• The title of the film changed three times – initially, the cartoon was planned to be called "Bambi and the Grand Duke," then the title changed to "Bambi and the Grand Duke of the Forest," but ultimately it was decided to settle on the simpler title "Bambi 2."
• As with the first "Bambi," the artists studied the behavior of live deer in order to achieve maximum realism in the animation.
• The characters of Surka and Dikobraz were voiced by the director himself, Brian Pimentel.
• The cartoon was in development since September 2001.
• The cartoon makes extensive use of computer graphics. For example, the Great Prince’s antlers are a separate three-dimensional computer model, animated in sync with the two-dimensional environment. The same technology was used in the cartoon “Brother Bear” (2003).
• Bambi's bleating was created using the same principle as the lions’ roar in “The Lion King” (1994) – a combination of an actor’s voice and actual bleating.
• In Felix Salten’s book, Ronno is much older than Bambi and does not show serious hostility towards him until he grows up.
• The sprouts at the beginning of the film and before the end credits obviously symbolize Bambi and his father – even their shape remotely resembles the Great Prince and his son.
• Upon slow-motion review, at the very beginning of the cartoon (the episode where Bambi and his father cross the shallows), a filling defect can be noticed: in one of the frames, the area around Bambi's eye is not light brown as usual, but white.
