Review of Ferdinand (2017) by Ahmedaiman999 — 01 Mar 2018

At least it's better than The Boss Baby + The anti-animal cruelty message represented very well from the perspective of the bulls and also merged very well with the message of individuality.

+ The animation is simple yet very beautiful, and the human characters' designs are really something special; every single human character design is different from the other and also very suitable for their Spanish nationality.

+ John Cena did a great job voicing the titular character, I mean who could be better than him voicing a strong bull with a big heart?

+ "Home" is really a very good song and surprisingly moving!

+ The final bullfighting scene is very well directed.

- The humor is really really bad in this movie and 99% of the joke didn't work for me. Every bad joke you could imagine is in this movie; they are very silly, they are clichéd and they are so long that make you bored!

- There are a lot of useless characters who are often supposed to be funny (okay, maybe the hedgehogs weren't that bad), and their introduction seemed like short films not just because they are long scenes but also very bad edited.

- Unexpectedly, the relationship between the little girl and Ferdinand seemed to be forced to the movie. I really think it's not that important to the story, and the movie itself didn't care so much about it; it didn't give it a lot of time to be emerged or to be felt throughout the movie.
