John Cena takes the bull by the horns as the voice of Ferdinand the bull in Blue Sky Studios' (Ice Age) animated family film, Ferdinand. John Cena knows a thing or two about performing in the ring so the tough-looking guy was a perfect match to play kind-hearted bull who wants to smell the flowers instead of being in the bull fighting ring. The WWE wrestler and actor talked to CineMovie about his animated role, and his next role in the Transformers spinoff, Bumblebee.

Kate McKinnon can play anything, even an animated goat! The Saturday Night Live star opened up to E! News about her busy year of working that included her newest role as a calming goat opposite John Cena in Blue Sky's Ferdinand. The Hollywood stars lent their voices to the classic tale of Ferdinand the bull who only wants to smell the flowers rather than fighting. Kate is mostly famous for her six years as a cast member of the iconic, late night comedy show Saturday Night Live, where she plays everyone from Hillary Clinton to Justin Bieber.

John Cena may look intimidating, but he couldn't be more of a softie.
The 40-year-old actor graces the cover of Parade's latest issue, and inside the magazine, he reveals that he wasn't always as tough as he appears to be.
"I got my a** kicked every day," Cena recalls of his childhood, when he said he used to dress like "Mc Hammer and Kid 'n Play on a collision course." "[I had my] hair stuck straight up, dyed at the top...I had the rayon pants -- mustard polka dot -- and the airbrushed overalls."
So, the WWE star got beat up -- but he's definitely not crying about it. "It kinda made me who I am," he confesses, revealing that after one fight in particular, he begged his dad to "buy me a set of weights" -- and has been building muscle ever since.

To coincide with Learning Disabilities, Dyslexia and Adhd Awareness Month this October, Understood.org and the Ad Council announced today the release of a new public service advertisement (PSA) featuring voice talent and characters from the upcoming 20th Century Fox animated movie, “Ferdinand.”
Video: Don't Judge a Bull by His Cover (:30) | Learning & Attention Issues | Ad Council
The TV PSA, narrated by John Cena (voice actor of Ferdinand the bull).
In the film, Ferdinand is mistakenly believed to be a dangerous beast and fighter because of his size. The film’s theme, “don’t judge a bull by his cover”, also reflects the mission of the October #BeUnderstood campaign from Understood and the Ad Council. Learning and attention issues, like dyslexia and Adhd, are often mistaken for laziness or unintelligence. Although these issues may not be as visible as others, they are real and common, impacting 1 in 5 kids. With early identification and support,...

John Cena as Ferdinand the Bull. Hm. It could work. He’s been a voice actor in the past already and in some cases it kind of seems like he might be looking for a way to transition into something else when the wrestling gig finally takes its toll on him. He’s actually been talking about retirement for a little while now and maybe it’s getting close to time. As fake as it is wrestling is still a lot higher impact than acting, and maybe Cena might need a little bit of a break finally. As someone that’s expected to fight

"Don't judge a bull by its cover." 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios have debuted yet another trailer, the third official trailer, for the animated film Ferdinand, about a bull raised by a family in Spain and taken to be a fighter, who really prefers to smell flowers instead of battle against matadors. This trailer is all about the cast and the announcement that Nick Jonas has recorded a song for the film. John Cena voices Ferdinand the bull, which might be one of the best voice choices all year. The rest of the voice cast includes Kate McKinnon, Gina Rodriguez, Daveed Diggs, Gabriel Iglesias, Bobby Cannavale, David Tennant, Anthony Anderson, Flula Borg, Jerrod Carmichael, Boris Kodjoe, and Raúl Esparza. This does look quite charming and most of all, it seems to have an important message we can all learn from. Here's the third official trailer (+ poster) for Carlos Saldanha's Ferdinand,...

Lena Dunham has added to her tattoo collection, revealing two new designs on her Instagram Stories on Friday.
“Been tatting myself up like crazy this month,” the Girls co-creator and star, 31, captioned the first photo of her upper thigh, which revealed two designs: a blooming rose and Kewpie dolls, baby cupid characters that appeared in comic strips in the early 20th century.
Her next image zoomed in on the Kewpies, which surround a bucket, one doll appearing to tote a pail labelled “tears.” She wrote that the tattoo has been on her for “a few weeks.”

If anybody knows what it feels like to be a powerful giant gently maneuvering their way through a fragile world full of highly breakable people, it would be John Cena. So the actor/wrestler/human mountain comes off as a pretty perfect fit in the new trailer for Ferdinand, the latest 3D animated feature from Ice Age and Rio creators Blue Sky Studios.
Based on Munro Leaf’s 1936 children’s book Ferdinand The Bull—which previously got an Oscar-winning animated adaptation in 1938, courtesy of Disney—the film sees Cena as Ferdinand, a massive bull who just wants to lie back and smell the flowers. Of course, because this is a modern kids’ cartoon, it’s not long before he’s accosted by a number of colorful sidekicks—most notably, a goat played by Kate McKinnon—who try to rope him into various schemes and assault him with kid-friendly ...

The first 21 Jump Street reboot movie didn’t just safely navigate the traps and pot holes of cheesy TV adaptations — it made the exercise a breezy art. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum’s odd-couple pairing as two narc cops going undercover at a high school snuck up on critics — a luxury they don’t have at their disposal in the sequel.
But that doesn’t seem to be stopping director Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (The Lego Movie) from doubling down on the same comic sensibility. The only thing that’s changed for 22 Jump Street is the setting — college — and...

Director Carlos Saldanha has been one of the principal creative forces at Blue Sky Studios since 1993. Saldanha was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and left his hometown in 1991 to follow his artistic instinct and passion for animation. With a background in computer science and a natural artistic sensibility, he found New York City the perfect locale to merge these skills and become an animator.
After the success of “Ice Age,” which got nominated for an Oscar in 2003, Saldanha took the directorial reins on “Ice Age: The Meltdown” (2006), the third computer-animated feature film from Twentieth Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios, which was the most profitable animated movie of the year. Next came the even more successful “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs,” which became one of biggest grossing animated films of all time, grossing over $887 million worldwide.

"Bullhead," the Austin-based Drafthouse Films' surprise Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Language film, is a strange beast indeed. What begins as a story about meat-dealing mobsters and cow hormones turns into a much more intense, intimate tale about one man's painful past coming back in terrible and surprising ways.
Jacky (Matthias Schoenaerts) is jacked up on steroids 24/7, and although at first glance he seems like a Belgian Ferdinand the Bull, it soon becomes clear that there's something very off about him. The 'roids are roiling inside him along with a dark secret that has him unsure about his place in the world; he's a wounded soul trapped in the bulky body of a man-made monster. When a new client wants in on Jacky's equally hormone-inflated cattle, he knows something is amiss -- especially given the appearance of an old friend as part of the mobster's crew.
Although the story is technically about crime and cows,...

If you can't stomach Sandra Bullock's Oscar-winning turn as the mother of all do-gooders try this condensed version of the film
The Blind SIDEBy Paul MacInnes, with apologies to John Lee Hancock
Scene 1
Ext. A rainy night in Memphis, Tennessee. Sandra Bullock and her family, country singer husband Tim McGraw and sickeningly precocious son Sj are driving home after a wonderful night at Taco Bell. Bullock, dressed in cream pantsuit, cream hair and cream face is at the wheel of her cream SUV, sipping from a carton of cream. She has, as always, a can-do, up-and-at-em, don't-mess-with-the-best-cos-the-best-don't-mess face on.
Sandra Bullock: Hey honey, you know how southern Republicans get a hard time in the elite liberal media?
Tim McGraw: Yes, honey
