Can someone please tell me where the Thumper Statue is by Snow White's grotto? I'd like to take a photo on my next visit and could use a more precise location. Thanks.

There is a rabbit near the grotto, but it isn't thumper (it is cute though). :)

SOMETHING in the back of my mind is saying the Thumper bronze statue is in the hub. Not 100% certain, but will glance through MDM's pics to see...

That's where I've seen the Thumper statue......in the hub!

Nope, no Thumper in the hub. The rabbit is actually the White Rabbit.

I have a posting here that has pics and placement of all the hub statues. (http://www.colddeadfish.net/dlr/thehub.html)


The rabbits in Snow White's grotto are just random woodland creatures. I can't think of where a Thumper statue would be since there's no Bambi stuff in the park.

Okay I'm going out on a limb here but isn't there another couple statues to the left of the Castle when looking at it from Main street? Or am I getting confused with WDW.

cstephens - The White Rabbit isn't what I was picturing. BUT, I am old. I have a very clear mental image of a bronze Thumper. I very easily could have created it in my head....

It could be somewhere we're just not thinking of, but I can't come up with it. Or maybe you're picturing a piece of merchandise that was released some time?

The animal statues in front of the castle are associated with Sleeping Beauty. There is a rabbit, but it's not Thumper.

Sending you a big virtual hug. I'm on my way ... And I have a very clear mental image of Luke Skywalker "dropping into a ravine very much like the one on the Death Star" while he was just a boy on Tattooine (?) hunting some kind of animal in that hovercraft-thingy of his. So, when he achieved the same feat on the Death Star, it was easy-peasy and just like old times for him.

I swear I saw that on film somewhere. I swear it.

The photos I have seen of the rabbit, he is on a bronze pedestal, it looks like? Maybe it isn't Thumper. He is kind of on his hind legs.

If you go to Disneyland.com one of the first pictures you see is one of a castle with a rabbit in the foreground. Is that perhaps the image you're thinking of?

Nope, not that one. But MDM has said I am insane and it is in my head. So, sorry.... But the one in my head is really cool! I want one!

Cute rabbit, but not Thumper.

YES! Thank you! That is exactly the image! Looks like it is stage-left of the Castle? Is it easy to get to?

And lastly, that is NOT Thumper?!

And lastly, that is NOT Thumper?!It's right on the walkway along the moat. Easy to get to. Not Thumper. It's Sleeping Beauty's castle, not Bambi's castle.

There is indeed one of an owl! We took pictures of kids dressed in their Harry Potter robes with the owl statue. It's to the left as you face the castle.

Thank GOODNESS those statues haven't been on a MA I've played. I don't think I've ever really paid attention to them before!

What's next, no Bambi's Soarin' Over California? No Bambi's Monorail? No Bambi's Steakhouse 55.

Please, say it isn't so.

Luke would have been looking for womprats. If it was there (and I think I remember it too), it would have only been seen in the first week of release. They also had a scene with Luke and Biggs. They took the film back after the first week in release and re-edited it. Took out the Biggs scene. (Now I'm going to have to go find out about the womprat scene).

Are there character statues around the hub at WDW's MK? Maybe Thumper's in Florida...

Oooh, oooh, oooh ... Yes, womprats, that's right! .... I cannot tell you how awesome it is to hear you say that you can kind of remember it too ... I would be so eternally grateful if you came up with some kind of evidence that shows that it once was there ...

Give me a few days (a lot of my SW peeps are at WonderCon) and I'll put it up on FB and see if anyone else remembers it.
