The kid in me loves a good animated film. Although not all
animated features appeal to me, this one definitely did, it also didn't hurt
that my kid was also more than excited about this one too. What appealed
to me about this film was the cute story and John Cena cast as the bull. I
found the casting for this character very fitting and was more than interested
to see how Cena would do (although I felt he would be great). I had little
doubt my kid and I would enjoy this one.
I was quite surprised the theater
had more adults filling the seats than kids. There were actually adult couples
checking out the film together. I guess they were fans of the book, which the
movie was based...lol. This was definitely a movie that can be enjoyed by all
ages, a fun family movie. John Cena was the perfect person to voice Ferdinand,
and Kate Mckinnon was voicing Lupe the goat. The movie has a number of
interesting characters, but these two were definitely my favorite. The
animation wasn't anything out of the box, but was still beautiful and enough to
keep the audience's attention.
Unfortunately this film opened
the same weekend as the latest Star Wars film, so it did not get the shine it
actually deserved. This film is based on a children's book, which I never read,
but I am now going to purchase for my kid's book collection (he loves books).
If you are looking for a movie this coming holiday weekend to check with the
family, I would recommend Ferdinand, or of course Coco...lol...B+
