Garfield, the cartoon cat, returns in a feature-length CGI animated movie. Tired with his routine as a comic strip star in Cartoon World, Garfield escapes the page, with his dim-witted canine companion Odie, to live in the Real World with no prospect of return. His initial excitement quickly evaporates when he realises he'll be spending his nights in a leaky old building and living off dumpster scraps. Furthermore, the neighbourhood cats don't believe he's the real Garfield from the newspaper comic strip. When the local paper decides to replace the Garfield comic strip for good, he realises the enormity of his mistake and begs his old funny paper co-workers in Cartoon World to somehow find a way to bring him and Odie back before their strip is permanently cancelled.

In the end, even though I saw this new trilogy in the wrong order, it kind of got under my skin. When seen through a child's eyes and seen with a child's eyes accompanying you, it’s no worse than the latest Casper films. The script is unexpectedly imaginative, but the animation is something that you need to get used to and not expect is to be any sort of classic. It's already pretty ROFL that Garfield and eventually Odie and co. get to live in the real world when their first life is passed off as the lives of newspaper strip actors. Jim Davis created his own fictional duplicate world about what goes on in his head when he draws... first life has sharp contours, but the real one lacks them. Is this symbolism?
