History WesternAnimation / TomAndJerryTheMovie

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: When the demolition begins, Tom races to rescue Jerry from his mousehole despite him being able to easily escape without Jerry's aid.

* VocalDissonance: One of the alley cats has a large, imposing figure--but during "What Do We Care?", he's revealed to have a high-pitched, scratchy voice. That being said, the voice notably drops during the line "we prefer obscenity".

** "Yes, animals is our business, A moneymaking business"
** "What do we care about nice?, What do we care about sweet?"

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: When Robyn is explaining why she's running away and refusing to go back home, she explains that Figg is a very mean person has taken over the house (and given her room to Figg's dog), verbally abuses her, and threw Robyn's locket out the window. We soon learn that Robyn is correct about Figg and that she doesn't really care about Robyn, her concern being that she can get money off of Robyn because of her dad's trust fund. However, Tom and Jerry also make a good point that Robyn is running away isn't very smart. It's true that Figg is evil and doesn't truly care about Robyn but she does provide Robyn with a roof over her house, a warm bed, and meals which is better than having no home at all.

'''Tom:''' Alright, that does it! You little.. boy, you get me angry...!\\

A 1992 feature length WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry film released during UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation, directed by Phil Roman. [[Creator/HannaBarbera Joseph Barbera]] was consultant on it.

* OffModel: In the posters, Jerry is drawn significantly larger than he actually is when scaled against Tom.

[[caption-width-right:300:After years of fighting, they finally discovered something with fighting for... each other.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Tom's owner drives off without him (seemingly unintentional) at the beginning of the film, but never comes back for him or at any other point during the adventure.

''(both do a DoubleTake'')\\

* FiveSecondForeshadowing: Dr. Applecheek turns out to be evil near the end of his musical number. However, you can tell there's something shifty about him at the very beginning of the song just by looking at some of his facial expression. For example, he has a smug look when he lets Tom and Jerry out of the cage. When he starts singing about how he loves "God's little creatures," some of his expressions and gestures are overly dramatic to the point that you can tell he's showing CrocodileTears.

* DarkerAndEdgier: While the shorts were obviously no stranger to violence and peril, it was always PlayedForLaughs, or even in particularly grim scenarios, BlackComedy. Here, the central conflict revolves around a child whose mother died and father was presumed dead for most of the movie. Also as noted by WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic, when Tom gets cut to pieces in the movie, his insides are actually blood colored.

%%* [[EvilUncle Evil Aunt]]: Oh yeah.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: When the cabin is burning down, Lickboot seems genuinely concerned for Robyn's safety and tries to get her to leave the cabin with them, despite Figg's orders to get out without Robyn. Actually, Lickboot may not care about Robin at all, just the potential fact that if she perishes in the fire, he and Aunt Figg lose the inheritance money. Plus, they would have some explaining to do as well.

* InNameOnly: How many ways does this movie deviate from the original shorts? Let's count the ways:
** First, there is very little of the series trademark slapstick in the film. The few times it appears are in the opening, the dinner scene in Aunt Figg's mansion (although Figg's wiener dog was the catalyst in that, not the duo themselves), a scene where Jerry gets a fish to bite Tom's tail while they are on a raft before they come across Robyn's locket, and at the very end. This is also coupled with Tom and Jerry deciding to become friends via song.
** Second, Tom and Jerry [[SuddenlySpeaking talk the whole time]], something that only sporadically happened in the original shorts. And the voices in question sound nothing like the few times they talked.
** Third, the movie treats the cat and mouse duo as supporting characters at best when Robyn appears and becomes the central figure of the film.
** Fourth, there are the musical numbers, [[FollowTheLeader obviously thrown in to cash in on the Disney musical craze of the early 90's]]. And no sign of the original Tom and Jerry theme on top of that.

* MythologyGag: When walking through the city, Tom tries to eat at (and is swiftly kicked out of) a restaurant named [[Creator/HannaBarbera Bill and Joe's]].

* ParentalAbandonment: Two examples; Tom and Jerry are (unintentionally) left behind by their owners when they move away (and are even still inside the house when it's demolished), and Robyn has a MissingMom and DisappearedDad, the former dead, the latter away for most of the film but he does return when he hears that Robyn is in danger, rescues her from the fire and promises to never leave her away.

* PoliceAreUseless: The cop who returns Robyn to Aunt Figg remains oblivious to the many signs that all is not right in that house.

* SocialServicesDoesNotExist: When Robyn returns to Figg's residence, Figg doesn't need to face any inquiry for this incident. It's never indicated that Robyn gave a statement to the policeman that brings her back, or if he even asked her why she ran away in the first place. He just takes her to the house that she was previously ''physically struggling'' to stay away from without any concern for her safety there.

* StatusQuoIsGod: At the end of the movie, Tom and Jerry no longer talk and course continue their chasing of one another.

* LuckyTranslation: In the Polish version, aunt Figg calling Robin an orphan fits even better as the word is often used as an insult similar in meaning to "loser".

* FaceOnAMilkCarton: Aunt Figg and Lickboot cook up a scheme of finding Robyn by printing her face on the milk carton and offering one million dollars to whoever finds her. [[ ForTheEvulz Of course they don't intend on actually paying the money.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: When the cabin is burning down, Lickboot seems genuinely concerned for Robyn's safety and tries to get her to leave the cabin with them, despite Figg's orders to get out without Robyn.
