He's a lover, not a fighter.

I just love how the mother's cowbell goes along with the music.

"Even though she was a cow. " Ferdinand's mom: *Whatchu say?*

He's nothing but a big sweetheart

Apparently this cartoon is especially popular in Sweden and has been part of a regular Christmas special that's aired since 1959. The one year they didn't air it, public outcry insured they never made that mistake again.

all the other bull wanted most of all to be butcherd with spears and swords in madrid. but not ferdinand

2:28 that man in the front has seen some things

" His mother, who was a cow " *N I G G A Y O U D O N T S A Y*

A bunch more of bulls auditioning to be killed in an arena for public entertainment. *BUT NOT FERDINAND*

The men entering the ring at 4:09 are supposed to be various Disney artists , in fact, the matador is supposed to be Walt Disney Himself while the guy behind Him is supposed to be animator Ward Kimball.

The voice acting is incredible! It's very emotional and paced so well. It matches what is happening visually like when the matador was crying

Bless this book for providing exactly what I wanted to read to my child. All children should learn to be themselves and not be afraid of being thought cowards if that means loving peace and a gentle existence. Isn't it surprising how little this cartoon has dated? A masterpiece!

Ferdinand knows what's truly important in life. you go Ferdinand!

This won an Academy Award for Best Animated Short. It beat out three other Disney films, including the Silly Symphony _Mother Goose Goes Hollywood,_ Mickey Mouse in _Brave Little Tailor,_ and Donald Duck and his nephews in _Good Scouts._ Also, the matador is modeled after Walt Disney. I guess the animators were being a little cheeky.

I know that Ferdinand doesn't like to be Violent because He's Special.

The scene with Ferdinand and his mom talking together was actually Walt Disney as the mother cow and legendary animator Milt Kahl as Ferdinand

I only just found out that Walt voiced Ferdinand’s mom lol

disney:how dare you steal ferdinand from us,fight me blue sky blue sky: (keeps quiet and smells the money) disney: i'll show you,i'll buy you, I buy everything!!!

This won the 1938 Academy Award for best, animate, short film in the first short that wasn’t a Silly Symphony to win

See, no feature length movie was needed! This was perfect all on it's own!

I remember being a military brat and my parents took me and my sis to an authentic bull fight when we moved to Spain.. when me and my sis seen what real bull fighting was we didn’t like it. Til this day I feel it’s cruel , but I’m not from the culture so I could just be bias.

Cartoons these days could never be this good

HE IS VERY HAPPY.🐂💐🌼

Ferninand getting high off of nature. Nice.👌

I didn't know Blue Sky's Ferdinand was based on an actual old cartoon

Happy 80th anniversary Ferdinand!

Probably the moral of the story is that you can’t judge of how animals are born tamed. Animals who are born deserve to live.

The original book was great. I remember seeing this "movie short" when I was younger......although that was when it was already 30 plus years old. Just hearing the name "Ferdinand" instantly brings to my mind a mental picture of him under the cork tree sniffing flowers. I can't even begin to recall how many times it was read to me by my parents, or I read it to myself or to my brother, or I read it to my kids. The new movie is really cute and it brings the story off the page for a new, younger generation. The voices are well selected and the music is good. I recommend having the kids see all three versions: watch the original movie short and read the book and then see the new movie. Talk to them, have them compare the new and the old. Yow will probably be surprised by what they notice! (And having grown up where crossing the pasture made for a 20-25 minute short cut when I wanted to get to the local mini-market was a reality, I was always well aware that a bull can move fast - size is deceptive! You never attempted the crossing unless he was on the other side of a really big pasture and the wind was not in his favor. And you made darn sure he could not smell you or hear you! No wonder we all ran track in junior high and high school!)

5:55 "Ahhhhhh FUCK!"

One of my favorite stories as a kid

This is the real Ferdinand!!!

*But not F E R D I N A N D*

I used to watch this with my grandpa growing up, watching Ferdinand were some of my fondest memories, I miss him everyday.

Hey - just realized a visual joke at 1:51! Narrator earlier said Ferdinand sits under a cork tree, well look at all those wine corks hanging there! LOL! Except that in real life the corks are made from the bark of the tree itself, they don't grow like that :)

This is aired every christmas in Sweden. Dubbed in Swedish of course.

These cartoons ❤ just take me back in time

That's ok Ferdinand if I sat on a bee I'd have the same reaction. You aren't alone.

Once upon a time it was socially acceptable for a man to compliment another man to others about his good looks, without being thought a social aberration or a homosexual... That having been said, Ferdinand's individual frame for this thumbnail is only color ink; only an animation character of course. But in his own way, he's an attractive fellow, isn't he? What lady cow could resist a gentle giant like him 😎 ? "Ferdinand would just sit quietly under the cork tree & smell the flowers" = "May cooler heads & warmer hearts prevail, always" ~Words of the eternal gentle soul; the peacemaker

The best version of Ferdinand!

