I remember very well seeing the trailer for the first time on TV and thinking, "Wow, it looks so real, so much like the Garfield from the animated series." And it definitely does; it looks very, very real, especially considering it was 2004. You couldn't expect anything better. The movie is very entertaining. The plot is perhaps a bit simple, but fun. The main villain is Happy Chapman, a frustrated TV presenter who, in his desire to surpass his successful brother, plans to kidnap the dog Odie because of his great talent for dancing. He thinks it's an excellent idea to exploit Odie on TV as a profitable business to gain fame and a lot of money. After this plot involving the villain and Garfield kidnapping Odie, we also have the romance plot between Garfield's owner and his veterinarian, and then the plot of when Garfield's owner adopts Odie to win over the veterinarian. This makes the first few days of living together a nightmare for Garfield and Odie, since Garfield doesn't... He doesn't like Odie at all, but then throughout the movie they get along better and better to the point of joining forces to defeat Chapman, the villain. Honestly, the movie is very entertaining, Garfield's animation is top-notch, and you can tell that all the real animals that act in the movie received excellent training because they do a great job.
