History Anime / YouAreUmasou

There is also a series of five-minute shorts lasting 20 episodes with every five episodes being an adaption of a book, all of them staring a male ''{{Tyrannosaurus rex}}'' which is most likely not the same dinosaur. The first story is about the protagonist's relationship with Umasou. The second one is about the protagonist's relationship with[[spoiler: an unnamed ''[[UsefulNotes/StockDinosaursNonDinosaurs Elasmosaurus]]'' (named Pero Pero in the film)]]. The third story is about the protagonist, Heart. The fourth story is about the protagonist's relationship with[[spoiler: 5 baby ''Ankylosaurus'' and their relationship with each other]]. The third one is the only one of the 4 stories where the protagonist is named. The film is essentially a combination of the first three stories retold with unaddressed issues being bought up [[spoiler: (like how a Tyrannosaurus need to eat meat to live)]].

* CoolOldGuy: Beckon, the old ''Tyrannosaurus''. He's too old to eat solid food or even move, so he leaves Umasou alone. He's sessile that he has berry plants growing on him.

[[http://gonom.kr/ A second film]] distributed by Korea has been announced and was released in July 2015.

** A strangely demon-horned carnivore, which according to WordOfGod is a ''Chilantaisaurus'', but just looks like some kind of demon.

* CartoonCreature: The tree-climbing creature that warns Heart and Light about the Big Jaws, which resembles a reptilian sloth with horns and chameleon-like eyes.

* CartoonCreature: The dinosaurs in this movie aren't particularly realistic-looking, to the point where it's hard to figure out what some of them are. In particular:
** A strangely demon-horned carnivore, which according to WordOfGod is a ''Chilantaisaurus'', but just looks like some kind of demon.
** The ''T. rex'' in the film walk upright, have short rounded snouts, and have a row of spines running down their backs making them look like a bizarre cartoony {{Expy}} of Franchise/{{Godzilla}}.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: A ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilantaisaurus Chilantaisaurus]]'' showed up in the second episode of the animated series, and in the movie as the purple horned carnivore trying to eat Umasou. There's also ''Avisaurus'', ''Ornithocheirus'', and titanosaurs. ''Maiasaura'' also qualifies to some extent. ''Gorgosaurus'' appears in episodes 16 and 17 of the animated series.

* CarnivoresAreMean: Played straight and subverted. The young Big Jaws are bullies, but Baku appears to be offering food and shelter to baby Heart when he thinks the latter has been orphaned, later stating that he was "skin and bones" at the time, and only exiles Heart to protect the rest of the Big Jaws. And then of course there's Heart himself who, while a competent hunter, tries his best to act mean yet fails miserably. Just like the herbivores being willing to kill in self-defense (see HerbivoresAreFriendly below), the carnivores are simply hunting to survive.

* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Just like CarnivoresAreMean, the film shows two sides to this. Heart's adoptive mother and brother are some of the kindest characters in the movie, and little Umasou goes out of his way to find food that both he and Heart can eat. However, almost everyone is shown to be willing to kill if it is necessary. Among a few other examples, Heart's mother tramples a ''Troodon'' to protect her eggs, and the leader of her herd nearly does the same to Heart when he's just a hatchling.

* OverlyLongTongue: Pero Pero the ''Plesiosaurus'' gets her name from the Japanese onomatopoeia for "lick", and [[MeaningfulName fittingly has a very long tongue]].

* StrongFamilyResemblance: When Baku stops by to leave him food, Beckon notes that Heart resembles Baku when he was younger and speculates that Baku's long-lost egg may have been saved.

* BittersweetEnding: While [[spoiler: the volcano eruption]] doesn't harm anyone, [[spoiler: Heart can't really stay with his mother and siblings. He continues to live with Umasou, mostly alone.]]
** [[spoiler: And this is actually happier than the book, where Umasou ends up going back to his real parents because Heart can't guarantee his safety.]]

* CartoonCreature: The dinosaurs in this movie aren't particularly realistic-looking, to the point where it's hard to figure out what some of them are. In particular is a strangely demon-horned carnivore, which according to WordOfGod is a ''Chilantaisaurus'', but just looks like some kind of demon.
** The ''T. rex'' in the film walk upright have short rounded snouts, and have dorsal fins running down their backs making them look like a bizarre cartoony {{Expy}} of Franchise/{{Godzilla}}.

* CoolOldGuy: Beckon, the old ''Tyrannosaurus''. He's too old to eat solid food, so he leaves Umasou alone.

* DramaticIrony: Heart never finds out who Baku really is, even though it becomes obvious to the audience relatively early on.

* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas

* FluffyTheTerrible: A ''T. rex'' named Heart is hard to take seriously. [[GentleGiant Of course,]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold it IS fairly accurate.]]

* InterspeciesAdoption: Two generations of it!

* RaptorAttack: The nest-raiding ''Troodon'' from the beginning of the film.

* TyrannosaurusRex: Both our core protagonist and several of his most persistent antagonists are all Big Jaws.

The film follows a ''{{Tyrannosaurus rex}}'' named Heart who was raised by a ''Maiasaura''. Realizing he was different, he ventures out to find where he belongs. One day, Heart finds a baby ''[[StockDinosaursTrueDinosaurs Ankylosaurus]]'' who mistakes him for his father, accepting "umasou ((you) look delicious)" as his actual name. Originally intending to eat him, Heart comes to be genuinely concerned for Umasou's wellbeing as a familial bond develops between the two.

* VegetarianCarnivore: Heart, at first. When he finds out he actually enjoys the taste of meat, he's horrified since he thought he was an herbivore.

* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Just like CarnivoresAreMean, the film shows two sides to this. Heart's adoptive mother and brother are some of the kindest characters in the movie, and little Umasou goes out of his way to find food that both he and Heart can eat. However, almost everyone is shown to be willing to kill if it is necessary. Heart's mother tramples a ''Troodon'' to protect her eggs, a ''Triceratops'' kills one of the Big Jaws by stabbing it with his horn, and the Titanosaur herd try their best to stomp Heart to death.

* CarnivoresAreMean: Played straight and subverted. The young Big Jaws are bullies, but Baku appears to be offering food and shelter to baby Heart when he thinks the latter has been orphaned, later stating that he was "skin and bones" at the time, and only exiles Heart to protect the rest of the Big Jaws. And then of course there's Heart himself who, while a competent hunter, tries his best to act mean yet fails miserably.

And then of course there's Heart himself who, while a competent hunter, tries his best to act mean yet fails miserably. Incidentally, there's a clear message throughout the film that carnivores need meat to survive, and there's no way around that.

* HerbivoresAreFriendly: At a cursory glance, the movie seems to play the trope straight. However, pretty much everyone is shown to be willing to kill if it is necessary. Heart's mother tramples a ''Troodon'' to protect her eggs, a ''Triceratops'' kills one of the Big Jaws by stabbing it with his horn, and the Titanosaur herd try their best to stomp Heart to death.
** On the flip side, while the young Big Jaws are bullies, other carnivores are basically just doing what they need to to survive. Baku even seems to be offering food and shelter to little baby Heart when he thinks that the latter has been orphaned.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: One-Eye, or Baku, the alpha Big Jaw. Three times the size of Heart and the younger big Jaws, he rules his pack by tooth and claw, and most of the time, Heart shies away from actually fighting him. [[spoiler: Until the very end, when it's his Maiasaur family on the line.]]
