Ferdinand Trailers

Ferdinand, a little bull, prefers sitting quietly under a cork tree just smelling the flowers versus jumping around, snorting, and butting heads with other bulls. As Ferdinand grows big and strong, his temperament remains mellow, but one day five men come to choose the "biggest, fastest, roughest bull" for the bullfights in Madrid and Ferdinand is mistakenly chosen. Based on the classic 1936 children's book by Munro Leaf.

I was enjoying this until the Goat appeared, I liked the Goat at first, then the Goat was in Every scene trying to be quirky. I now hate the Goat. A good film but sadly with a Kate McKinnon as a goat overload.

For what seemed like a film that was trying to capture the Spanish culture it ended up preaching against it towards the end! This film is basically a cliché annoying kids film! It contains cartoony animation and movements, there's annoying pop songs shoehorned in when the bulls have a dance off with some horses (who have stereotypical German accents and act like pretty white boys????) only to fill up a few minuetes in the film. I'm not even sure if this is thst kid friendly as the bulls you've been attached to by them being given human voices, are sent to the slaughter house if they underperform! Of course it is subtle, but you're child is bound to ask what it means.Overall, I'm sure this would be fine to entertain some kids for 80 minuets, but just be aware that there's better kids films out there!

Ferdinand is a flower-loving bull who has a gentle frame of mind and is disinclined to participate in bullfighting until a combination of circumstances has him ending up in the bullring.This CGI feature is based on a classic kids' book, and kids are its intended audience. It is well animated, efficiently (but not especially originally) designed, and has a decent enough combination of action, humour, character to pass the time amiably.The voice cast does well enough but no-one shines especially.This, to me, was a resounding average+ - the kids will enjoy it well enough with younger ones finding more in it than older ones. Parents might nod off.

There are some cute scenes...but mostly it was a snoozefest.Also the goat driving the truck...who did it first - Ferdinand or Finding Dory?I'm pretty sure it was Dory...Kiddos may like it and want to watch as John Cena voices Ferdinand, but adults should just skip it.
