A giant, gentle bull prefers flowers to fighting, but a misunderstanding sends him to the bullring.

Uplifting, with wholesome humor. A family watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.

What is Ferdinand about?

Ferdinand, a little bull, prefers sitting quietly under a cork tree just smelling the flowers versus jumping around, snorting, and butting heads with other bulls. As Ferdinand grows big and strong, his temperament remains mellow. But one day five men come to choose the "biggest, fastest, roughest bull" for the bullfights in Madrid— and Ferdinand is mistakenly chosen.

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)

Yes. It lands on a happy note.
