Critics Consensus

Ferdinand's colorful update on a classic tale doesn't go anywhere unexpected, but its timeless themes -- and John Cena's engaging voice work in the title role -- make for family-friendly fun.

Though the story at times feels "How does it get there ?, how do they know that?" and all, the voice performance and the animations made me enjoy, especially Lupe and Ferd.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

buena película con personajes bien desarrollados y sirve como critica al torneo. Solo ridiculizado por escenas donde forzadamente tienen que bailar porque parece que piensan que sin ese tipo de escenas que no funcionan los niños no se van a entretener en la Sala del cine.

Cena is excellent as a kind and gentle big boy who doesn't know his own strength.

Not that this Ferdinand was for me. It's too obnoxious, too self-involved, the hyperactive antics of pretty much every member of the supporting cast driving me bonkers.

Rated: 2/4

Next Best Picture

This year seems perfectly primed for the classic story of a bull who refuses to fight. Well, the message may be needed, but in Ferdinand, the mediocre execution suppresses any power those ideas may have had.

Rated: 5/10

Film Frenzy

Frequently buries the lovely tale under the hyperactive excesses required to stretch this to feature length.

Rated: 2.5/4
