Ferdinand (out Dec 14) is based on the children’s book first published in 1936 and follows Ferdinand - a talking Spanish bull (voiced by John Cena) who is trying to “buck” convention and make a better life for himself. Aside from Ferdinand the Bull and Lupe the Goat, none of the characters offer much in the way of interest. Grade: B-.
