Reviews

Variety - Peter Debruge
In what’s been an underwhelming year for big-studio animation, it’s the best of the bunch: sincere, likable, surprisingly funny, and overall true to its source material.
75
TheWrap - Alonso Duralde
If you can get through the excess of characters, and the requisite butt jokes, car chase and tween pop songs, the film does keep both the physical and the verbal comedy coming at a steady pace.
75
Chicago Sun-Times - Bill Zwecker
Along with charming animated visuals, spot-on voice talent and nicely paced direction, Ferdinand incorporates themes that are very relevant and much-needed for our time.
63
Movie Nation - Roger Moore
The extraordinary third act arrives, and the movie finds its heart and its message.
63
The Seattle Times - Soren Andersen
The humor is broad and obvious (yes, Ferdinand winds up in a china shop, with predictable results), but there are a number of scenes that hit the mark.
