Thumper is a fictional rabbit character from Disney's animated films Bambi and Bambi II. He is known and named for his habit of thumping his left hind foot. The young adult version of Thumper also appears at the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts as a meetable character.
The character was an important influence upon the development of the movie Bambi which started production with an adult tone which seemed too serious and uncommercial. As voiced by the young actor, four-year-old Peter Behn, the vivacious character of Thumper was expanded from its original minor role and led to a focus upon the young animals in the story.
Thumper is Disney's adaptation of Friend Hare from the novel Bambi, A Life in the Woods. The personality and visual appearance of the character was based upon Beatrix Potter's Benjamin Bunny. Unlike real rabbits, Thumper is drawn with paw pads, a feature that most rabbits lack.
Disney Consumer Products started a spin-off franchise, Disney Bunnies, with Thumper as the main character.

Thumper is the first EP by the Australian rock band Man in the Wood and the second and final release before the name change to Tlot Tlot a year later. It was released in 1990 on Manhole Productions. It was only released on vinyl.
The songs on Thumper are darker than the band's future output as Tlot Tlot. They are even darker than Bolwell and Paulzen's future work with Merril Bainbridge. The EP jacket appears to depict three Hopi Kachina dolls.
Even though all the songs are credited to Bolwell and Paulzen on the album cover, a search of the APRA|AMCOS database reveals that the songs "Compressor", "Down on His Luck", "I Wept" and "Circus" were actually co-written by all three Man in the Wood members.
The "Samurai Glands" tracks are actually cut up and backmasked segments of the song "Glamour and the Sand" that appeared as a B-side to the "Rain" 7" in 1989. Part 1 is the final 16 seconds of the song, while part 2 is the intro and cut up versions of the first verse and chorus.
On this release, drummer/vocalist Stanley Paulzen is credited as "Jstanley Paulzen". This may seem to be a spelling mistake, but his name is also spelled this way on the credit for the back artwork.

A thumper is a device used in a variety of magic tricks, typically with mentalism acts. It consists of small vibrating device that is triggered by a remote radio transmitter by a confederate in the audience. Practically any such device can be used, from custom equipment to everyday pagers.
In its most simple form, the confederate simply triggers the thumper at a given time. A classic example is to hide an object under a mug or cup, which the magician then discovers by slowly moving their hand over the cups and waiting for the thump. More complex forms can use codes.
