8
9	* AdaptationDyeJob: Dorothy's hair is more brown than auburn.
10	* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: How do Dorothy, Tom ''and'' Jerry have the same dream? Of course, as per the sequel, everything wasn't AllJustADream.
11	* AdaptedOut: The psychic, alongside characters cut in the [[Film/TheWizardOfOz original film]] are never mentioned in this version.
12	* AmusingInjuries: It's Tom and Jerry, it's expected.
13	* AnimatedAdaptation: The film is an adaptation of ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' with some comedic elements added in.
14	* AnthropomorphicShift: Toto's behavior and expressions are slightly more anthropomorphic than in the original film.
15	* TheCatCameBack: One scene pays homage to the WesternAnimation/{{Droopy}} cartoons by having Tom and Jerry trying to run away from Droopy, only for the dog to constanly show up right next to them.
16	* CompressedAdaptation: The scenes of Dorothy going to the psychic and meeting the Tin Man, Cowardly Lion and Scarecrow were completely cut. Although the latter are deliberately PlayedForLaughs because Tom and Jerry slept through that part.
17	* {{Crossover}}: A crossover between ''Franchise/TomAndJerry'' and ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''. WesternAnimation/{{Droopy}} and Butch/Spike appear as other MGM characters as per usual in these movies as well. However to the more astute history buffs so do the Oz characters. See the YMMV page for the explantion.
18	* DeliberatelyMonochrome: [[DoubleSubversion Double Subverted]], television airings have farm scenes just slightly desaturated, while the DVD/Blu-ray releases include an alternate version of the film with the farm scenes retaining their 1930s colors (sepia, grayscale).
19	* DenserAndWackier: With the presence of Tom and Jerry, it is much more comedic than the 1939 film.
20	* {{Disneyesque}}: Characters from ''The Wizard of Oz'' are this, though Tom and Jerry keep their regular design.
21	* FurryConfusion: Tom and Jerry are {{Funny Animal}}s who are treated like humans for the most part.
22	* LighterAndSofter: It's Tom and Jerry, it's expected. The added comedy adds more levity to the almost horror-like film.
23	* MythologyGag: When Tom and Jerry grab on to the edge of the witch's castle, they quickly pose in a way identical to the iconic title card.
24	* SoundtrackDissonance: Dorothy's opening song, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", mostly focuses on Tom and Jerry fighting.
25	* VagueAge: Dorothy still looks and sounds like a teen. This leaves it vague whether she's 8-12 like in the original books or 16 like Judy Garland was. The sequel has Dorothy state that she will be 15 in eight months, putting her at 14.
26	* YouDontLookLikeYou: Toto is stylized less like a Cairn Terrier and more like a Scottish Terrier mix.
