The next morning…
 Shecky: Top of the morning to you, guys. Hungry?
 Lori: Is it a trick question?
 Shecky: What say we go to the park for a little dumpster diving before the trash collectors show up?
 Lori: (sarcastic) Sounds good.
 Garfield: Every time I think I’ve hit bottom, someone hands me a shovel.
 Lana: (gives him a shovel) Here you go.
 Garfield: Thanks.
At the park, Garfield found a newspaper in the trash.
 Garfield: Hey Odie. Let’s see how the folks back home are furring with our strip.
Odie and Lana got down, only to be chased by the same chihuahuas from the park.
 Lana: Well, Yipe again! (she and Odie run away)
Garfield checks the newspaper, only to discover bad news.
 Garfield: What?! They’re cancelling my strip?! They can’t do that! This wasn’t supposed to happen.
 Bonita: It’s all your fault, traitor!
 Little Red: Now do you believe what I said?
 Garfield: Only half of it. (sees something else) Hey. The newspaper’s having a contest to replace my strip. Hey guys, I have an idea. The kids, Odie, and I will go to the newspaper contest to make sure they don’t replace my strip.
 Waldo: What’s he doing?
 Shecky: That is one crazy cat.
 Garfield: All you guys have to do is figure out a way to get us back home. See you there.
 Jon: We can do this, guys.
 Billy Bear: That’s the spirit, Garfield!
 Wally: Good luck at the newspaper contest.
 Arlene: We’re here for you, Garfield.
 Garfield: Let’s go, Odie. Odie?
 Lincoln: Lana?
The two ran up the pole with the chihuahuas following them. Soon, they got off the pole, launching the chihuahuas in the air and back into holes. Meanwhile in the cartoon world...
 Jon: We’re here to come up with a plan to Garfield, Odie, and the kids back. Don’t be afraid to speak up. Remember, there are no bad ideas.
 Wally: Me! Me! Me!
 Jon: Yes, Wally?
 Wally: What if we built a device? An inter-dimensional escape hatch that would pass through the screen, equalize the pressure-
 Bonita: We don’t have to excuse Walter. He’s given two flights a fancy. Walter dear, your silly dream for inventions have never worked and they never will.
 Wally: Yes, dear.
 Lisa: That might work at the end. Unless any care for other options. (Sees a guy raising his hand) Yes, you there.
 Random Guy: Can we kill all the mexicans on Christmas?
 Lisa: No.
 Jon: Okay. Any more ideas? Anyone? Ugh.
In the real world, Odie and Lana were chased by chihuahuas until Garfield kicked a trash can and the chihuahuas ran into it. He kicked it down the river.
 Garfield: Have a nice day. (to Odie and Lana) Done playing with our little friends, are we?
 Odie and Lana: Uh huh.
 Garfield: Good. Now let’s go tell the newspaper that we’re going home.
 Lincoln: And Lana, you are not a dog.
 Lana: What? No I’m not.
They went off to the newspaper building.
 Garfield: This is it. Let’s go, guys.
They went in but they were followed by three mysterious girls.
 Aria Blaze: They’re trying to get themselves uncanceled.
 Adagio Dazzle: We’ll see about that. Is the girl with you, Dusk?
 Sonata Dusk: I got her alright.
With Sonata was Ronnie Anne.
 Ronnie Anne: Uh, what is it you brought me here for again?
 Adagio Dazzle: You’re here to have fun with us. We’re your friends. And we have some things to do. It involves that boy and his sisters with the cat.
In the newspaper building, people lined up to have their comic shown to the judges and see if it can replace Garfield or not.
 Man: This is my comic strip, Dicky Dot. I think he’s relevant and quite humoresque.
 Judge 1: Unlike you.
 Judge 2: Next.
The man left and another came with a puppet head of himself.
 Judge 1: Let me guess. Siamese twins, right?
 Man 2: Right.
 Puppet Head: Right.
 Judge 3: Funny.
 Judge 1: Sad.
 Judge 3: Funny, in a sad sort of way.
 Judge 1: Take your ugly friend home.
 Man 2: But he’s not ugly.
 Judge 1: I wasn’t talking to you.
 Judge 2: Next.
A flower girl came in, throwing petal everywhere while singing.
 Judge 2: Next.
Garfield and the gang hid behind a stand.
 Lisa: There they are.
 Garfield: We just gotta get up there and show them we’re back.
A punk came in to show the comic strip he made.
 Punk: Okay. So, like, this is really funny. Like, when people die, my people, like, takes them away.
 Judge 1: So, like, why don’t you go away?
 Judge 2: Next!
The punk ran off crying.
 Judge 1: What else have we got?
Garfield jumped onto the table.
 Garfield: Good afternoon, folks.
 Judge 1: Who are these guys?
 Judge 3: I don’t see them on the list.
 Garfield: See the resemblance?
 Judge 1: Hey, they do kind of look like them.
 Garfield: That’s because it is me. We’re pleased to announce that we’re ready to go back to work.
Odie hopped onto the table.
 Judge 3: What’s with that dog’s tongue?
 Judge 2: Must be some sort of a glandular condition.
 Judge 3: Not a very dignified representative of the canine fo-
 Garfield: Hey, can a real cat do this? (does a dance)
 Judge 1: Hey, that cat has one big belly on him.
 Judge 2: It would set a bad example of the overweight of the youth.
 Judge 3: Can’t have that.
 Garfield: Hold on. Hold on. We are the real Garfield and Odie. And to leave no doubt in your mind, we will now perform our classic gag from our comic strip. Odie, if you please. You know, folks, a day without kicking Odie off the table is like a day without… (kicks Odie off the table) sunshine.
 Judge 3: That cat just kicked that dog off that table.
 Judge 2: Oh, the horror! How violent!
 Garfield: Hey, lighten up, lady. Nobody gets hurt in a comic strip. Right, Odie? (checks Odie who’s really hurt) Oops, sorry, Odie. I didn’t know you could really get hurt in the real world.
Odie had bones spinning on his head.
 Judge 3: Uh, we’ve seen quite enough.
 Garfield: Did I mention we work for scale?
 Judge 2: Next.
 Garfield: But you’re making a big mistake.
 Judge 2: Next!
 Garfield: (sighs and gets off the table)
 Arlene: They can’t do that!
 Eli: This does not go well.
 Lincoln: This. Sucks. Can it get any worse?
It did. For another man came in.
 Man 3: Sid, Bobby, Eric. Mike here. I have for you today a licensing phenomenon destined to take the publishing biz by storm. Introducing Hale and Hardy!
A muscular cat and dog came in. They were Hale and Hardy. The judges are impressed as the animals flexed their muscles.
 Charlie Brown: Good grief.
 Lynn: Quoth the Raven, oh no bro.
 Garfield: We’re toast.
 Mike: These boys are positive, appealing, and can generate licensing income for your newspaper.
The people in the cartoon world: They’re toast.
 Mike: These two can have your fat lazy readers dieting and exercising in no time flat. Imagine dieting with (shows the judges a picture) Hale and Hardy Mineral Water. Imagine exercising with… (shows another picture)
 Judge 2: Hale and Hardy Leotards!
 Mike: And.. (shows another picture)
 Judge 3: Hale and Hardy dumbbells!
 Mike: In one of your franchise, Hale and Hardy Wellness Center.
 Judges: Ooooh.
 Lincoln: I thought it was an audition, not a commercial.
 Garfield: But are they funny?
 Mike: Well, what do you think?
 Judge 2: I think we have our new comic strip. Hale and Hardy!
 Garfield: I can’t believe this is happening.
 Hale: Oh, believe it, tubby.
 Mike: I just happen to have a contract right here.
 Lincoln: Don’t do it! That cat before them is Garfield!
 Judge 1: The kid’s right. Garfield was the best comic strip we’ve ever had. I’m gonna give him one last chance.
 Lincoln: Yes!
 Judge 1: If the strip isn’t back in the paper in 24 hours, we’ve got a deal with Hale and Hardy.
 Mike: No problemo. We’ll see you tomorrow.
 Judge 2: Sid, you can’t be serious. You don’t honestly think that cat and that dog are really Garfield and Odie.
 Sid: At my age, nothing surprises me. Humor me. The Garfield strip has one more day to make it back.
 Garfield: Yes, sir! You the man, Sid! You the man! (sings) We’re in the comics! We’re in the comics!
 Hardy: That strip is ours!
 Garfield: Sorry, Muscles for Brains, but our strip is going back into the papers tomorrow.
 Hale: We’ll see about that.
 Hardy: Dog abuser! (he and Hale laugh)
 Garfield: Losers. (blows raspberries at them) Come on, guys. We gotta find a way back home.
 Judge 2: Let's just see who’s next on the list. (Checks the list and sees the Dazzlings’ name on it) Next!
The gang went back to the park to try to find a way back into the cartoon world.
 Garfield: Comic world, here we come! On your mark. Get set. Go!
The gang ran to the newspaper, only to jump through it, not sending them to the cartoon world. The next attempt was to jump from the fence.
 Garfield: On your mark. Get set. Leap!
They jumped and they fell on the newspaper. It still didn’t work. Their third attempt was by being flattened by a steamroller.
 Luan: This better work.
 Garfield: It’ll work, Luan. Because if it doesn’t, at least no one will doubt our courage. (sees the steamroller heading towards them) Or our stupidity. We’re outta here! (leaps out of the way) That was close, guys. Guys? Guys! Oh no. (Sees Luan flatten like a pancake) Huh? (sees the others alive)
 Luan: Guess I’m just a ‘flat character.’ (giggles) Get it? No? Can anyone get me back to normal?
 Garfield: It’s not working. Nothing’s working.
 Shecky: Come on, Garfield. It’s time to go.
 Garfield: We gotta figure out a way to get back to the comic world.
 Shecky: Well, my door is always open.
 Sheila: Uh, good luck getting back into the paper.
 Waldo: Yeah, good luck.
 Garfield: Luck’s all we have left. (sees a newspaper) Hello? Anybody home?
 Arlene: Just us Toons.
 Garfield: Oh, we’ve tried everything we’ve known to get back and nothing works. I need some help here. I didn’t know if you’re watching this paper.
 Arlene: Wait! (gives him a rose through the tear)
 Garfield: Arlene, Eli, everybody, including Little Red, I’m sorry. I can’t believe I ever gave a thought to coming. You know what? This isn’t the real world. Reality is where your heart is. And my heart is with the comics. With you guys. If there’s a way back, I promise you I’ll find it.
 Arlene: Good night, Garfield.
 Eli: Looks like you finally got it figured out, Garfield.
Garfield sees a lady playing an accordion and he gets an idea.
 Garfield: Everyone, I have an idea.
He gets the newspaper and shows the gang the accordion.
 Garfield: Odie, hold up the paper. (to Eli) Eli, I hope you’re watching, because I need you to get to Wally.
 Leni: And get Lisa, too. She’s an inventor.
 Lucy: Better hurry though. No time to waste.
 Eli: (uses intercom) Wally, Lisa, come to the screen immediately. Wally, Lisa, come to the screen.
 Garfield: That was the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard.
 Girl: Hey, kitty.
 Garfield: Wally, Lisa, are you there?
 Lisa: Loud and clear.
 Wally: Mostly.
 Garfield: This could be our way back.
 Wally: What do you mean?
 Garfield: Remember your concertina? The one you rigged to steal Bonita’s cookies?
 Bonita: What?!
 Garfield: Make a bigger one to rescue us. Put doors on each end and stretch it to the screen like this.
 Wally: Of course. It could work. It’s brilliant!
 Bonita: You stole my cookies!
 Wally: But we need materials. We need people with tools.
 Bonita: My cookies!?
 Lisa: Come on, everyone. Let’s get to work.
 Garfield: Well, Odie, it’s out of our hands now. Oh, and nice work on the arpeggios there.
 Girl: Bye.It had been days after their runaway vacation in Jurassic World. The Loud kids were at home having their break from what happened there. They were busy reading newspaper comics in their rooms.
 Lincoln: (reads newspaper) A town of Peach Creek was destroyed for no reason of seven weird anime kids who crashed in the junkyard and returned back to their world at the end. (Stops reading) Oy, the anime kids again. When does the paper ever have news that’s not related to Peach Creek. I mean, things just happened back at Jurassic World. What's this? (Reads newspaper) Jurassic World gets a trilogy from a big box office bust. (Stop reading) Oh man. Now another one. (reads newspaper) Sample of dimension-destroying alien blood confiscated by an agency to keep a close on it. (Stops reading) Just Kirby Tri. Junk. Let's see what's on the funnies. (Sees the comics and laughs) Oh man. This is hilarious. (Sees an ad and reads it) Need a job? Come to Comix Studios and meet the stars of your favorite comic characters today. (Stops reading) A job at a comic studio? Where I can meet some of the most recognizable characters in funnies history? (sees the address) Oh. That’s gonna be a problem. I don't know where is that at Indianapolis? And let me tell you, Indianapolis is pretty far from Royal Woods.
 Bus driver: Bus stop to Indianapolis!
 Lincoln: Huh?
He sees a travel bus to Indianapolis.
 Lincoln: Convenience or plot device? Either way, that’s our cue. (to the girls) Come on, girls! To Comix Studios!
 Leni: We’re going to India!
 Lori: Indianapolis, he said.
 Leni: Oh. Minneapolis, here we come!
 Lori: Ugh. Let’s just go.
The bus went to a town of cartoon characters from Bedknobs and Broomsticks and comic characters from the newspaper.
 Lisa: Well, this is surreal.
 Lincoln: Maybe one of the writers need to put two projects in one. (talks to the audience) Considering he need to do it for someone who loves one of those films. (Stops talking to the audience) Anyway, I’m sure we will be fine here.
 Bus Driver: Now stopping at Comix Studios.
The Loud kids got off the bus.
 Lincoln: Here it is, Comix Studios. Where the best funnies are made. Let’s talk to someone so we can get our jobs here.
They entered the real world studio to get their jobs.
 Lincoln: Eleven kids here, wanting to work! We’re here for the job! Anyone here?
 Lori: This better not be a prank from that newspaper.
 Lincoln: This isn’t a prank. It’s part of the job listing. There has to be a response. (rings the bell) Helloooooo? Anyone here?
 ???: Just a minute! I'm coming. I'm coming. Geesh.
The door opens of a comic worker who was alone in the studio.
 Worker: Ah, new workers. Welcome to Comix Studios, where the funnies are made. You must be here to go to the cartoon world for your job?
 Lincoln: Uh, yeah. The job listing said about a job here. Of course. But in the cartoon world?
 Worker: Yes. That's where Garfield lived. And so are the Peanuts kids.
 Luan: (gasps) We heard of them before! We used to read them and Garfield every Sunday.
 Worker: Well, people say that the creator made him. And it's real. Come, I’ll show you how.
The worker gave the kids a walk to the secret room.
 Worker: You see, the creators of their own comics died a long time ago and there was no new ones left to be made ever since. So, someone created a world where comics are made in the real world.
 The Loud kids: Whoa.
 Worker: And best of yet, people are hired to take care of the comics and make sure they never leave their world.
 Lincoln: So the funnies were just photos of a stage?
 Worker: Yep. And in the real world, they look as if they were drawn by artists. That’s the magic of Comix Studios.
 Lisa: Intriguing.
 Lana: Awesome!
 Worker: That's not all. To get there is through the tear.
He opened the door to the secret room revealing a tear to the cartoon world on the wall.
 Worker: There's one like that in the stage at the cartoon Comix Studios. Yep, there are two Comix Studios. One in the real world, the other in the cartoon world. The fabric of space and time is stabled by the maker of the cartoon world.
 Lola: Who created the cartoon world?
 Worker: Nobody knows about that. But for some reason, he's Mr. Comink for the head of Comix Studios.
 Lincoln: Odd.
 Worker: Yeah, it’s a mystery who created that world. So, sign your pain weaver and be on your way to your job.
 Luna: Pain weaver?
 Worker: If there's an accident at the studio for a worker to get killed. Kinda like Dethklok’s pain weavers.
 Luna: Okay.
The Loud kids signed their names on the weaver.
 Worker: Welcome to your new job at Comix Studios. Your work begins through that tear.
They saw the tear in the wall.
 Lynn: That’s the tear?
 Lincoln: Are you surprised? It’s our job at a funnies-making studio.
 Worker: Have fun, kids. Enjoy your jobs at the cartoon world. (Presses a button and a big boot kicked them through the tear)
Soon, the Loud kids were teleported into the cartoon world.
It was morning at the cartoon world. In a little house, lies a napping cat. He was Garfield, one of the most famous characters in funnies history. The morning sun shined down on him, but he doesn’t want to wake up. He used his foot to close the curtain. As he napped, the arrival of the Loud kids caused the shutter to open, letting the sun in. Garfield was startled by their unexpected arrival and the sun. He tries to get some sleep in some different spots, but he couldn’t see anything.
 Garfield: I hate Mondays.
His owner, Jon Arbuckle, was busy making breakfast in the kitchen. He got the eggs and toasts ready. His pet dog, Odie, came into the kitchen.
 Jon: Good morning, Odie.
 Odie: (barks)
 Jon: Are you hungry, boy?
 Odie: (barks)
 Jon: Attaboy! Well, breakfast is nearly ready. We’ll eat as soon I arouse ‘Mr. Grumpy.’ Garfield! Breakfast!
 Garfield: Well, what do you know? I guess every cloud does have a silver lining.
He hits his head on a shelf, causing books to topple down on Garfield. A few seconds later, the shelves fell on Garfield.
 Jon: Oh my.
 Odie: Uh oh.
Garfield arrived at the kitchen, with the Loud kids behind him.
 Jon: Good morning, Garfield. Good morning, kids who just arrived this morning.
 The Loud kids: Good morning, Jon.
 Garfield: Good morning? Good morning? Jon, it’s Monday. Monday is the armpit of the week.  
 Lucy: He has a point. It’s like a black hole in the counter that just sucks all the joy out of our entire being.
 Luan: Cheer up, Garfield. You’re the star of your comic strip.
 Garfield: Work is the big part of the problem. Besides, how do you know my name?
 Lincoln: Well Garfield, allow me to introduce ourselves. I’m Lincoln Loud, and these are my sisters Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lucy, Lola, Lana, Lisa, and Lily. We’re big fans of your works.
 Jon: Well, you better cheer up fast, pal, because we leave for work in 20 minutes.
Garfield tries to squirt ketchup on his food, but it spilled all over his breakfast.
 Garfield: I can just cry. (sighs)
 Jon: Say kids, wanna come to Comix Studios with us? Garfield’s got a comic strip to do today.
 Lincoln: Yes, Jon, we want to come. We got new jobs waiting for us there.
 Jon: Well, it’s settled. To Comix Studios we go!
They got into Jon’s car and they drove off. A cartoon superhero flew by to greet them.
 Jon: Good morning.
The superhero then got tangled in some telephone wires. Next, a cartoon cat is seen chasing two mices.
 Jon: Hello there.
The cat ran into a fire hydrant. The gang stopped to pick up Arlene and Nermal.
 Arlene: There they are.
 Nermal: Morning, guys.
 Garfield: Uh, why don’t you sit in the back, Odie? (puts Odie in the back)
 Arlene: Good morning, Garfield.
 Garfield: Good morning, Arlene. Hey, why don’t you sit up there with…
Nermal sat next to Garfield.
 Nermal: Hiya, Garfield.
 Garfield: Get in the back, Nermal.
 Arlene: I’ll just sit in back.
Arlene sat in the back, much to Garfield’s chagrin.
 Jon: Buckle up, kids.
They continued their drive to the studio.
 Garfield: This is gonna be a long drive.
 Luan: So far, this world is amazing.
 Lori: And more relaxed compared to the adventures we’ve been through.
 Nermal: Hey Garfield, guess what day it is today?
 Garfield: I know what day it is, Nermal.
 Nermal: Oh, come on. Guess.
 Garfield: Nermal…
 Nermal: I guess you don’t know.
 Garfield: It’s Monday.
 Nermal: It’s whaaaat?
 Garfield: Monday!
 Nermal: And... (in singsong voice) you hate Mondays! M to the Ondays! You hate ‘em! You hate ‘em! Yeah!
 Garfield: Not as much as I hate you, Nermal.
Soon, they arrived at the studio.
 Jon: Hey, Jack.
 Jack: Howdy.
The gate was open and they have reached the studio.
 Lincoln: Here it is, Comix Studios in the cartoon world.
 Lana: Wow. Garfield and Odie are on the sign. So majestic.
 Luna: Wait till you see the inside of this place.
They went inside the studio cafeteria, where they see some other famous comic strip characters.
 Lana: (gasps) It’s Billy Bear! A few feet away from me. Good morning, Billy Bear!
 Billy Bear: That’s my name. Don’t wear it out.
 Luan: Wow! How ya doin’, Randy Rabbit?
 Randy Rabbit: Luan, I’m fantastic!
 Lincoln: Wait, how do you two know them?
A montage plays in their head, with Keep On Loving You played over it. It showed them admiring the posters of their beloved characters. The montage ends.
 Garfield: (sighs) Man, here we go.
He went pass Dagwood, who was carrying a very big sandwich. He went over to get some lunch.
 Garfield: Zelda, Zelda, Zelda, how’s my favorite catering ones today?
Zelda poured coffee in Garfield’s cup.
 Garfield: What’s your poison du’jour?
 Zelda: Cat creole. Care for some?
 Garfield: Ever thought of just letting your hair down?
 Zelda: Ah.
 Garfield: I bet you’d be a heartbreaker, baby cake. (meows)
Sitting near the Loud kids were Wally and his wife, Bonita. Wally was playing an accordion.
 Bonita: Walter, please.
 Wally: Sorry, dear.
 Bonita: Why must you always be fiddling with things? I mean why can’t you just sit quietly like a good husband?
 Wally: Yes, dear.
 Lisa: (sees the couple and hyperventilates) There they are. Wally and Bonita. I’m getting goosebumps! Eeeeeeee! (a montage of her reading their comic strips plays in her head)
 Lincoln: Man, I guess I’m not the only Loud who appreciates comics.
 Garfield: Yo, Wally.
 Wally: Hey, Garfield.
 Garfield: So what’s the world’s greatest inventor up to today?
 Wally: Watch.
His accordion stretched over to a cookie and a robot hand grabs it.
 Bonita: I thought I had another cookie.
 Garfield: Hey, where can I get one of those?
 Lisa: Save one for me, too.
 Wally: I’ll put you both on the list. (eats cookie)
 Billy Bear: Contrary to popular belief, nose blowing is an art. Let me demonstrate. The toot.
He blows his nose on a handkerchief and out came a trumpet.
 Lana: Amazing!
 Jon: Not bad.
 Garfield: Oh, man. I gotta get out of this place.
 Billy Bear: The whoopee cushion.
He inflates his head and blows through the handkerchief.
 Jon: Heh heh. I love it when he does that.
 Lana: Me too. Say, where’s Lily?
Garfield throws his cup and the frog trash can caught it with its tongue.
 Frog Trash Can: Mmm. Thanks.
 Garfield: Live it up, pal.
 Billy Bear: And my fave, the Party Blow Out.
 Lana: Here it comes.
He blows his nose on the handkerchief and it made different horn noises. Soon, the handkerchief landed on Bonita.
 Billy Bear: Thar she blows.
 Bonita: You are disgusting!
 Billy Bear: Now you’re gettin’ it.
 Bonita: Walter, let’s go!
