Ferdinand is a 2017 American animated comedy-drama adventure film directed by Carlos Saldanha and starring the voices of John Cena, Kate McKinnon, Bobby Cannavale, Peyton Manning, Anthony Anderson, David Tennant, Gina Rodriguez, Daveed Diggs, Gabriel Iglesias, and Miguel Ángel Silvestre. Loosely based on Munro Leaf and Robert Lawson's 1936 children's book The Story of Ferdinand, it was produced by 20th Century Fox Animation, Blue Sky Studios, and Davis Entertainment. The story follows a pacifist bull named Ferdinand (Cena) who, after escaping a bullfighting-training ranch and settling at a flower farm, is captured and brought back to the ranch, where he must overcome the expectations of a violent tradition and lead a misfit team on a perilous journey across Spain to escape once again and return home.
Ferdinand premiered on December 10, 2017, in Los Angeles, and was theatrically released in the United States on December 15, 2017 by 20th Century Fox. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics and underperforming domestically, the film fared better internationally, grossing $296 million worldwide against a production budget of $111 million and received a nomination for Best Animated Feature at the 90th Academy Awards, as well as nominations at the 75th Golden Globe Awards for Best Animated Feature Film and Best Original Song ("Home").
