Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: During the chase with Butch the dog and the Alley Cat, two other random cats suddenly join in after Tom and Jerry. Just as quickly they appear does Tom get a way from the four with the latter two never seen again.
While looking at the ring while Chip shows it to Tom, Tom is left hypnotised by it until he’s whacked on the head, back into sense. The ring is never depicted showcasing hypnosis afterwards.
First Installment Wins: It's generally considered the best of the direct-to-video Tom and Jerry movies.
Jerkass Woobie: It’s easy to feel sorry for Tom in this flick. While he does try to violently remove the ring from Jerry, who, himself, tried to take it off shortly after confrontation, at least and also tries his hardest to get it off too, the cat knows he’s under the threat of being kicked out by his owner if he doesn’t get the ring back home. And even after Jerry finally gets it off, he throws it a way from Tom when he demands it back, leading Tom to end up stuck with it on and to take the fall, getting zapped out of his home, rendering his efforts All for Nothing, on top of being chased by almost everyone else shortlyafter.
Surprisingly Improved Sequel: While not considered a great film by any means (contrast with the above-mentioned First Installment Wins), it's considered to be a much better film than Tom and Jerry: The Movie, due in part to the characters returning to their voiceless personas and sticking much more closely to the series slapstick roots.
Unexpected Character: After many years of not appearing in anything, it's safe to say that it was totally unexpected to see Butch from Tex Avery MGM Cartoons after a long time.
Win Back the Crowd: As mentioned above, fan reactions to the movie were generally positive, especially since this was after a poorly received film and the polarizing "Mansion Cat" short.
The Woobie: Jerry. After getting the Ring stuck to his head, he ends up on a misadventure trying to get it off, having alley cats trying to eat him, people trying to painfully unscrew the ring off and Tom, as per usual, bothering him. He even gets it off at one point, only to end up back with it on shortlyafter. Fortunately, he manages to get it off for good at the end.
The Video Game
Breather Level: While the alleyway level features multiple enemies, it also introduces the watermelon, which can hit many enemies simultaneously.
That One Attack: Part of why Droopy is That One Boss? He can use a magic ring to fire ice bolts with large hitboxes. They also temporarily stop you in your tracks.
That One Boss: Where to begin with Droopy? During the fight, he has several orbs circling him. To deal damage to him, you need to attack the ball that's colored (the other balls are greyish). Not only does the ball you're targeting have a small hitbox, you're forced to rely on your normal, short-ranged attack as the room has no weapons. Plus, all the balls are always rotating around Droopy and he constantly attempts to keep them away from you. He can additionally use the magic ring to shoot ice bolts at you which temporarily stop you and are also hard to dodge due to their surprisingly big hitboxes.
That One Level: Despite hardly having any enemies, Construction Zone qualifies. Not only do you have to climb a building with poor platforming, bricks and anvils with poor collision frequently fall which damage you. Also, the level doesn't give you anything to Heal Thyself and birds can attack you during certain parts of it. At one point in it, Spike (who's invulnerable) will push you off the building if he sees you.
