Ferdinand
Directed by Carlos Saldanha
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. From TMDB

positive · AI labelView post →Ferdinand is actually a really cute movie, and a pretty good take-down of toxic masculinity for a celebrity vehicle studio joint... In this TED Talk I will- But no, I have a soft spot for it...big guy struggles...

The film portrays a crime from the murder to the execution via guillotine and includes a flashback to the criminal's previous life. moviessilently.com/2026/05/24/h...
neutral · AI labelView post →A kid could see a movie and grow up to be a star breathing the same air as Franz Ferdinand. Yeah, pre-WWI cinema is extremely under-discussed. Let's talk about all movies made between 1980 and 2020, leaving out anything made before 2000.

neutral · AI labelView post →Channel surfing, I paused briefly on the film Ferdinand, in which David Tennant voices a Highland bull named Angus. I was caught in its headlights because it was at that moment DT delivered the line "I'm a bull, not a doctor." I fell off the sofa, spilled my soda, and traumatized the cat. Och, aye!

neutral · AI labelView post →And story-wise, I've long appreciated the movies they produced were often about the importance of empathy and community. You see this especially in Robots, Horton Hears a Who, The Peanuts Movie, Ferdinand and Nimona. As an environmentalist, I also love how pro-environment their movies often were.

neutral · AI labelView post →I will always maintain this was the worst mistake in Disney's history. It's always odd when people online say "Fox would have shut it down, anyway." Because the head of Fox mentioned going all-in on animation in 2018, because she was impressed with how "Ferdinand" did. variety.com/2018/film/ne...

neutral · AI labelView post →However, THE TWENTIETH CENTURY TRAMP was actually a remake of a movie that *was* sci-fi. Ferdinand Zecca's CONQUERING THE SKIES (1901), imported from France, which survives in far better shape. As you can see, motorized, heaver than air transport. Looks fun!
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh, and the film was actually a ripoff of the 1901 Ferdinand Zecca production CONQUERING THE AIR. Ironically, the original movie *is* sci-fi. Zecca's air machine has no balloon and is a heavier than air craft two years before the Wright Bros. flight.
neutral · AI labelView post →I lived this movie before. Compared to Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, Idi Amin, Mussolini, Hitl3r, Pol Pot and Ferdinand Marcos; *trump is by all counts, a PARODY of authoritarianism and dictators. That's worse than puppet dictator and naive Americans LOVE to overthink and overestimate. Basically.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ferdinand is based off a children's book that was adapted into a 1930s Disney cartoon, and decades later turned into a Blue Sky movie. The titular bull (John Cena) is being trained to fight against a matador but his gentle nature and smelling flowers makes him oblivious to everything around him.

Recently they did away with the animal pix (boo!) but I was lucky enough that they had a little girl that looks like Jubilee in human form.
