Ferdinand is a 2017 movie by Blue Sky Studios, adapted from Munro Leaf's children's book The Story of Ferdinand. It's directed by Carlos Saldanha, who directed the Rio films, and is the book's second Animated Adaptation after Disney's 1938 Silly Symphonies short.The film, like the book, tells the story of a bull named Ferdinand (voiced by John Cena) who loves flowers. One day, he's taken from his family by some men mistaking him for a dangerous beast and is put in Casa del Toro—the same bull house he escaped from as a calf. Ferd reunites with his calf-hood rivals Valiente (Bobby Cannavale), Guapo (Peyton Manning) and Bones (Anthony Anderson), along with Scottish bull Angus (David Tennant) and mute and stoic bull Maquina (Tim Nordquist). Not wanting to fight and determined to return home, Ferdinand rallies a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits—consisting of a wise but slightly unstable goat named Lupe (Kate McKinnon) and a trio of hedgehogs; Una (Gina Rodriguez), Dos (Daveed Diggs) and Cuatro (Gabriel Iglesias) to help him escape, all while proving that you can't judge a bull by its cover.The movie was released on December 15, 2017, and was the last Blue Sky Studios film to be released by 20th Century Fox as a standalone studio prior to its acquisition by Disney which announced its buyout a day before this movie was released, who ultimately handled distribution for their next and final film Spies in Disguise in 2019, with this being their penultimate film before the studio was shuttered in early 2021. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| Ferdinand / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: When Valiente's horn breaks off. In reality, this would be incredibly gory. In the movie, the horn is depicted as merely having a bloodless gray core. On a related note, the chop house is oddly pristine; even the machines supposedly used for slaughtering cattle shine like they're brand new. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| Ferdinand / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Valiente's broken horn looks to have merely a darker grey core and does not bleed or even seem to cause him any discomfort. In reality, cattle horns are made of a keratin coating around a live bone core — breaking them is an exceedingly painful and gory affair. Bulls, like all cows, have eyes on the sides of their heads, not forward facing like humans have. The bulls are all shown having upper incisors, something real-life cattle lack, safe for a sturdy dental pad in its place. Highland Cattle like Angus, while notoriously shaggy, do not grow fur over their eyes. It would make them poorly equipped to survive if they couldn't see.note Strictly speaking, they do often have long shaggy locks over their foreheads, but as mentioned, in reality cows have their eyes on the sides of their heads, so these "bangs" don't usually cause them much trouble seeing. Uno, Dos and Cuatro are shown to possess rodent-like incisors, as opposed to the needle-like fangs that real life hedgehogs possess. In real life, hedgehogs curl into balls for defense, not to travel around. | |

Visual Pun: As said in Tempting Fate, there's a scene with Ferdinand, a bull, in a china shop literally. Ferdinand sticks the part of Paco's and Angus' fur that goes over their eyes upward using his tongue. It's a cowlick. When forced to face el matador, Ferdinand uses bullfighting methods himself; he's a literal bull-fighter. | |

| Ferdinand / int_1bd4c0bf | comment |
Unwinnable by Design: Bull fights. If anything, the movie is restrained in depicting just how true this is — bulls that successfully injure the matador are set upon by additional matadors until they're dead, and bulls that kill the matador see their matriline slaughtered. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Ferdinand / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: While mostly faithful, this is still adapted from a barely 30-page children's picture book. The cast is expanded to give Ferdinand a human family who keep him as a pet, as well as other animals he meets in Madrid. Also, rather than be sent home just for refusing to fight the matador, he and his new friends stage a prison break. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Ferdinand / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: Bordering on Self-Deprecation: Ferdinand, a bull who chooses not to fight but has to pretend to, is played by John Cena, whose entire career is based around pretending to fight. Likewise Cena is famous for being a loud obnoxious douche in the ring and incredibly kind, sweet, and gentle in real life. Ferdinand is also sweet and gentle, but forced to act against his nature in the bullfighting ring. As Angus is trying to revive the bunny, he quips, "I'm not a doctor." David Tennant, Angus' voice actor, is famous for playing the 10th Doctor (although the Doctor is usually a medical doctor). Guapo crumbling under pressure mirrors a persistent criticism of his VA Peyton Manning's career. Upon hearing, “Piece of cake!�, Cuatro, played by Gabriel Iglesias says,�I love cake.� One of Gabriel Iglesias’ comedy tours was called, “I Love Cake.� | |

During their escape, Una tells Ferdinand to "do exactly as we do," not realizing that a bull can't roll as deftly across the ground as a hedgehog. Later, he falls on top of a car and sets off its alarm, then makes even more noise as he flails about trying to get it off his butt. | |

Actual Pacifist | |
| Ferdinand / int_557a31ce | comment |
Actual Pacifist: Ferdinand in a nutshell. When attacked or insulted, he'll not fight back, even if his own life is at stake, and instead he'll try to escape or look for a peaceful resolution. The closest he gets to actually fighting back is locking horns with Valiente when the latter insists on attacking him, and even then Ferdinand is still trying to cool him down. Anything other havoc he wreaks is out of fear (and being a 2000 pound creature). | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| Ferdinand / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: As hostile and unpleasant as he is, there are some instances in the film where Valiente makes some sensible points. He correctly argues that Ferdinand's pacifistic nature will do him no favors at Casa Del Toro, where a bull's failure to prove their worth as a fighter will cause them to be sent to the chophouse to be killed for meat. Bones even restates this fact. He’s later proven to be wrong as Ferdinand discovers the true nature of bullfighting and no matter if a bull gets sent to the slaughterhouse or is selected for a bullfight, the bull dies either way. There's no way for bulls to win, ever. While he shows no regret for his involvement in getting Guapo sent to the chophouse failing to impress El Primero, which Bones calls him out on, he counters with the argument that Guapo's chances of being selected were slim to none, an argument not unfounded due to Guapo's crippling Performance Anxiety being a major handicap to his skills as a fighting bull. Earlier in the film as calves, Bones believes he'll be chosen by a matador for being the fastest of the bulls but Valiente tells him he'll never be selected because his scrawny body will make it easy for him to be defeated. | |

