So while I was trying to get rid of my recent rediscovery of my coulrophobia (fear of clowns) with the recent "It" trailer, I came across "Blue Sky"s newest gem. "Ferdinand" will be the latest adaptation of the classic children's story "Ferdinand the Bull" written in 1936 by author Munro Leaf about a bull who rather than competing in matador fights, was kind hearted and wanted only to stop and smell the flowers. John Cena lends his voice to the gentle bull alongside the voice talents of Kate Mckinnon, David Tennant, and Daveed Diggs (Hamilton).
What surprised me the most from this short trailer was that unlike many of the more recent animations is comical without the use of crude humor that franchieses like "Despicable Me", "Boss Baby" , and "Smurfs" have given us lately. There were a couple of scenes that made me chuckle but it was due to comedic situations that flowed naturally from the characters.
If you find yourself looking for a movie other than "Disney" to take your family to see come December, I would say definitely look for this. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to watch this again to get Pennywise's creepy voice out of my head. #TheStruggleIsREEL!
