By the horns

Ferdinand the Bull (1938)

Directed by Dick Rickard this film based on the story by Munro Leaf is narrated by Don Wilson. Finding himself to be of a more gentle disposition than his peers a bull looks for a peaceful life.

Taking a simple story this is a decent adaptation from Walt Disney. Winning the Oscar for best animated short clearly this was one of the best films of it's period but I would not say it is overly remarkable. Both the animation and story are good but maybe a few more jokes would have helped.


3/5