 Walter: Yes, dear.
 Randy Rabbit: Look! Here comes Betty and the kids! Everyone, act naturally.
The frog trash can coughed up Lily.
 Lori: Lily, this is no time for hide and seek. They’re going to be here any minute.
As they went back to their seat, Lucy scared the trash can by making a scary face. The door opened to show Betty and the Peanuts gang.
 Betty: Good morning, everyone.
The Peanuts kids were running like a crowd as they delivered the scripts to the characters.
 Lincoln: Wow.
Betty saw Randy flat as a pancake from the door.
 Betty: Oh! Randy! Oh, my dear heavens. I didn’t see you there. Oh, sweetheart, I’m so, so sorry.
 Randy Rabbit inflated himself back to normal.
 Betty: That was a good one, guys.
 Lincoln: Can you believe it? We got scripts. From the Peanuts gang. So cool.
 Lynn: Yeah. Amazing when you get scripts handed by comic strip characters.
 Peanuts Kid: Whoops. Sorry. You guys are workers, not comic strip characters. (Takes the Louds’ scripts and gives them cleaning stuff)
 Lincoln: Aw, crud. We’re janitors?
 Little Red: Where’s Garfield? We have a script for him.
 Luan: He went through that door.
Little Red went through the door to see Garfield.
 Little Red: Are you okay, Garfield?
 Garfield: (sighs)
 Little Red: You look depressed.
 Garfield: I prefer to think of it as pensive.
 Little Red: Does it mean being a butt?
 Garfield: I’m just tired of doing the comic strip. Going through the same routine every day. Hearing the same tired jokes every day. Every day. Oh, man. A change of scenery would be wonderful. I need a break.
 Little Red: Is it about Arlene?
 Garfield: This isn’t about Arlene, Little Red. It’s about me.
 Little Red: Of course it has to involve you. I know you’re tired of your job, Garfield, but this is where you belong. This is the world you truly live in. You can’t be famous in another place you’ve never been to before.
 Old Man: Monday roughs!
 Garfield: Oh, how ‘bout that? Time to go to work.
 Old Man: Here you go, madam. (hands Betty the scripts)
 Betty: Oh, thank you. (to the gang) The scripts are here, people! We have a comics page to get out!
 Lincoln: Alright. Let’s see how the magic works here.
They went to the stage room, where the setting is on stage.
 Director: Tempest fusion, people. Today, I need Garfield and Odie.
 Nermal: Are you sure I’m not in the script?
 Director: Did I ask for Nermal to step forward? (to Keith) Keith, did the name ‘Nermal’ escape my lips?
 Keith: I don’t think so.
 Director: There you go. I don’t think so.
 Nermal: Awww.
 Director: Prop boy!
 Prop Boy: Uh, yes. You called, sir?
 Director: The script calls for a bone.
 Prop Boy: A bone. Let’s see. (checks his pockets, but couldn’t find it) Uh, I’ll be back in one second. (runs off and returns with the prop bone. He throws it to Odie, which also attracts the attention of Lana) Hey, don’t get too attached to that bone, you two. It’s the official property of the prop department. I’ll try not stay too attached to the blonde girl over there. (points to Leni with hearts in his eyes) I hope.
 Garfield: Can Jon do my lines today? (yawns) I need a nap.
 Director: How about the sooner I tell you to do, the sooner you get to take a nap.
 Garfield: Why do I put up with this?
 Director: Alright, let’s shoot, people! Eli, bring up the park set!
 Eli: You got it.
He brings up the park set to the stage.
 Director: Are we ready to shoot?
Odie got up on stage, but not Garfield.
 Director: Where is Garfield? (sees Garfield sitting on a box) Garfield, get over here!
 Garfield: (sighs) I really need a break.
He got up on stage.
 Director: Places, people! Action!
 Garfield: Odie and I enjoy each other’s company.
 Director: Take it.
The photo was taken.
 Director: Bring up the roller coaster set.
 Eli: Coming up.
The set became a roller coaster set with a fan in front.
 Director: Action!
 Garfield: Whether it’s going to an amusement park. Whoopee!
 Director: Take it.
Another picture was taken.
 Director: Bring up the kitchen set.
 Eli: Yes, sir.
Garfield and Odie were now on a table in the kitchen set.
 Director: Action!
 Garfield: Or just getting together for kicks. (kicks Odie off the table)
 Director: Take it.
Another picture was taken.
 Director: Perfect.
Odie sneaks off with the prop bone in his mouth.
 Director: That’s a wrap on Garfield. Keep moving, people. We have two more scripts to do.
Garfield went to the same room he went to before. He sees Odie from behind a vending machine.
 Garfield: Sup, dog.
Odie hugs the prop bone.
 Garfield: Aw, you’re in love with the bone.
 Odie: Yeah! Yeah!
 Garfield: And you don’t want the prop boy to take it back.
 Odie: Uh uh.
 Garfield: What would a smart dog do with that bone?
 Odie: I don’t know.
 Garfield: A smart dog would hide it from the prop boy. Good luck.
At the stage, Billy Bear and Randy Rabbit were busy making a comic strip. It had them fishing in a boat.
 Randy Rabbit: Fishing is stupid, Billy.
 Billy Bear: You won’t see that till dinnertime, Randy.
 Director: Take it!
A picture was taken.
 Randy Rabbit: What are we having for dinner?
A shark appeared from the water.
 Director: Take it.
Another photo was taken.
 Billy Bear: Pizza!
 Randy Rabbit: We’re fishing for pizza?
 Director: Take it.
 Billy Bear: Ahhhhh!!
Another photo was taken.
 Director: Perfect. Let’s get everything ready for the Stegmuns.
The shark was Prop Boy in the costume.
 Prop Boy: Was it good for you? ‘Cause I really felt like a shark.
 Director: Yes, kid. You are marvelous. Absolutely marvelous. Keep it moving, people!
In the room, Odie was trying to find a place to hide the prop bone. Lana entered the room.
 Lana: Hey Odie, you missed the second strip. It was hilarious. (gets what Odie’s trying to do) Oh, I see. That Prop Boy wants it back from you. That bone is yours and mine, and we can’t let him take it from us. Try under the table leg.
He tried, but it won’t hide.
 Lana: Behind the Dagwood poster.
He hid it behind the poster, but it fell out. Odie tried the drawer, but the bone was too big. He hid it in the sofa, but it popped out. Prop Boy entered the room, with Leni as the recently hired Prop Girl.
 Odie and Lana: Uh oh.
They figured a way to hide it.
 Leni: I’ve been recently hired as Prop Girl, and it’s my job to detect any missing props in the studio. Do you know a missing prop bone?
 Lana: Not me.
 Odie: (with a bone in his mouth) I don’t know.
 Prop Boy: We are keeping an eye on you two. (he and Leni leave the room)
 Lana: Suckers.
Garfield entered the room where Eli was working.
 Garfield: Hey, Eli.
 Eli: Hey, Garfield.
 Garfield: (yawns) Would you mind if I just slip under your control station for a little nap?
 Eli: Help yourself.
 Garfield: Thanks. (sighs)
 Eli: Maybe a nap will put you in a better mood.
 Garfield: I’m in a rut, Eli. I’m just tired of this job and I’m tired of doing the same thing over and over. I need a change. (presses a button which drops out sets)
 Eli: Garfield, don’t touch that. A lot of people would kill to do what you do. You have adoring fans. You’re a celebrity, man.
 Garfield: Wow, it must be nice.
 Eli: What’s nice?
 Garfield: Sitting around pushing buttons all day.
 Eli: Why do I even talk to you?
Wally and Bonita were now filming a comic strip at a diner.
 Wally: Hey Bonita, why did the existential chicken cross the road?
 Director: Take it!
A picture was taken.
 Bonita: An existential chicken wouldn’t have to cross the road if he didn’t perceive a road, Walter.
 Director: Take it.
Another picture was taken.
 Bonita: Now be a good boy and take out the trash.
 Wally: I don’t perceive any trash, Bonita.
 Director: Take it.
Another picture was taken. Another comic strip made.
 Director: Perfect. That’s a wrap, people. Put it to bed and print it.
 Betty: Aye aye, captain. Right away, sir.
Odie and Lana continued to try to find a way to hide the prop bone. Using it as a chair leg didn’t work, and trying to hide it under a very table did no good. The comic strips were printed in the computer, ready to be sent to the real world.
 Betty: (uses intercom) Attention, Eli. Attention, Eli. The comic strips are ready for transmission. I repeat, the comic strips are ready for transmission.
 Eli: Betty, why do you use the intercom?
 Betty: Oh, well because… (uses intercom) it’s kind of neat. (stops using intercom) That’s why, Eli.
 Eli: Alright. Let’s get the screen ready.
The stage now showed a screen and the place had seats.
 Eli: It’s showtime.
The comic strip was printed and was sent to a newspaper in a place in Indiana. The paper with the comic strip was delivered to a family.
 Father: Smells good, sweetie.
 Mother: Kids, breakfast!
 Father: And the funnies are here!
The kids arrived at the dinner table.
 Father: Alright, let’s see what’s going on at the comics.
At Comix Studios, the cartoon characters were seated.
 Eli: Let’s watch someone read the comics.
He pressed a button to show the father reading the Billy Bear comic to his kids.
 Father: And Billy Bear says ‘Pizza!’ ‘We’re fishing for pizza?’ And what does Billy Bear say?
 Son: Ahhhhhh!
 Billy Bear: Roar! You’ve got it, Rusty! What a great kid. He’s one of my biggest fans.
 Bonita: Oh, give me a break.
 Nermal: Hey Eli, show us some more newspapers.
 Luan Loud: Yeah. Change the channel.
 Eli: Here you go.
The screen switched to a park. It went past a hot dog stand.
 Garfield: Whoa, whoa. Back it up.
The screen showed the hot dog stand.
 Garfield: Eli, look over at the hot dogs and zoom in.
 Eli: You got it, Garfield.
The screen zoomed to some hot dogs.
 Garfield: That is one of the most beautiful sights I’ve ever seen.
Garfield dreamed that he was in a world of hot dogs and condiments.
 Garfield: Oh yeah. That’s beautiful.
He saw the vender rowing a hot dog boat.
 Vender: Here, kitty, kitty. Come on over.
 Garfield: Oh, boy. Yummy.
He went down and ate some hot dogs. Meanwhile, Odie and Lana went through a door to find a hiding place for the prop bone. They hid it at a poster saying ‘do not remove!’
 Lana: (reads sign) Do-not-remove. (stops reading) It says donut remove. Ah well. Let’s put it in.
Odie opened the tear and the prop bone got sucked into the real world. Garfield was still in his hot dog dream when the alarm sounded off.
 Lincoln: What’s going on? (sees prop bone) What’s that doing there?
 Prop Boy: Hey, that’s my bone!
 Leni: So that’s where it is.
 Eli: Ugh. Great.
He opens the curtains to show Odie and Lana near the tear.
 Lana: Uh oh. Busted.
 Eli: Step away from the patch in the screen, you two.
 Odie and Lana: Awww.
 Eli: Everybody stay away from the patch in the screen or you’ll end up in the real world with no way back like Odie and Lana’s bone.
 Luna: Whoa, you can’t go back? I’m staying right here.
 Garfield: The real world. That’s the change I need.
 Eli: Prop boy! Bring me the special tape.
 Prop Boy: Okay, let’s see. (checks his pockets) Uh, just a second. (runs off)
Garfield had snuck into the real world through the tear, but he wasn’t alone. Little Red tried to stop him, but it was too late. They were now in the real world.
 Eli: Garfield!
 Arlene: Garfield?
 Jon: Garfield!
 The Loud kids: Garfield!
 The Peanuts kids: Little Red!
 Donkey: Donkey!
An awkward beat happens in the stage.
 Donkey: Uh… why don’t you guys go ahead. I’ll park the car. (walks out)
 Garfield: Whoa! I’m in the real world! Look, I’m a real cat!
 Little Red: Garfield, what did I tell you?
 Garfield: What are you talking about? This is the real deal. Oh, man. This is just the change I needed. Oh, yes! (smells the air) Wow. What is that smell?
He jumps on the cart and eats some hot dogs.
 Vender: Huh? Get out of here, you crazy cat! Come on! Get out of here!
 Garfield: Hey, I know you people in the real world can’t understand what I’m saying… (vender throws a hot dog at him) I love you, man.
 Vender: Keep that crazy cat to yourself, young lady!
 Little Red: I’ll try.
 Garfield: This is great. No more boring job at the comic. No more slobbering dog to bug me. I’m free to do whatever I want. Oh, wow! Here’s to my new life!
He eats the hot dog in one gulp.
 Little Red: Garfield! Did you realize what you done?
 Garfield: I got the change I needed after all. It’s not so bad.
 Little Red: Not so bad? We can’t get back home to the comic world and you’re just appreciating the real world?! Why is it you never get what I just said to you?
 Linus: Is that Little Red’s dark side?
 Lucy (Peanuts): I’ll just stay away from her when that happens.
 Jon: I don’t believe it. My cat, gone.
 Charlie Brown: What just happened?
 Eli: Alright. Everybody, listen up. This screen separates the comic world from the real world. The comic world is pressurized like an airplane. If you get sucked into the real world, there’s no way back.
 Prop Boy: (arrives with the tape) Special tape.
 Eli: Are there any questions?
The tear sucked up Prop Boy’s props, hitting Garfield on the head in the real world. Eli got him away from the tear.
 Eli: Everybody, stay away from the patch. Got it? Give me the special tape.
Prop Boy hands him the special tape and Eli tapes the patch.
 Eli: I hope you all learned your lesson.
Billy Bear: I think Garfield learned his lesson.
Garfield got a watermelon stuck on his head.
Eli: Garfield’s just getting started on his lesson.
Odie and Lana see the bone in the real world and they ran up to the screen.
Odie: My bone! My bone!
 Lori: You two, that’s the tear! Get away from there!
The Loud kids and Charlie Brown tried to get Odie and Lana away from the tear, but they, with the exception of Lisa, got sucked in. Odie’s arrival broke the watermelon off Garfield’s head.
 Garfield: Odie? Kids? Oh no, you don’t. You’re not gonna ruin my life. You can go right back where you came from.
 Little Red: But Garfield, didn’t you remember-
 Garfield: (grabs Odie and Lana) See you in the funny papers, you two.
He threw them to the newspaper, but they were still in the real world.
 Garfield: That didn’t work. There must be an easier way to sending you and the gang back, Odie.
Arlene got off her seat.
 Jon: Where are you going, Arlene?
 Arlene: I’m going to join Garfield.
 Nermal: Oh no, you’re not. We have a strip to do, lady.
 Lisa: And if you go there, you can’t return.
 Jon: They’re right. This is where we belong. Garfield, too. He’s just a little confused right now. And if you stay, Garfield will have one more reason to find a way back.
 Arlene: Oh, he better come back.
 Lisa: Good luck, my siblings.
While our heroes were in New York, something was spying them from the sewers of two gray Smurf-like creatures.
 Snowball: Is the cat out of the bag, my little Naughties?
 ???: (uses the periscope and sees the street) Hackus not see anything.
 ??? 2: Give me that. (Uses the periscope and sees Garfield and the Louds in the park) Ah. The cat is out of the bag, along with some kids.
 Snowball: It’s those kids from Jurassic World that killed my drug dealer! They’re with that cat. First, they arrive at the island, now here. What do they have? A million dollars? It’s time we call in… the Dazzlings!
Three girls entered by the call of Snowball.
 Snowball: These, my Naughties, are the Dazzlings. Adagio, Aria, and Sonata. Remember the Nexus incident back at New Townsville? During one of the attacks, these three girls used to be some weird guy’s pets till got splattered by the blood of a fallen Nexus causing them you be turned into these humans which gave them super crazy abilities, and now they work with us.
 Aria Blaze: What’s our first mission?
 Snowball: You see those kids and the cat? That’s your target.
 Adagio Dazzle: Oh, those kids. That’s the white-haired boy and the rock n roll sister that assisted those three girls, a dog, and his hippie owner when the first Nexus infected a student.
 Snowball: Exactly. That’s where you come in. Use your weird nexi magic to destroy them. Go ‘zap zap’ up their-
 Sonata Dusk: We get it, Snowball. Of course we’ll do it.
 Aria Blaze: It better be worth it.
 Adagio Dazzle: We’ll have them being taken care of and then you let us in your club to get rid of those annoying Equestria girls!
 Snowball: Girls, I cannot lie. But I promise you that once you’re done with them, you can be one of us!
The Flushed Pets cheered but little did they know that Snowball has his fingers crossed behind his back. In the park…
 Garfield: Well, kids, looks like I’m stuck with you. Let’s find some real food to eat.
They walked out to find some grub.
 Jon: Eli, we lost them!
 Eli: Don’t worry. It’ll just take me a second to find them.
The screen switched to another location that showed the gang.
 Eli: There we go.
 Garfield: Come on, Odie.
The prop bone in Odie’s mouth attracted the attention of some chihuahuas.
 Lana: You know what they say, when someone sees something you have, run.
Lana and Odie ran away as the chihuahuas chased after them.
 Garfield: We should have found a buffet by now.
A trash can moved about and a voice came out.
 ???: This is the buffet, pal.
 Lynn: I didn’t know the real world have talking trash cans.
 Luan: Looks like ‘trash talks’ after all. (giggles) Get it?
A cat popped out of the trash can.
 Cat: I ain’t no trash can, fellas. You must not be from this neighborhood.
 Garfield: We’re not from this world. I’m Garfield the Cat. You know, from the comic strip? And these are the Louds kids, Charlie Brown, and Little Red. Yeah, there were 11 eleven Loud kids, but Lisa got left out.
 Cat: Uh, right. Your dog friend and that kid in the overalls must be Odie and Lana.
 Garfield: Hey guys, a fan.
The two were on top of a fountain with the chihuahuas at the bottom.
 Lincoln: Looks like they made some new friends.
 Cat: Well, I’m Shecky.
 Garfield: Glad to meet you, Shecky. So, uh, when do they serve dinner around here?
Back in the studio…
 Jon: How are we going to have a funny comic strip without our star? We need a funny cat.
 Nermal: Hey, hey, hey. What am I, chopped liver? First, we’ll change the name of the strip to Nermal. The hilarious adventures of a wacky kitten and his slow-witted, but well meaning sidekick Arlene. What do you say?
 Arlene: Let me at him! I’ll kill him! I’m gonna kill him! (Randy and Billy rein her back)
 Nermal: Arlene, chill, babe. Just trying to help.
 Lisa: (fake laughs) Heh heh, (talks to a skeleton) this Toon needs to be sent in a straight jacket for coming up with an idea like that.
Back in the real world, Odie and Lana were trying to hide from the chihuahuas. They hid from pole to pole until they found each other. They ran off once again.
 Shecky: Oh, me and my buddies are going to a dinner and a show. Wanna come?
 Garfield: Uh, yeah. Sure. Just as soon as I help those two out of this situation. Hey guys, throw me the bone!
Lana throws the bone to Garfield and the chihuahuas followed him. He lured them to a hole in the tree, hindering the chase.
 Garfield: If there’s more than one way to skin a dog. Phew. Wow. Now that’s a calorie burner. Here you go, guys. (gives the bone to Odie and Lana) The real world is certainly more exciting than the comic world.
 Shecky: Uh, sure. Whatever. Hey, the show begins soon.
 Garfield: Sounds good. Lead on, Mr. Shecky.
That night, they went to an alley.
 Shecky: Here we are, everyone.
 Garfield: Wow.
 Shecky: Yarkey!
Another cat and a dog appeared from the trash cans.
 Dog and Cat: Yarkey!
 Shecky: This is Waldo. He’s not as bright as he looks.
 Waldo: Uh, thank you.
 Shecky: And this is Sheila.
 Sheila: Cheers, luvs.
 Shecky: I’d want her covering my back in any cat fight. Guys, this is the Loud kids, Charlie Brown, Little Red, Garfield, and Odie. You know, the comic strip characters? Wink wink.
 Waldo: Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! I love you guys. I read you all the time. Just most of the pictures, you know.
 Garfield: Why, thank you.
 Sheila: Ello, ello. Your call in the cute, darling.
The cartoon characters watched on the screen.
 Arlene: What?! You want cute, lady? I’ll give you cute!
 Eli: Uh oh.
 Shecky: Welcome to Club Shecky. This is where we come for dinner and a show.
 Little Red: How do you get dinner?
 Shecky: We put on a show and people throw dinner at us.
 Lincoln: This I gotta see.
 Shecky: Allow me to demonstrate.
He got a baseball mitt.
 Shecky: Okay Waldo, this course is yours.
 Waldo: (gets the mitt) Oh, goody, goody!
 Shecky: (gets on the fence) Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Our first performer this evening is none other than the man himself. Please welcome… Shecky! Thank you! Thank you! It’s great to be back at Club Shecky. You know, a funny thing happened on the way to the fence tonight. I was run over by a milk truck. That’s the first time the drinks were ever on me! (drum sounds) Thank you. Thank you. For my first number…
 Man: Hey, be quiet! We’re trying to sleep up here!
 Shecky: I’d like to sing something for my latest album.
 Woman: Shut up, you stupid cat!
 Shecky: Get ready. Here comes dinner. It goes something like this. (singing) You only got me when you got me! You only squeeze me when you squeeze me!
 Vender: Hey, knock it off!
The people in the apartment threw food at the cat.
 Shecky: Thank you! I love you all! (to Waldo) How’d you do, Waldo?
 Waldo: We did great. We got a bone with a little turkey on it. And there’s a sardine left in this can. All kinds of good stuff.
 Shecky: Okay. Garfield, it’s your-
 Garfield: Out of my way, amateur.
 Shecky: Uh, there are a couple of things you really should know.
 Garfield: Shecky, let’s not keep my fans waiting.
 Shecky: Okay. Break a leg.
 Charlie Brown: Good grief.
Garfield got up on the fence.
 Shecky: Our next performer is a comic’s comic. Please put your paws together for Garfield!
 Garfield: Good evening, ladies and- (gets hit by a shoe)
 Shecky: You got to bob and weave out there, Garfield. A moving target is harder to hit.
 Garfield: Hey, I know how to handle a rowdy crowd. (gets back up)
 Shecky: A smaller target would be harder to hit, too.
 Garfield: As I was saying, good e-(gets hit by another shoe) I’m seriously considering retiring from showbiz.
 Shecky: It’s dinner time.
 Garfield: Hey, you know I think you’re kind of cute, too.
 Arlene: What?
 Sheila: Oh Garfield, really?
 Garfield: Oh, yeah. Say, are you gonna finish that fish?
 Sheila: (bares her claws) Touch it and I’ll break your arm, loverboy.
 Arlene: Just like a man. He’s true to his stomach than he is to me.
The gang walked through the streets.
 Sheila: Well, we’re home. See you, mates.
 Waldo: Good night, guys.
 Shecky: Night, Sheila.
 Garfield: Good night.
They went to a closed down hotel to sleep for the night.
 Odie: Wow.
 Lincoln: Well, there’s plenty of room.
 Shecky: You’ll have to excuse the mess. I gave the cleaning lady the week off. Oh, and the elevator is temporarily out of service. Oh, watch out for that step.
Garfield almost fell into a hole.
 Garfield: You mean this step?
 Shecky: Yeah, that’s the one.
Garfield got back up and walked.
 Shecky: I know it’s a bit of a climb, but the view was worth it.
