!!''An Arctic Tale'' contains examples of:

* BabiesEverAfter: The movies closes with Nanu giving birth to two cubs of her own and Seela birthing a female calf.
* GreenAesop: Throughout the film, narrator Queen Latifah makes allusions to how the rising temperature is affecting the animals in the ice kingdom. A message at the end of the animal footage notes that if the current trend continues, there will be no Arctic ice remaining by the year 2040
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:The male polar bear]].
* HeroicSacrifice: Under attack by a polar bear, Seela is rescued by her aunt. However, the polar bear has more power on land and she dies while giving Seela precious time to escape.
* HunterOfHisOwnKind: Nanu and her brother's mother lets them know that other polar bears are just as apt to kill them as anyone else.
* MirroringFactions: Despite the prey-predator relationship between walruses and polar bears, filmmaker Adam Ravetch noted that the experience filming them made him "realize that both have quite a lot in common."
* PolarBearsAndPenguins: Being a nature documentary, this is completely averted.
%% * RidiculouslyCuteCritter
* TookALevelInBadass: Arguably Nanu's willingness to face up against a gaint male polar bear for the share of his kill, despite being near death herself.
