FERDINAND THE BULL
INTERESTING STORY. "The Story of Ferdinand" —the gentle young bull who preferred smelling flowers under a cork tree to a career in a bull-ring of Madrid —is the subject of a new Walt Disney film. This Walt Disney offering is in technicolour, and Ferdinand, the horses, the little bulls, and other characters will have animal personalities, with no roles to learn and no dialogue. Instead, a narrator will recite the story exactly as it is found in Munro Leaf’s book, and as far as possible the Disney artists have kept to the feeling of the Robert Lawson illustrations. The plot, in which a bee is responsible for Ferdinand being mistaken for a ferocious bull, so that he is despatched to the bull-ring forthwith, only to provide the matadors with one of the most unusual problems of their lives, is already well Known to thousands of readers.
