* BrokenAesop: The main moral of the story is that you shouldn't unfairly judge others for being ugly and that ugliness is not inherently indicative of being bad (and that beauty isn't inherently indicative of "goodness" either). However, the message falls a little short when you consider that all of the main characters, the ones who are supposed to be "ugly," are really not that ugly. In fact, they look no less adorable than Pretty Boy the koala. Despite their real-world counterparts looking anything but.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: The Tasmanian devils the group meets are called Lucifer, Beelzebub, and Dave.

''Back To The Outback'' is a 2021 Australian-American animated adventure comedy film directed by Clare Knight and Harry Cripps. The film follows five Australian zoo critters--a tender-hearted taipan snake named Maddie (Creator/IslaFisher), lovesick funnel-web spider Frank (Creator/GuyPearce), cynical thorny devil lizard Zoe (Creator/MirandaTapsell), a neurotic scorpion named Nigel (Creator/AngusImrie), and a pompous koala named [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg Pretty Boy]] (Music/TimMinchin)-- that are NotEvilJustMisunderstood, who embark on an adventure to get [[TitleDrop back to the outback]]. The trip is not without its perils, as zookeeper Chaz Hunt (Creator/EricBana) and his son Chazzie are on the hunt to catch the animals and bring them back to the zoo.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** [[spoiler:After Chazz admits the truth to Chazzie over his false persona, it seems as if he'll give it up and become a better man for confessing, as Chazzie makes it clear that he still loves him. Instead, Chazz doubles down on the whole thing, insistent on making his lie a reality out of shame.]]
** [[spoiler:While Pretty Boy eventially warms up to Maddie enough to offhandedly think they're becoming friends, he's still quick to leave the group to join the "pretty people" (other koalas), as his superficial nature is not so easily erased.]]