 Garfield: Tell that to my legs. And my back. And my feet. And my... (sighs in exhaustion)
They went into an empty room.
 Garfield: Nice. A room with a view. And well-ventilated, too.
 Lola: Could use some remodeling.
 Shecky: My dump is your dump.
 Garfield: You wouldn’t happen to have anything to eat?
 Shecky: Nope.
 Garfield: (sees a coffee cup) Is that coffee?
 Shecky: Probably, but it’s been sitting there for a while.
 Garfield: That’s the way I like it.
He drinks it and he burps up a steam.
 Garfield: Yeah.
 Shecky: What just happened?
 Garfield: What do you mean?
 Shecky: Your head?
 Garfield: What about it?
 Shecky: Oh, never mind. (yawns) I think I need to get some sleep. See you in the morning.
 Garfield: Good night. (puts a newspaper over Odie) There you go, buddy. Today’s just our first day in the real world. Tomorrow will be a better day, you’ll see.
It started to rain and the water went through the building.
 Garfield: Well, great. Good night, Arlene.
 Arlene: Good night, Garfield. Sleep well.
Everyone went to sleep.
The next morning…
 Shecky: Top of the morning to you, guys. Hungry?
 Lori: Is it a trick question?
 Shecky: What say we go to the park for a little dumpster diving before the trash collectors show up?
 Lori: (sarcastic) Sounds good.
 Garfield: Every time I think I’ve hit bottom, someone hands me a shovel.
 Lana: (gives him a shovel) Here you go.
 Garfield: Thanks.
At the park, Garfield found a newspaper in the trash.
 Garfield: Hey Odie. Let’s see how the folks back home are furring with our strip.
Odie and Lana got down, only to be chased by the same chihuahuas from the park.
 Lana: Well, Yipe again! (she and Odie run away)
Garfield checks the newspaper, only to discover bad news.
 Garfield: What?! They’re cancelling my strip?! They can’t do that! This wasn’t supposed to happen.
 Bonita: It’s all your fault, traitor!
 Little Red: Now do you believe what I said?
 Garfield: Only half of it. (sees something else) Hey. The newspaper’s having a contest to replace my strip. Hey guys, I have an idea. The kids, Odie, and I will go to the newspaper contest to make sure they don’t replace my strip.
 Waldo: What’s he doing?
 Shecky: That is one crazy cat.
 Garfield: All you guys have to do is figure out a way to get us back home. See you there.
 Jon: We can do this, guys.
 Billy Bear: That’s the spirit, Garfield!
 Wally: Good luck at the newspaper contest.
 Arlene: We’re here for you, Garfield.
 Garfield: Let’s go, Odie. Odie?
 Lincoln: Lana?
The two ran up the pole with the chihuahuas following them. Soon, they got off the pole, launching the chihuahuas in the air and back into holes. Meanwhile in the cartoon world...
 Jon: We’re here to come up with a plan to Garfield, Odie, and the kids back. Don’t be afraid to speak up. Remember, there are no bad ideas.
 Wally: Me! Me! Me!
 Jon: Yes, Wally?
 Wally: What if we built a device? An inter-dimensional escape hatch that would pass through the screen, equalize the pressure-
 Bonita: We don’t have to excuse Walter. He’s given two flights a fancy. Walter dear, your silly dream for inventions have never worked and they never will.
 Wally: Yes, dear.
 Lisa: That might work at the end. Unless any care for other options. (Sees a guy raising his hand) Yes, you there.
 Random Guy: Can we kill all the mexicans on Christmas?
 Lisa: No.
 Jon: Okay. Any more ideas? Anyone? Ugh.
In the real world, Odie and Lana were chased by chihuahuas until Garfield kicked a trash can and the chihuahuas ran into it. He kicked it down the river.
 Garfield: Have a nice day. (to Odie and Lana) Done playing with our little friends, are we?
 Odie and Lana: Uh huh.
 Garfield: Good. Now let’s go tell the newspaper that we’re going home.
 Lincoln: And Lana, you are not a dog.
 Lana: What? No I’m not.
They went off to the newspaper building.
 Garfield: This is it. Let’s go, guys.
They went in but they were followed by three mysterious girls.
 Aria Blaze: They’re trying to get themselves uncanceled.
 Adagio Dazzle: We’ll see about that. Is the girl with you, Dusk?
 Sonata Dusk: I got her alright.
With Sonata was Ronnie Anne.
 Ronnie Anne: Uh, what is it you brought me here for again?
 Adagio Dazzle: You’re here to have fun with us. We’re your friends. And we have some things to do. It involves that boy and his sisters with the cat.
In the newspaper building, people lined up to have their comic shown to the judges and see if it can replace Garfield or not.
 Man: This is my comic strip, Dicky Dot. I think he’s relevant and quite humoresque.
 Judge 1: Unlike you.
 Judge 2: Next.
The man left and another came with a puppet head of himself.
 Judge 1: Let me guess. Siamese twins, right?
 Man 2: Right.
 Puppet Head: Right.
 Judge 3: Funny.
 Judge 1: Sad.
 Judge 3: Funny, in a sad sort of way.
 Judge 1: Take your ugly friend home.
 Man 2: But he’s not ugly.
 Judge 1: I wasn’t talking to you.
 Judge 2: Next.
A flower girl came in, throwing petal everywhere while singing.
 Judge 2: Next.
Garfield and the gang hid behind a stand.
 Lisa: There they are.
 Garfield: We just gotta get up there and show them we’re back.
A punk came in to show the comic strip he made.
 Punk: Okay. So, like, this is really funny. Like, when people die, my people, like, takes them away.
 Judge 1: So, like, why don’t you go away?
 Judge 2: Next!
The punk ran off crying.
 Judge 1: What else have we got?
Garfield jumped onto the table.
 Garfield: Good afternoon, folks.
 Judge 1: Who are these guys?
 Judge 3: I don’t see them on the list.
 Garfield: See the resemblance?
 Judge 1: Hey, they do kind of look like them.
 Garfield: That’s because it is me. We’re pleased to announce that we’re ready to go back to work.
Odie hopped onto the table.
 Judge 3: What’s with that dog’s tongue?
 Judge 2: Must be some sort of a glandular condition.
 Judge 3: Not a very dignified representative of the canine fo-
 Garfield: Hey, can a real cat do this? (does a dance)
 Judge 1: Hey, that cat has one big belly on him.
 Judge 2: It would set a bad example of the overweight of the youth.
 Judge 3: Can’t have that.
 Garfield: Hold on. Hold on. We are the real Garfield and Odie. And to leave no doubt in your mind, we will now perform our classic gag from our comic strip. Odie, if you please. You know, folks, a day without kicking Odie off the table is like a day without… (kicks Odie off the table) sunshine.
 Judge 3: That cat just kicked that dog off that table.
 Judge 2: Oh, the horror! How violent!
 Garfield: Hey, lighten up, lady. Nobody gets hurt in a comic strip. Right, Odie? (checks Odie who’s really hurt) Oops, sorry, Odie. I didn’t know you could really get hurt in the real world.
Odie had bones spinning on his head.
 Judge 3: Uh, we’ve seen quite enough.
 Garfield: Did I mention we work for scale?
 Judge 2: Next.
 Garfield: But you’re making a big mistake.
 Judge 2: Next!
 Garfield: (sighs and gets off the table)
 Arlene: They can’t do that!
 Eli: This does not go well.
 Lincoln: This. Sucks. Can it get any worse?
It did. For another man came in.
 Man 3: Sid, Bobby, Eric. Mike here. I have for you today a licensing phenomenon destined to take the publishing biz by storm. Introducing Hale and Hardy!
A muscular cat and dog came in. They were Hale and Hardy. The judges are impressed as the animals flexed their muscles.
 Charlie Brown: Good grief.
 Lynn: Quoth the Raven, oh no bro.
 Garfield: We’re toast.
 Mike: These boys are positive, appealing, and can generate licensing income for your newspaper.
The people in the cartoon world: They’re toast.
 Mike: These two can have your fat lazy readers dieting and exercising in no time flat. Imagine dieting with (shows the judges a picture) Hale and Hardy Mineral Water. Imagine exercising with… (shows another picture)
 Judge 2: Hale and Hardy Leotards!
 Mike: And.. (shows another picture)
 Judge 3: Hale and Hardy dumbbells!
 Mike: In one of your franchise, Hale and Hardy Wellness Center.
 Judges: Ooooh.
 Lincoln: I thought it was an audition, not a commercial.
 Garfield: But are they funny?
 Mike: Well, what do you think?
 Judge 2: I think we have our new comic strip. Hale and Hardy!
 Garfield: I can’t believe this is happening.
 Hale: Oh, believe it, tubby.
 Mike: I just happen to have a contract right here.
 Lincoln: Don’t do it! That cat before them is Garfield!
 Judge 1: The kid’s right. Garfield was the best comic strip we’ve ever had. I’m gonna give him one last chance.
 Lincoln: Yes!
 Judge 1: If the strip isn’t back in the paper in 24 hours, we’ve got a deal with Hale and Hardy.
 Mike: No problemo. We’ll see you tomorrow.
 Judge 2: Sid, you can’t be serious. You don’t honestly think that cat and that dog are really Garfield and Odie.
 Sid: At my age, nothing surprises me. Humor me. The Garfield strip has one more day to make it back.
 Garfield: Yes, sir! You the man, Sid! You the man! (sings) We’re in the comics! We’re in the comics!
 Hardy: That strip is ours!
 Garfield: Sorry, Muscles for Brains, but our strip is going back into the papers tomorrow.
 Hale: We’ll see about that.
 Hardy: Dog abuser! (he and Hale laugh)
 Garfield: Losers. (blows raspberries at them) Come on, guys. We gotta find a way back home.
 Judge 2: Let's just see who’s next on the list. (Checks the list and sees the Dazzlings’ name on it) Next!
The gang went back to the park to try to find a way back into the cartoon world.
 Garfield: Comic world, here we come! On your mark. Get set. Go!
The gang ran to the newspaper, only to jump through it, not sending them to the cartoon world. The next attempt was to jump from the fence.
 Garfield: On your mark. Get set. Leap!
They jumped and they fell on the newspaper. It still didn’t work. Their third attempt was by being flattened by a steamroller.
 Luan: This better work.
 Garfield: It’ll work, Luan. Because if it doesn’t, at least no one will doubt our courage. (sees the steamroller heading towards them) Or our stupidity. We’re outta here! (leaps out of the way) That was close, guys. Guys? Guys! Oh no. (Sees Luan flatten like a pancake) Huh? (sees the others alive)
 Luan: Guess I’m just a ‘flat character.’ (giggles) Get it? No? Can anyone get me back to normal?
 Garfield: It’s not working. Nothing’s working.
 Shecky: Come on, Garfield. It’s time to go.
 Garfield: We gotta figure out a way to get back to the comic world.
 Shecky: Well, my door is always open.
 Sheila: Uh, good luck getting back into the paper.
 Waldo: Yeah, good luck.
 Garfield: Luck’s all we have left. (sees a newspaper) Hello? Anybody home?
 Arlene: Just us Toons.
 Garfield: Oh, we’ve tried everything we’ve known to get back and nothing works. I need some help here. I didn’t know if you’re watching this paper.
 Arlene: Wait! (gives him a rose through the tear)
 Garfield: Arlene, Eli, everybody, including Little Red, I’m sorry. I can’t believe I ever gave a thought to coming. You know what? This isn’t the real world. Reality is where your heart is. And my heart is with the comics. With you guys. If there’s a way back, I promise you I’ll find it.
 Arlene: Good night, Garfield.
 Eli: Looks like you finally got it figured out, Garfield.
Garfield sees a lady playing an accordion and he gets an idea.
 Garfield: Everyone, I have an idea.
He gets the newspaper and shows the gang the accordion.
 Garfield: Odie, hold up the paper. (to Eli) Eli, I hope you’re watching, because I need you to get to Wally.
 Leni: And get Lisa, too. She’s an inventor.
 Lucy: Better hurry though. No time to waste.
 Eli: (uses intercom) Wally, Lisa, come to the screen immediately. Wally, Lisa, come to the screen.
 Garfield: That was the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard.
 Girl: Hey, kitty.
 Garfield: Wally, Lisa, are you there?
 Lisa: Loud and clear.
 Wally: Mostly.
 Garfield: This could be our way back.
 Wally: What do you mean?
 Garfield: Remember your concertina? The one you rigged to steal Bonita’s cookies?
 Bonita: What?!
 Garfield: Make a bigger one to rescue us. Put doors on each end and stretch it to the screen like this.
 Wally: Of course. It could work. It’s brilliant!
 Bonita: You stole my cookies!
 Wally: But we need materials. We need people with tools.
 Bonita: My cookies!?
 Lisa: Come on, everyone. Let’s get to work.
 Garfield: Well, Odie, it’s out of our hands now. Oh, and nice work on the arpeggios there.
 Girl: Bye.
That night…
 Wally: Tires. We need four tires.
The Toons got four tires from Jon’s car.
 Jon: My car! (faints)
 Lisa: Bring us some folding doors you can find.
They got the folding doors, including one for Dagwood’s bathroom.
 Randy Rabbit: Hey, Dagwood.
Back at the real world, the gang headed back to the hotel.
 Ronnie Anne: Wait! There’s something I need to tell you!
 Lincoln: Ronnie? What are you doing here?
 Ronnie Anne: Your old enemy, the rabbit, he’s in the real world, too. Seeking revenge.
 Lori: Not again. What’s he doing, following us?
 Ronnie Anne: He’s got three girls and let me tell you, they’re not the Powerpuff kind.
 Leni: Three girls. Three girls. Who are they again?
 Ronnie Anne: The point is, you have to get back to the cartoon world and fast. Right now, they’re scheming with Hale and Hardy to dispose of you.
 Garfield: Oh, no. As if we didn’t have any problems.
 Lincoln: We’ll be fine, Ronnie. This abandoned hotel is the last place anyone would look for us. Well, time to head back.
The heroes headed back to the hotel, unaware that they were followed.
 Garfield: Hey, Shecky.
 Shecky: Did you give up on that crazy plan of yours?
 Garfield: No, things are working out fine. We’re just a little tired. There you go, puppy. We had quite an adventure back in the real world. But tomorrow will be a better day and we’ll back home, and our strip will be back in the paper.
As he blew out the candle, they were ambushed and tied up from the ceiling.
 Hardy: For once you are right kitty cat. Tomorrow will be a better day. For us. (he and Hale laugh)
 Dazzlings: Not so fast, muscle pets!
Suddenly, the Flushed Pets and the Dazzlings arrived through the window.
 Hale: What in New Zealand are you doing here? We’re here first.
 Snowball: That strip is mine, steroid heads! Throw them out!
The Dazzlings threw them out the window.
 Leni: What do you know? Those girls helped us. (to the Dazzlings) So, like, can you get us down from here?
Adagio Dazzle: Get you down? Ha ha, no. Guess you don’t know us more than you think. We're known as the Dazzlings. Once we were pets and now we’ve been infected with Nexus blood.
 Lincoln: Uh… I don’t know how you girls have been rockstars? I never heard of the Dazzlings being born after the Nexus invasion.
 Adagio Dazzle: Then maybe a little flashback would rejog your memory. A few days ago, after your big battle against GBF Jr.
The flashback shows after the Nexus were being sucked into the portal in the final battle when a soldier uses his gun to fire some nexus. The blood went out of New Townsville and was heading to the UK. Meanwhile, somewhere in abandoned factory, there was a man feeding his three horse-like siren fishes in a fish tank.
 Otto: (flashback) Alright, you little fishes. Its feeding time. Oh I wish you girls were human. That will make me so proud to see you all human like. (Hears something) What is that noise?
Suddenly, the blood burst through as Otto sees it and screams. He moves out of the way and the blood landed on the fish tank. The blood then absorbs the fishes and they starts to mutate into humans which cause the tank to break from their transformation. Otto was surprised that their fishes have became humans.
 Adagio Dazzle: (voice over) From that moment on, we were no longer fishes. We were the Dazzlings!
The flashback ends.
 Lincoln: Whoa. That explains a lot about what you girls are.
 Aria Blaze: And since those “Equestria Girls” ruined our job and throw Otto in jail, this comic strip is the only way to get our fame back.
 Sonata Dusk: I thought is was going to be Snowball’s strip? (Aria smacks her on the head) Ow!
Adagio Dazzle: Actually, when we heard about the strip, we had a little… change of plan.
And no fat cat nor high volume kid is going to destroy our chance.
 Snowball: Actually…
The Dazzlings saw Showball with Vexy and Hackus about to burn the hotel.
 Snowball: You aren't in my strip, girls. Now!
 Sonata Dusk: (flatly) What?
The Naughties threw the candle at an inconvenient pile of flammable stuff and the house was burning as the Flushed Pets and the Naughties escaped.
 Sonata Dusk: Betrayed by our hirers. It just gets better and better.
 Adagio Dazzle: At least they’ll die in this hotel.
 Ronnie Anne: Hey, what are you doing?
 Aria Blaze: Giving them a present. A hot one, indeed.
 Luan: Hey! I make the puns here! When I get out of this rope, I’ll prank you so hard!
 Ronnie Anne: You lied to me. Why?
 Adagio Dazzle: Sometimes, friends have their skeletons in the closet. Now leave, you worthless excuse of a dumb and naive child.
Ronnie Anne ran off crying, betrayed by her so-called friends.
 Sonata Dusk: Why is she running off to her mommy?
 Aria Blaze: Because she’s useless anyways.
 Lincoln: Wait. I thought she was tied up with us?
 Aria Blaze: Oh, that. We tricked her into being our friend to lure you into our trap. Now that she and those fuzzballs are out of the way, it’ll be our time to get back what you took from us.
 Lori: You do realize you’re trapped here with us, right?
 Adagio Dazzle: Right. Well, we’ll see you when you’re turned to dust.
 Lincoln: Lincoln: But this whole building is coming down and you girls will die with us. Not to mention your powers will not work in this fire. Turns out we learned that during our rescue trip to Jurassic World that fire is one of the weaknesses to an alien parasite.
The Dazzlings soon laughed at that moment.
 Lincoln: What’s so funny?
 Adagio Dazzle: (stops laughing) Oh, you think that fire was one of our weakness? Kid, you don't know everything about us. Girls, let’s leave them be.
They soon fly through from the building.
 Lincoln: (breaks the fourth wall) I have never seen a moment extremely anti-climatic in my entire life.
 Garfield: Don’t worry, we have a plan with the comic characters back home.
 Shecky: Knock it off, Garfield. This is serious.
 Garfield: No, really. They’re gonna rescue us. Unless, of course, we die first.
 Lincoln: Let's hope Lisa and Wally hurry up!
Back in the cartoon world…
 Eli: Let’s see what Garfield’s up to.
The screen showed Garfield and the gang tied up in the burning hotel.
 Eli: What?! (uses intercom) Attention. Everyone to the screen. Everyone to the screen. This is an emergency!
The Toons saw what’s on the screen.
 Arlene: (gasps) Oh no! I’m going through the screen! I don’t care if I ever make it back!
 Jon: No, you’re not! We’re going to rescue them with Lisa and Wally’s machine. Right, guys?
 Billy Bear: Yeah, guys.
 Lisa: But it’s not done yet.
 Jon: So let’s finish it.
 Lisa: But we don’t know if it works.
 Eli: There’s no time for that now.
 Billy Bear: You two are amazing!
 Wally: Us?
 Randy Rabbit: They’re gonna save the day! You’re gonna be heroes!
 Wally: Us? Heroes?
 Lisa: Doors! We need two doors!
The Toons got two bathroom doors, and the invention was done.
 Wally: Ladies and gentlemen, we present the Bonitanator!
The contraption entered the scene, looking like an accordion with a metal blade on top.
 Bonita: You don’t expect it to work, do you?
 Lisa: You’re about to find out.
 Wally: Move the Bonitanator into position, men.
 Billy Bear: Okey doke.
Billy and Randy moved the machine in position with the screen.
 Wally: Hold it, dear.
 Bonita: Why did you name it the Bonitanator, Walter?
 Wally: Because the blade on the front reminds me of that big honking nose of yours, dear. Now, we have a job to do. And by the way, I did steal your cookies.
 Bonita: Oh, Wally, you are so… so forceful.
The screen went to a different position.
 Jon: What are you doing?
 Eli: It’s too dangerous to send you guys into the hotel. If the paper you go through burns up, there’s no way back. I’m trying to find a safer paper out in the street.
The position was now in front of the hotel, away from the fire.
 Eli: There we go.
 Wally: Anchor down the back end of the Bonitanator.
Prop Boy anchors the back end of the Bonitanator.
 Wally: We need six volunteers. I’m one.
 Jon: I’m two.
 Arlene: I’m three.
 Billy Bear: I’m three. This calls for a small back, Arlene.
 Lisa: I’m four. But what of the remaining two?
 Linus: (raised his hand) I’ll go. Out there is my best friend in that burning hotel. Peanuts wouldn’t be the same without him.
 Lucy (Peanuts): I’m coming, too. You’re my responsibility after all. And yes, what he says is true. We can’t have a comic strip without Good Ol’ Charlie Brown.
 Wally: Let’s go, everyone.
They entered the Bonitanator.
 Lisa: Push us through the screen!
The Toons pushed the Bonitanator through the screen and into the real world. The tear was sucking up things from the cartoon world, but it was taped up before it could do trouble.
 Billy Bear: Wow. We made it.
 Lisa: So this is the real world?
 Lucy (Peanuts): I expect it to be bigger.
 Jon: Wow.
 Ronnie Anne: Guys! There’s an emergency in the hotel!
 Lisa: It’s on fire with our friends in there. We know. And you’ve been played a fool by those three Nexus blood-infected girls.
 Ronnie Anne: Lincoln and his sisters are out there, tied up! And so are a boy and a little red-haired girl.
 Linus: That’s Charlie Brown and Little Red!
 Wally: Let’s go, everyone!
They ran to the hotel, where the doors were barred shut.
 Jon: It’s stuck.
 Billy Bear: Step aside. This is a job for a big bear.
He ran towards the door, but he hit it, which didn’t break.
 Billy Bear: Wow. That’s definitely not a comic door.
 Wally: Look. (pulls off planks from part of a building) This way.
The gang, along with Ronnie Anne, crawled through the hole and into the building. They arrived at the room the others were captured.
 Lisa: We’re here to rescue you!
 Garfield: We knew you guys would come.
 Billy Bear: That’s right.
 Shecky: Hey! You’re Billy Bear!
 Billy Bear: That’s my name. Don’t wear it out.
 Shecky: And you must be Linus and Lucy from Peanuts and the final girl is Lisa.
 Linus: Yep.
 Lucy (Peanuts): You’re looking at us.
 Shecky: You are cartoon characters.
The gang freed the heroes.
 Billy Bear: You’re darn tootin’ (blows a horn through his handkerchief)
 Shecky: Wow. What’s Snoopy really like?
 Charlie Brown: A beagle.
 Leni: A kid with a big nose.
 Lincoln: Less comedy, more running.
 Arlene: Hurry, guys. Hurry.
Now, our heroes must find a way out of the burning hotel. They ran for the exit, but some burning planks blocked it.
 Lynn: What do we do now?
 Shecky: Fear not, gents. We can ride through the flames in this handy trash car. It may be rusty, but I assure you, it’s fireproof.
 Billy Bear: Everybody, climb in.
Odie and Lana realized something.
