About

You can stream Ferdinand the Bull (1938) on Disney+ with a subscription.

This Oscar-winning short tells of a bull who preferred to sit under trees and smell flowers to clashing horns with his fellow animals. As luck would have it, an untimely bee reveals Ferdinand's ferocious side via pained howls and wild stomping. This lands him in the bull-fighting arena amidst characters based on Walt's animators with a matador reportedly modeled after Walt himself.

Ferdinand would much rather inhale the scent of wildflowers than engage in the violent traditions of his herd. This gentle giant's peaceful existence unravels when a single bee sting triggers a frantic, misunderstood rampage through a crowded arena.
