Review of Ferdinand (2017) by Michael C — 30 Dec 2017
I remember reading "The Story of Ferdinand" when I was a kid and enjoying it. Me remembering the story which is the basis for this movie (And also having a free pass and a coupon for a free popcorn.
) motivated me to see this movie. While it is tough to expand a short children's book into a full length movie, I found myself not all that impressed with this movie. It is not terrible by any means, but it is just dull, formulaic and for the most part forgettable.
The whole scene of Ferdinand and the bulls escaping in the trailer was recycled right out of "Finding Dory". There were also come comedic moments that were just as unoriginal. There are a few laughs here and there, but overall "Ferdinand" is just another by the numbers animated film.
Unlike Pixar's "Coco" there is nothing here that makes this movie unique.