 Odie: My bone! My bone!
 Lana: Our bone!
They hopped out of the cart to look for the prop bone.
 Lincoln: Come back here, you two.
 Billy Bear: Here we go!
The planks falling from above caused the bone to pop out in the air. Odie and Lana ran after it.
 Garfield: (slow motion) Odie!
 Lincoln: (slow motion) Lana!
The two caught the prop bone and they fell on a chandelier.
 Garfield: Odie!
 Odie: Ta da!
 Lincoln: Swing the chandelier, you two. We’ll grab you from the second floor balcony. Let’s do this.
 Billy Bear: Heads down, everyone. Here we go!
The gang went down the balcony, while Odie and Lana managed to swing the chandelier.
 Garfield: Odie! Lana! Grab our hands!
The two grabbed hands, but they took Garfield and Lincoln with them.
 Lincoln: You were supposed to let go of the chandelier.
 Jon: Garfield, swing to the main staircase! We’ll grab you there.
 Garfield: Come on, guys. We got a cart to catch.
They swung on the chandelier, as it was about to break.
 Garfield: You know, this isn’t working out as planned. Hold on, guys.
He saw the cart heading for them.
 Garfield: Need a lift?
They took hands and they got down to the cart.
 Lincoln: Eh, just a suggestion, but all those in favor of not crashing to our death, say aye.
 All: Aye!!!!!!
The cart burst out of the hotel and the gang got inside the Bonitanator and left the real world, as the newspaper turns to dust. They made it back to the cartoon world alive.
 Wally: We did it!
 Toons: Yay!
 Bonita: Oh, Wally. My hero!
Prop Boy saw Odie and Lana with the prop bone.
 Leni: You still have that bone, didn’t you?
 Lana: Uh... no?
 Shecky: Look out, comic world. Here I come.
 Ronnie Anne: So this is the comic world. I like it.
Garfield got out of the Bonitanator and saw Arlene, who at first slaps him, but kisses him.
 Arlene: I love you, Garfield. Don’t you ever leave me again.
 Garfield: Boy, am I glad you don’t hate me.
 Betty: Little Red! Thank goodness you’re okay! (hugs her)
 Lori: Wait, so you’re telling us that Little Red is your niece?
 Betty: That’s right.
 Lincoln: (his head turns into M. Night Shyamalan) What a twist!
The next morning, Hale and Hardy were busy in the dump.
 Hardy: There’s nothing to eat in this lousy trash can.
 Hale: I’m so hungry I could cry,
 Hardy: Don’t be such a girly dog. (points to the paper) Look. That should be us.
 Hale: Yeah. And then we wouldn’t be so hungry.
 Hardy: It's all that bunny’s fault.
 Hale: Your fault!
 Hardy: No! Your fault! And that bunny too.
They beat each other up. Meanwhile in the park, Sheila and Waldo read the newspaper.
 Sheila: Well, would you look at that. (points to Shecky in the newspaper) Shecky finally made it big in entertainment.
 Waldo: Aww. Who’s gonna sing for food on the fence now?
 Sheila: How does this sound? Sheila and the Sheilettes. Got a ring, eh? You can wear a dress and sing backup for me.
 Waldo: We’re gonna starve.
Back in the cartoon world...
 Lincoln: Comic party!
 Garfield: Hit it, Eli!
 Eli: You got it, Garfield.
He pressed the party button and soon, a party came on. Everyone danced to the music in the studio. Odie and Lana were busy trying to hide the bone once again. Unfortunately, the Bonitanator picked up some uninvited guests: the same chihuahuas from the park. They chased the two around in the studio. It had been another adventure for Lincoln and his sisters.
The Loud kids returned to their house, where they found a letter.
 Lincoln: Hey girls, there’s this letter on the table.
 Lori: Well then, let’s see what it says.
Lincoln opens the letter. It said ‘Dear Loud Kids, we’re going to have a vacation in Japan to visit the Tokyo Museum of Ancient History. It is heard that an exhibit for an ancient sword is being held there. Please come meet us, so we can have our vacation. The others are here with us. Signed, the Powerpuff Girls Z.’
 Luna: Dudes, the Powerpuff Girls Z want us to go to Japan!
 Lincoln: That would be amazing!
 Lana: I’ll get my things!
 Leni: I need my makeup!
As the Loud kids packed, Lisa had something in her pocket that she picked up from the streets in the real world. It was a Joker card.
 Lisa: Now, who would leave a playing card out in the real world? Guess we’ll never know.
The kids went on a bus to get to the airport. Little did they know, in another place…
 ???: So, your marketing idea was a bomb. The cat and dog got back in.
 Mike: It’s not my fault. I don’t even know how they got back.
 ???: Blah blah blah blah blah Die! (Pressed a button for trap door and Mike fell) Another failure out the door. They’ll never be able to have a smile on their face. No matter, it's time to get a samurai Magisword for my bank robbery. Soon, I’ll be able to reunite with my Harley.
The clown lied on the floor, filled with daggers everywhere. His laugh echoes as the screen goes black. He was known to many as the Joker.
 Belt: Da Da Daaaaaa!
 The End!
----
The film opens on a storybook called ‘Ye Olde Funny Tale’ as it opens to the first page.
Narrator: A long, long time ago, within a mystical forest, on a magical pond, there lived a frog named Freddy. Freddy was no ordinary frog. Okay, he was sort of ordinary. Freddy was the first funny frog. Not only was he the first funny frog, he was the first funny anything. Not even clowns were funny back then. Clowns were teachers and lawyers and used car salesmen. Just regular folks, like you and me. Soon, Freddy was playing to packed houses. The creatures loved Freddy, and they wanted to be funny like him, but, alas, they didn't know what made him so funny. One brave bear cub stepped forward, conjecturing that the pond water made Freddy funny. He took a sip, and he became funny. Soon, creatures came from far and wide to drink from this magical pond. They loved the good feeling they had after they laughed. Life seemed so much more manageable when they approached it with humor.
As it turns out, Garfield was reading the book to Odie and the Loud siblings.
Garfield: Thus was the story of the creation of humor.
Jon Arbuckle: (offscreen) Garfield! Odie! Kids! Breakfast!
Garfield: And they all lived happily ever after. (closes the book) The end. (drops the book) Let's eat.
Lincoln: I’m famished.
Odie looks at the book for a moment and then throws it away. They went to the dining room, where it was dark for some reason.
Garfield: Why is it so dark in here?
Odie: Huh?
Just then, disco lights start flashing and disco music starts playing. Dancing in the room was Jon Arbuckle as pieces of toast launched from the toaster and onto the plates while he grooved.
Lana: Work it, Jonny!
He then flips some eggs on the frying pan and serves them on dishes.
Jon Arbuckle: Good morning, boys and girls!
He brought them toast and eggs with ketchup on them.
Garfield: Am I supposed to eat those?
Jon Arbuckle: Come on! Cheer up.
Garfield: Jon, it's morning. Winning the lottery wouldn't cheer me up.
Jon Arbuckle: Get with the program, big guy. Tomorrow night's the big talent show.
Garfield: I know.
Jon Arbuckle: It’s Fun Fest.
Garfield: I know.
He wraps the newspaper in a roll and throws it away, making it turn off the radio.
Leni: Like, thanks, Garfield.
Luan: Yeah, that music was ‘super freak’-y. I don’t know I can ‘stay alive.’ (giggles) Two disco jokes! (giggles once again and then stops giggling) Oh, my goodness. These jokes are deader than disco itself.
Jon Arbuckle: All right, Mr. Grumpy. Bet you can't guess what I'm going to do for Fun Fest this year.
Garfield: That same dance routine you've been doing since 1978?
Jon Arbuckle: The same dance routine I've been doing since 1978, but this year, I feel it, Garfield, this is my year.
Garfield: Jon, that might have had a good chance of winning if it weren't for the whole, disco is dead thing. (he and the gang snicker)
Jon Arbuckle: Okay, laugh, you guys. At least I'm putting some effort into it, as opposed to someone I know.
Garfield: Relax. Who wins every year? Let's see. I do. Arlene and I will knock 'em dead with our stand-up routine.
Lori: Maybe you should do a dance with Arlene instead? She’s been literally looking forward to that.
Garfield: Lori, read my lips. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, okay?
Jon Arbuckle: Okay. What are you doing this year,Odie?
Odie got off his chair, left the room, returned in a black suit, and put flour on his entire face.
Odie: Ta-da!
Then, he used ketchup to put marks on his face and got out of the dining room. He reappears as a mime while dancing like Michael Jackson.
Lincoln: Oooh, a mime!
Next, the mime dog is doing the robot.
Luna: (applauds) Very good, bro dog!
Lola: What do you think, Garfield?
Garfield: I think it's embarrassing enough that I live with a dog. Now I'm living with a mime dog.
Later, they got into Jon’s car and they drove off. On the way, they stop by to pick up Arlene and Nermal.
Jon Arbuckle: Good morning, guys.
Arlene and Nermal: Good morning.
Jon Arbuckle: Big day tomorrow.
Nermal: Oh, yeah! Fun Fest!
Jon Arbuckle: What are you going to do for your talent this year, Nermal?
Nermal: I am so glad you asked.
Garfield: Oh, boy.
Nermal: Air guitar solo! (performs an air guitar solo) Fun Fest! Fun Fest! Nermal's the best! Number one!
Garfield: Are we there yet?
A cartoon superhero flew by, rocking out to Nermal’s air guitar solo.
Nermal: (performs an air guitar solo) Fun Fest! Fun Fest! I’m gonna be number one best! Number one!
He wasn’t looking, however, as he then hits a pole. As he walks away, the pole falls on him.
Garfield: You gotta get by Arlene and Me first, pal. Right, Arlene?
Arlene: Yeah,which reminds me, I was thinking that maybe...
Garfield: Not to worry. I have our routine all figured out. I'll run you through it when we get to the studio.
Nermal: Hey, why can't I ever get to be in a routine with you guys?
Garfield: Well, Nermal, how do I put this nicely? You suck
Nermal: I do not suck.
Garfield: Like a vacuum cleaner.
Nermal: Hey!
Garfield: You're too young and too short to perform with pros like us.
Nermal: Am not!
Garfield: You're so short, you could pose for trophies.
Lincoln: Enough, you two.
Arlene: Garfield, I'd really like to do that dance number this year.
Garfield: Come on, Arlene, why mess with a good thing? Comedy kills.
Arlene: For once, why can't we do something I wanna do? I mean, it's not like I'm asking you to bring me a bouquet of roses.
Garfield: Now that would be pushing it.
Arlene: You totally take me for granted.
Garfield: That's what the marble statue said to the art dealer. "Don't take me for granite."
Luan: (chuckles) Good one, Garfield. Granite. (laughs)
Nermal: That's your killer comedy? You are so going down this year, fatso.
Garfield: Pipsqueak.
Nermal: Fatso.
Garfield: Pipsqueak.
Nermal: Fatso.
Lucy: Are we there yet?
Soon, they arrived at the studio. Jeff the guard was seen practicing his talent in the station.
Jeff: (singing) I can just see my name in lights!
Jon Arbuckle: Hey, Jeff.
Jeff: Morning, Jon.
The gate was open and they have reached the studio.
Jeff: (singing) Jeff, the entertainer of the year!
They went inside the studio cafeteria, where they see every other cartoon character practicing for tomorrow night.
Lynn: Wow. The comedy tryouts are almost as busy as my football tryouts.
Lana: Good morning, Billy Bear!
Billy Bear: That’s my name. Don’t wear it out.
Luan: Good morning, Randy Rabbit! How are you today?
Randy Rabbit: Fantastic and amazing! Watch this.
He grabs his magic hat and pulls a rabbit puppet out of it.
Randy Rabbit: (throwing his voice) Hi, Luan. How are you doing?
Luan: I’ve seen that one before, Randy.
Randy Rabbit: I guess I'll have to work up another trick.
Prop Boy: (pops out of the hat) What if we use a groundhog instead of a rabbit?
Both: Hmm.
Charlie Brown: Hey, Lincoln, glad you could make it.
Lincoln: Hi, Charlie, how’s it going?
Ronnie Anne: Aren’t you excited for Fun Fest tomorrow?
Lincoln: Sure am. And so is Garfield. In fact, he’s won Fun Fest almost every year.
Ronnie Anne: Really?
Lincoln: He’s very confident about it.
Garfield went over to get some lunch.
Garfield: Zelda, Zelda, Zelda. I swear. Are those stars I see in your eyes?
Zelda: What are you talking about?
Zelda poured coffee in Garfield’s cup.
Garfield: Why, about Fun Fest, of course. You’re entertaining us tomorrow, aren’t you?
Zelda: I’ll think about it.
Garfield: Well, don't disappoint your fans, okay?
As soon as the cat left, she starts juggling various objects.
Old Man: Hey, Zelda, what are you...
He was then swept up in the juggling act.
Old Man: Whoa!
Soon, the director, Betty, and Little Red arrived in the cafeteria.
Charles: Attenzione, attenzione, people.
Nobody paid any attention to him.
Director: Betty.
Betty: SHUT UP!!!!
The room went silent from her yelling. Little Red was dazed from her yelling though.
Charles: Good morning, people. Before we do our comic strips today, we are all going to rehearse for tomorrow's Fun Fest.
Everyone cheered.
Charles: Now, if you would please proceed to the auditorium in a quiet and orderly...
Everyone ran over Charles like a pack of stampeding wildebeest.
Betty: Oh, Charles.
Everybody took their seats in the auditorium while Garfield entered the room where Eli and the Peanut kids were working.
Garfield: Hey, Eli. Hey, kids.
Peanut kids: Hey, Garfield.
Eli: Hey, Garfield. Ready for another Fun Fest?
Garfield: I’m ready to win another Fun Fest.
Eli: I heard a rumor about a new strip, and this new guy is supposed to be some tough competition.
Garfield: Nothing can knock me off the top spot.
Eli: You might wanna keep that ego in check. (sees Garfield leaving) Uh... Buddy?
The director got onstage.
Charles: Welcome to the dress rehearsal for the 30th annual Fun Fest, where the act that's the most fun, wins! As you know, tomorrow's talent show will be judged, and the winner's comic strip will be placed in the coveted top position on the comics page. The Garfield comic strip has enjoyed quite a long run on top, but will it prevail again?
Garfield: You bet your bippy, Monocle Boy.
Everyone laughed while Arlene rolled her eyes and sighed.
Charles: Before we start rehearsal, allow me to introduce this year's Fun Fest judges. First, my assistant director, Betty.
Everyone applauds Betty, including her niece, Little Red.
Charles: From the Life Stinks comic strip, we have Bonita Stegman.
Everyone applauds for Bonita, though Walter was in dismay.
Walter: I thought we were going to do something together in the show this year, Bonita.
Bonita: That would be beneath me, Walter.
Walter: Yes, dear.
Charles: Next, we have Billy Bear's wife, Bonnie Bear.
Sitting next to Billy Bear was Bonnie Bear, who was enjoying the applause.
Lana: (whistles while she applauds) Alright!
Billy Bear: You know who to vote for, don't you, Bonnie?
Bonnie Bear: Don't ask me to play favorites, Billy. I take my duties as judge seriously.
Billy Bear: What if I were to, say, do the dishes for a week?
Bonnie Bear: Are you bribing a judge, Mr. Bear?
Billy Bear: No, sir. Ma'am. I gotta go polish my nose now. (exits the scene)
Bonnie Bear: You better polish your act if you want my vote.
Charles: And rounding out the panel, all the way from Royal Woods, New Townsville, was have one of the sisters, Leni Loud, who have been hired as our special… runway judge?
Leni: I always wanna be the judge of these runway shows.
Charles: Right… And now, some opening remarks from this year's master of ceremonies and the perennial winner of Fun Fest, please welcome Garfield.
Garfield comes onstage as the crowd applauses.
Garfield: Thank you, Charles. It's so great to be hosting Fun Fest again. And, to be honest, it's so great to be winning Fun Fest again.
A few of the members jeered.
Garfield: No, but seriously. This year, I'm so confident of victory, I'm gonna tell you my secret for success.
Billy Bear: You bribe the judges.
Garfield: No.
Lucy van Pelt: Your mother counts the votes.
Garfield: No, it's not that easy. In order to be a great comedian you have to first be a great dramatic actor.
Nermal: (not believing it one bit) Sure, fatso.
Garfield: Let me demonstrate. Of course, I'll need my lovely assistant.
Arlene walks over to Garfield, uninterested.
Garfield: Arlene and I will do our winning routine from last year, where I perform all the great scenes from all the great movies in 30 seconds.
The set became a 007 barrel POV.
Garfield: Bond, James Bond. (fires a cork from his toy gun)
The set then turned into a ‘30s background with a door.
Garfield: Frankly, my dear, I don't give a darn. (exits the door with Arlene)
Now, it’s a cafe background.
Garfield: Here’s looking at you, kid.
The set turned into a jungle, starring Garfield and Arlene as Tarzan and Jane.
Garfield: Me, Tarzan. You, Jane.
Leni: I think I seen that before.
And then into a laboratory, with Arlene as the monster and Garfield as Frankenstein.
Garfield: It’s alive! It’s alive!
We move to a boxing ring.
Garfield: (pretending to be in pain) Adrian!
Now, it’s a technicolor fantasy world.
Garfield: Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.
Leni: Oooh, I like those fancy shoes!
Next is a Disney film, where Garfield was slurping spaghetti towards Arlene.
Garfield: Mmm.
And finally, he ends it with the scene from Titanic.
Garfield: I’m the king of the world!
The audience cheers. Garfield is enjoying it, but not Arlene.
Garfield: Yeah, thank you, thank you. (he and Arlene leave the stage)
Charles: All right, people, work with me, and I'll work with you. Can we have the first act up for rehearsal, please?
While the two clown brothers juggled chihuahuas, Nermal noticed Arlene not happy.
Arlene: (Prop Boy comes up to her) Hi.
Prop Boy: Hey. (gives her a bag) There you go, Arlene.
Arlene: Thanks.
Soon, Garfield and Arlene were in a room.
Garfield: Okay, here's what we're going to do this year. Here are your setup lines, and we walk out together, and you say…
Arlene: "Gee, Garfield and I feel like mummies tonight."
Garfield: And then I say, "Yeah, pressed for time." Laughter, laughter, laughter. And then you say something like, "Oh, Garfield, where do you come up with that stuff?" And then I say...
Arlene: Garfield, I really had my heart set on doing that dance number this year.
Garfield: Arlene, we win with this stuff. Doing something else would be heresy.
Arlene: Some things are more important than winning, Garfield.
Garfield: I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that.
Arlene: Come on, Garfield, let's do something I wanna do this year. Do it for me.
A few cartoon stars entered the room.
Walter: Oh, come on.
Randy Rabbit: That was so good.
Garfield: Here we go again. What dance did you have in mind, Arlene?
Arlene: The tango. Garfield, it would be so exciting, so romantic. And you can wear this outfit. (gets out the tango outfit from the bag)
Garfield: Say what?
Arlene: This outfit, you can't do the tango without the proper costume.
Garfield: Uh...
Garfield looks over at Billy, Randy, and Walter, who were about to burst with laughter.
Billy Bear: Put it on.
He growls at them and they shut the door to avoid his anger.
Garfield: No way, Arlene, I can’t go there.
Arlene: But you promised we'd do the dance this year.
Garfield: I said I promised I'd think about it. My comedy routine is a guaranteed winner. If you really wanna do the tango, you'll have to find yourself another partner.
Arlene: But who?
Just then, a shadowy figure entered the room in a bright light.
???: I will dance with you.
Arlene: Who is that?
It was a tall charming Spanish cat.
???: Allow me to introduce myself. I am... (purrs) Ramone. (kisses Arlene’s hand)
Garfield: I smell a... (purrs) rat.
Arlene: Garfield, are you sure you don't wanna dance with me?
Garfield: Yeah, I’m sure. You go ahead and dance with Raymond there.
Ramone: Ramone.
Garfield: Whatever. I’ll work up a solo act.
Arlene: Good luck.
Garfield: Good luck to you, too.
He leaves the room and enters Eli’s workstation.
Garfield: You got room for both of us up here?
Eli: Both of you?
Garfield: Me and my ego!
Eli: Sure.
Garfield: Well, I met the new shooter. His name's Ramone.
Eli: Looks like Arlene met him, too.
Onstage, Arlene was doing the tango with her new partner, Ramone. They were dancing together in harmony.
Eli: Wow! Look at that guy move!
Garfield: He’s not so good.
The women were in awe with Ramone as he danced with Arlene.
Betty: Oh, baby.
Bonnie Bear: You said it, girl.
Bonita: My sentiments exactly.
Snoopy whistles in surprise.
Lynn: Where is Garfield?
The two finished their dance and received applause. They both bowed to the audience.
Arlene: Thank you.
Back on the workstation…
Eli: I heard his new strip's called Ramone Rough Rider.
Garfield: The only thing rough about him is that cheesy accent. He's nothing but a big phony.
Charles: Thank you, Arlene and Ramone. Very nice indeed, charming. All right, next to rehearse is Garfield.
Garfield: Showtime.
Eli: You've never done this without Arlene before.
Garfield: (as he leaves) I’ll be fine. Just watch.
Eli: Well, good luck.
In the auditorium, the director is wondering where Garfield is.
Charles: Where is Garfield?
Garfield: Here I am.
Charles: And what are you calling this routine?
Garfield: “Whatever It Takes.”
Charles: Ladies and gentlemen, Garfield the cat doing "Whatever it Takes."
Garfield: (as the audience applauds) Thank you, thank you.
He got offstage and drags Odie with him onstage.
Garfield: (whispers) Alright, let’s go.
Odie speaks, although it is a bit hard to make out the words.
Garfield: You're right, Odie. We sure do feel like mummies tonight. Pressed for time.
Nobody was laughing. Schroeder just looked in confusion.
Ronnie Anne: Huh? What?
Ramone: This humor is, how do you say… Stale? Don't you agree, Arlene?
Garfield: All right, Raymond, I guess I'll have to take it up a notch. And moving on. (kicks Odie off the stage and calls out to Prop Boy) Prop boy, prop boy.
He whispers into Prop Boy’s ear and the worker brings him a box of stuff. The cat then put on a pair of pop-out eyeglasses.
Garfield: Seriously, though. I met this cat who was really short. How short was he?
Ramone: He was so short he could pose for trophies?
Everyone laughed at Ramone’s joke, while the eyes pop out of Garfield’s glasses.
Garfield: Yes, something like that.
He emerges onstage while he rolled on top of a ball, hula-hooping rings on his arms, and having a fake arrow on his head.
Garfield: Hey, folks, what did the statue say to the art dealer?
Ramone: Don't take me for granite.
Everyone laughed again. Garfield was shocked that this new cat knows the punchline.
Leni: (laughs) Man, this guy is good.
Ramone: It is so sad to see someone past his prime struggle so. It is time for a new cat in town.
Garfield: (while balancing plates) I’m strictly a feline, feline.
Arlene just shook her head.
Luan: What’s going on here?
Ramone: Perhaps, after I have won Fun Fest, I will teach each of you the tango. The dance of romance.
Garfield was deflated, just as much as the ball he was standing on. He walks offstage.
Linus: Poor Garfield.
Charles: Well, that was interesting.
Garfield sadly went to Eli’s workstation.
Eli: What was that?
Garfield: I bombed. I never bomb.
Eli: Well, what do you expect? Without Arlene, you had to make up a whole new routine on the fly. It'll take some time.
