* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: [[FreezeFrameBonus In the background of the mansion]], you can see a statue of a [[NippleAndDimed completely]] [[FullFrontalAssault naked]] woman with a seductive smirk. The (male) paintings around her look extremely scandalized.
** This trope and HaveAGayOldTime are both noticeably averted by the Pound Purries, when you think about what the more obvious alliterative name for the cats could have been...
* LogicalFallacies: [=McNasty=] thinks he can be King because he's got Puppy Power.
** To clarify, nothing about him changes when he's got the bone that gives Puppy Power, he just says he's king of the world and gives himself a crown.
** Additionally, he's clearly in the States, there's no throne to usurp even if this plan made any sense.
** It's glossed over, but he says he wants to take over the world by using an army of vicious attack dogs. Which is an okay plan, but his Mean Machine doesn't need Puppy Power to work, and holding the bone doesn't give him any control over animals, so why did he want to steal the bone again?
*** He has the artifact which enables Puppy Power, which in the movie has existed for centuries, so he's holding a key component of civilization. Presumably he's treating it like Excalibur, with which the bone was found with in the past.
* MacGuffin: The [[JustForPun Bone of Scone]]
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: The best way one can tell that [=McNasty=] is up to no good is the fact that he's the only human character with razor sharp teeth.
* ObviouslyEvil: His name is [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast McNasty]] and he looks like the lovechild of [[Film/{{Nosferatu}} Renfield]] and [[Film/BatmanReturns the Penguin]]? [[SarcasmMode Nah, nothing suspicious about him!]]
* OffModel: Aside from changes made to the character designs, there is a particularly noticeable animation error in which Cooler's nose disappears from his face. WordOfGod confirms that the film's animation was done in only six months and with little preparation. Which could help explain the rather sub-par quality.
* [[TheyWastedaPerfectlyGoodCharacter They Wasted a Perfectly Good Actor]]: George Rose ([=McNasty's=] voice) can actually sing very well, making his atonal yelling in "the King of Everything" odd.
