‘Ferdinand’ Trailer: John Cena Is The Bull Who Refuses To Fight

Watch the Ferdinand trailer below.
Ferdinand, adapted from a classic children’s tale by Munro Leaf and Robert Lawson, sees the titular bull making friends with other bulls, a goat, a pack of porcupines and more as he tries desperately to get back home to his family. It all looks rather silly, which makes it appealing to kids, but in the style of Blue Sky Studios (who brought use Ice Age and Rio), the goofiness doesn’t seem to come with much substance. It has heart, to be sure, but it doesn’t look particularly subtle or clever.
The voice cast of this movie is one of the more appealing parts, as it includes Saturday Night Live favorite Kate McKinnon, Gina Rodriguez, Anthony Anderson, Daveed Diggs, Gabriel Iglesias, Bobby Cannavale, David Tennant, Flula Borg, Sally Phillips, Boris Kodjoe, Jerrod Carmichael, Raúl Esparza, Karla Martínez and Miguel Ángel Silvestre. That’s an impressive roster of talent, so hopefully they don’t go to waste.

Ferdinand rolls into theaters just before Christmas on December 15.

Directed by Carlos Saldanha, the voice cast also includes Daveed Diggs, Gabriel Iglesias, Bobby Cannavale, David Tennant, Flula Borg, Sally Phillips, Boris Kodjoe, Jerrod Carmichael, Raúl Esparza, Karla Martínez and Miguel Ángel Silvestre.
