I just love how the mother's cowbell goes along with the music.

Apparently this cartoon is especially popular in Sweden and has been part of a regular Christmas special that's aired since 1959. The one year they didn't air it, public outcry insured they never made that mistake again.

He's nothing but a big sweetheart

[Ccocakola]

I want parents as accepting as his mother

[bluueeberries]

"Even though she was a cow. "

Ferdinand's mom: *Whatchu say?*

[moragmckay]

Bless this book for providing exactly what I wanted to read to my child. All children should learn to be themselves and not be afraid of being thought cowards if that means loving peace and a gentle existence. Isn't it surprising how little this cartoon has dated? A masterpiece!

The scene with Ferdinand and his mom talking together was actually Walt Disney as the mother cow and legendary animator Milt Kahl as Ferdinand

[confusedbear]

The voice acting is incredible! It's very emotional and paced so well. It matches what is happening visually like when the matador was crying

[Breathless]

Fun fact: Walt Disney is the one who voiced Ferdinand's mother.

[alinavaysfligel]

Ferdinand knows what's truly important in life. you go Ferdinand!

[sweetReaper]

I only just found out that Walt voiced Ferdinand’s mom lol

[janicekuharski]

Classic Disney. Created for kids but adults will find more.

[spencermccarthy]

I know that Ferdinand doesn't like to be Violent because He's Special.

[stevepaul]

The men entering the ring at 4:09 are supposed to be various Disney artists, in fact, the matador is supposed to be Walt Disney Himself while the guy behind Him is supposed to be animator Ward Kimball.

Ferdinand’s the only fricken smart bull... the others wanted to fight? Do they realize what actually happens to bulls in bull fights? Yeah they DIE 😑 Ferdinand didn’t ask for that crap. Deep down he knew...
