* NewTechnologyIsEvil: Zig-zagged. Strickland's police robots and heavy surveillance are clearly bad, but the fancy, advanced cell phone that Top Cat recieves is pretty useful, even if it only plays a minor part in the story.

Skipping to the intro of what is thought to be for TC and the gang, another ordinary day (whatever that meant), Officer Dibble is excited to be promoted as the new Chief of Police after knowing that the old Chief will be retiring. But in an unexpected turn, his son-in-law, Lou Strickland, would instead be taking his place despite having no experience. He replaced the staff with robots which he thought to be more competent, with everything else relying solely on technology, in the belief that they couldn't make mistakes. With absurd changes within the city's law and the people of New York under a tyrannical rule, Top Cat, his gang and Officer Dibble plan to stop him in his tracks.

* KangarooCourt: The court that convicted After being framed for robbing the orphanage, Top Cat for is also subjected to an unfair trial, where Strickland is both the orphanage robbery.only jury member ''and'' his lawyer.
* PragmaticVillainy: A {{downplayed|trope}} example that is PlayedForLaughs. When he becomes Chief of Police, Strickland lets Dibble keep his job, while firing the rest of the officers and staff and replacing them all with his robots. Strickland explains that only he needs a single employee to come in and turn the machines on in the mornings, since he can't be bothered doing it himself, and he chooses Dibble solely because they happen to share the same birthday, [[TheScrooge meaning Strickland won't have to organise more than one party]].

Moving two examples from the parent series' page.
Added DiffLines:
* BalloonBelly: Subverted in the film adaptation, in the scene where Dibble returns to the alley to alert T.C. and his gang that the villain became Chief of Police... after the gang had a celebration going. It may or not be visible to you, but if you've got a good eye and can compare other scenes T.C. is in, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMcOSrTsiWI take your pick]] (Go to 0:23:00). He does however, state he feels sick from eating too much having partied.
Added DiffLines:
* CatsAreMean: Averted by T.C., as in the original series -- The movie makes his decent side clearer, as he not only saves an old woman from being squashed, he makes it clear to his gang when they suggest stealing someone's tickets to an event that they will only steal from someone who deserves it. He is also shocked to learn that he has been accused of stealing from an orphanage.
