I never heard of Ferdinand as a book. So I guess it wasn't that well known if so far no one knew about it growing up and it is supposedly a childhood tale.
The movie is based on the booked called, " The Story of Ferdinand," written by Munro Leaf of Maryland. It was published in 1936. In 1938, Life magazine called Ferdinand "the greatest juvenile classic since Winnie the Pooh." The book has been translated into more than 60 foreign languages, and, at least as of 2002, has never been out of print. In 1938, apparently Disney made a short animated film based off the book called, " Ferdinand the bull." It ran over 7 minutes long and won and Academy Award. Disney also made a follow up book to the film. Since we've had all this chatter if anyone remembers the book, I have sense read it, and can firmly say, I never remember this story from my childhood. So for being a classic storybook, it seems very few of us know about it.

1st Episode of New Girls Und Panzer dominates Japanese Box Office!The official blog for the Girls und Panzer anime franchise has reported the opening weekend box office result for the first episode of the six-part OVA series Girls und Panzer das Finale. The 42-minute film was released in select 59 theaters across Japan on December 9 and earned an impressive 145,981,740 yen from the 118,798 ticket sales in its first Saturday and Sunday, which was 113.6% of the first weekend gross (128,438,980 yen from 77 theaters) of the franchise's mega hit film in 2015, Girls und Panzer der Film. Despite of its cheaper ticket price of 1,200 yen (a regular adult ticket price for a film in Japan is 1,800 yen), its per-screen average was also an amazing 2,474,266 yen. Thanks to the very good opening result, 28 more theaters are scheduled to be added from January 20, 2018.
