Synopsis

Ferdinand is a gentle bull who loves to sit under his favourite cork tree, peacefully smelling the flowers. Unlike the other bulls who enjoy running and butting heads, Ferdinand prefers a quiet life. One day, men come to select the fiercest bull for the bullfights in Madrid. Mistakenly believing Ferdinand is the bravest, they take him away. However, in the arena, Ferdinand stays true to himself, choosing peace over fighting, much to everyone's surprise.
