When I watched of this film, the first film I thought of was "Sausage Party" because, in essence, both films are quite gross and irreverent and, let's be honest, both are exercises of mental onanism. You know, the directors got drunk, got wild about an idea and situation, and created a crazy film that kept them lol.

This short takes a Biblical episode, the Flood and Noah's Ark, and reinvents it by asking implicit questions that you might have asked your mum, your friends or yourself when you were really young, had had some drinks over your limit, and were very-hormonal and thought that sex was the highlight of your life on Planet Earth. Questions like how is possible for all the animals not to procreate on the Arc? How was possible for the hierarchy of species not to take over the ship? Did the hyper-carnivores eat every other animal? What happened when the animals got in heat? Imagine the most absurd response, mix it with your fav zombie apocalyptic ending, use a pinch of "Animal Farm" with all the political allegory extracted and removed, make fun of something sacred and, voila, you have this hyper-feral, hyper-sexual zombie post apocalyptic biblical flood episode turned into a mutant. 

Day 40 is irreverent and not for sensitive spirits, but it has some good gigs an will get a laugh, or two, out of you. Round, not really, but a good exercise in alternative animation.

This film has a target public, and if you aren't one of the targets, you won't like it or might get offended. Of course, if you are a very religious person, don't watch it! If you find the poster of the film shocking, well, stop there!

The adult animation subgenre is aimed at mature audiences, typically consisting of content that explores complex themes, mature storytelling, and may include explicit language, violence, sexual content, or other adult-oriented elements. Unlike traditional animation that is often associated with family-friendly or children's content, adult animation caters to grown-up viewers who appreciate more sophisticated and often darker narratives.
