Ferdinand (U)

Framed Film Club

A big ol' bull

After Ferdinand, a bull with a big heart, is mistaken for a dangerous beast, he is captured and torn from his home. Set on returning to his family, he forms a misfit team for the ultimate adventure.

Ferdinand (voiced by John Cena) is a gentle giant. As a young bull he escaped from a training camp in rural Spain after his father never returned from a showdown with a matador. Adopted by a girl who lives on a farm, Ferdinand's peaceful existence comes crashing down when the authorities return him to his former captors. With help from a wisecracking goat (a hilarious Kate McKinnon) and three hedgehogs, the giant but gentle bovine must find a way to break free before he squares off against El Primero, the famous bullfighter who never loses.

Set in Spain, Ferdinand proves you can't judge a bull by its cover.

Adults can only come if they’re bringing a child, and children can only come along if accompanied by an adult.

(If you’re over 18, we’re afraid being a ‘big kid’ doesn’t count.)
