Ferdinand Gets a Trailer

The first trailer for a new animated adaptation of Leaf Munro‘s 1936 classic The Story of Ferdinand made its “exclusive” debut on the Today Show this morning. It opens on December 15. CORRECTION: As Donna points out in the comments, we transposed the author’s first and last names.

A tie-in has not been announced.

The original is still available in both hardcover and paperback (Penguin Young Readers/Puffin).

A Board Book edition is coming in August.

The author is Munro Leaf, not Leaf Munro :)

Thanks for pointing that out, I should know better having grown up on Mr. Leaf’s MANNERS CAN BE FUN. Must have missed the part about getting people’s names right. He would have been proud of you for pointing the error out so nicely, although he may not have been familiar with the smiley face.
