Dewicking Just For Pun


* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: While the film's premise of cavemen inventing football is both a funny and unique idea, this is only really shown in the prologue, with the rest of the film [[JustForPun devolving]] into a cliché underdog sports movie that is only aesthetically set in a "primitive" period.

The only thing the two films have in common is that they are both about soccer


* SpiritualLicensee: This film easily serves as the closest thing to a proper English-language WesternAnimation/{{Metegol}}.

* CriticalResearchFailure: The reason Dug and his tribe were forced out of their valley by Nooth was due to the fact the valley was evidently rich in bronze ore, which results in mining operations beginning shortly afterwards. Bronze ore does not exist in reality, as bronze is an alloy metal made from copper and other metals such as alluminium or tin rather than a naturally occuring metal.

* ClicheStorm: [[spoiler:Naive optimistic hero who wants more, conservative old leader who rejects his ideas, wacky pet sidekick, greedy rich villain who wants to destroy the hero's place to build more stuff, deal decided by a big game, tomboyish girl very talented at a sport she cannot participate in, training montage where total newcomers manage to compete with champions, teamwork winning over individualism, villain tries to cheat, unlikely team member who was thought incapable joins in and proves himself, underdog heroes win, villain gets humiliated and punished, and heroes go back home to their simple life.]]
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The movie could have concentrated more on the prehistoric setting, but instead settles into a cliché underdog sports movie that is only aesthetically set in a "primitive" period. That was one issue by AniMat.
