Line 1: {{work}} A mildly obscure movie, animated in Denmark in [[The Eighties\|1984]], ''[['''Samson and Sally]]''''' is a [[Coming of Age Story]] centering around a young white whale named Samson. He and his herd live their lives in the Arctic Ocean, eating [[Everything's Squishier ~~With~~with Cephalopods\|octopuses]], hiding from the Iron Beasts (whaling ships) who hunt them, and dealing with the destruction that [[Humans Are ~~Bastards~~the Real Monsters\|mankind]] wreaks on their ocean. Shortly after a run-in with one Iron Beast, the herd comes across an orphaned whale named Sally, who they take in. The two young whales grow closer, eventually leading to a [["Falling in Love" Montage]]. Shortly afterwards, Samson leaves the herd to search for his hero, the legendary white whale, [[Moby Dick]]. {{tropelist}} * {{spoiler\|[[After the End]]: It's implied throughout the movie that mankind is on its last leg and has stopped trying to protect the environment.}} * [[Angst? What Angst?]]: Sally watched her parents die, as well as some of her friends, but she seems none the worse for wear. This could arguably apply to {{spoiler\|Sampson.}} * [[All Myths Are True]]: Though they might not be quite how they're described. {{spoiler\|Moby Dick is an old, decrepit whale, living in Atlantis, which is apparently a sunken New York City.}} * [[Babies Ever After]]: The last scene of the movie shows adult Samson and Sally defending their baby from killer whales. * [[Badass Boast]]: Sampson claims to be able to destroy an iron beast with a single strike from his tail. * [[~~Big~~Non ~~Lipped~~Sequitur ~~Alligator Moment~~Scene\|Big Dancing Walrus Moment]]: A pair of walruses put on a dance routine around a broken down oilrig, and end up getting [[Fridge Horror\|radiation sickness]]. Never mentioned ''ever'' again. ** Weirdly enough, considering the tone of the movie, doubles as an [[Ear Worm]] * [[Bittersweet Ending]] * [[Coming of Age Story]] * [[Does Not Like Spam]]: Initially, Samson hates eating octopuses. It ends up being a phase, though. * [["Falling in Love" Montage]] * [[Green Aesop]]: It's pretty apparent. Along with the usual 'save the whales' aesop, we get one about the environment. * [[Humans Are ~~Bastards~~the Real Monsters]]: Over the movie, the whales have to deal with two oil spills, radiation dumping, and whalers. * [[Humans Are Cthulhu]]: They're also one of the only things that can kill a whale. * [[Humans Are Morons]]: As said by {{spoiler\|Moby Dick}}, "Mankind is not vicious, mankind is stupid!" * [[Let's Meet the Meat]]: During the ~~[[BLAM~~Non Sequitur Scene]], one of the walruses comes across a can of sardines, who dance down his arm and dive into his mouth. * [[Mood Whiplash]]: {{spoiler\|Samsom's mother death is juxtaposed directly with Samson and Sally's [["Falling in Love" Montage]].}} * [[No Name Given]]: Samson, Sally, and Moby Dick are the only characters whose names are mentioned. * [[Parental Abandonment]]: Both of Sally's parents are dead before the movie begins, {{spoiler\|and Samson's mother dies in the movie.}} Line 32: [[Category:Films of the 1980s]] [[Category:Samson and Sally]] [[Category:Western Animation of the 1980s]] [[Category:Western Animation]] [[Category:Film]]
