Ferdinand - DisneyCember

Doug didn't care much for the Blue Sky movie when it came out, but maybe he's softened on it over time...maybe? Let's take a look at Ferdinand.

Ferdinand is a 2017 American animated adventure comedy film produced by 20th Century Fox Animation, Blue Sky Studios, Davis Entertainment and distributed by 20th Century Fox. Loosely based on Munro Leaf and Robert Lawson's 1936 children's book The Story of Ferdinand, the film was written by Robert L. Baird, Tim Federle, and Brad Copeland, and directed by Carlos Saldanha. The film features the voices of John Cena, Kate McKinnon, Bobby Cannavale, Peyton Manning, Anthony Anderson, David Tennant, Miguel Ángel Silvestre, and Gina Rodriguez. The music for the film was composed by John Powell, making it his eighth and final collaboration with Blue Sky before it shut down on April 10, 2021. The story, written by Ron Burch, David Kidd, and Don Rhymer, follows a gentle pacifist bull named Ferdinand who refuses to participate in bullfighting but is forced back into the arena where his beliefs are challenged when he faces off against the world's greatest bullfighter.

Fun fact: this was the second time Ferdinand was adapted, the first by Disney back in 1938, meaning that they now own both adaptations.

[@UndeadNerdT800]

Walt voiced Fredands mom

[@magnusm4]

The old version airs in sweden every christmas eve so it's compared a lot to that one. And it's not as well animated and just wasted time while the original is short and sweet.

[@kdusel1991]

​@@magnusm4 so i guess technically the new one is a remake of the original then? 🤔🤔

[@Regfife]

@@kdusel1991 More techiically they are both adaptations of the same book.

Does Disney even acknowledge it? Cause I swear Disney has been on this crusade the last 20 years to deny they created shorts like Ferdinand or Martins and the Coys or Willie the Whale, etc, etc

[@DanGamingFan2406]

Say what you want about the film overall, but John Cena does a surprisingly good, sincere job as Ferdinand. And the scene in the bull ring where Ferdinand wins without fighting and the matador villain spares him is a powerful one.

[@chasehedges6775]

Soooooo true.

John Cena wouldn't have been my first choice to voice Ferdinand, but he delivered a surprisingly warm, heartfelt and sincere performance, which was arguably more memorable than the film.

[@trinaq]

Yep, the final one being "Spies I Disguise", which Doug covered a few years ago.

[@eeveestar6826]

The final one was actually Nimona, it was made by BlueSky but they had to ship it to Netflix to save it after Disney shut them down

[@kdusel1991]

​@eeveestar6826 I've heard Nimona is pretty good! And tbh, I'm glad that they shut down Blue sky. I know there's tons of talent now out of a job but tbf their film output was pretty weak as a whole.

[@ImTooOldForThisNonsense]

@eeveestar6826 Blue Sky didn't ship it to Netflix, though. Disney shut Blue Sky down, cancelled Nimona, and Nimona got revived by Netflix.

[@ImTooOldForThisNonsense]

Why should a film studio's output matter regarding *people losing their jobs?* To paraphrase Stefan Ellison, do you appreciate film and animation as an art form, or do you only see value in something that caters to you and you alone?

[@Scarshadow666]

As one of the top comments said, I recommend checking out the original 1938 Disney short of Ferdinand! I remember growing up watching the short and it's a great example of classic animation! It also used to appear alongside another Disney short called Willie the Operatic Whale (definitely recommend seeing that one too - though I also recommend watching with a box of tissues too, because it takes a sad/bittersweet turn).

I have a weird relationship with Fernando.

This movie was based on a short story and they had to add a lot of new material to get it to full feature length. Funny enough though the original short story was referenced in "The Blind Side" I mentioned on another video that I really hate sports movies and this movie does have a lot of that stuff that I really hate. However a big part of the plot is that the black guy named Michael never learned how to read and rather than being one of those movies where they pass the dumb jock just so he can play in the game, they actually want him to be able to get a real education knowing that he can't rely on sports as a career for the rest of his life. He does actually learn how to read and Ferdinand is actually one of the first books he reads and connects with. Micheal is a lot like the bull in that everyone sees him as this big tough guy but that's not really who he is. I think that movie making that connection to the character is actually a better way to adapt that story to film than the animated one is.
