A young prince of the forest learns to walk, talk, and make friends under the guidance of his mother. As he grows from a fawn into a young stag, he experiences the wonders and dangers of the woods, the joy of spring, and the heartbreak of winter, preparing to one day take his father's place as the Great Prince of the Forest.