Garfield: But I don't have time. Fun Fest is tomorrow night. I've got to get funny, fast.
Eli: I suggest you work on your routine, 'cause there isn't any magic potion that's gonna make you funny again.
Garfield: Except Freddy's pond water.
Eli: What?
Garfield: Oh, nothing. Just a fairy tale I read.
Charles: Great work, people. That's a wrap until tomorrow.
Ramone: It was so wonderful dancing with you today, Arlene. I feel like the world is my oyster, and you are my pearl. Speaking of pearl, perhaps you and I could maybe make some sweet ocean music… Thank you so much.
Garfield looked at their conversation with a depressed look. That night, before bed, he looks at the book he read from morning. He remembers about that bear cub drinking the funny water, betting that he could be funny once he finds the magic pond. The next morning, as Garfield was sleeping, Odie snuck into his room as a mime.
Garfield: (while sleeping) Oh, little magic pond. Just one sip. I'll be funny again. Oh, yeah.
The dog mimics the ringing of an alarm clock and Garfield wakes up.
Garfield: What? Good morning, Odie.
Odie mimics an alarm clock again.
Garfield: I mean, good morning, alarm clock.
Lincoln: Good morning, Garfield.
Garfield: Good morning, guys. What’s the rush?
Odie juggles some apples before eating them, getting a match on his tongue, lights it up, blows the fire on Garfield’s face, squirts water on the cat with a fake flower, and blows the trumpet.
Odie: Ta-da!
Garfield: I know, I know, tonight's the big night. Fun Fest. But the only way for me to win tonight is to come up with a funny act, and fast.
Luan: Yeah, after what happened yesterday.
Lola: Especially with that Ramone cat hanging around.
Leni: I don’t know. I kinda like him.
Garfield: Don’t remind me, girls. I keep reading this storybook, hoping there's an answer in here somewhere.
Jon Arbuckle: (offscreen) Guys, children, breakfast!
The Gang: Huh?
Garfield: Or maybe the answer’s in my oatmeal. Let’s eat.
As he and the kids leaves, he drops the book, revealing something at the corner of a page. Luan stops then turns and sees the page. She went near it and kneels down to pick it up. It was an envelope. Her eyes were widen. At the kitchen…
Jon Arbuckle: Good morning, Odie. Looking good. Did you know my costume is double knit? I kind of like it.
Garfield: That's because you're "kind of geeky."
Luan: Hey, Garfield.
Garfield: Now what?
Luan: I found something.
Garfield: Oh, I get it, you're a mime mailman, and you're pretending to deliver a letter.
Luan: But Garfield...
Garfield: Luan, please. I'm trying to eat. We'll play your game after breakfast, okay?
Lori: Luan, if this is one of your lame jokes, we’re literally going to barf.
Luan groaned. Later, as they were in Jon’s car, they see Ramone’s car go past them.
Ramone: Make way, you slow pokes.
He parked near Arlene, who was waiting. The others were in surprise, mostly Garfield. She enters the car with Ramone.
Ramone: Eat my bubbles.
He drives off. Garfield groans.
Garfield: (whispers to Lincoln) When we get to the studio, we have to find out what Charles is shooting for Ramone's strip.
Lincoln: Really?
Garfield nodded yes to him.
Lincoln: Well, I’m with you Garfield.
Later, at the studio cafeteria, we see Garfield and Lincoln going to the set while when…
Luan: Guys, I think you should look at it.
Lincoln: Luan, that’s enough. You need to stop it.
Luan: Really! It’s important.
Garfield: Not now, Luan. We have to find out what Charles is shooting for Ramone's strip.
They prepares to leave, but she blocks his path.
Garfield: All right, all right, you want me to open this.
Luan: Duh!
Garfield: This is very old.
Lincoln: Where did you find it?
Luan: In the storybook.
Garfield: Whoa! Why didn’t you tell me this before?
Luan: (groans) Ugh.
Garfield opens up the envelope and their eyes widen in surprise.
Garfield: Whoa!
At the studio auditorium…
Ramone: Nonsense. I am beautiful from all angles.
Charles: Fine.
Ramone: Arlene, my precious flower. I hope you had time to think about what I asked you in the car this morning. Please, say you will star in my strip today.
Arlene: Gee, I don’t know, Ramone.
Ramone: Of all the lovely ladies here, you are the most ravishing beauty to ever grace my presence.
He hands her a bouquet of roses.
Arlene: Oh, my! How did you know these were my favorites?
Ramone: Ramone always knows what the pretty ladies like. Please, say that you will be my damsel.
Arlene thought for a moment and sighed. Meanwhile, Garfield and the others which were the Loud Kids and the Peanuts Kids were examining the map.
Garfield: This is a map to Freddy Frog's magic pond. All we have to do is follow the directions to the mythical land, through the mystical forest, to the magic pond where I drink the funny water, and I get funny in time for the show tonight.
Lori: You really think its real?
Garfield: Yeah. It's a little hard to believe, isn't it? So much for magic maps. I guess I'll have to rely on my good looks for a victory tonight. Who needs a magic pond, anyway?
He opens the door.
Charles: Alright, let’s shoot, people.
Garfield: Huh?
Charles: And, action!
Garfield walks to Little Red as Ramone and Arlene were on a horse in a medieval setting, with the former about to kiss the latter. The picture was taken for the panel by Little Red. Garfield was upset of Ramone.
Garfield: That’s it. (Walks away angry) I need that magic pond.
Little Red: Huh?
She walks to him just as he walks back to the room with the kids.
Garfield: I’m gonna need a team. If anyone wants to come, now’s the time.
Some of the kids were chatting to each other about things they have to do.
Lola: I need to be pretty for Fun Fest.
Leni: I need to get my hair brush for the Runway.
Ronnie Anne: I’ve got pamphlets to hand out.
Charlie Brown: I need to get my act together for the talent show.
Linus: Uh, Charlie, that was a month ago.
Charlie Brown: Oh.
Lincoln: I’ll go. You might be needing some brains on the way.
Lisa: Correction, Lincoln. You’re the second. I’m the one with the brains.
Lincoln: At least I’ll come to help him out.
Lynn: Count me in. I can take down any obstacle.
Luan: I’ll go, just to get that funny water. I wanna be in that Fun Fest so bad.
Little Red: (to herself) Funny juice?
Luna: Dude, why would you need that stuff? You don’t know what it tastes like.
Luan: One, I found that map. And two, I have to get that so I can be a good comedian like Garfield.
Garfield: Fine, you can come, Luan. But you better save your awful jokes for later.
Luan: (groans) Do I have to?
Garfield: Zip it, kid.
Odie: (barks to Garfield)
Garfield: Okay, Odie. You can come. With this map, we’ll get to the funny water and be there in no time!
Soon, the kids cheered as Garfield, Lincoln, Lynn, Luan, and Odie left the studio.
Lincoln: We’re off to find the water!
Lola: Good luck, big brother!
Lana: Save me some of that funny water as well!
Little Red: Arlene! (Runs to Arlene) Arlene! Garfield is leaving!
Arlene: What?
Arlene opens the door and could only catch a glimpse of Garfield and his team leaving.
Garfield: Man, this thing would be a lot easier to follow if there was a yellow-brick road.
Jeff: (singing) I’m gonna be the new Fun Fest king! (speaks) Kick, two, three, four.
And so, they left for the journey. Arlene and Little Red went pass the crowd to see Garfield, but it was too late. He was long gone by now.
Little Red: Don’t worry. I’ll go get him back. I promise.
Little Red runs after Garfield just as Arlene walks back to the studio. Unaware that a mysterious figure with bunny ears was watching from the top of the studio. He disappeared.
Moments later, Garfield was looking at the map.
Garfield: Wow. This is a lot further than it looks on the map. Thee towne is here, and the mythical land is here. It's only this far on the map.
They set off, walking from place to place. They braved scorching deserts, stormy weather, and harsh colds until a snowy cliff breaks off and they fell. They rolled into a snowball, crushing a butterfly and landing in the green meadows.
Garfield: Yes, I think we're on the right path, Odie. That appears to be the mystical forest.
There was a giant X above the forest and they ran to the location.
The Gang: Wow.
Garfield: Hey, look.
They see a tree entrance in the distance. As they walked toward it, a furry creature was looking at them through a telescope. It scurries through the trees like a shadow. The team approached the tree, where a sign hung over it. It said ‘Show time in 2 minutes.’
Lynn: Hey! What gives? Did you do this, Luan?
Luan: I don’t know.
A hand switched the sign to say ‘Show time in 1 minute.’
Garfield: We don't have time for this nonsense. It's only hours till Fun Fest. Let's go.
Popping out of the tree hole was a squirrel in a ranger cap.
Squirrel: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stand back there, sir.
Garfield: Pardon?
Squirrel: You may not enter the mystical forest until you've seen the informational presentation. So keep your pants on, sir. The presentation will commence in a few seconds.
Lincoln: Who are you?
The squirrel pops his head out of the curtains.
Squirrel: The mystical forest ranger, Officer Stanislavsky. Please be seated, sirs.
They all sat down on the blue bench. The squirrel open the curtains.
Stanislavsky: Welcome. Beware, all ye who dare to enter the mystical forest. (a cardboard bear comes down) Beware the bear with the sinister smile. (gets frightened a bit) I sometimes scare myself.
Lynn: Can we get past now?
Stanislavsky: Silence. I'm almost finished. (a cardboard two-headed alligator drops down) And beware the alligators at the stream crossing. They would really like to snack on your bones.
Garfield: Look, pal. I really don't have time for this. Maybe you can tell us which way to the magic pond with the funny water.
Stanislavsky: Of course. The shortcut is through one of those curtains.
He opens the blue curtain to reveal two pink curtains.
Garfield: Just tell me which one's the shortcut, okay?
Stanislavsky: First, you must answer one question honestly. Tell me about yourself. Are you a solo act, or do you rely on others?
Garfield: I'm strictly solo, pal. I don't need anyone's help.
Stanislavsky: Hmm. Very well, sir. (opens the curtain on the left) Right this way.
Garfield: Finally.
They enter through the curtain.
Garfield: What a goofball that guy was.
As they walked, they noticed something a bit off.
Lynn: I didn’t know they have another welcome center.
Lincoln: Yeah, especially one that looks just like the one we went through.
Garfield: Hey, wait a minute.
They realized they were back at the welcome center.
Stanislavsky: Hello!
Garfield: Hey, what kind of shortcut was that?
Stanislavsky: Perhaps you haven’t learned your lesson.
Garfield: And perhaps I have. I'm taking curtain number two.
He walks through the other curtain, only to return to the visitor’s center.
Garfield: Ha-ha, Mr. Wise Squirrel. Okay, what do I do?
Stanislavsky: Tell me about yourself. Are you a solo act, or do you rely on others?
Garfield: (sighs) I need all the help I can get.
Stanislavsky: Yes. (opens the curtain on the right) Right this way.
Garfield: This is the right path?
Stanislavsky: You always take the right path when you choose to be honest with your audience.
They walked through the curtain.
Stanislavsky: And please enjoy your stay.
Garfield: Thanks.
Little Red: (offscreen) Hold it!
The gang: Huh?
They turns to see Little Red running to them. When she stops near them, she exhaling from running and was upset.
Little Red: How should you leave Arlene like that?
Garfield: What? What do you mean?
Little Red: She had a sad look this morning when you left.
Garfield: She’s with Ramone now, Red. He’s more funnier than I am.
Little Red: That doesn’t mean you have to leave her. And besides, what is it you are doing?
Garfield: My team and I are looking for the magic pond. If I drink the water, I can be funny again.
Luan: He read it from a storybook.
Little Red: Garfield, you have to come back. She misses you so much.
Garfield: I will, Red. As soon as I’m funny again, I’ll win Fun Fest and she’ll be back to me in no time.
Lynn: You can be on our team if you like, Red.
Little Red: Well, fine. But if there’s no magic pond, we’re going back to the studio.
Garfield: Deal. Come on, gang. We got a pond to catch.
Odie: (barks)
And so, they continued their journey. While walking, they noticed some dancing flowers with big smiles on their faces.
Lynn: Wow. They must be very happy flowers.
Lincoln: I feel like we’re in an old Disney cartoon.
Luan: It’s a small world after all, Lincoln.
Soon, they came across a fork in the road.
The Gang: Wow.
Garfield: This isn't getting any easier. (checks the map) The map doesn't show a fork in the path, just this bear.
He sets down the map, only to see a big bear in front of him. They were caught off-guard by this sudden appearance.
Garfield: (checks the bear on the map) It's only this big on the map.
They became scared by the bear until he gets out a bunch of cards.
Bear: Pick a card, any card.
Lynn: You’re not gonna eat us?
Bear: Not if you pick a card.
Garfield: Okay. (picks a card)
Bear: What card did you select, sir?
Garfield: (shows the card to the bear) The seven of diamonds.
Bear: You, sir, are absolutely correct. Give it up for the bear. Go, bear! Go, bear! How does he do it? It’s a gift.
Garfield: Amazing.
Bear: Okay, okay, one more.
Garfield: Well, we’re kind of in a hurry here.
Bear: Look!
He makes a fist and a V signal.
Bear: Voila!
Lincoln: I’ve never seen anything like it.
Lynn: Now, we gotta go.
Bear: Just one more. I’m on a roll.
Momma: (offscreen) Junior!
The bear, Junior, responds.
Junior: Yes, momma?
His mother comes out from the bushes.
Momma: Come to dinner and let these nice ladies and gentlemen go on their way.
Junior: Awww, Momma...
Momma: Come on, or your berries will get cold. (to the gang) You kids headed to the magic pond?
Little Red: How did you know?
Momma: Everybody who comes here wants to drink the funny water. If you ask me, people rely on that stuff too much. Being funny should come natural, like with my Junior here.
Garfield: Oh, he's something, all right, but not all of us can be as hilarious as Junior. So could you tell us the quickest way there?
Momma: Well, I suppose Junior could show you. (to Junior while grabbing his ear) And you come home, you hear?
Junior: Okay, Momma.
Garfield: So, Junior, do we go right or left?
Junior: To get to the magic pond tonight, follow your heart, and you'll always be right.
Garfield: No, no, no. Don't do this to me, Junior.
Junior: It's a riddle.
Garfield: I hate riddles.
Junior: I love riddles.
Momma: (offscreen) Junior! Dinner!
Junior: Gotta go. Bye, guys. (leaves)
Garfield: Well, swell. Come on, guys.
They looked at the left and right signs.
Garfield: To get to the magic pond tonight, follow your heart, and you'll always be right. I guess we go right.
Lincoln: I don’t think we should go that way.
Garfield: No?
Lincoln: Lisa taught me about the heart before. She says that hearts on the left side of our bodies.
Garfield: You're saying that since our hearts are on the left side of our bodies, then if we follow our hearts, we must turn left. You really think it's that simple?
Lincoln: Yeah.
Garfield: Okay. Let's hope this is quicker than that crazy squirrel and his curtains.
As the gang went left, Junior saw this and celebrated to himself. Meanwhile at the comic studio, the auditorium was being set up for Fun Fest. Seats were formed and the stage turned into that of an elaborate setting out of a play.
Charles: Where is Garfield?
Arlene: I’m not sure.
Charles: Well, I’m making up the list of acts, and…
Arlene: Just schedule him for the end. I'm sure he'll be here in time.
Charles: But he's supposed to be the master of ceremonies. We start in an hour. Who are we going to get to host?
Ramone: I could not help but overhear. (tips his hat) I would be honored to be master of the ceremony.
Ronnie saw this from behind the chairs.
Ronnie Anne: (worried) Oh, Lincoln, you have no idea what’s happening right now.
Back in the woods, they came across stepping stones in a river.
Garfield: Well, let’s go.
They jumped from stone to stone until they landed on a few that moved.
Garfield: Lincoln, do rocks move?
Lincoln: I don’t know.
He hops on the step and it bounces.
Garfield: Are rocks bouncy?
Lincoln: No way.
When he rubs his foot on it, he hears giggling.
Garfield: Do rocks giggle when you tickle them?
Luan: Uh, guys? I don’t think those are rocks.
The odd steps were revealed to be blue painted spots on the backs of two alligators.
The Gang: Yikes!
They got back on land.
Garfield: Now we'll never make it to the magic pond and back in time for Fun Fest. We're no match for alligators, guys.
They start to leave when they heard a voice.
???: You sure about that?
They looked up and saw two birds. They were Leonard and Roger.
Leonard: There is a way to get by the alligators, you know.
Lynn: Are you serious?
Roger: Us, serious?
The two birds laughed in response and stopped.
Leonard: Yes, we are very serious.
Little Red: What do we have to do?
Roger: Well, not many people know this, but alligators just love to laugh.
Leonard: So make them laugh, and while they're distracted laughing, you can cross the creek.
Garfield: But what if they stop laughing before we get all the way across?
The birds looked at each other and back to Garfield.
Roger: Aren’t we the poopy head!
Leonard: What Roger is saying is that a defeatist attitude can be pervasive in its negative impact on the outcome of one's mission.
Roger: Poopy, poopy, poopy head!
Leonard: And he’s also saying you’re a poopy head.
Garfield: I get the picture. Come on, guys. Let’s entertain the troops.
The cat goes over to the two gators, who were perching on rocks.
Garfield: Thank you, thank you! Hey, guys, it's great to be back here in the mystical forest, but you wouldn't believe what happened to me on the way here. I was mugged. Yeah, this guy walked up to me and says, "Your money or your nine lives."
The gators yawned.
Garfield: See, because cats have nine lives.
They don’t get it.
Garfield: It's tough being a cat. You wouldn't believe what a six-pack of mice cost these days.
The only sound they could hear is crickets chirping.
Garfield: They’re not laughing.
Roger: You're not funny. That stuff might work for cats, but in case you haven't noticed, these aren't cats!
Leonard: What Roger is saying is that alligator humor is essentially kinetic in nature.
Roger: Yeah! Do stupid stuff.
Garfield: Stupid stuff?
Odie: (gives Garfield the map) Allow me.
The dog goes over to the gators and starts doing stupid stuff, like squirming on the ground and bouncing on his head until he hit a rock. The reptiles then start laughing.
Leonard: You see? Play to your audience, even if it means being foolish.
Garfield: I gotta lower my standards.
A dizzy Odie then hits a tree and faints, prompting more laughter from the gators.
Lynn: Good job, Odie. Now, let’s go.
They hopped from stone to stone while the alligators were laughing.
Garfield: Thanks for the help.
Roger: Anytime. What do you know?
Leonard: Yeah! Who'd have thought you could actually make alligators laugh?
Roger: Who'da thunk?
Back at the comic studio, the seats in the auditorium were being filled. The director watched from behind the curtain.
Charles: We have to start. We can’t wait for Garfield anymore.
Outside, Arlene could only wait as everyone was entering the studio. She then went inside the building with a sad look on her face. Back in the forest, the team saw the magic pond in the distance.
Lincoln: It really exists after all.
Luan: The magic pond filled with funny water.
Garfield: Let’s do this!
They start running through the woods.
Garfield: Oh, boy! Come on, guys!
Suddenly, he trips on a rope, which pulls the lever. This caused a gate to appear, complete with a post and several stop signs.
Lynn: Oh, no. I should’ve known this wouldn’t be a walk in the park.
Garfield: (knocks on the gate) Hello! Anybody home?
A head popped out from the guard post. He had a top hat and a big mustache.
Gate Guard: Hold your horses.
He comes to them in an incredibly tall unicycle.
Little Red: Whoa.
He lowers the seat, so he can see the gang.
Gate Guard: State your business.
Garfield: I came to drink the funny water.
Gate Guard: Who doesn’t? And why do you want to drink the funny water?
Garfield: Because I’m not funny anymore.
Gate Guard: I’ll be the judge of that. Tell me a joke.
Garfield: How many rabbits does it take to change a light bulb?
Gate Guard: One! If he hops to it. You do impressions?
Garfield: Of course. Any requests?
Gate Guard: Do a cat.
Garfield: (does a poor impression of a cat) Meow.
Gate Guard: I’m not convinced.
Garfield: Are you quite through?
Gate Guard: Yep! You’re not funny, alright.
Garfield: What did I tell you?
Gate Guard: A piece of advice.
Garfield: What’s that?
Gate Guard: Drink a lot of funny water. (chuckles)
Garfield: Okay.
Gate Guard: They may have to drain the pond for you. (laughs) You may proceed.
He goes to his post, but the gate doesn’t raise.
Garfield: Are you gonna raise the gate?
Gate Guard: Do I look like Arnold Schwarzenhagen? Go under!
The team got down on the ground and crawled under the gate. Garfield then runs for the lake,
Garfield: Come on, guys!
Gate Guard: (to the others) Your friend is a poopy head. (he and the others chuckle)
As the others rejoined Garfield, he reached the pond.
Luan: Here it is, the funny lake. Funny water, here we come!
She and Garfield dived into the water. They swam in it and drank some water. Unknown to the team, a mysterious figure is watching from behind the grass.
???: Hmm...
At Fun Fest, Eli starts up the show.
Eli: It’s showtime.
He presses the showtime button and the curtains closed. Living instruments then played lively music as the director emerges.
Charles: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Fun Fest. Our master of ceremonies, Garfield, has been detained. (the audience murmurs) Perhaps he'll drop in later, so please welcome our guest MC, Ramone!
Ramone arrives in the spotlight to thunderous applause.
Ramone: Good evening, all you beautiful people. My name is Ramone. Ever since I was a little kitten,it was my dream to one day leave my poverty-stricken litter box and perform for a wonderful audience such as you! (the lady judges swoon) Welcome to my show. I love you, all of you!
Everyone cheers as the show begins. Back at the forest, the figure appears from the grass. He looks like an elderly frog.
Frog: Ah. You appear to be thirsty, my young friends.
Garfield: Huh? No, we’re just here for the funny water, pops. Luan and I'll be out of here in a minute.
Frog: Ah, but only the magic pond holds funny water.
Luan: So this ain’t the magic pond?
Frog: This so ain't the magic pond. We moved it years ago. No, this is a sludge pit, fed by a drainage ditch from Grin City.
Horrified, the two got out of the water and spit out the nasty stuff.
Frog: Nice spit take.
He winds up the engine of his lilypad boat while imitating the motor sounds. He goes over to them.
Garfield: So where’s the magic pond?
Frog: Not so fast, impatient one. Why do you wish to partake of the funny water?
Garfield: I've been getting these pop quizzes ever since I got to this place. Who do you people think you are, anyway?
Frog: I can't speak for the others, but I think I'm Freddy Frog.
The gang was surprised.
Lincoln: The Freddy Frog? But you look so different from...
Freddy Frog: From a storybook, I know, yes. That was many years ago before I had to start wearing muumuus.
Little Red: So you’re the one who made every animal funny?
Freddy Frog: Yes. And not every animal though. Every human, too.
Luan: (gasped) No way!
Freddy Frog: Yes way, unfunny girl.
Luan: Hey!
Freddy Frog: (chuckles) Ah, good humor. In fact, I was once a pet to one. A pink-haired and much hilarious girl by the name of Pinkie Pie.
Garfield: Who’s that?
Freddy Frog: Don’t know. But before she got much hilarious, she started off as a normal pink-skinned little girl.
We transition from the lake to an old home in the human world where we see a family working in the field moving rocks.
Freddy Frog: (voiceover) Like her family, her life was glum and gray. Only to move rocks like she doesn’t care.
