Though the company could be forgiven for making Ice Age sequels until the next epoch, Blue Sky Studios has other films in mind. And now Rio director Carlos Saldanha is ready to unleash Ferdinand via the first trailer.
Inspired by the 1936 children's book The Story Of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf and Robert Lawson, the film introduces us to Ferdinand (voiced by John Cena), a giant bull with an even bigger heart. Rather than getting in the bullfighting ring, he's happy to spend time making friends and smelling flowers. But when he's mistaken for a dangerous beast, he's captured and taken from his home. To get back, he'll need help from a misfit team and more courage than he's used to summoning.
The voice cast for this one also includes Kate McKinnon, David Tennant, Sally Phillips and Gina Rodriguez, and the movie will be out on 15 December. Which means going up against Star Wars: The Last Jedi. That's one brave bull...
