't really interested in making friends with him, thinking that he's a noisy beaver. As the rabbit tries to stay away from him, the beaver just always finds a way to easily distract him, which continues to upset him even further. However, the rabbit soon realizes just how good Edgar really is when he helps save his home and family from flooding, and resolves to be a better neighbor and friend to him.

Plot
One spring day in the forest, Bambi is chasing butterflies for a bit until he goes into the meadow, where they land in a field of flowers. As Bambi goes to smell them, one of the flowers started speaking, surprising Bambi and causing him to fall backward on his fluffy tail. The flower turns out to be Flower the skunk, as he asks him if he wants to play hide-and-seek. Before Bambi could answer, Thumper came hopping across the meadow and tags Flower, meaning that Bambi and Thumper will have to find a hiding spot. They go to the low hill where Thumper's family lived, and Thumper hides in it, forgetting that his deer friend is too big to fit in there, as he only got as far as his ears, causing him to be tagged by Flower in the process.

As they think about whether to keep playing or not, Thumper decided that he is tired of playing hide-and-seek, and that they should all thump instead at his favorite spot in the forest, which happens to be a hollow log that is perfect for thumping. As they got closer, however, they start to hear a loud thud echoing through the forest. They follow the noise to find a beaver raising his tail and smacking the hollow log like a drum. Bambi and Flower enjoy watching him banging the log like a drum, while Thumper wasn't pleased with how the beaver is using his favorite spot. After complaining for a bit, Thumper realizes that the beaver was named Edgar, and he likes to use the hollow hog for his own fun, too. When Edgar leaves, Bambi tries to ask Thumper what's wrong with the beaver, but Thumper doesn't want to tell them, as he believes it will hurt their feelings if he did.
