About This Movie

Ferdinand the Bull is a 1938 animation and comedy film directed by Dick Rickard. Its leading cast includes Milt Kahl, Don Wilson and Walt Disney. It runs for 8 minutes.

Synopsis

This Oscar-winning short tells of a bull who preferred to sit under trees and smell flowers to clashing horns with his fellow animals. As luck would have it, an untimely bee reveals Ferdinand's ferocious side via pained howls and wild stomping. This lands him in the bull-fighting arena amidst characters based on Walt's animators with a matador reportedly modeled after Walt himself.
