''[[El Arca]]'' is an 2007 animated film from by Patagonik Animation retelling the story of Noah's Ark. God feels like his book isn't interesting enough compared to Buddhist and Confucian books, so he decides to flood the world in order to create a more compelling story. Two separate storylines run in the film, one focusing on Noah and one on the animals. (It's worth noting that nearly all the animals in the film are anthropomorphic.)
A letter gets sent out to all the animals saying that a pair will be needed to come on the ark in order to survive the flood. The lion prince Xiro volunteers to go after reading half of a torn letter, and picks Bruma, a lioness with vaguely referenced past indiscretions, over Kairel, an [[Hollywood Pudgy|apparently]] fat lioness who helps plan the ark from the animal's side.
Line 11:
The film is notable for having a rather non-religious interpretation of Noah's Ark, and for being incredibly raunchy and loaded with references to sex.

* [[All Animation Is Disney]]: Technically, Patagonik is part of Buena Vista, which is Disney's global distribution company. In a roundabout way, it is a Disney film.
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Bruma
Line 18:
* [[Carnivore Confusion]]: Even the humans threaten to eat some of the animals (even the elephant) late in the film.
* [[Cats Are Mean]]: While the lion characters subvert this, Panty, Dagnio, and Bruma play this straight.
* [[Chocolate Baby]]: One of Noah's sons is black even though him and his wife are white.▼
** May a reference to a (deservedly) often-forgotten part of the story of Noah, where, after he settled down once the flood was over, he got drunk and fell into a naked stupor. His son, Ham, father of Canaan, saw the state Noah had made of himself and told his brothers so they could cover him up. When Noah woke up, he cursed Canaan and drove him away from the rest of the family, proclaiming that Canaan and all his descendents would forever after be slaves to the other descendents of Noah. Though not stated outright in the Bible, it's a common belief that Canaan and his descendents were "marked" by this curse by being given ''black skin''. Certainly, that was the most common excuse used when Christians began enslaving Africans and similar dark-skinned races; their skin meant they were "children of Canaan" and thusly "rightfully slaves".▼
*** Or it maay be a reference to the part of the story where the entire future genome of the human race comes from Noah's sons and their wives. The words Semitic, Hamatic, and Japethic come from this origin.▼
* [[Disney Death]]: {{spoiler|Bruma is seen in the afterlife for a few seconds}}
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: "''The door to my heart, and room, are wide open.''"
* [[
* [[Family
* [[Feathered Fiend]]: There is a vulture in Dagnio's gang.
* [[Fluffy Cloud Heaven]]
Line 31 ⟶ 28:
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: The radar in question being Disney, apparently, who surely understood that this kind of movie would be acceptable in its native country and parts of Europe, but that doesn't explain why they made an English dub.
* [[God]]: God appears as a big, [[Darkskinned Blonde|blond, black]] man with slanted blue eyes.
* [[God Is Evil]]: If you actually apply logic as to his reasons why he flooded the Earth. He did it because he thought it would make [[The Bible
* [[Go Seduce My Arch
* [[Hartman Hips]] / [[Hourglass Hottie]]: ''All'' the females in this movie, with Kairel taking the cake.
* [[Hello, Nurse!]]: Panty has gained this reaction even from those not part of the [[Furry Fandom]].

* [[Misplaced Wildlife]]: In the beginning we see polar bears, who [[Lampshaded|complain about the jungle heat]]. {{spoiler|Later on they and a few other artic animals are dropped off at the North Pole.}}
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: Bombay, Xiro's assistant. He wears a lavender hankerchef around his neck, has a falseletto voice, and is the only one on the boat who has a lavishly decorated room in pastels. Then, you see his female mate...who has a deep voice and looks very masculine.
Line 44:
* [[Talking Animal]]: Obviously, but only among themselves. They are forbidden to talk to humans by an unnamed law.
* [[Toilet Humor]]: A few scenes, most notably at least two [[Nausea Fuel|detailed shots of a massive pile of animal crap]]. Really.
* [[Two Lines, No Waiting]]: The two storylines rarely intersect, if only briefly and indirectly.
* [[You Are Fat]]: From Bruma to Kairel in her only appearance before getting crushed by a hippo:
