* InsaneTrollLogic: Butcher initially refuses to be the goalkeeper for the Wild Dogs, as he is afraid of being struck by a soccer ball. He then agrees to join thinking that Grommel's soccer kicks aren't strong enough to hurt him, ''even though they are supposed to be on the same team''. Regardless, Grommel uses this opportunity to get himself added to the team.

* ArtisticLicenseMusic: The band's music consists of a banjo, 3 types of drums, and a violin, but the band is playing a violin, one drum, a cello, and a saxophone. And to put the icing on the cake, the cello-playing donkey tells the violinist cat "only the guitar solo, it is still a problem".

* ShoutOut:
** The film includes [[WesternAnimation/FritztheCat a cat named Fritz]].
** Jacko appears to have been named after Australian rules footballer [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Jackson_(Australian_footballer) Mark "Jacko" Jackson]], famous for his appearances in television commercials for Energizer and Nutri-Grain during the late 1980s and early 1990s.



* VisualPun: One that, unfortunately, [[LostInTranslation doesn't translate into most other languages]]: the [[FootballHooligans hooligans]] are geese. The German word for "goose" is gans.

* NothingExcitingEverHappensHere: Harry complains about having nothing to report on, which, alongside the rivalry between Castor and Jacko, lead to the soccer match being organized to create something newsworthy.
* PetsVersusStrays: The back cover to the French version gives a completely different plot from other versions, stating that the soccer match is being organized as a way to settle tensions between wild and domesticated animals. Very much {{downplayed}} in the actual movie. Aside from the fact that one team consists of jungle animals and the other contains dogs, the rivalry between ''one'' dog and ''one'' panther is just ''part'' of the motivation for organizing the match.

''Animal Soccer World'' is an animated movie by Creator/DingoPictures, which was also made into a UsefulNotes/Playstation2 game by Creator/PhoenixGames, with their usual puzzles and coloring pages.

Feeling bored after a long period without any newsworthy events, a group of [[AnthropomorphicZigZag ambiguously-anthropomorphic animals]] decide to organize a soccer match to create some excitement.

The movie is notable for being a bit of a {{crossover}} between Dingo's other animated films, due to featuring many of the animal characters from their previous works.

!A round of applause for the UNBELIEVABLE TROPES!

* AdaptationNameChange: In the [=Edutain4Kids=] Digital Book of ''Animal Soccer World'', Wabuu is renamed to Dingo. It's worth mentioning that at some point in the past, the cover for a ''Wabuu'' book was shown on the site, which was never released. Whether this means that Dingo is a separate character from Wabuu, or that ''ASW'''s Wabuu had his name changed after the ''Wabuu'' book was cancelled is unclear.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Castor (and his absent companion Pollux) was very evil in ''WesternAnimation/TheDalmatians'', but here, his worst traits are being arguing with Jako over the ownership of a ball, and refusing to let Krummel play on the team due to being too small.
* AnimalsNotToScale: Many examples, such as a cat nearly being as tall as an elephant.
* AnthropomorphicZigZag: The animals in the band and playing in the soccer match turn bipedal when they do so, even if they are quadrupeds for most of the movie.
* ArtisticLicenseSports:
** A dog volunteers to be a referee so that he doesn't have to run as much as the players while in reality, [[http://edition.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/06/04/world.cup.referees.fitness/index.html referees have to run around five times further than the players on average]].
** The alligator is seen ''dribbling'' the ball like a basketball while running, even though "don't touch the ball with your hands" is one of the most basic rules of soccer.
* BlindIdiotTranslation:
** In the Swedish dub, the dog asks the Ambulance Duck "Is it difficult?" whereupon the duck answers "No, only abrasions and bruises". The dog was actually asking if the injuries of the black panther are severe.
** The English dub is far, ''far'' worse, leading to hilariously Google Translate-y lines like "Everyday's the same, the same of nothing happen".
* BrokenRecord: Ominous jungle drums (with the occasional hit of dramatic synth strings) are looped over the entire movie, including over other music.
* ContinuityNod: In ''Lion And The King'', Dundee mentions his Uncle Albert. Here, Albert actually appears as one of the players...and uses [[GenerationXerox exactly the same character model]] as Dundee.
* CoversAlwaysLie:
** The video game versions. If you're expecting a football/soccer simulator featuring teams of animals, you're sadly mistaken. What you get is a generic activity center with coloring pages and sliding puzzles, and an animated movie ''about'' animals organizing a soccer game.
** The back cover to the French version gives a completely different plot from other versions, stating that the soccer match is being organized as a way to settle tensions between wild and domesticated animals. Aside from the fact that one team consists of jungle animals and the other contains dogs, the rivalry between ''one'' dog and ''one'' panther is just ''part'' of the motivation for organizing the match.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Jacko names his soccer team "the Jungle Kings, the kings of the jungle".
* EvasiveFightThreadEpisode: The soccer game conveniently ends in a tie, preventing any side from being shown as better. A follow-up match is announced, but the movie ends soon after, so its outcome will remain unknown.
* FootballHooligans: A gang of goose hooligans show up for the animal soccer game. They're stereotypically attired and some have weapons with them before the game even starts. They play no part in the film after being introduced.
* FoulWaterfowl: The infamous hooligans: a bunch of rude geese wearing BDSM gear that barge into the football stadium.
* FunnyAnimal: Harry, a fully-clothed anthropomorphic pelican with human hair, is accompanied by [[FurryConfusion a regular pelican]] that serves as his messenger.
* GentleGiant: Butcher. The biggest, strongest dog in town. [[WeaksauceWeakness Absolutely terrified of getting hit with a soccer ball.]] He ends up using his status as a desirable player to help snag [[ButtMonkey Grommel]] a spot on the team.
* LargeHam: Both Harry and the vultures. Especially once the game starts.
--> "Oh man, such a bad decision! One of the worst decisions in Soccer all time!"
--> "What's this, ladies and gentlemen!? CHAOS, '''ANARCHY!!'''"
* MisplacedWildlife: Nearly all of Dingo's animal characters from their previous movies make an appearance here, regardless of their natural habitat. Lions, dogs, seals, squirrels and panthers are just a few examples.
* TheSongRemainsTheSame: The band's song is sung in Dutch, even in the original German version.
* SoundtrackDissonance:
** Ominous jungle music is played over the entire movie, even in scenes where it's very unfitting.
** The band's music consists of a banjo, 3 types of drums, and a violin, but the band is playing a violin, one drum, a cello, and a saxophone. And to put the icing on the cake, the cello-playing donkey tells the violinist cat "only the guitar solo, it is still a problem".
* VisualPun: One that, unfortunately, [[LostInTranslation doesn't translate into most other languages]]: the [[FootballHooligans hooligans]] are geese. The German word for "goose" is gans.