Humble Pie | |
| Ferdinand / int_813f4eec | comment |
Humble Pie: Valiente loses his right horn in a scuffle with Ferdinand and, as a result, is sent to the slaughterhouse. This sends him a step closer to the Despair Event Horizon, shatters all of his preconceptions and deals a heavy blow on his ego. It took him a while to recover and pull a Heel–Face Turn. | |

Artistic License – Animal Care | |
| Ferdinand / int_82ff8b68 | comment |
Artistic License – Animal Care: Bull calves are normally reared in groups of same-age calves, with a nurse cow for social reassurance in their early weeks and with slightly older young steers after that. Calves as young (and fragile) as Ferdinand appears to be when the film begins certainly aren't housed in the same pens with adult bulls, especially bulls that are bred and conditioned to be fighters. Nina pets Ferdinand on the forehead, kisses him there, and puts things on top of his head for him to carry. Real cattle may be safely petted on the cheeks, neck, shoulders and chin, but not touched on the forehead: it encourages head-butting behavior, same as touching a cat's forepaws encourages scratching. | |

With Catlike Tread | |
| Ferdinand / int_8390eb68 | comment |
With Catlike Tread: While Ferdinand is in the china shop, he actually manages to get through much of it without so much as chipping a plate, even managing to balance many between his teeth or on his head/horns. Then his nose gets tickled with a duster and his sneeze the old woman right out the window. During their escape, Una tells Ferdinand to "do exactly as we do," not realizing that a bull can't roll as deftly across the ground as a hedgehog. Later, he falls on top of a car and sets off its alarm, then makes even more noise as he flails about trying to get it off his butt. | |

The Social Darwinist | |
| Ferdinand / int_8573ac0a | comment |
The Social Darwinist: Valiente believes that bulls are either fighters or they're meat. Deconstructed; While he's technically correct in this regard, him picking a fight with Ferdinand at the wrong time is exactly what gets him sent to be meat (since he breaks his horn), and he only survives the movie because Ferdinand's heart is big enough that he insists on rescuing Valiente and Guapo from the chophouse. | |

Foreshadowing | |

Foreshadowing: At the beginning, Ferdinand is actually willing to allow Valiente to hit him if it means Valiente will spare the red flower that Ferdinand has been looking after, and sits down on his haunches rather than fight. This foreshadows that Ferdinand's gentle nature is a source of bravery, rather than cowardice as Valiente assumed, and Ferdinand is later willing to risk his freedom and his life so the other bulls can be free. At the climax of his and El Primero's fight, he sits pointedly back on his haunches. | |

Sheathe Your Sword: This is how Ferdinand is eventually able to escape the bullfighting ring. When he finally gains the upper hand during the bullfight and has an opportunity to kill the bullfighter, he instead chooses to sit down on his haunches even as the bullfighter points a blade at him. This doesn't change the bullfighter's mind, but it changes the audience's mind; the audience insists on letting Ferdinand go, and Ferdinand finally gains his freedom. | |

Shout-Out: There's a brief shout-out to George Orwell's novel Animal Farm. At one point, Guapo thinks he's been selected to compete in the ring, so he's happy to be shipped away in a truck, as Boxer was happy to be shipped away because he thought he was going to retire in honor. But like Boxer, Guapo is actually being shipped away to be killed for meat, though in Guapo's case he survives because Ferdinand insists on saving him and Valiente from the chophouse. The hedgehogs are various shades of blue, surprisingly agile for their species and can roll up in perfect balls when they need to go fast - not unlike Sonic The Hedgehog. | |

While he shows no regret for his involvement in getting Guapo sent to the chophouse failing to impress El Primero, which Bones calls him out on, he counters with the argument that Guapo's chances of being selected were slim to none, an argument not unfounded due to Guapo's crippling Performance Anxiety being a major handicap to his skills as a fighting bull. | |

Jerkass: The three conceited German show-horses (Hans, Klaus and Greta) who live on the other side of the electric fence from the bulls. Valiente is also an example until near the end of the movie. Valiente's father. His reaction to his son trying to console him after he loses to Ferdinand's father is to spitefully say "Who asked you?" And when Ferdinand realizes his father is gone, he coldly states that he knew that bull was "soft" right in front of Ferdinand and the soft ones always go down. El Primero is a very arrogant and prideful man and looks down on people. Best shown in his introduction when he refuses a welcoming handshake from Moreno, as if Morena was unworthy of even touching the former. | |

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: While not actually evil, just about every character besides Nina, Juan and the farm animals cannot understand the concept of a bull as anything other than a violent beast to be feared.

Beware the Nice Ones: Ferdinand may be a Gentle Giant, but he's still a big, powerful bull who you really shouldn't mess with. When Valiente locks horns with him, Ferdinand accidentally breaks one of them off with barely any effort (while simply defending himself, no less), and when his is pushed to his limits by El Primero, he lifts him up with his horns, inches away from losing his temper completely, before catching himself. | |
