Ferdinand has been a world wide beloved character since the 1930's for his unique personality. Some call him a pacifist, others just call him lazy, but one thing is for certain: Ferdinand would rather sit quietly under a cork tree than horse around or bull fight like the other bulls. One day, the peaceful Ferdinand encounters a bee, and his reputation is changed forever.