We hear a bell ring from their home.
Bell: Cussing ring ring ring!
Pinkie Pie’s father: Time to get inside.
Her family went inside but not Young Pinkie Pie.
Freddy Frog: (voiceover) Her life was the same old, same old, till she noticed a frog.
She heard a ribbit coming from near the trees. She was curious with nothing to say until the frog puts on a top hat then sings.
Young Freddy Frog: (sings and dance) Hello my baby, hello my honey. Hello my ragtime gal. Send me a kiss by wire, by wire. Baby, my heart's on fire. If you refuse me, honey, you lose me. And you'll be left alone, oh baby. Telephone, and tell me I'm your very own!
She was amused. When she walks to it, the frog noticed her and leaves. She gasped and runs after it through the woods til she tripped on a ditch. She rolls down and stops near a bush. She rubs her head when she hears laughter. She checks through the bush and see the animals drinking the funny pond. Each sip of that water gives them the ability of being funny. She was in awe. When she steps out a bit, the animals saw her and leave in a flash. She was confused until the frog with a top hat appeared in front of her. It chokes. It hops to the pond and drinks it. Curious enough, she walks to the frog near the pond and kneels down with him. The frog looks at her and offers her a drink from the pond. She looks to the pond to see her reflection. She looks at the frog again with the go on look. She then takes a sip and as her eyes were widen, a rainbow shockwave went though behind her made her hair puffy.
Freddy Frog: (voiceover) I didn’t think it was possible from a rainbow shockwave to come from behind just as she drank it, but when she sees that rainbow above her…
She looks at the reflection to see a rainbow above her puffy hair. She looks up and was amazed to see a beautiful rainbow.
Freddy Frog: (voiceover) There it was. The first human to drink from the pond and become funny.
We transitioned from the flashback to present day.
Freddy Frog: Since then, she used her talents to throw nice parties to her friends. Even her family.
Garfield: Well, it's an honor meeting you, Freddy. Now, if you'll just direct us to the magic pond, I'll have a drink and be on my way.
Freddy Frog: I’m afraid it’s not quite as simple as that.
Garfield: Yeah, nothing is.
Freddy Frog: You must first attain a higher level of humorous enlightenment before drinking the water.
Garfield: Can I get enlightened before Fun Fest? I'm in a rush here, pal.
Freddy Frog: Then, let’s begin. Ah. (picks up a stick) What is this, round one?
Garfield: It's a stick. And what's with the "round one" remark?
Freddy Frog: Oh, I always give nicknames to my students. Now, this is much more than a stick, furball! (serves it like a waiter) Who ordered the frozen snake? (talks to it while it rests on a hospital bed) How long have you been on this diet, sir? (has the stick on his neck) Can you get this splinter out of my neck? (finished up pretending) Now, you do something with the stick.
Garfield: I can’t.
Freddy Frog: And why not?
Garfield: Because you used up all the good stuff.
The frog groaned and offered the stick to Odie. The dog throws it like a pole and runs to it. It “lands” on his chest and he clutched in pain. Then, he uses it as if he was a composer, followed by pretending he was Zorro using a sword. He walked on it like it was a tightrope and used it like a microphone as he sung like Elvis, complete with hairdo. The gang applauds him for his demonstration.
Freddy Frog: There you go. That’s what I’m talking about.
Odie: Thank you. Thank you very much.
Garfield: (sighs) Mimes aren’t supposed to talk.
Little Red: Now you try, Garfield.
Garfield: Well, I'm sorry, but I don't do stick shtick. (to Freddy Frog) What else you got?
Freddy Frog: Boot camp, big boy!
The scene fades to the elderly frog teaching Garfield about slipping on a banana peel and landing on his back. Garfield slipped on a peel, but landed on his head. Next, he showed the cat how to hit his face when stepping on a rake. When the cat steps on the pointy rake, he clutched his foot in pain, stepped on the garden tool, and hit his back on it. Freddy then teaches him about the whoopie cushion. Garfield sits on it and it toots. Next was a seesaw, where one person is launched when another steps on the end of the plank. With the feline on one side, Odie hopped on another, but due to the cat’s weight, he was launched instead. However, as Garfield prepares to leave, the dog came back down and steps on the plank, launching the cat a little. He is then seen getting pied over and over. Later, he goes to see the frog.
Garfield: This is supposed to make me funny?
Freddy Frog: Not until you can snatch this pebble from my hand, grass whopper. (holds a pebble on the palm of his hand)
As the cat grabs it, he gets an electric shock. Turns out, the pebble is actually a joy buzzer.
Freddy Frog: I never get tired of that one.
Garfield: Hilarious.
Freddy Frog: A great Zen master once said, or was it W.C. Fields? At any rate, "Comedy is tragedy happening to someone else."
Garfield: Well, I don’t do tragedy.
Freddy Frog: In that case, what you need is more of this. (puts his finger on Garfield’s chest)
Garfield: More of what?
His finger flicks Garfield on the nose.
Freddy Frog: More humility, oh rotund one.
Garfield: (clutching his nose) Ha ha.
Freddy Frog: It's only when one humbles himself before an audience that he's able to ascend to a higher plane of humorous enlightenment. Remember, it's about the audience, not you. Humor is in the ear of the beholder.
Garfield: Do all you people talk gibberish out here?
Freddy Frog: You haven’t been listening, have you?
Garfield: What do you mean?
Freddy Frog: Every step along your journey, there has been a lesson to be learned. If you were listening...
Garfield: Look, Freddy, it's been nice meeting you and all, but I am way behind schedule here.
Freddy Frog: Follow me, oh one who is great of girth.
Odie and Lynn giggled at such remark, but Garfield growls at them to stop. So, he and the gang followed the frog to a bridge. Midway, Freddy pulls down a lever and the ropes close on Garfield.
Garfield: Hey! Hey! What’s going on here?
Freddy Frog: A test in humility that even one such as yourself will understand. You're on the Bridge Over Truthful Waters. Tell the truth, and you will pass unharmed.
Garfield: And just what is that supposed to mean?
Freddy Frog: How would you describe your body?
Garfield: I have kind of a normal body, maybe a little on the stout side.
The frog pushed the lever to the right and the bridge swings over, dousing Garfield in water.
Garfield: Okay, okay, I admit it. I’m chubby.
The bridge turns over again.
Garfield: I’m fat. Okay, I’m fat.
Freddy Frog: How fat are you?
Garfield: Oh, come on!
Freddy Frog: (about to pull the lever) Uh-uh.
Garfield: Okay, okay. I'm so fat, every time I go to the beach, the tide comes in.
Freddy Frog: Hmm.
Garfield: I'm so fat, I never knew that "I could eat a horse" was just an expression. I'm so fat, one time I got on a Ferris wheel and two guys on top starved to death.
Freddy pushed the lever up, freeing Garfield.
Freddy Frog: Very well done. That was very funny.
Garfield: What’s so funny about being fat?
Freddy Frog: Self-deprecating humor is funny. If you share your humanity with your audience, they'll share their affection with you. Remember, it's better for someone to have laughed at your expense than never to have laughed at all.
Garfield: So what now?
Freddy Frog: So now give me a hug.
Garfield: A hug?
Freddy Frog: (hugs Garfield) Just do it, you big lug. I’m very proud of you. You’ve taken one step on a very long road.
Garfield: Is there gonna be a lot of this?
Freddy Frog: Just this once.
Garfield: Okay. (gets out of the hug) So where’s the funny water?
Freddy Frog: It is there.
He points to a very tall mountain in the distance.
Garfield: Is this another riddle?
Freddy Frog: No, seriously, it’s up there.
Garfield: Is nothing easy?
Freddy Frog: Nothing worth having.
Garfield: I reckon not. Well, thanks, old man. See you later!
Odie: Bye.
Little Red: Goodbye.
Freddy Frog: Good luck to you, oh tabby for two.
Odie and Lynn chuckled again while Garfield glared at them. The gang continued their journey.
At Fun Fest…
Ramone: I hope you are all enjoying the show. And now, please welcome to the stage, Jeff, the dancing gate guard.
Jeff: (comes onstage and sings) I'm Jeff the dancing gate guard. I'm sure that you'll agree the way I dance and sing will make you want to vote for me.
As the audience watched, Ronnie could only worry for Lincoln and Garfield.
Ronnie Anne: (quietly) Please hurry, guys.
We then cut to the team climbing up the mountain. Well, more like climbing up by ladder. They were getting pretty exhausted as they climbed.
Lincoln: (panting) Geez, what a tall ladder.
Lynn: And I thought this was like rope climbing in gym.
Luan: Why did we get ourselves ‘roped’ into this? (tries to giggle, but is too exhausted) I really need that funny water right about now.
Finally, they reached the top of the mountain.
Garfield: (panting) Just one more.
The top was a glorious place with a waterfall and a lake, flowing with crystal clear water. Freddy was waiting for them.
Freddy Frog: Welcome, supersized one.
Garfield: How did you get up here?
Freddy Frog: I took the elevator.
There was an elevator in the mountaintop.
Lincoln: WHAT?! WE CLIMBED ALL THIS WAY UP HERE AND THERE WAS AN ELEVATOR ALL ALONG!?
Garfield: You didn’t tell us there was an elevator.
Freddy Frog: You didn’t ask.
Garfield: What?
Freddy Frog: Humor is all about questions, donut hopper. Why did the chicken cross the road? Hey, why the long face? Anyone here from Cleveland?
Garfield: May I drink the funny water now?
Freddy Frog: If you think you still need it.
Garfield: Still need it? Why do you think I came all this way? Not to drink it?
Freddy Frog: I think that everything you need is inside you.
Garfield: You guys and your riddles!
Freddy Frog: If you really think you need the funny water, then here.
He holds out an empty flask.
Garfield: Cool! (takes the flask) Thanks.
He scoops up water from the lake.
Garfield: Yes!
He then takes a mighty sip of funny water.
Garfield: Say, this stuff tastes a little funny.
Freddy Frog: Funny! We get it. Very good.
Luan: Let me have a sip.
Garfield hands her the flask and she scoops up the water.
Luan: (drinks the water) You’re right, Garfield. It does taste funny.
Garfield: I think it’s starting to take effect already.
He and Luan douse the funny water all over themselves.
Freddy Frog: You must understand that drinking the funny water alone will not fully prepare you for creating the kind of comedy you're capable of creating.
The two were seen swimming in the lake and barking like seals. Little Red saw the sun setting.
Little Red: Guys, we have to go now. Fun Fest is starting.
Luan and Garfield got out of the water.
Garfield: (gathers his stuff) Thanks for everything, Freddy, but we gotta run. Now!
Freddy Frog: I don’t think you’re quite ready yet.
Garfield: I'm as ready as I'll ever be, pops. Come on, team!
Freddy Frog: One moment, my large charge.
The Gang: Huh?
Freddy Frog: If you really must leave, you'll need something that will assure you swift passage to the Fun Fest.
Lynn: He’s got a point. As much I enjoy walking, by the time we get there, Ramone would’ve won Fun Fest.
Lincoln: And we can’t have that.
Garfield: What do you suppose it is, Odie?
Odie: I don’t know.
Garfield: Maybe it's a charm with magical flying powers. Or maybe it's a flying carpet, or a winged dragon that will fly us right to the studio, where we'll arrive to cheering throngs.
Little Red: Look!
They saw roses on the ground. Garfield picks one up and smells it.
Freddy Frog: (offscreen) Give me a hand with this, will you?
They turned around and saw Freddy wheeling in a hang-glider.
Garfield: We’re gonna die!
Freddy Frog: There you go! This hang glider will get you to the Fun Fest in a flash.
Garfield: Uh, are you sure we won’t crash?
Freddy Frog: Every flight ends in a crash, my chubby child. Some are just a little worse than others.
Lincoln: (nervous) What a comforting thought.
They held onto the hang-glider,
Freddy Frog: Well, off you go before you lose what little nerve you have.
Garfield: Thanks for everything, Freddy. I’ll always be grateful.
Freddy Frog: I still don’t think you’re ready.
The team moved the hang-glider near the cliff, and Garfield looks down.
Garfield: I think I would've rather taken my chances with the flying dragon. We're gonna push off on the count of three, okay?
Odie: Uh-uh.
Lynn: Why not?
Odie refers to his fingers.
Lynn: Oh, you can only count to two.
Odie: Yeah.
Garfield: Okay, Odie, on the count of two. One, two.
They push the glider off and they flew down rapidly.
Garfield: Odie! Do you know how to fly this thing?
Odie: No.
Garfield: Oh, boy, are we stupid! Well, let's try something.
They steered the hang glider to the left and flew.
Luan: We’re gonna live!
Lincoln: Look out!
They moved the glider away from rocks and trees.
Garfield: Oh, stomach, don’t fail me now.
Soon, they flew above the trees.
Garfield: I think we got it. All right.
Leonard and Roger saw the flying team.
Leonard: So long! Goodbye!
Roger: Come back soon!
They say goodbye to Junior and Momma below.
Garfield: Bye-bye!
Junior: Ooh! Bye!
Momma: Bye!
Stan popped out of a tree to bid farewell.
Stanislavsky: See ya!
Garfield: Bye, Stan! Thanks for all the help.
That night, at Fun Fest…
Ramone: And now, ladies and gentlemen, a kitty who is almost as talented as me. Please welcome to the stage, Shecky.
Shecky arrives onstage as the audience cheered.
Shecky: Good evening, genties and ladlemen.
Outside, we see Garfield and the gang flying over the cartoon town.
Lincoln: There’s the studio, guys!
There were lights outside the studio.
The Gang: Wow.
Garfield: Are you ready to make a grand entrance?
Odie: Yeah, yeah.
Lynn: Ready as we’ll ever be.
Garfield: Any idea how to land this thing?
Odie: No, no.
Luan: Don’t look at me.
Little Red: Let’s aim for the street.
They zoomed toward the street.
Garfield: Left! Left!
They turned left and flew down the street while avoiding cars.
Garfield: Look out!
They dodged an oncoming semi-truck, but they were heading for the gate.
Garfield: Look out! Over the guard gate.
They broke through the gate.
Garfield: Through the guard gate. How about the parking lot? (they flew up) Or not.
They flew like wild and were heading for the studio sign.
Garfield: The studio! Let’s dot the I.
The team flew towards the I and they hit the window. Luckily, it tipped over and they landed inside the attic.
Garfield: So much for a grand entrance.
Lincoln: Looks like the show’s on.
They look through a window as they watch Fun Fest go underway.
Shecky: For my first number, I'd like to sing something from my latest album. (singing) You only got me when you got me! You only squeeze me when you squeeze me!
The audience cheered as he dodges objects thrown at him. They’re part of the show, mind you. After finishing his song, he bows to the cheering crowd. Betty, Bonnie, and Leni gave a score of 9, while Bonita gives it a 7.
Luan: Looks like Shecky’s got himself a place in the cartoon world.
Shecky: Thank you, thank you, I love you all. (leaves)
Ramone: Thank you. And good luck to you in the competition. Please, one more hand for the funny kitty.
Garfield watched in anger.
Garfield: Why, that cheesy cougar. I’m supposed to be the MC.
Ramone: Our next act, the one and only Garfield!
A spotlight shined, waiting for Garfield, but he wasn’t there. Ramone chuckled to himself as the audience wondered where he went.
Garfield: Quick, guys. We gotta find a way to get down there.
They went down to the vent and looked at Eli’s workstation.
Ramone: (to Charles) Charles!
Charles: (talks into his radio) Eli! Where’s Garfield!
Eli: (via radio) I don’t know.
Garfield and friends enter the workstation via vent.
Eli: (via radio) Garfield! He’s here! He’s here!
Ramone: Lazy cats. They're always late, aren't they? Never to be counted on.
Charles: Psst! Psst! He’s here!
Ramone: It appears Garfield is only a moment away. For now, you will all have to be content gazing upon my beauty.
The judges swoon at Ramone. Back at the workstation…
Eli: It’s about time.
Garfield: (tries to help his friends down) Come on, guys.
Eli: Where’ve you been?
Garfield: Getting funny, buddy boy, at the Fountain of Funny.
The others fell down.
Garfield: Just wait till you see me out there.
Eli: Well, you’d better hurry.
The cat opens his bag and gets out the flask.
Garfield: Just one more sip of this, and I’ll be good to go.
He looks at the flask, but it appears to be broken.
Garfield: What?!
Eli: What’s wrong?
Garfield: I’m toast. There goes Fun Fest, there goes everything.
Eli: What are you talking about?
Garfield: My funny water’s gone. I can’t go on.
He sighs as he throws away the broken flask and departs glumly.
Eli: Garfield!
Charles: (via radio) Eli! What happened to Garfield?
Eli: (via radio) I don’t think he’s coming.
Charles: (to Ramone) He’s not coming. Move on with the show.
Ramone: Well, it looks as if we'll be moving on to our last act of the evening. Ladies and gentlemen, you are going to be treated to the tango, performed by the lovely Arlene and yours truly, just for you, so sit back and enjoy.
The audience cheers as the curtains open. Arlene, in her tango outfit, is seen dancing with Ramone. Garfield and the others watch from backstage as the performance plays. Ramone twirls Arlene and throws her in the air, followed by catching her. As Arlene danced with Ramone, she saw Garfield.
Ramone: Huh?
But Garfield and his friends leave the scene.
Arlene: Garfield.
Ramone continues the tango with her. Outside, Garfield sits on the curb, sulking. Lincoln, Lynn, and Luan look at him as the rest of the Loud kids, Ronnie Anne, and the Peanuts kids walk to them. His one chance to win back Arlene was ruined, now that the flask is broken.
Garfield: (to himself) Nice going, Garfield. You really did it this time. (kicks a can) You had it all, pal.
The others came to see him, including Odie.
Ronnie Anne: What’s wrong, Garfield?
Garfield: My humor's gone, guys, and my girl is gone, all because… Because I'm, I'm… I'm sure there's a word for it.
???: Arrogant?
They looked and saw Freddy Frog in the alley.
Freddy Frog: Conceited? Egotistical? Self-centered? Difficult? A prima donna?
Garfield: What are you doing here?
Freddy Frog: I came to see how my student is doing.
Garfield: I flunked my final. That's how I'm doing. Now, I'd just like to be left alone.
Freddy Frog: Back at the pond, I said you weren't ready yet.
Garfield: I'll be ready and raring to go if you give me some more of that funny water.
Freddy Frog: That won’t do any good.
Garfield: Why not?
Freddy Frog: Because funny water is just water.
The Gang: What?
Freddy Frog: Just plain H20, water!
Garfield: But the book, the map.
Freddy Frog: That’s just a story.
Garfield: But the funny water works. Luan and I felt funnier after I drank it.
Freddy Frog: You felt funny, because you are funny. I tried to tell you. It was inside you all along. It was never about the water. It was about your journey.
The Gang: Huh?
Freddy Frog: Stan the squirrel taught you to be honest with your audience. Junior the bear taught you to follow your heart. And the alligators, humility. Odie knew.
Odie: Yeah.
Freddy Frog: Garfield, you forgot to entertain. You were working so hard at trying to win, you forgot to make the audience laugh. You forgot to follow your heart.
Garfield: Follow my heart. (gets out a wilted rose) Yeah. I’m gonna have to try a lot harder next time.
Little Red: There may not be a next time, Garfield.
Freddy Frog: Your red-haired friend is right.
Garfield thought for a moment. Back onstage, Ramone spun Arlene around and threw her in the air. As Arlene spun, she was grabbed by another figure. It was Garfield in a tango costume. The audience cheered at his return while Ramone looked peeved. The two cats start doing the tango, but Ramone grabs her away from him. Luckily, with quick speed, Garfield retakes Arlene. They take her from each other back and forth until the three spin in a tornado. When the dust clears, it’s just Ramone with Garfield. The Spanish cat tries to throw him off, but the fat cat held onto his leg. Garfield was then kicked up onto the lights, with a piece of pants cloth in hand. It revealed a robotic leg.
Eli: Oh, no!
Eli lowers the lights down as Ramone danced with Arlene. Garfield climbed up on the steel girders.
Garfield: I’m okay, Eli.
He ties a rope around his stomach and jumped down to rescue Arlene from being kissed by the cocky cat. Upon grabbing her from Ramone, however, he tore a cloth from his sleeve, revealing what seems to be a robotic arm.
Ramone: You!
Garfield: (to Arlene) Shall we?
The baddie starts climbing up the girders.
Arlene: Thank you, Garfield.
He takes Arlene away and jumps down, but Garfield is close behind and grabbed him. They all got back on the girder as Garfield pulled Ramone’s right arm off. Arlene was surprised at Ramone not feeling a thing.
Arlene: Yikes! Your arm!
Ramone: (sees his missing arm and Garfield) You! (spins away with Arlene)
Garfield looks at the arm and pulls down a hanger, making it move.
Garfield: Huh?
Ramone: Do it for the character, Arlene. Keep dancing!
He prepares to kiss her again, but Garfield uses the robotic hand to grab him by the leg.
Garfield: Gotcha!
Ramone flings him off, ripping the entire leg off in the process. As he hops away on one foot, Garfield follows him down the Fun Fest sign.
Garfield: Arlene!
Arlene: Garfield!
He hides behind a sign as Ramone resumes the tango with her. When they got near, he grabs Ramone’s other leg with the arm and pulls it off. However, Ramone, despite being nothing but a chest and head, continues the charade.
Arlene: (weirded out) What’s happening?
Garfield gains the courage to walk up to the Spanish cat and prepares to punch him with the robot arm. Instead, he flings the hat off his head and pulls his face off, revealing….
Garfield: Nermal!
Arlene: Nermal!
Judges: Nermal?!
Audience: Nermal?!
Another figure popped out alongside Nermal.
Snowball: Did we win the fun fest?
Lincoln: Snowball?!
Little Red: Snowball?!
Loud Girls: Snowball?!
Peanuts Gang: Snowball?!
Donkey: Donkey!
A beat was dropped.
Donkey: What?
Nermal: Who are these Nermal and Snowball of which you speak?
Garfield: (grabs them with the robot arm) Why I oughta...
Before he could give the two what’s coming, the audience starts cheering. Garfield and Arlene bowed, while Nermal and Snowball with the other Flushed Pets who are in the suit leave the scene quietly. Garfield throws away the mask, which lands on Leni.
Leni: Ahh!!! Get it off me!! (throws the mask away)
Garfield: Hit it!
Tango music starts playing and Garfield and Arlene begin their long-awaited dance. The two danced together in harmony and the former holds her in a position.
Garfield: Arlene, I’m sorry.
Arlene: Sorry?
Garfield: For not saying I'd dance with you to begin with. I should've realized this is more important than winning Fun Fest.
Arlene: Who says we won’t win?
They got back on their dance and finished it with grace. The crowd cheers wildly as the two embraced hands. From the workstation, Eli cheered.
Eli: Alright, buddy! Whoo! Yeah!
Freddy Frog was seen watching while holding a cup of coffee.
Freddy Frog: Way to go, Garfield!
Charles: Judges?
The judges all gave them a perfect score of 10. Yes, the judges, including Bonita, gave Garfield and Arlene a 10.
Charles: Never seen perfect scores before. Ladies and gentlemen, the winners of Fun Fest, Garfield and Arlene!
The place erupted in cheers as Garfield and Arlene bowed. Backstage…
Nermal: I got it! Next year I'll be Pierre, the flaming-baton-twirling cabaret singer, no?
