* ShaggyDogStory: The whole movie mostly kicks off because the usual Tom and Jerry antics destroy their entire household and render the pair and their owner homeless; besides stumbling into the studio by chance, their whole objective was to get a new home by winning. [[spoiler:When they get their tie and take the house key by force, it seems like they've won - and then the owner storms in, physically abusing Tom while claiming the house for herself, forces Tom to chase Jerry, and [[HereWeGoAgain the new house collapses in a minute as a result.]]]]

* PlotArmor: Tom gets the most beatings and slapstick of the cast in the entire movie, but when a fall that [[spoiler:kills Grammy]] occurs to Tom shortly thereafter, he conveniently lands on a hammock with no harm. It's almost literal too; the studio actually favors him enough to save his life and car where no other racers got such a chance.
