7
8	!!''Tom and Jerry: Blast Off to Mars'' contains examples of:
9	* TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects: Most of the movie is traditionally animated, but the Invince-a-tron is a cel-shaded CGI model.
10	* AdultsAreUseless: None of the scientists or authorities on Earth can deal with the alien invasion.
11	* TheAhnold: The president of the United States is based off of ''Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger''.
12	* AlienInvasion: The whole point of the movie.
13	* AndMissionControlRejoiced: Mission Control celebrates when the rocket with Tom and Jerry returns. Little do they know what's coming for them.
14	* AttentiveShadeLowering: [[TheAhnold The President of the United States]] briefly lowers his glasses when sternly thanking Tom and Jerry for ending the alien invasion.
15	* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: The titular duo spend most of the movie in outer space without helmets, yet neither suffer any ill-effects (although Tom's head does get bigger when it's stuck outside of the rocket).

17	** When Biff and Buzz (along with a scientist and their boss) try to catch Tom and Jerry this happens with Tom and Jerry peacefully walking out as the four foolish men beat each other.

21	* ColossusClimb: Spike defeats the Invince-a-tron by climbing up its body to retrieve his bone, which Jerry threw into its head.
22	* CoversAlwaysLie: Nothing close to the scenario depicted on the page image happens in the movie proper: Tom does wear a space suit, but it's white instead of red and he loses it before he even gets into space, Jerry doesn't get a suit at all, and Mars isn't nearly as small as the cover makes it look.
23	* ExitPursuedByABear: The last scene has Tom chased by the mech [[ChasedOffIntoTheSunset off into the sunset]].
24	* FaeriesDontBelieveInHumansEither: Until the events of the movie, it's been a long-standing belief by the Martians that their neighboring world of Earth doesn't harbor any sentient life.
25	* HumanFocusedAdaptation: The plot is mainly about Biff Buzzard and Buzz Blister traveling to Mars to investigate if any aliens reside there, while the alien invasion itself gets caused by Tom and Jerry's usual antics, once they find themselves on Mars.

31	* LittleGreenMan: The Martians are, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin little, green and humanoid]].
32	* MarilynManeuver: During the climax, a female reporter has her skirt start to lift up due to the giant robot's vacuum cleaner and quickly pushes it back down.
33	* OverlyLongGag: King Thingg falling down the stairs, which lasts so long a pair of Martians meet up, get HappilyMarried and have [[BabiesEverAfter several children]], all before he lands.

35	* ShoutOut: The [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey black monolith]] on Mars.
36	* SmallRoleBigImpact: The Martian scientist who discovers that Tom and Jerry [[spoiler:are from Earth]] only has about a minute of screen time. Nonetheless, his revelation [[spoiler:triggers the Martian invasion of Earth,]] and he later [[spoiler:jump starts the broken giant robot to send it to Earth after the fleet.]]
37	* SpinningPaper: Announcing Tom, Jerry and Peep as the heroes who stopped the AlienInvasion.
38	* ViciousVac: The Invince-a-tron, the Martian’s giant robot, uses a vacuum cleaner as a weapon, gleefully sucking up the people around the International Space Place. One step of defeating it is even to open up its back and burst the vacuum bag, simultaneously rescuing those who were sucked up earlier.
39	* WeirdWorldWeirdFood: Peep is perfectly fine with eating the food at the Martian kingdom's buffet, but Jerry isn't.
40	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
