Ferdinand (2017)
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.

Thanks for the memories!
Good movie but grossly overrated
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
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!
This film tells the story of a bull who does not like to fight, unlike the other bulls who live to have their glory in a bull fight.Bull fighting is rather cruel, I think. If I knew this film was about bulls that are trained to fight, then I probably would not have watched it. Fortunately, as this is a children's film, the violence is toned down. The various animals form a bond and help each other out, which is a nice thing to watch. Still, I don't agree with a from that may help to glorify bull fighting.
Far more funny than I expected. Its hard to find movies I can watch with my children and still be entertained. I would watch this again, which for me is high praise.
I usually find animated movies please the entire family but this time my 8 year old was the only one who enjoyed it. Did not care for the story. No jokes for the adults. Couldn't wait for it to end and my boyfriend played on his cell throughout the entire movie.
