| 1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "In My Next Life" and "Jump Back" are pretty funky '70s songs. |
| 2 | * BigLippedAlligatorMoment: An entire musical number is built around TheThirties, with Fritz dancing in front of stock footage, romancing a lady cat, and then losing all of his money. For that matter, every story outside of the main frame story could be considered a BigLippedAlligatorMoment. Justified in that he is, well high. |
| 3 | * EnsembleDarkhorse: Again, Duke the Crow from the [[WesternAnimation/FritzTheCat original]]. He may have died in the previous film and appeared as a ghost here, but he still has his fans. |
| 4 | * FanonDiscontinuity: Some fans prefer to think that there was no sequel. Creator/RobertCrumb, the original creator of ''Fritz'', doesn't even acknowledge that the film exists. According to Ralph Bakshi, this is because doing so would be admitting that the first film (which he hated) was not as bad as ''Nine Lives''. |
| 5 | * {{Padding}}: As enjoyable as the "Jump Back" song is, the whole sequence could be excised from the film without any consequence. It's basically just a music video in-between the other stories. |
| 6 | * {{Sequelitis}}: This was not written or directed by Creator/RalphBakshi, the maker of ''WesternAnimation/FritzTheCat'', or Creator/RobertCrumb, who created [[ComicBook/FritzTheCat the original comic]]. The only people involved with the first film who returned for the sequel are producer Steve Krantz, voice actor Skip Hinnant, and some of the animators. Even Duke, one of the characters from the first film, is [[TheOtherDarrin voiced by a different actor]]. In regards towards to the quality of the animation and humor, it certainly showed. |
| 7 | %%* SpiritualSuccessor: ''ComicBook/GarfieldHis9Lives''. You read that right. |
| 8 | * TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: WebVideo/PhantomStrider commented that he would much rather the film would have focused on Fritz's relationship with his family, how they came together in the first place, [[StartOfDarkness and how they got to where they are now]], as the parts outside of his fantasies were [[EightDeadlyWords the only times he had any emotional investment in the characters]]. |
| 9 | * UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Thanks to more topical political humor than the first film, it's more blatantly obvious when it was made. |
| 10 | * WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: This was apparently played on Creator/{{Showtime}} Family once, according to a review on Website/IMDb, despite the fact that it has an R rating. |
