History YMMV / LeafieAHenIntoTheWild

* QuestionableCasting: In the English dub, Leafie doesn't sound like an adult. She sounds, at the oldest, like a teenager, sharply contrasting her more mature voice in the original Korean.

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: For someone who doesn't have any other voice acting credits, Ryan Hollyman, who voices Wanderer/Wilson, Bat, the leader of the duck flock and the race announcer in the English dub, has a surprisingly good voice range, managing to make each character he voices sound distinguishable from one another, particularly in the race scene, when he voices the flock leader and the race announcer back to back in one moment.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Why, exactly, is One-Eye ''crying'' when [[spoiler:she kills Leafie]]? Is she sad at having to help [[spoiler:Leafie]] commit suicide as a HeroicSacrifice? Mourning a WorthyOpponent [[spoiler:and fellow MamaBear]] before she makes the kill? Or is she crying in ''relief'' that [[spoiler:her pups now won't starve]]? Or, given the timing, did she witness Greenie and Leafie's separation minutes beforehand, and was truly moved by it?

* TheWoobie: Leafie. She has unrequited affections for Wanderer, who ends up dying (along with his mate), and many other things happen to her that she doesn't deserve. [[spoiler:It doesn't help that she dies at the end of the film.]]
* WTHCastingAgency: In the English dub, Leafie doesn't sound like an adult. She sounds, at the oldest, like a teenager, sharply contrasting her more mature voice in the original Korean.

* FridgeHorror: [[spoiler:Leafie offering herself to One-Eye may seem heartwarming at first, but then you realize that she had been getting sicker through the entire film. Assuming One-Eye didn't get sick from eating Leafie, there may not be enough meat on her bones to sustain her and the young]].

** The reason One-Eye wept is because of ''empathy.'' In that moment, she truly understood that Leafie was also a devoted mother doing her best to protect her child, and that Leafie understood her as well. She fully knew that Leafie was willingly offering up her own life so that another mother would not have to watch her children die, and was deeply moved by the sacrifice.

* JerkassWoobie: One-Eye Weasel. She is cruel, merciless, and kills other animals, but the reason she does so is because she's only trying to eat [[spoiler:and later in the year, create milk for her pups. She was also seen to be sad when she had to kill Leafie.]]

* FriendlyFandoms: With ''Literature/ArashiNoYoruNi'', another cutesy Asian animal-based animated film.

* FridgeBrilliance: [[spoiler:Leafie's HeroicSacrifice at the end is very easy to understand, if you see Leafie's primary motivation as being a MamaBear. Having seen Greenie to fledging and knowing what she did about One-Eye, she helped another mother with ''her'' babies, the only way left to her. And One-Eye knows it...she's ''crying'' when she makes the final lunge for Leafie.]]

* FanonDiscontinuity: The English dub - what with censoring the ending, inferior voice acting, and changing the names - doesn't exist to most fans. [[spoiler:Leafie's death]] is completely removed in the German dub. At least with the English dub there are actually multiple versions. One incarnation completely cut the scene out while others just cut off [[spoiler:before the One-eyed Weasel runs at her]].

* TooDumbToLive: Debatable. [[spoiler:One-Eye refuses to scavenge]].

* TheWoobie: Leafie. She has unrequited affections for Wanderer, who ends up dying (along with his mate), and many other things happen to her that she doesn't deserve. [[spoiler:It doesn't help that she dies at the end of the film.]]

* {{Narm}}: Some find the idea of [[spoiler: a predator ''crying about killing a prey animal'']] as {{Narm}}, but it may be for many reasons, several of which are TearJerker territory. See AlternativeCharacterInterpretation above.

** Some find the idea of [[spoiler: a predator ''crying about killing a prey animal!'']] as {{Narm}}, but if you understand [[spoiler:Leafie's final goodbye]], it's easy to understand why she's shedding tears. [[spoiler:She had to assist an honorable suicide to save her own pups - and that's exactly why Leafie offered to do it.]]

** There is also something strangely narmy about [[spoiler: a predator ''crying about killing a prey animal!'']]

* CounterpartComparison: It's basically like the South Korean-equivalent to ''Disney/{{Bambi}}'', but far darker and more depressing--and with more focus on the parent than the kid.
