Quotes
Young Ferdinand:
[Ferdinand's father has been selected to fight in the bullring]
Dad, can't I be a winner without being a fighter?
Ferdinand's Father:
[digests the question thoughtfully, sighs and then looks at his son in eye, sadly understanding]
Son, I wish that could happen. But the world doesn't work like that for us.

Alternate Versions
The UK version is cut for a U certificate, removing a use of "bloody", several scenes of characters being electrocuted, a sequence where Ferdinand and Valiente must evade blades in a meat processing plant, and Ferdinand being slashed during the climax. See more »
Ferdinand is an over-the-top cartoony movie about a massive bull who's expected to be a fighter but only wants peace. It gets wildly energetic, sometimes to the point of being too much. The crazy goat, especially, is a really bizarre character that sometimes makes me laugh and sometimes just makes me uncomfortable. But if you're in the right mood and don't take it too seriously, there are some pretty silly and funny moments in the movie. Something I like too is that most of the characters, for all their quirks, have a moment of vulnerability. The few calm moments reveal a lovely message about putting down arms and soaking in the simple joys of life.