So glad Ferdinand was in Once Upon a Studio.

At least this Ferdinand thing doesn't have Hedgehogs doing La Macarena. Thanks a lot, Sonic Twitter Takeover 3 with Sonic, Eggman and Shadow!

I'd probably purchase the Blu-ray Disc release of the 2017 animated movie

5:58 Can someone make a webm for these "very ugly faces". It's comedy gold!

It's such a deep film, cause it talks about the power of choice, even though you were born a certain way, even though you had a violent family, for example.

They shoupd make cute classic like this again . The art style is so much more alive then the computer animatioms

The thing I find interesting is if you humanize the bulls, they're little boys who like to play rough. But Ferdinand would be the exception; he's the sensitive little boy that the adults wonder about (i.e. whether or not he's gay)

Elliot Smith had a really cool Ferdinand tattoo.

He's a bull that likes to chill out and smoke that flower haha

Ferdinand is quite sensible. He has no use for all that fighting. He also loves flowers 🌷

I just saw the new movie (which I enjoyed greatly!) and now I’m watching this. I remember reading Ferdinand as a child and I adore everything about the story.

Until one day, Ferdinand got a sinus infection and could no longer smell the flowers... :’(

I can't wait for the new movie to come out! But I love this cute classic disney version ♡♡

Una obra maestra

He lit

How the hell did they stretch this into two hours?

So cute!!!!Now my favorite Disney character

Ferdinand doesn’t want to get killed like his papa did in the bull ring.

When someone throws a hissy fit at you, smell flowers

In real life, Ferdinand wouldn't have left alife. That's why this marvellous film makes me cry . 😔

“He is very happy.” *SO. VERY. HAPPY. 😈*

Fez parte da minha infância, só tenho a agradecer

Ohhh the “she’s just a cow” and the mother cow looks irritated when he says it, seems the joke is woman don’t like being called cows

It was adapted more than 80 years later into a Blue Sky Studios production.

So they used to picture Spain like Mexico… incredible mr. Walt.

I wish my dog would be so peaceful

Taurus toque Bull!!love it,El Toro Ferocio

I love Ferdinand I love how he’s ok with being different and he doesn’t care what others think of him. Also he’s a lover not a fighter. Also to if I was a Cattle Farmer and looking for a bull to mate with my cows I would choose him

The bowling moment was brilliant, though.

Mereu mi-a plăcut acest desen animat!❤

Merry Christmas from sweden

Thanks for the video.

6:50 my favourite scene

The men look like there on crack

Ferdinand is an icon for introverts😁

That was the astounding Oscar winning short 🎥 that inspired the Academy Award nominated feature 🎥 starring John Cena and Kate McKinnon and the reason why Disney purchase Fox and made it become part of the Disney family!!! It's truly a wonderful miracle to behold!!!!😄😄😄😄

Ferdinand would go on to be a 16 time champ. The champ is here.

Just one short like this can make a movie is a wonderful

Watching this cartoon is part of Swedish Christmas Tradition, and has been for decades.

I have read this to my kids a hundred times.

lim de mon enfance une merveille

So sweet and unforgettable. 💕👑🌟👶

I wish Ferdinand the bull from the Disney’s 1938 short, Bongo the circus bear and his girl bear lulubelle from fun & fancy free were in disneyland paris ¿right?

2:32-Sportafakes; they’re all his Spanish cousins

The animation of the calves playing was reused in Fun and Fancy Free.

Love, Love, Love 💗💗💗

This 🎞 is a rip snortingly good. I read the story aloud to some 👧🏻a and their mom. In fact, a 👧🏻 mooed like a 🐄 and I snorted like a bull. She engaged with me in October 2019.

❤❤❤en av mina favoriter nu och på julafton 2024 ❤❤❤❤kram pia

I just noticed most of the ladies look like Snow White and it’s pretty scary. Also, at 6:49 why does the guy speaking decide that because he’s the narrator and the matador he can just be lazy and say it all in one line? Literally it’s like the narrator is crying too. I could have done the better in one line too.

2:29 guy in the front has seen some shit

6:43 When she licks the tip instead of going for the succ

Well it’s a good thing he didn’t smash the flowers then it would’ve been a different story.

This is sooooo old and the voice AAAAHHHHH

2:29 they are all walking like Vince McMahon

After 80 years.......too long!

This was made in 1938

I think the narrator is also the voice of the mother cow✨🐮 impressive

This is way better than the blue sky adaptation you know

The mother cow was so very insulted being named "a cow" :-D Also, the event's promotion claims that they will have Matadores, Picadores, and "Hot Dogos" :-) Hahaha !

He's a Taurus.

The John Cena Ferdinand did fantastic job.
