Review of Ferdinand (2017) by Melvin H — 10 Jan 2018
Went to see this movie with my 4 year old grandson after taking him to see Coco. BOTH are great movies. BOTH are suitable for young children and have good moral values. I suspect Ferdinand is rated lower because of its "pacifist" bent.
It seems these days that there is not even a debate about all the violence in which our government engages around the world in OUR names. Ferdinand is a bull who does not want to fight. He loves flowers and everything beautiful about the world.
He is a "flower child" so to speak even though he is the biggest and strongest bull. When he has a chance to get the upper hand against the "evil" bullfighter, he just sits down and engages his eyes.
As a 69 year old survivor of the Vietnam era, I loved this movie and its morality. My grandson was very tired but it held his attention throughout. And it certainly held mine. If you liked Coco, you will like Ferdinand.
