Frank Welker, Gregg Berger, Jason Marsden

Garfield, the mischievous cat with the deadpan delivery, is less than satisfied with the 2-D constraints of the cartoon world. As fortune would have it, Odie the dog happens to drop a bone into a hole...( read more  read more... ) in the screen separating the cartoon world from the real one, and Garfield sees the perfect opportunity. Jumping through the hole, the orange cat finds himself in the real word - and it's not exactly what he'd hoped. It's cold, lonely, and uncomfortable, and what's more, none of the other cats believe he's the real Garfield from the comic strips. Now our hero needs to find a way back into the comfort zone of his cartoon home, before the newspaper discontinues his comic strip for good.

    Garfields transition to the big screen has not gone well. The two movies were not recieved well and this CGI caper is hardly bound for greatness too. Not particularly funny or interesting. More absurd than entertaining and completely lacking in the humour of the comic strip. Quit...( read more)e surprising when you learn that Jim Davis wrote and produces this. My biggest gripes are when the characters do something unexpected... Garfield running/ Odie talking?!? Call me a traditionalist, but that's not natural.

    I really wanted to like this. I liked the movies and I love the cartoon and comic strip. However, this movie fell flat horribly. I liked the way they looked, but it was something in the animation and the way they moved that really bothered me. Especially since the reactions are o...( read more)ne of the main components of the humor. Kids unaware of the history of Garfield would enjoy this more than actual fans.

    graficamente, é muito bom (com exceção do john, bizarro), mas a história deixa um pouco a desejar.

    Garfield's Translation To The 2D To The 3D is an OK Idea I Guess. The Movie is 100% 3D Animated. I Think He Should've Gone To The 3D World, To The Real World Would've Been a Better Idea.

    ''Garfield Gets Real'' is Not as Great as The First ''Garfield - The Movie'', But, It's Wa...( read more)y Better Than The Dissapointed ''Garfield - A Tail of Two Kitties''.

    Interesting premise, but really, really sucky movie. Horrible animation.

    Not the best of Garfield but touching none the less. Oddie actually talks in this one. Just 2 words but it's a change from the norm.
