Ferdinand is a gentle Spanish bull who would rather smell flowers in his meadow than fight in bullfights like the other bulls. When he accidentally sits on a bee, his dramatic reaction makes men think he's the fiercest bull in the land. Taken to Madrid for a bullfight, Ferdinand refuses to fight, choosing instead to sit quietly and enjoy the flowers in the ladies' hair. This classic story celebrates being true to yourself and shows that kindness and peace can be more powerful than aggression.
