Good morning!

And welcome to Newsround.

I'm Hayley with all

today's top news.

First up, it stars John Cena,

one of the most famous WWE

superstars of all time,

and it's just been nominated for one

of the biggest movie

awards, a Golden Globe.

The animated film Ferdinand tells

the story of a giant

bull with a big heart.

Martin went to find out more.

ELECTRO DANCE MUSIC.

What was the experience

like for you?

It was great, it wasn't

difficult by any means.

It was fun to make.

The animators are so imaginative.

They have a child's imagination

which is brilliant.

You can create magic

if you never grow up.

So, it was fun to work

with those folks.

When you look at me, you think big.

You are ginormous.

I can't wait to show

you to the rest of the guys,

they're going to fertilise the yard.

John Cena is the voice of Ferdinand.

People would recognise him

from being a WWE wrestler.

Why was he perfect for the role?

When he did the voice of Ferdinand,

the minute he delivered the lines,

I knew he was Ferdinand.

Not because I was looking at this

big guy, like a big Ferdinand.

It was because he really felt it.

Can you help me out?

This is the beautiful horsey side

and that is the stinky bull side.

Have a nice day smelling terrible.

High hoof!

Scottish people are very proud

of the fact, you know

where I'm going to go

with this, don't you?

It's about Angus, the bull.

OK, we are going to have many bulls

and they all had to look different.

We saw this bull with a lot of hair

on their faces and big

horns, that is the bull!

where do they come from?

Scotland.

That's it.

David Tennant, it is.

Have you tried a Scottish accent?

I'm no good.

SCOTTISH ACCENT:

I've tried,

I can do it a wee bit.

That's not bad.

It's better than some Scottish

people I know, John.

GRUNTING.

What message do you think Ferdinand

gives to young kids out there?

Ah, just be happy with who you are.

If you are passionate

about something that

everyone else thinks

is uncool, who cares?

Follow your passion and be

proud of who you are.

It's OK you may like different

things because we're all different.

Now, I imagine loads

of you will have

decorated your houses for Christmas

with trees and lights

and all sorts of sparkly bits!

But did you ever wonder

how tinsel is made?

Well, we went to find out.

Hi, Newsround, welcome

to the factory where

it is Christmas every day.

This is Festive Productions,

the biggest tinsel factory in the

UK.

We make 12 million metres

of tinsel every single year.

That is enough to wrap

all the way around

the moon and you'll still have

two million metres leftover.

Phew.

Right, let's see how tinsel is made.

First off, let's choose the colours.

Let's make some Newsround-coloured

tinsel. Next, we load the machines

with the reels, and switch it on.

The machine cuts the foil up

to make it nice and frilly.

Then, we add some wire

to make it stronger.

That happens down in there.

Finally, it goes down

to the tub where it's all

spun together like a

candy floss machine.

The machine stops,

and your tinsel is ready.

Here it is.

Newsround tinsel.

Now, you might remember, yesterday

you were sending in your brilliant

snow pictures.

But check this one out.

Why build a snowman

when an igloo is so much better?

It took Benjamin Crutch

from Redditch eight hours to make

the igloo, using 500 snow bricks.

He built it in the garden,

and it looks like everybody

enjoyed it - even the dog.

That's it from me.

Newsround's back

in about half-an-hour

with some big moon news.

Don't miss it.

of the day's stories.
