Why this age?
Synopsis
Ferdinand, a little bull, prefers sitting quietly under a cork tree just smelling the flowers versus jumping around, snorting, and butting heads with other bulls. As Ferdinand grows big and strong, his temperament remains mellow. But one day five men come to choose the "biggest, fastest, roughest bull" for the bullfights in Madrid— and Ferdinand is mistakenly chosen.
Difficult scenes
Father's death: implied but not shown, emotional shock for young Ferdinand Panic sequence: Ferdinand has a breakdown and destroys town square, brief chaotic scenes Threat of slaughter: bulls learn they will be killed if they don't fight Bull fights: light and humorous confrontations, without real violence
💬 Our analysis
