Tom and Jerry: The Fast and the Furry (2005)
After being evicted from their old house by Tom's owner for causing major damage, cat and mouse Tom and Jerry enter a race entitled the "Fabulous Super Race" to win a mansion.
In Tom and Jerry: The Fast and the Furry, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “cartoon race show”. The story fights on E8/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing entertainment, competition, media, exploitation.
