Get ready to “Bullieve” as 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios released the first trailerfor their upcoming animated film Ferdinand. View trailer below.

FERDINAND tells the story of a giant bull with a big heart. After being mistaken for a dangerous beast, he is captured and torn from his home. Determined to return to his family, he rallies a misfit team on the ultimate adventure. Set in Spain, Ferdinand proves you can’t judge a bull by its cover.

Hmmm…..very interesting trailer for a movie. Like many, I remember reading the classic children’s book “The Story of Ferdinand” by Munro Leaf many times in my youth, so I was kind of “pleasantly” surprised to see it being transformed into a full length animated kids flick (kind of didn’t expect that). As for the movie itself (from my assumptions from this teaser trailer), it looks good. Yes, it probably won’t beat out something like Zootopia or Moana, but it looks like it has its own charm. At least, Blue Sky Studios is trying something different rather than making another Ice Age movie. Plus, I like the fact that John Cena is doing the voice of Ferdinand (it certainly fits). My only problem I see with this movie is when its being released, opening up against Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. Hopefully it does do good its opening weekend.

Ferdinand  is set to be released in theaters on December 15th, 2017
