1->''"Manatee Girl! Abandoned as a child and raised by manatees! Now she fights as a defender of the waters her floating friends call home! With the help her adorable sidekick Baby Manatee, her Hunky Marine Biologist Boyfriend, and plain dumb luck, she fights to save the manatees from the brink of destruction!"''

4''Manatee Girl: The Movie'' is a short film parody of SuperHero, VideoGame, and MagicalGirl tropes. Manatee Girl, a well-meaning super heroine, battles the evil [[PunnyName InHumanatee]] and his henchwoman, Oil Spill (but not before taking an entire minute of a less-than five minute film to have a TransformationSequence). She bleeds and is battered, but wins out in the end thanks to using her SideKick as a torpedo. Cue a AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle segment with a moral that's acknowledged to have nothing to do with anything.

6It's sparkly and involves a floating manatees in space at one point.

10!! ''Manatee Girl: The Movie'' contains examples of:
11
12* AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle: Baby Manatee Says. Much to Baby Manatee's irritation, the message doesn't even fit in with anything.
13%%* BodyGuardBabes: Oil Spill is a very ditzy one
14* ByThePowerOfGreySkull:
15--> '''Manatee Girl:''' Manatee Girl Planet Saving Powers Activate!
16* CallingYourAttacks:
17--> '''Manatee Girl''': Baby Manatee torpedo mode, activate!
18%%* {{Camp}}: Very much so.
19%%* DastardlyWhiplash: The villainous In Humanatee has a comically oversized mustache.
20%%* DeadpanSnarker: Baby Manatee is rarely not snarking at ''something''.
21%%* {{Determinator}}: Manatee Girl refuses to give up.
22* TheDitz: Oil Spill. Thinks she's dating her boss and checks her phone mid-fight. Manatee Girl also comes across as a little spacey.
23* EEqualsMcHammer: There is "science" on the board behind Hunky Marine Biologist Boyfriend.
24%%* GreenAesop: The underlying message, although not the moral at the end (much to Baby Manatee's annoyance).
25* HandPuppet: Baby Manatee. At one point he falls off the off screen operator's hand and is placed back on it.
26%%* LampshadeHanging: Basically Baby Manatee's job.
27%%* LargeHam: Hunky Marine Biologist Boyfriend and, to a lesser extent, Manatee Girl. The In Humanatee becomes this when being defeated by Baby Manatee.
28* NoNameGiven: Hunky Marine Biologist Boyfriend is only known as Hunky Marine Biologist Boyfriend.
29* OnASoundStageAllAlong: The movie ends with a director yelling "cut!", TheReveal that Baby Manatee Says is a green screen, and Manatee Girl stepping out of character to snark about the film's budget.
30%%* OneSceneWonder: Hunky Marine Biologist Boyfriend is in exactly one scene.
31%%* OnlyInFlorida: Only Floridians could have produced something this... interesting.
32%%* OnlySaneMan: Baby Manatee is the only character that seems to realize how ridiculous everything is.
33%%* OpeningNarration: Done in an old timey radio voice.
34* {{Parody}}: Of MagicalGirl transformations, SuperHero things, VideoGame fights, and kid shows with tacked on message.
35* PoweredArmor: Defied. Baby Manatee won't wear battle armor because he'll sink if he does.
36* PunnyName: The In Humanatee, punning manatee and inhumanity.
37%%* PurelyAestheticGlasses: Hunky Marine Biologist Boyfriend.
38%%--> '''Baby Manatee:''' I refuse it believe those glasses are prescription.
39* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Oil Spill thinks she's dating the In Humanatee. The special effects inform us she's "delusional".
40%%* SlapStick: Most of the fight scene is Slap Stick comedy.
41%%* SnarkyNonhumanSideKick: Baby Manatee.
42* TransformationSequence: Is roughly a minute long and includes Manatees In Space! in the background. It's also interrupted by the main villain checking his watch.