Lana and Odie looked skeptically at him.
Lana: Yeah, right.
As Snowball starts to attack Lana in rage, Charles placed flower wreaths over Garfield and Arlene’s heads.
Charles: Congratulations!
Garfield gets out the wilted rose and shows it to Arlene.
Garfield: This one’s for you.
She happily takes the rose and the two kiss as the scene transitions into an illustration from the book.
Narrator: And they all lived happily ever after. The end.
A hand closed the book, revealing it to be Freddy Frog narrating the entire story. We then see Freddy flying gleefully on his hang-glider.
Freddy Frog: Yahoo!
He flew around the comic studio and the story comes to a close as fades us to a book of the entire story in a pair of different hands.
----
Our story begins in space as a text crawl rises up.
Narrator: In another dimension...a galaxy far, far, really far away, at the final frontier of space… Eh, yadda, yadda, yadda. Does anybody really read these things? I mean, come on, people. If you're freeze-framing this scene just so you can go and read the scroll, well, what's up with that? Just because words are marching off into infinity against an outer space background, do you think there are some universal truths printed here? Well, you're right. Here they are: Look both ways before crossing the street, and obey your mother. If that's too tough for you, then look both ways before crossing your mother. Anyhow, in the far reaches of space, lives a planet known as Dorkon where an incredible discovery was made and gets the attention… of a certain unknown evil beyond the stars.
Soon, a spaceship is seen flying in the far reaches of space. It stops on a sign with different arrows to different places. One caught its attention, that being one that leads to Dorkon. So, it zooms off toward the direction of the arrow. We fade to the planet Dorkon, where we see a short man running to see the emperor. This man was Professor Wally, while the Emperor looked a lot like Jon.
Professor Wally: Oh! Emperor! Emperor! I’ve got it! I’ve got it! (holds out a shiny crystal) The Klopman Crystal! The ultimate power source. (goes over to a blaster) Now I can finally complete the “moscram” gun. The molecular scrambler, that is.
He inserts the crystal into the gun’s container and the power levels rose up.
Professor Wally: Take a look at this. (to the lawyer) If you please.
The lawyer got up from his desk and walked next to the royal dog.
Professor Wally: Here, we have the royal dog and the court’s lawyer. Now I fire up the moscram, and...
He fires at the two and their molecules are scrambled, resulting in a dog-headed lawyer and a lawyer-headed dog. The royal guards are amazed by this.
Professor Wally: I scramble their molecules...and create a dog who'll not only bring in the paper, but he'll read it to you as well.
Emperor Jon: (yawns) And what’s that?
Professor Wally: Oh, that. That’s a lawyer who’ll work for treats. Right, boy?
Lawyer Dog: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Professor Wally: And whatever you moscram will be under your control. (to the dog lawyer) Read the paper.
He reads the newspaper as told.
Dog Lawyer: “Man bites dog.”
Lawyer Dog: Huh? Oh, the humanity!
Professor Wally: To reverse the effect, we simply…
He blasts his laser at the two, reverting them back to normal.
Professor Wally: The moscram can combine anything. Its potential uses are infinite.
The emperor sees a blue button with the words “Super Scramble.”
Emperor Jon: What’s that button?
Professor Wally: That’s super-scramble mode. I’m still working on that modification.
Emperor Jon: Well, the whole thing looks dangerous to me.
Professor Wally: Really, Emperor, there’s no need to be concerned.
Emperor Jon: It isn't that, Professor. It's... Well, look around you. This big royal hall seems so empty without a queen. The royal bloodline will come to an end if I don't find a wife.
Professor Wally: It’s bound to happen soon, Emperor.
Emperor Jon: Are you kidding? I’m too dorky, even for Dorkonian women. No. Any woman who’d marry me will have to come from another planet.
Outside, the spaceship lands near the palace. A figure walked out of the vehicle. Back inside…
Professor Wally: People will come across the galaxy to see the amazing moscram.
Emperor Jon: Oh, boy.
He then hears the doors open.
Emperor Jon: Huh?
Entering the palace was an intergalactic woman and her dog soldiers. The sight of the woman made the emperor blush in response.
???: Hello there.
Emperor Jon: Oh-oh-oh! Welcome! I mean.. Welcome to Dorkon. I’m Emperor Jon. Uh, Miss..
Vetvix: Call me Vetvix, sweetie.
Emperor Jon: (with hearts in his eyes) Oh!
Vetvix: Nice place you got here.
Emperor Jon: Well, Miss Vetvix, I hope you don't think this is too forward, but… Will you marry me?
Vetvix: Hmm?
Emperor Jon: I know I'm not the handsomest guy in the galaxy, but I can offer you everything I have- uh, jewels, my castle...uh….uh, the keys to my kingdom.
She looks at the professor, who was putting up the moscram blaster and activating the lasers by turning the key. This gave her a diabolical idea.
Vetvix: Keys? Why, of course I’ll marry you.
Emperor Jon: Huh? Wait a minute. You will?
Vetvix: Sure.
Emperor Jon: Wow! Did you hear that, Professor? She said yes!
Professor Wally: I heard.
Emperor Jon: Well, what are we waiting for?
Professor Wally: But, Emperor, uh…(looks over at Vetvix)
Vetvix: (waves back) Hello.
Professor Wally: Well… okay.
Emperor Jon: Yes! (laughs happily)
Wally pressed a button on the throne’s armchair, getting the place prepped up for a wedding. A dress lady pops out from a hole.
Dress Lady: Here you are. (puts a veil on Vetvix’s head) Perfect.
Vetvix: Oh, that’s nice.
The organ pipes and its player appeared while the dog soldiers were given bouquets of flowers. Emperor Jon and Vetvix got up to the stand as Professor Wally becomes their bishop.
Professor Wally: Do you, Emperor Jon, take this... woman to be your wife?
Emperor Jon: I doody-do-do!
Professor Wally: And do you, Vetvix, take this man to be your husband?
Vetvix: Why not?
Professor Wally: I now pronounce you emperor and queen. You may kiss the bride.
The emperor prepares to kiss Vetvix, however, the woman got one of her dog guards to take her place. Jon’s eyes were closed, so he didn’t notice that he was really kissing the dog.
Professor Wally: Blech!
Emperor Jon: That was… wonderful.
Vetvix: Likewise. Now, what about those… keys to the kingdom?
Emperor Jon: You bet. (to Professor Wally) Professor.
Professor Wally: Are you sure?
Emperor Jon: Of course I’m sure. My castle is her castle.
Reluctantly, Wally holds out the keys and Vetvix instantly grabs them.
Professor Wally: Hey!
Vetvix: I’ll take those.
Emperor Jon: Honey? Uh, what are you doing?
She uses the keys to disable the lasers and she took the moscram.
Emperor Jon: Uh, be careful with that, honey.
Vetvix: This is what I came for.
Professor Wally: Guards!
The guards showed up, one of them swinging his nunchucks like Bruce Lee. However, one of the dog soldiers threw a flower bouquet at him and the man accidentally knocks himself out with his nunchucks. Soon, Vetvix fired the weapon at the guards, turning them into mixed-up zombies.
Vetvix: Your guards are no longer a threat to me. They’re now under my control.
Mixed-Up Zombies: Must obey.
Everyone else in the wedding ceremony ran away as the zombies slowly chased after them.
Mixed-Up Zombies: Vetvix is the greatest.
The doors were shut closed.
Vetvix: (removes the veil from her head) The moscram ray gun is the perfect weapon for an up-and-coming super-villainess like me. (laughs evilly)
Professor Wally: Oh, no.
Vetvix: With this, I can mutate everyone on the planet into my slaves. Step one on my to-do list for universal domination.
Emperor Jon: But, honey, if you're off conquering the universe, when will we have time for our honeymoon?
The professor pushed a secret button that calls out Pet Force.
Professor Wally: You'll never get away with this, Vetvix… not if the Pet Force has anything to say about it.
Vetvix: Nothing can stop me.
Suddenly, the doors burst open and in the light was Pet Force.
Garzooka: We’re here to put an end to your wicked ways.
Vetvix: Bring it on!
Garzooka: Let the fur fly.
Professor Wally: (voiceover) Odious, the canine crusader with a potent stun tongue...
Using his tongue, Odious knocks one of the dog guards back.
Professor Wally: (voiceover) ...and a black hole where his brain should be. (cuts to Starlena) Stalena, whose icy stare...
Dog Soldier: (gets out a blaster) Don’t move!
She uses her icy stare to freeze him still.
Professor Wally: (voiceover) ...freezes all bad guys in their tracks. (cuts to Abnermal) Abnermal, quick as a blink with pester power of cosmic proportions.
The little kitten speeds around one of the dogs and takes his gun.
Abnermal: Is this your gun? (speeds around him) Is this your belt?
The dog’s pants drop down and he trips backwards.
Professor Wally: (voiceover) And Garzooka, hero of heroes, with his gamma-radiated hairballs!
Garzooka upchucked a hairball near Vetvix, while Odious is seen with the female organ player. However, Vetvix fires the moscram at the two, Starlena, and a flower pot.
Abnermal: You’re not gonna get me!
He tries to run fast, but is hit by the laser, along with a little girl’s doll. Now, Abnermal’s head is on the doll’s body while the doll’s head is on his body.
Abnermal: Vetvix is my master. Must obey.
The organ player’s head was on Odious’s body, with Odious’s head on her body.
Organ Player: All hail Vetvix.
Starlena’s head was on the flower pot, and the flowers were on her body.
Vetvix: Your Pet Force is no match for me. I now control them, too. (laughs evilly)
Hiding behind a pillar, Garzooka barfs out a hairball at the blaster, causing the diamond to pop out. It was flying through the air.
Vetvix: Hey!
It was then grabbed by Garzooka.
Garzooka: Got it!
Vetvix: Get Garzooka, you fools!
The dog soldiers got up, ready to fight Garzooka.
Professor Wally: (whistles) Hey!
He holds up a bone and the dogs start panting.
Professor Wally: Here, boys!
He throws it far, so the dogs could go after it. While they were distracted, the professor opens a secret door.
Professor Wally: Garzooka!
He and Garzooka enter the door to a secret lab.
Garzooka: I must return, Professor. My teammates are under Vetvix's control. And only the moscram ray gun can unscramble them.
Professor Wally: We've got to keep the Klopman Crystal far away. That'll buy you time to create a temporary Pet Force to defeat her.
Garzooka: Create another Pet Force?
Professor Wally: Exactly. First, I’ll scan the universe for DNA matches.
He goes on his computer to check for some matches. The results are Arlene, Nermal, and Odie.
Professor Wally: A-ha! There they are! DNA matches to your Pet Force teammates.
There was banging on the door outside.
Vetvix: (offscreen) Open up!
Professor Wally: (tapping on the keyboards) Come on, come on.
The matches are printed out from the computer and Wally hands them to Garzooka.
Garzooka: But they don’t look anything like them.
Professor Wally: (opens a suitcase full of green and red serums) They will when they drink the matching green serum. When they do, they'll gain the Pet Force's superpowers. The red serum will turn them back to their normal forms.
Garzooka: (takes the suitcase) Program the coordinates into my rover.
Vetvix: (offscreen) Let us in!
The lone leader goes into his spaceship.
Professor Wally: Hurry, Garzooka! It’s a dangerous journey. You’ll have to cross the interdimensional barrier.
Garzooka: You can count on me, Professor Wally. No asteroid storm or exploding supernova can stop me.
Vetvix: (offscreen) Open up!
Garzooka: The Pet Force shall rise again to battle the insidious…
Professor Wally: Escape now! (closed the spaceship roof) Postulate later!
The professor pulled the lever and launched the hero into space as Vetvix kicks the door open. She watches as the ship leaves the planet.
Vetvix: I’ll get Garzooka if it’s the last thing I do.
As it turns out, this event was part of a Pet Force comic book as it was read by Nermal. He and the gang, including the Louds, were outside having a barbecue party with Jon.
Nermal: "Will Vetvix capture Garzooka and use the moscram ray gun to conquer the universe? Read the anniversary issue of Pet Force and find out!" Oh, wow! What a cool story!
Lincoln: Yeah! All those powers demonstrated in the issue were so awesome!
Lana: I love Odious!
Garfield: What's so cool about it? It's just a gimmick to make you buy the next issue.
Nermal: Speaking of which, the supersized anniversary "ish"... has a gold foil-stamped, embossed holographic glow-in-the-dark cover! Look! (throws them the comic book) And it comes out today! Whoo-hoo!
Garfield: Get a life, Nermal. You don't really believe that stuff, do you? It's not like real life.. (eats a hot dog) ...like here in the newspaper comics.
Jon: What if it is real, Garfield? I used to imagine myself the cool ruler of an entire planet.
He almost drops the plate, but he grabs it before it could fall.
Garfield: Uh, stab me another hot dog there, Your Highness.
Leni: But wouldn’t it be great to do something that meant something?
Garfield: Sounds like that would mean actually, uh… getting involved. That takes a lot of effort.
Arlene: Anything worth doing requires effort.
Garfield: Nothing ventured, nothing ventured, I say. No pain, no pain.
Arlene groans.
Nermal: Well, anything would be more exciting than sitting around here watching pickle relish dribble down your chin.
Garfield: Huh? Where? (rubs his chin)
Nermal laughed at his foolishness while Arlene was looking through the comic book.
Garfield: Oh. Since when you start reading comics?
Arlene: I’m just lookin’ at the pictures. (shows Garfield a picture of Garzooka) Mmm, Garzooka’s pretty easy on the eyes.
Garfield: But he’s got nothing on me. Hmph.
He got off the table, with his big belly showing.
Arlene: Oh, brother.
Lola: You and me both.
Garfield takes the cooking fork from Jon.
Garfield: I’ll take that.
Jon: It’s all yours.
Garfield: (imitates Garzooka) I'm here to put an end to your evil ways, Vetvix. Supernova? (puts the sausage on the grill) Ha! I eat 'em for lunch. (puts the fork there as well) Let the fur fly. (his belly distends)
Jon: Sad.
Arlene: So sad.
Lisa: Very depressing.
Odie barks for attention.
Jon: What?
He points to Jon’s watch.
Jon: Oh. Thanks, Odie. Hey, gang, we'd better get going. I wanna get to the studio early to get ready for the strip today.
The gang got up and were ready to leave.
Luan: Come on, Garfield.
Garfield: Uh-oh. I- Listen, I'll, uh- Oh, uh, you guys go ahead. I'll catch up.
Luan: So we get there early to set everything up, and you waltz in at the last minute.
Garfield: (pushes her away) I'll be there in time for my, uh, close-up.
Lincoln: I’ll keep him company while you guys are busy.
Lori: Hey, if anyone’s looking after anyone, it’s me.
Lola: Oh, please, you need class to keep watch.
Leni: I can’t wait to see how this hot dog contest plays off.
Lucy: You guys go on ahead. We’ll catch up later… (looks over at Garfield) ...hopefully.
And so, the others went in without Garfield, with Lincoln, Lori, Leni, Lola, and Lucy.
Garfield: Well, I'd like to see Garzooka beat me in a hot dog-eating contest.
Meanwhile, as Jon drives to the studio...
Nermal: Oh, Jon! Can we stop at the newsstand? Please! I wanna pick up that new issue of Pet Force.
Jon: Sure. I am kind of curious about what happens to that handsome emperor.
They stop at the newspaper stand.
Nermal: Excuse me. Yeah, down here.
Newspaper Boy: Huh?
Nermal: Do you have the new anniversary issue of Pet Force? (gets out the latest issue)
Newspaper Boy: Huh? Yeah, sure.
Nermal: Hey, hey, hey. Careful. Don't crease it. That's a collector's issue.
In another dimension, Garzooka’s ship was approaching the barrier.
Computer: Warning. Approaching interdimensional barrier.
Back at the cartoon world...
Newspaper Boy: You know, readin' this stuff will stunt your growth, kid.
As Nermal gives him the money, the place shook for a moment.
Nermal: What was that?
Newspaper Boy: Maybe it's an alien invasion. Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
Nermal: Don't make fun of me.
Newspaper Boy: Watch your back, kid. The aliens are comin'. What a loser.
Nermal: (as he goes to the car) Hmph.
The car drives off to the studio.
Newspaper Boy: (as he picks up some comic books) Goofy kid. Who does he think he's foolin'?
Back in the other dimension, the ship was zooming very fast, so Garzooka pulled the emergency brake to stop the ship. He then pushed a button to open the window and he zoomed out of the page and into the cartoon world. The boy was surprised at his sudden appearance.
Garzooka: Excuse me, kind sir. Do you know these people? (shows him the pictures of Arlene, Nermal, and Odie)
Newspaper Boy: (points nervously to the right) That way.
Garzooka: The universe is indebted to you.
He zooms off and the boy faints. Unaware that a few flushed animals were witnessing this undercover.
Snowball: (gets his pathier out of his mouth; amazed) No way.
In Jon’s car, Nermal was reading the latest anniversary issue of Pet Force.
Nermal: (reading) "and Garzooka comes out" (turns the page) Whoa! I don't believe it.
Arlene: What?
Nermal: Thi-Thi-This isn’t happening.
Lana: What is it?
Nermal: We’re in the comic book!
He showed them a comic panel of the entire gang at the backyard having a barbecue.
Nermal: Here we are having a cookout. Look. It even shows me buying the comic and...and… (turns the next page) Oh, my gosh!
Luna: What now?
Nermal: It’s Garzooka. He is in Cartoon World. The DNA matches to the Pet Force are right here.
Arlene: So, what happens next?
Nermal: Um, let me see. Let me turn the page and...
He turns the page, only to find blank pages.
Nermal: Hey.
They checked the rest of the pages, but they’re blank.
Lisa: Fascinating. The rest of the pages are blank.
Nermal: Because… it hasn’t happened yet.
Outside Jon’s house, Garzooka rang the doorbell. There was no response, so he knocked on the door.
Garzooka: Hello! (accidentally pulled the door open) Hello? Anybody home? (his strength breaks through the walls) Hello?
Garfield was busy stuffing his face with hot dogs as usual. He was about to use the relish on one of his hot dogs, but the jar lid was tricky to open.
Garfield: I wonder if we’ve got any relish that’s already open.
He prepares to go to the kitchen when he saw Garzooka inside. The cat was surprised at this.
Garzooka: (opens the door) Comrade.
Garfield: (scared) Mommy!
Garzooka: (picks him up) There’s nothing to fear.
Garfield: Don’t eat me! Don’t eat me! Please!
Garzooka: Eat you? (chuckles) You have a sense of humor, my interstellar brother.
Lincoln: Hey, Garfield, what’s going… (sees Garzooka) Oh, my goodness, it’s Garzooka!
Garzooka: Ah. The young boy knows who I am.
Leni: OMG! He’s real!
Lori: Really?!
Lucy: I thought he looked darker like in the movies.
Garzooka: And there are my fangirls.
Lola: So, um, Mr. Garzooka… what brings you here?
Garzooka: I have traveled here to call upon your help to save the universe. (sets Garfield down)
Garfield: Uh, hello?
Garzooka: The evil Vetvix has stolen the moscram ray gun and vowed to enslave the planet Dorkon.
Garfield: Huh?
Garzooka: If she has followed me here, then all of Cartoon World is in danger too.
Garfield: This is a gag, right? A publicity stunt to promote the Pet Force comic book. Come here. (pulls on Garzooka’s face) Is there an actor inside that mask? If I were you, I’d fire my agent.
Garzooka: What are you talking about? (his face bounced back) Where are these three? (shows them pictures of Arlene, Nermal, and Odie) I need them.
Garfield: They’re, uh, at the studio.
Garzooka: Very well. I shall go and get them. Vetvix is sure to be looking for me. I need you to hold on to the Klopman Crystal. (hands him the Klopman Crystal)
Garfield: Wow. (takes the crystal)
Garzooka: Keep the crystal safe. It cannot fall into Vetvix's hands. And remember… One cat can make a difference. (salutes to Garfield)
Garfield: (salutes back) Uh, before you go, can you, uh… (holds up a jar of relish) ...open this?
Back in the comic book world, Emperor Jon and Professor Wally were tied up as Vetvix growled in anger.
Vetvix: We've lost Garzooka's tracks. Scan for his exact coordinates.
Dog Guard: Cat scan underway.
Professor Wally: We’ve got to do something.
Emperor Jon: I'll have a talk with her, Professor. After all, she is my wife. (to Vetvix) Um, honey? If you could just give us back the moscram, I’m sure we could...
Vetvix: Shut up, dork! You're only here so you and your Professor can answer any questions I have about this moscram.
Emperor Jon: I guess we'll have to work on our communication. This happens with new couples.
Vetvix checks on the computer until it found the DNA match of Garzooka.
Vetvix: Yes! There he is! Program the coordinates and prepare to cross the interdimensional barrier.
Back in the real world, the boy was picking up a few papers off the ground.
Newspaper Boy: Superhero cat from another dimension. Oh, please! I gotta stop readin' that stuff.
Soon, the disguised Flushed Pets arrived near him.
Newspaper Boy: Aww…. a cute bab…
It’s revealed that Snowball is the baby in the carriage. He glares at him, and the boy screams. He then looks at the woman, who is actually Tattoo and he screams again. Then, the Bearded Dragon bursts out of the chest, and he screams again. He runs out of the scene, and the Pets laugh and beats him up. Later, Snowball inspects the comic.
Snowball: That Fun Fest may be a bust but this comic has that weird buffy cat coming out. If he came out of this then we can get in and be famous!
Tattoo: Eh, boss, you sure you know what your doing?
Snowball: Believe me, Tattoo. I know what I’m doing. (sees something about to pop out of the comic and backs away.) Yipes!
Suddenly, the villainess’ ship pops out of the comic book and into the cartoon world.
Tattoo: Boss, you seeing this?!
Snowball: (gets an idea) Its out ticket to popularity! After that ship! (the pets leaves)
As it flies off, the boy faints again. The flushed pets soon went near the ship on top of a building…
Snowball: Okay, guys. You ready?
Tattoo: Boss, I don’t think that…
Snowball cried his battle cry and ran to the end of the roof as he was on the wing of the ship.
Snowball: I’m on! I’m on!
He soon went to the door and knocks on it.
Dog Guard: I’ll get it. (opens it and gets attacked by Snowball)
Snowball: This ship is ours now!
Suddenly, a gun was cocked as it was from the villainess holding the weapon at him.
Vetvix: What are you, creature of Cartoon World?
Snowball: Cartoon world? Hold up. Hold up. ( the rest of the pets arrived) We ain’t from the cartoon world. We’re from the real world. And we came here by a portal we made as plan B of my comic strip plan. We’re here to take your ship so that we can ram it into that stupid comic studio!
Vetvix: Comic studio? This ship is mine, not for the likes of animals like you!
Tattoo: Boss, what do we do?
Snowball: Hold on, Tattoo. I’m negotiating here. We saw that weird cat coming out of that comic and it was our way of getting famous by jumping into the comic book but now… this just keeps getting interesting.
Vetvix: What does this cat look like?
Snowball: He’s like that weird lazy cat but stronger, taller, and has a weird cape. I mean, edna said no capes!
Vetvix puts the weapon away when he hears him about what the cat was.
Vetvix: Garzooka. Hmm… You help me find him, and this ship is yours.
Snowball: A deal? And that was Garzooka? Well, then. We’ll help you take down this Garzooka and you help kill those Loud kids to bits!
