Basic Infomation

Geno is the son of Bambi and Feline. He is seen at the end of the first movie, and likewise appears at the end of the original ''Bambi'' novel, in which he is stated to look like Bambi. Geno and Gurri are main characters of the novel's sequel, Bambi's Children: A Family in the Forest. Although it is not precised in the movie which fawn is actually Geno, a French Disney book (''Le Enfants de Bambi'') and a Disney comic (''Bambi's Children'') both depict Geno with red eyes, thus assumedly Geno is the red-eyed fawn in the film.

As there was no full body picture of Geno (by himself) from the film to use as his detail picture (only part of him can be seen behind his sibling), we put together a combination of Geno's head and the back legs of Bambi (with the latter's colour altered to match), which was then pasted onto a background from the film.
