Ferdinand was a character who was going to appear in the 1977 Disney film, Pete's Dragon. He was to appear as Dr. Terminus' showman sidekick and sing the deleted song "The Greatest Star Of All" where he wanted to take Elliott on a tour, but for the final cut, he was deleted due to the script being too redundant to have two villains.

Development[]

According to the song "The Greatest Star Of All", Ferdinand was originally going to devise a plan for Dr. Terminus by singing to him to have Elliott as a celebrity. However, artist Ken Anderson advised the team that the film's script should not have more than one villain in the film, causing both Ferdinand and the song to be deleted in the final version. The song still can be found in the 2009 DVD edition of Pete's Dragon in the Original Demo Recordings section of the film.[1]
