Ferdinand Voices John Cena, Peyton Manning. Director Carlos Saldanha.
A pro wrestler and an American football player walk into a voice-recording suite and deliver vocal performances so sweet and touching that you question their previous careers. Ferdinand tells the story of a young bovine who runs away after discovering his fate is to end his life in the bullring. Charming and poignant, Cena voices the adult Ferdinand with just the right mix of masculinity and sweetness while Manning is a winner as his brashly anxious bull friend Guapo. It is from the studio behind Rio and Ice Age and while you will see better animation, it is hard to rival it for sheer heart.
