Ferdinand (Tom and Jerry: The Movie)

Ferdinand is a character from Tom and Jerry: The Movie, he is a fat dog who moves around on a skateboard and is the pet of Aunt Figg and serves as the movie's comic relief and minor antagonist.

He is voiced by Michael Bell.

Why He Gets no Cupcakes

 * 1) He is a perfect example of a poorly written comic relief, since he usually contributes to the film's slapstick instead of Tom and Jerry, but very poorly.
 * 2) Michael Bell does a pretty poor job voicing him and gives him an annoying voice.
 * 3) Every time he's on screen, he does something unfunny, annoying, or gross.
 * 4) He feels like a ripoff of Muttley from Wacky Races (since both are henchmen dogs that snicker a lot), Gollum from Lord of the Rings (since both have a similar voice), and Taz from Looney Tunes (since both are gluttonous), but without the charm and likability of said characters.
 * 5) He is also shown to be very greedy at times since he refuses to let Tom and Jerry have steak and has it for himself.
 * 6) He is also very destructive and accident-prone that he even makes other animal villains like Otis the Dog and Claude Cat look good in comparison.
 * 7) His laughing and growling are very annoying to listen to.
 * 8) He serves nothing to the film other than to get a cheap laugh from the audience, you can replace him with another animal henchman and nothing would change.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He along with all the other characters from Tom and Jerry: The Movie, never made anymore appearances in later Tom and Jerry media.
 * 2) His design is cute depending on how you view him.
 * 3) There were some moments where he can be funny at times such as when he hits the leg of a table after catching a cupcake.
