Dexter's Laboratory: Dexter's Ark/Tropes

This is the list of tropes for Dexter's Laboratory: Dexter's Ark.

Tropes
Dee Dee: “Folks, let's skip that part because we already seen that during the opening. So, let's see what's going on with Beau and the doves, shall we?”
 * Adaptation Expansion
 * Always a Bigger Fish - After Beau saves Dee Dee from one of its tentacles, the giant squid finally snaps. Just then, a sperm whale comes out of nowhere and drags the giant squid into the depths.
 * Animated Adaptation - This is actually loosely based on one issue of the Dexter’s Laboratory comics.
 * Animation Bump - The animation in this film is a lot more fluid and smoother than the previous film, Ego Trip.
 * Ascended Extra - Beau was originally an oneshot character, appearing in the episode, Beau Tie. In here, he is the main protagonist.
 * Becky and Gwen, from Bus Boy, appear as antagonists.
 * Black Comedy - As Beau, Dean, Donna, Mee Mee, Lee Lee and Douglas head to the ark by riding the bike, a bunch of mythical creatures and cryptids (an unicorn, an European dragon, a bigfoot, a cerberus, a chupacabra and a griffin) were seen all mocking and laughing at the ark. They all drowned after that.
 * Breaking the Fourth Wall - This happens after Dexter finishes the ark and starts to call all the animals of the world:
 * The Bus Came Back - Mee Mee and Lee Lee came back after their last appearance in season 2.
 * The Cameo - Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, Professor Utonium and Ms. Keane from The Powerpuff Girls make cameo appearances throughout the film.
 * Carnivore Confusion - The only law here in Dexter's ark is the ban on carnivores eating herbivores.
 * Conspicuous CG - The giant squid, the sperm whale and the baleen whales (blue whale and humpback whale) were all made in computer animation.
 * Decoy Protagonist - Dexter himself.
 * Everything's Squishier with Cephalopods - As the world begins to flood and Dexter's ark starts to set sail, Beau and Dee Dee encounter a pair of giant Pacific octopi that sneak into the ark and they're being placed in a saltwater tank. And then, there's a giant squid during the climax where Beau saves Dee Dee from drowning after being pushed off from the ark's deck.
 * In Media Res - The film opens with the animals' journey to the ark. Suddenly, the narrator spots Dexter while telling the story of Noah's Ark. And then, the film flashes back as Dexter tells the narrator how we got there.
 * Non-Standard Character Design - The designs for the animal characters are a lot more realistic than the cartoony human characters. However, Dexter's monkey and his mate are a lot cartoony than the realistic monkeys (capuchins, langurs, tamarins, macaques, etc.).
 * Out of Focus - Dexter only appears as a supporting character. Mandark only appears in the first half of the film.
 * Panthera Awesome - Sir Richard, a Bengal tiger who is being voiced by Sam Elliott.
 * Seldom-Seen Species - And they're just about everywhere! From maned wolves to pangolins to tarsiers to cassowaries to thorny devils.
 * There's even extinct animals aboarding Dexter's ark, such as thylacines, passenger pigeons and Bramble Cay melomys.
 * Shown Their Work - Dean and Donna are white release doves. They came from the wedding ceremory along with other doves. Unfortunately and ironically, white release doves cannot survive in the wild. And Dean's got a broken wing. Thankfully, Beau decided to adopt them.
 * And also, there's a female ostrich with brown feathers, peahens with duller colors and no tail fans, a female moose without antlers, male kangaroos and wallabies without pouches, most female songbirds with duller colors (such as cardinals, goldfinches and sparrows), a female Thomson's gazelle with shorter horns, crocodiles with both teeth shown while their mouths closed, etc.
 * Speaks Fluent Animal- Beau, Dee Dee and Dexter have tiny earpieces in order to hear what the animals say.
 * The Stinger - The credits end with Chester seeing his mate, Chloe, just given birth to their puppies.
