A flower-loving bull is mistaken for a dangerous beast and taken away from his home. With new animal friends, he looks for a way back.

Ferdinand's refusal to equate strength with aggression gives the lively animal comedy a thoughtful center.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
Bullfighting and slaughter are threatened, a father disappears, and animals face capture, chase scenes, and danger.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
