The ark is not home, the ocean is

This film is a European multi-country co-production (Germany/Belgium/Luxembourg/Ireland).

European animation is different from the United States and Japan. It pays more attention to philosophical and ideological than the story itself, among which innovation and artistry are known. In other words, European animation is good at art creation that is not for the purpose of making money, which is simply dazzling.

"Noah's Ark Drifting" is a cute and cute European animation, and the animals in it don't know anything except the ones they know.

Seriously, no kidding.

I believe that when everyone saw the protagonist Finney and his father for the first time, they didn't know what animal this was. _(:3 ”∠)_

It is precisely because the species is unknown and not on the list, the Finneys are not eligible to board the ship. In order to avoid the flood, the father and son had to disguise themselves as Tasmanian devils, and they formed a family with the Tasmanian mother and daughter to infiltrate the ark.




As for the similarity, I can only say, is it when everyone else is blind... I

thought everything was going to be fine, but I didn't expect that the bear children couldn't control their playfulness, Finney and the little devil Leah accidentally fell out of the boat and were forced to stay behind on a desert island. The flood is imminent, and in order to save their lives, they start a journey of escape. On the way, they also met the unknown species A+B package, and a group of four formed a team to take risks together.

The plot of the whole film develops in two lines, the children run for their lives, the parents search for relatives, and each fights monsters to upgrade. They have all changed from hostile enemies to friends who fought side by side, and they sold well all the way. This story is quite family friendly.

But young but not low-


minded : ❶ Why are there no unknown organisms on the list. It

is recorded in the Book of Genesis and the Koran that the ark is a big ship built by human Noah according to God's instructions. Land creatures escape the catastrophe of floods. So we can see all kinds of terrestrial creatures that can be named in the movie: tigers, elephants, orangutans, alpacas....

And Finney and Dad, the unknown species A+B package is not in the list, in fact, early It is a metaphor for them to be marine creatures.


❷ The significance of marine life

[God said to Noah: "You and your whole family shall enter the ark, and of all clean animals you shall take seven males and seven females, and of unclean animals you shall take one male and one female. The birds will also bring seven males and seven females. For another seven days, I will rain on the earth for 40 days and nights, and I will destroy every living thing I have made from the earth.”]


From this, it can be seen that this flood is God’s Made by hand. All life and death are created by God, which is the view of creationism. But don't forget, floods won't drown marine life.

So at the end of the film, the big slug-like monster A is actually a whale, and the B on its head is actually a hermit crab. Even the protagonist's family are marine and land amphibians. This setting was arranged to tell the audience that they evolved in the flood.

This is Darwin's theory of evolution. The result of God Creation and Evolution PK, the film has given the answer.


❸ Carnivores vs Herbivores

The film uses a very creative game perspective to explain the difference between the two: ⚑ When the herbivore Daddy Finney is in danger, he has a slightly cute stand-alone thinking mode. ⚑ When the carnivore Lima is in danger, she has a networked slaughter-type thinking mode

. !



❺What species

is the Finney family the most discussed topic among netizens.

Looking at the current characteristics of Finney in the film:

(1) long nose (2) tail (3) glowing at night (4) release colored gas when scared (5) amphibious

among which guesses include: elephant-trunk beast, Anteaters, platypus, walruses, Malay tapirs,

but the director said that the protagonist is a character created by combining the characteristics of various creatures, which cannot be found in modern, ancient and prehistoric times.

The city will play...


Written at the end: an excellent animated film, which strives to be perfect even in the details.



Compared to the Disney DreamWorks boutique, which has been well-received, this European co-production Noah's Ark Crusaders without IP is not satisfactory, but it is definitely worth buying a ticket and going to the theater to enjoy it in person.
