Ferdinand the Bull is a 1938 animated short film (8 minutes) directed by Dick Rickard, produced by Walt Disney as one of the Silly Symphonies.A bull named Ferdinand is a gentle soul. While all the other bulls like to butt heads and fight, Ferdinand wants only to sit and smell the flowers. The great ambition of most of the bulls is to compete in the bullfighting ring in Madrid, but not Ferdinand. However, when the bullfighting scouts come to inspect the bulls, Ferdinand gets stung by a bee. The rampage he goes on leads the scouts to believe he is prime bullfighting material, and they take him to the ring, marketing him as "Ferdinand the Fierce". But he remains a gentle soul.Based on a children's book called The Story of Ferdinand. Nearly 80 years after this short, the book was again adapted into an animated feature called Ferdinand, by a company that would coincidentally be purchased by Disney shortly afterwards. | |

Creator Cameo: Walt Disney himself provides the voice of Ferdinand's mom. Milt Kahl voices Ferdinand as a calf. Walt is also caricatured as the matador. | |

Blowing a Raspberry | |
| Ferdinand the Bull / int_5619ea34 | comment |
Blowing a Raspberry: A blink-and-you'll-miss-it part. When the crowd shows dismay and anger at Ferdinand for smelling the flowers, one of the horses can be seen sticking his tongue out at him. The matador also blows a raspberry at Ferdinand when trying to taunt him to fight. | |

Open Shirt Taunt: The matador wants Ferdinand to fight him, and opens his shirt to dare him to gore him. Then Ferdinand sees the flower tattoo on the matador's chest and licks it. | |

Beastly Bloodsports | |
| Ferdinand the Bull / int_607a8bd2 | comment |
Beastly Bloodsports: Bullfighting. Although since this is a children's cartoon, Ferdinand doesn't get killed as would happen in Real Life.note Indeed, in Real Life, already wounded bulls sometimes flee in terror from matadors. | |

Brutish Bulls | |
| Ferdinand the Bull / int_9c4ff236 | comment |
Brutish Bulls: Ferdinand himself represents a humorous and deliberate inversion; by his kind's standards, he grows into an enormous adult with large, powerful haunches, is black as pitch and has an impressive pair of horns. However, he is a completely gentle soul that would never hurt a fly. | |

Bee Afraid | |
| Ferdinand the Bull / int_a9c1bc0c | comment |
Bee Afraid: Ferdinand's terror of a bee is what gets him incorrectly tabbed as a prime candidate for bullfighting. | |

Ambiguously Gay | |
| Ferdinand the Bull / int_e34400ab | comment |
Ambiguously Gay: Despite his big muscles, Ferdinand doesn't want to conform to gender stereotypes by playing sports with the other boys; he would rather sniff the flowers while batting his long eyelashes. It's probably not surprising that he's seen by some as a gay icon. | |
