# WesternAnimation.SamsonAndSally: While an otherwise-savvy movie about the lives of sperm whales, the art style simplifies them into having rounded, teardrop-shaped bodies with no dorsal fins, and they can appear as a bluish-black color, albino white, and some sort of black-and-white variant. While piebald whales can technically exist, it's rarely to neatly-organized, easily-repeatable patterns like the white mask-like facial markings over Sally's and Samson's pod leader's face. '''Describes how the appearance of the whales as cartoony affects the realism in a meaningful way.'''

The "island" emerges in pain, revealing itself as a huge, black sperm whale (much like Monstro), that swims desperately to the beach and gets stuck. Lulu and Alvin fall on the sand; she picks up his hand and they run among the crowd that gathers to see the poor stuck animal. '''Barely even describes what the whale looks like.'''
