Synopsis

"Garfield is back with a new look in his first all computer-generated film. Tired with his routine as a comic strip star, Garfield escapes the page and heads into the “real world.” While living the low-key life of a real house cat, he learns his comic will be canceled if he doesn’t return before the newspaper goes to print, but no character who has escaped to the real world has ever returned. To complicate the situation, evil forces are blocking his path back to Cartoon World!"
