Ferdinand (2017)

Overview

Ferdinand, a little bull, prefers sitting quietly under a cork tree just smelling the flowers versus jumping around, snorting, and butting heads with other bulls. As Ferdinand grows big and strong, his temperament remains mellow. But one day five men come to choose the "biggest, fastest, roughest bull" for the bullfights in Madrid— and Ferdinand is mistakenly chosen.

Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Progressive

Primary

The film leans left due to its central critique of bullfighting as a cruel tradition, advocating for animal welfare, non-violence, and empathy over aggression and societal expectations.

The animated film 'Ferdinand' features a visibly diverse voice cast. Its narrative strongly critiques traditional masculine roles and cultural expectations by portraying a bull who rejects violence and embraces peace, directly challenging the aggressive nature of bullfighting.

Secondary

Ferdinand is an animated film centered on a bull who prefers flowers over fighting. The narrative focuses on themes of individuality, non-violence, and friendship, without including any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Therefore, the film has no net impact on LGBTQ+ portrayal.

The film "Ferdinand" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a bull's pacifism and his journey to avoid bullfighting, without exploring gender identity or related topics.

The animated film "Ferdinand" features female characters such as Lupe the goat and Nina. While Lupe is a spirited character, neither she nor any other female character engages in or wins direct physical combat against one or more male opponents through skill or strength.

The film is an adaptation of a children's book. All major characters, including Ferdinand and Nina, maintain their original genders from the source material. New characters introduced in the film do not constitute gender swaps.

The film's characters, primarily animals or humans in a Spanish setting, maintain racial and ethnic portrayals consistent with the original 1936 book. No established human character's race was altered from the source material.
