* RecycledAnimation: Quite a lot of the 2D animation is this. It's most obvious in the climax, when the same fight sequences are repeated two or three times over the course of a few minutes. The most obvious example was an animation of Johnny Cage crab-walking away from some mooks, even though they try to hide it by first reversing the animation and then playing it in blurry slowmo.

Added DiffLines:
* LimitedAnimation: This was one of the first instances of digitally produced 2D animation. It shows.
Added DiffLines:
* OffModel: The 2D animation can be wildly inconsistent from frame to frame, much less shot to shot. As a result, Johnny's six pack will often be either flat or misshapen and Sonya can develop some very mannish facial features. [[YourSizeMayVary Scaling issues]] happen frequently due to the poor integration between the 2D characters and CGI backgrounds.

The plots between cartoon and movie are more or less similar, with the same three protagonists - [[BruceLeeClone Liu Kang]], [[TheLancer Johnny Cage]] and [[ActionGirl Sonya Blade]] - but with far less tournament and far more backstory.