Vetvix: Then so be it. A deal is a deal. Just tell me where Garzooka is heading and I’ll help you take down these loud kids.
Snowball: (with an evil grin) Oh, I know just where.
Back with the others, they were at the comic studio, where Nermal was checking on the book.
Arlene: Nermal, why don't you put that comic away. We have to get to work.
Nermal: Just a sec, Arlene. You won’t believe this. Look!
Odie: Yeah. Look!
She and the rest of the sisters look at the page. It showed an illustration of the gang entering the studio.
Nermal: This just appeared in the comic! That’s us comin’ to the studio. And look! Here comes another one!
A page fades into view, showing Garzooka looming over them. As it turns out, he was behind them. They jumped back in surprise.
Garzooka: Hi there.
Nermal: Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! It's Garzooka! What are you doin' here?
Garzooka: As fate would have it, I have come for you three.
Arlene: You have?
Nermal: Wait a minute. You mean, when you left Dorkon with the D.N.A. serum, you were comin' to get us?
Garzooka: And with your help, Vetvix will be defeated. Dorkon will survive, and so will Cartoon World. Are you with me?
Nermal: Count me in! Where do I sign? I’m so there!
Arlene: How are we supposed to help you?
Garzooka: (holds up a green serum) This serum is matched to the D.N.A. of each member of Pet Force.
Nermal: The green serum will give us Pet Force powers!
Garzooka: (hands Arlene, Nermal, and Odie green serums) In all of the universe, only the three of you match the D.N.A. of my team members.
Nermal: Cool!
Arlene: Uh, has this ever been tested?
Garzooka: There has never been a reason to... until now. Drink up, fellow heroes. The fate of two worlds hangs in the balance.
Lana: But what if it doesn’t work and turns them into freaks?
Nermal: Freaks? (pictures himself as a six-armed freak) Sweet!
Nermal drinks up his serum.
Nermal: Mmm! Pungent, yet satisfying. So, fellow freaks, are you with me?
Odie: Yeah, yeah! (drinks his serum)
Arlene: Oh, here goes. (drinks her serum) Blech. So now what’s supposed to happen?
Garzooka: You should feel energy, strength, and vitality electrifying your entire body.
Nermal flexes for power, only to fart.
Luna: Oh, man!
Nermal: I don’t feel any different.
Arlene: Me neither.
Odie: Uh-uh.
Garzooka: That's impossible. Maybe your metabolisms are slow.
He shakes up the little kitten, but he was dizzy from the shaking.
Garzooka: Hmm. I was assured this would work.
Lisa: Maybe you should give it time.
Garzooka: Time is not a luxury we have.
Back at Jon’s house, Garfield was lounging in his chair, drinking lemonade.
Garfield: Ahh. This is the life.
As he relaxed under the sun, a huge shadow loomed over the land.
Garfield: Oh, come on. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky a minute ago.
He and the others looked up to see a big spaceship.
Lori: Oh, man. Are you seeing this?
Leni: I need to get a picture! Where’s my cellphone?
Garfield: Mommy!
A beam is sent down on them, causing them to hover up into the ship, with the Klopman Crystal in the chair. Soon, they were inside, where they saw dog guards and the tied-up Emperor Jon and Professor Wally.
Garfield: Jon! Wally! What the heck is goin’ on here?
Emperor Jon: Who are you?
Professor Wally: How do you know our names?
As he goes over to them, Vetvix blocks his path.
Vetvix: You and your friends are now our prisoners, tubby one. That’s what’s going on.
Snowball: If it isn’t old Garfield and friends...
The Flushed Pets appear.
Lincoln: What the?! You again? You were disqualified!
Snowball: And it was humiliating! We would’ve been the famous cartoon stars of all if you didn’t ruin our plans! First you ruined the audition and now you ruined my Fun Fest!
Lola: Well, excuse us, rabbit!
Snowball: Now, we’re here for our revenge! And this time, we’re not alone! For we have joined with Garzooka’s greatest foe, Vetvix!
Garfield: It's true. The story about the Pet Force. It's all true.
Vetvix: Where is Garzooka? I scanned for his DNA and got these coordinates. Unless… you are he.
Garfield: Me… he?
Vetvix: Of course. Ingenious, Garzooka. How you did it, I don't know. But that is quite a disguise, hiding yourself within this fat, dumpy, pathetic little body.
Garfield: Hey, I hate to break it to you, Miss Megalomaniac, but you got the wrong guy.
Vetvix: Me wrong? I don’t think so! I’d like to scramble you with that lawn chair, but I need the Klopman Crystal to power my moscram.
The cat backs away and drops the crystal into his glass of lemonade.
Vetvix: Tell me! Where is it?
Garfield: Where is what?
Vetvix: Very well. If you want to play that game, I can oblige. I'm going to enjoy making you talk. (laughs evilly)
At the comic studio auditorium, while the Peanuts kids and Snoopy are setting up the stages, Jon spots Little Red, Randy Rabbit, Billy Bear, Wally, and Betty at a specific part of the stage, with smiley face walls. They were giggling and smiling.
Jon: Hey, what’s this, Betty?
Betty: Oh. It's my new idea. I call it the "smile section." Sort of like a coffee break area where people come to think happy thoughts.
Jon: Wow. What a great idea.
He enters the smile section and he starts thinking happy thoughts.
Jon: (giggles) Hey, it’s already working.
Betty: See?
Charles: Alright, people, gather round. Betty. Betty!
She and the others got out of the smile section.
Charles: Alright, people, let’s go. Quickly, please! Time is money. Could I have some light down here, Eli?
Eli: You got it.
He turns on the light.
Charles: Thank you. Let’s review today’s shooting schedule. Betty.
Betty: Charles. (clears her throat and checks the clipboard) First up, we'll have "Garfield"...
and-and then the "Life Stinks" comic strip, followed by "Billy Bear's Woods."
Charles: Very well. Now, is everyone present?
Randy Rabbit: I’m here!
Bonita: We’re gonna be here forever.
Ronnie Anne: Hey, where’s Garfield?
Jon: Uh, he’ll be here in a minute, Ronnie.
Charles: Where are the others?
The others showed up.
Arlene: Here we are.
Charles saw something that surprised him. The light shined down on Garzooka.
Garzooka: Huh?
Randy Rabbit: Whoo-hoo-hoo! Holy biceps! Who's that?
Betty: Oh, baby!
Wally: Is that Garfield?
Bonita: Not unless he’s been putting something in his milk.
Ronnie Anne: Who is he?
Lana: It’s Garzooka! He’s a superhero.
Charles: Superhero?
Luna: It’s a long story, bro.
Betty: (zooms by to Garzooka) Excuse me. Are you seeing anyone?
Garzooka: Uh, no.
Betty: Oh, that’s good. Because you’re perfect and I’m desperate.
Charles: Betty, would you please return to the stage?
Betty: I’m stayin’ right here with Mr. Muscle.
Charles: Betty!
Betty: (growls at Charles) Now don’t you go anywhere or I will hunt ya down.
Garzooka: You know, this could be rather fortuitous.
Charles: Now, Mr. Garzooka, if you would, please... (tries to push him, but couldn’t due to Garzooka’s strength) ...take the stage. You will have to be a stand-in for Garfield.
The superhero goes up onstage.
Garzooka: I don’t have time for this.
Charlie Brown: (hands him the script) Here is your script. (leaves the stage)
Charles: Today, Garfield refuses to go jogging. He states that the only thing on him that runs is his nose.
Ronnie, Nermal, and Odie chuckled at this.
Garzooka: Why would you make fun of jogging? Exercise and strict diet should be part of everyone's daily routine. It teaches kids to grow big and strong… (lifts up the stage) like their favorite superhero.
The Peanut Kids: (amused at Garzooka) Oooooo!
Nermal: Awesome!
Back on the ship, Garfield was being twisted by Vetvix’s contraption as a means of torture.
Garfield: Hey, uh, this is kind of uncomfortable. A little more to the right. (the contraption turns right) Little more. (it turns right again) Ahh. That's it.
Snowball: How is it possible that you are able to survive every torture device?
Garfield: I'm a cartoon character. We're supposed to squash and stretch. That's what we do for a living.
Vetvix: You may be resilient, Garzooka, but I'll find a way to make you talk. For the last time, where is the Klopman Crystal?
Lincoln: What are you talking about? He told you before. He’s not Garzooka!
Vetvix: Silence! I must ponder this. Guard! Bring me that lemonade. I’m thirsty.
The purple dog guard goes to the chair and grabs the glass of lemonade, which contained the crystal.
Purple Dog Guard: Um, that’s simple enough.
Vetvix was about to take a sip when she stops to ask.
Vetvix: What would it take for you to tell me where the crystal is?
Garfield: I wouldn’t tell you for all the lasagna in Italy.
Vetvix: I want that crystal so bad I could taste it.
Garfield and the gang watched in fear as she was about to drink.
Garfield: Stop!
Vetvix: Oh.
Garfield: Okay, I'll tell you where the crystal is… if you'll, uh, just give me a drink of that lemonade.
Vetvix: What an odd little cat you are. (hands him lemonade) Here.
The cat slurps up the entire glass, including the glass.
Snowball: So?
Garfield: (his mouth full) So what?
Snowball: Where’s the crystal? And what are you hiding in your mouth?
Garfield: Nothing. I just like sucking on ice.
Vetvix: Uh-huh.
She pulled the lever to shut the windows.
Vetvix: You seem to have a certain glow about you.
She flicks the lights off and something was glowing from inside Garfield.
Garfield: (his mouth full) I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about, lady.
Vetvix: Mm-hmm.
She turns the lights back on and untwists Garfield.
Vetvix: Get the crystal!
The Flushed Pets hold down Garfield as the purple dog guard gets the crystal from his mouth.
Purple Dog Guard: I got it! I got it!
Lucy: Oh, no.
Vetvix: (admiring the crystal) Look at you! (chuckles evilly)
She inserts the crystal into the gun’s container and the power levels rose up. She laughs evilly as she goes to the deck and stores the moscram into a big blaster. She fires at an old man and his bike, resulting in an old man’s head on the front wheel’s part and the front wheel on his body.
Vetvix: (into her mic) You’re under my control now. You are my zombies!
Old Man Bike: Must obey Vetvix.
Vetvix: Oh, yes! Who’s back?
Dog Guards: I don’t know.
Vetvix: Vetvix is back. That’s who. And what’s she gonna get?
Dog Guards: I don’t know.
Vetvix: She’s gonna get Garzooka. And then the whole universe! That’s what. (does her victory dance)
Emperor Jon: Say, she’s not a bad dancer, is she?
Professor Wally: Oh, dear.
Leni: (looks at the mixed-up zombie) Sheesh, talk about bad combo.
Garfield: Boy, I really blew it.
Vetvix: Yes, you did. The real Garzooka would never have been such a fool. Run the D.N.A. scan again. And this time, don't make any mistakes.
Horned Dog Guard: “Don’t make any mistakes.” Always givin' me a hard time. One day, she'll make a mistake and… (the computer finds a match) Huh? Hey! We found him
Vetvix: Program the coordinates. Garzooka is the only thing that stands between me and universal domination! (laughs evilly)
At the comic studio, Wally and Bonita were doing their comic strip photo shoot.
Bonita: Oh, hurry up, Wally.
Charles: And.. take it.
Little Red takes their picture while Garzooka was conversing with Arlene, Nermal, and Odie.
Garzooka: Do you notice any change yet?
Arlene: Just a headache.
Odie: (feels his tongue) Uh-uh.
Nermal: (burps) I think that juice is givin’ me gas.
Garzooka: It's taking too long. Vetvix could be here at any minute. Wait. Do you hear that?
Arlene: No.
He hear a strange sound.
Garzooka: Oh, no!
He goes through the vent and checks through the window. Vetvix’s spaceship was approaching fast. Garzooka returns to the others.
Garzooka: She’s coming.
Charles: Who’s coming?
Garzooka: Vetvix.
Peppermint Patty: Who’s this Vet….
The ship bursts from the wall and debris fell from above. Garzooka rescued the gang from danger.
Vetvix: (on her mic) Oh, Garzooka? Where are you?
They hid behind the debris.
Garzooka: I must get you to safety until the serum takes effect. This way.
They snuck through the place quietly.
Vetvix: (on her mic) Come out, come out, wherever you are.
She then fires the moscram at a few people, turning them into mixed-up zombies.
Eli: Whoa! What the?!
He pushed a button labeled ‘GET IN’ and his station enters a secret shelter.
Garzooka: Outside. Hurry.
Jon: Wait for me.
Garzooka, Jon, and the gang snuck out of the studio auditorium. Vetvix then zaps Charles and Keith, resulting in Keith’s head on Charles’ body and Charles’ head on Keith’s body. Back on the ship..
Thin Dog Guard: (to Emperor Jon and Professor Wally) Stay put!
He puts Garfield and the gang onto the chair.
Thin Dog Guard: Don’t move!
The dog guards watched the screen as people inside the auditorium were now turned into moscram zombies.
Garfield: (sighs) This is all my fault. If I'd kept that crystal from Vetvix, none of this would be happening.
Professor Wally: (quietly) Garfield! You can still fix things.
Garfield: How? Pretty soon, she'll turn Grin City into Zombie-opolis.
Professor Wally: (quietly) Remember the Garzooka credo: “One cat can make a difference.”
Garfield: How?
Professor Wally: Quick. Take my monocle and put it in the window.
Garfield: Why?
Professor Wally: No time to explain. Just do it!
The horned dog guard looks at Garfield and friends, and they grinned. After the guard turns his back, he and the others got to Professor Wally.
Garfield: (grabs the monocle) Here we go.
They are then grabbed by the horned guard.
Horned Dog Guard: What are you doin’ over here?
Garfield: Nothing.
He secretly puts the monocle on the window behind his back and the guard escorts the gang to the front deck, so they can see everyone in the studio get turned into zombies.
The Gang: Yikes!
Meanwhile, the sunlight beams through the monocle, giving the emperor and the professor a chance.
Emperor Jon: (quietly) Go.
The two inch over to the beam, where it starts to burn on the rope. In the studio…
Randy Rabbit: Help! The sky is fallin’!
Billy Bear: Oh, no! Careful!
The two were blasted by the moscram and now, Billy’s head was on Randy’s body and Randy’s head was on Billy’s body. As Vetvix and Snowball laugh evilly, the horned dog guard cleared his throat.
Horned Dog Guard: They won’t stay put.
Snowball: Well, get rid of those meddling pests.
Horned Dog Guard: Yes, sir!
The emperor and the professor see the guard approaching, so they pretended to be sleeping.
Lola: Watch the hair, will you?
The dog opens the garbage chute.
Lola: No! You can’t! That’s…
He stuffs them down the chute and pulled the lever, launching them out of the ship. In his fortified shelter, Eli was checking the cameras.
Eli: Maybe someone escaped into the alley.
He can see the footage of Garzooka and pals, including Little Red and Ronnie Anne, in the alley.
Eli: Alright! They made it!
Garzooka was seen putting up heavy stuff in front of the garage door to prevent the zombies from leaving.
Garzooka: That was only a small taste of Vetvix’s vengeance.
Suddenly, they look up and saw the others fall from the sky and into the frog trash can.
Garzooka: What the?! (gets them out of the frog trash can) Comrades!
Arlene: Garfield!
Lana: Guys!
Ronnie Anne: Lincoln!
Garzooka: It’s good to see you.
Garfield: Oh, it’s good to be alive.
Garzooka: What happened? Why did Vetvix get the crystal?
Lincoln: It was a disaster. Vetvix tortured Garfield and took the crystal.
Lori: And not only that, but she’s joined forces with Snowball, a rabbit who wants revenge on us siblings.
Garfield: We’re sorry.
Garzooka: Well, you did your best, comrades.
Garfield: Then we saw you guys on the monitor. We thought they were gonna turn you into zombies.
Little Red: And they might if somebody doesn’t do something.
Arlene: But the serum isn’t working yet.
Nermal: We’ve gotta speed it up somehow.
Jon: What serum?
Nermal: The Pet Force serum that we drank!
Suddenly, Odie clutched his throat and starts to choke. However, he let out a big burp.
Jon: Oh, Odie.
Ronnie Anne: Yuck!
Nermal: You could change your name to Odor.
Then, the dog’s height increased, a uniform appeared on him, and his muscles grew. He was now Odious.
Arlene: Alright, Odie.
Lana: It’s Odious!
Odie: Mm-hmm!
Then, Arlene grows up to size.
Garzooka: Do not be fearful, Arlene. It won't hurt a bit. At least, I don't think so.
She now had a costume and was known as Starlena. She high-fives with Garzooka and Odious. Next, Nermal is now the speedy Abnermal.
Eli: (watching from his shelter) Man, gotta get me some of that serum.
Nermal: Not fair. You guys changed, and I haven't. (speeds around) Except for the costume. Nothing's happening to me. My arms are still skinny. I'm not big like you guys. That stuff didn't work on me.
Garzooka: Nermal?
Nermal: Yeah?
Garzooka: Do you have any idea how fast you were moving?
Nermal: I am? (speeds around) Yeah! Yahoo! Abnermal! But I should have my own name. Let's see. Flash.
Lincoln: Already taken by DC.
Nermal: Kid Flash?
Luna: Taken, bro.
Nermal: Quicksilver.
Lynn: Taken. Twice. Geez, those Marvel universes are so confusing.
Nermal: The Whizzer?
Garzooka: Believe it or not, that’s taken too.
Nermal: (speeds around) I'm over here. Now I'm here. Now I'm here. Wha… (gets held by Garzooka)
Garzooka: How about putting your superpowers to good use? (to Odie) Odie, try your new stun tongue.
Odie flings out his tongue and it hits Nermal onto a wall.
Nermal: Hey, careful where you aim that thing. Try it on something else.
He looks over near Garfield and Jon, who are looking pretty fearful by now.
Jon: Careful, Odie.
His tongue hits the frog trash can.
Odie: Cool!
Garzooka: Arlene, try your icy stare.
Arlene looks at Garfield.
Garfield: Now, wait just a…
She gives him an icy stare and he is frozen in place.
Arlene: How was that?
Garzooka: Impressive. Most impressive.
Nermal: She's used that stare a lot on Garfield, but it's never quite worked like that before.
Garzooka: Speaking of Garfield, Arlene, don’t you think you should…
Arlene: Ah, alright.
She unfreezes Garfield with her stare.
Garfield: ...minute there, Arlene. I’m not gonna… Whoa. (sees the new Pet Force) What the heck is going on anyway?
Garzooka: Your friends are now the new Pet Force. They are going to save the universe.
Arlene and Odie gave the others a thumbs-up.
Nermal: Alright!
In the studio, Vetvix speaks into her mic.
Vetvix: (into her mic) Get Garzooka, my zombies.
Mixed-Up Zombies: Must obey Vetvix.
Vetvix: (into her mic) Get Garzooka! (to her guard) Guard!
Horned Dog Guard: Yes, sir.
Vetvix: That D.N.A. scanner is useless. My zombie army will find Garzooka. Get this ship moving!
Horned Dog Guard: Right away.
Back in the alley, Garzooka and the new Pet Force were conversing a plan.
Garzooka: We've got to find a way to get the moscram from Vetvix. But first, we'll have to bring her warship down. To do that, we need to get up high. (sees an antenna on top of a tower) That’s it! The antenna on top of that tower would make a fine harpoon for a whale of a warship.
Eli: (watching from his shelter) Good idea. That’ll bring her down.
However, the place starts shaking.
Eli: Whoa! What the?!
They saw the spaceship rumbling on the building.
Garzooka: Vetvix is coming.
As it shook, parts of a billboard were falling onto the ground. Some were heading for Garfield and Jon.
Garzooka: Watch out!
He grabs them out of the way as the ship was free from the building.
Garzooka: You can't help us with our plan, comrades. Keep yourselves safe. (holds a piece of the billboard; to the new Pet Force) Pet Force, get under here.
The transformed members got under the billboard.
Arlene: Be careful, Garfield.
Garfield: You be careful, too.
As Pet Force leaves the alley, Garfield, Jon, the Louds, and Little Red saw the spaceship.
Garfield: Guys, look!
Jon: Oh, no.
Little Red: Good grief.
Garzooka sees the ship.
Garzooka: Hold it. Get down!
Pet Force got down while the others hid behind the frog trash can. The ship was hovering a building.
Eli: (watching from his shelter) Oh, no!
Vetvix and Snowball look around. Part of the billboard made it look like Garfield was saying ‘Bite Me,’ while they see the others near the frog trash can.
Snowball: Huh? Guard!
Garzooka: Quickly.
Pet Force snuck out of the scene.
Horned Dog Guard: Yes, sir.
Snowball: I thought we told you to get rid of them.
Horned Dog Guard: (sees the others) Huh? But, uh- uh, I did.
Snowball: We meant for good, you idiot. Do we have to do everything ourselves?
They aim the blaster at the gang.
Eli: (from his shelter) Oh, no! They’re gonna shoot Garfield and friends.
He pushed a button to turn on the vacuum.
Vetvix: Welcome to the Fraternal Order of Vetvix's Zombies.
The vacuum starts to suck up some things, with the gang hanging onto the trash can and Jon. The villainess powers up the blaster, and the gang got sucked into the vacuum, leaving Jon and the trash can to be victims of the moscram. They flew down the tube.
Luan: This sucks!
Lori: Literally!
They hit the wall and landed on the vent. Eli unlatches the vent and they fell into his shelter.
Garfield: What...What just happened?
Eli: You were almost zombified. That’s what.
Outside, Jon’s body had a frog head, while the trash can had Jon’s head.
Vetvix: Get Garzooka and the Louds, my zombies.
Frog Head Jon: Must obey Vetvix.
Jon Trash Can: Vetvix rocks.
Eli: (watching from the monitor) Looks like Jon just got trashed.
Lori: This is literally not good.
Ronnie Anne: I know, right. It's like a zombie invasion from another world!
Lincoln: At least it's not a 300 year-old curse to deal with.
Soon, the spaceship hovered across town, where citizens were hit by the moscram, mixing up their molecules.
Snowball: Soon there’ll be so many zombies Garzooka and the Louds will never escape.
The town was now inhabited by a nightmarish galley of moscram zombies.
Vetvix: (into her mic) Find Garzooka, my zombies! Get Garzooka!
Mixed-Up Zombies: Get Garzooka! Get Garzooka!
Pet Force were in town when the zombies spotted them.
Moscram Lady Zombie: There’s Garzooka!
Garzooka: They've spotted us. Hurry!
They ran away from the zombies, only to run into more of them.
Garzooka: They're everywhere.
They then look at the door to a coffee shop. The leader had a plan.
Garzooka: Hold on tight.
They ram through the door and came out from the building.
Garzooka: Quickly. To the tower.
They headed to Handy Tower. Odious throws away the billboard part as they enter the revolving door.
Nermal: Let’s go.
They pushed through and landed inside the main room. Garzooka piles objects against the door.
Nermal: Are we gonna be safe here?
Garzooka: Very safe.
The zombies banged their hands against the windows.
Garzooka: Well, sort of safe.
The windows were broken and the zombies entered the building.
Garzooka: Okay, not safe at all. (they ran up the stairs) This way! To the antennae. (to Arlene) Arlene, buy us some time.
Arlene: You got it.
She freezes some zombies with her icy stare and goes upstairs. Meanwhile, Garfield and the others were in the auditorium, or what remains of it.
Eli: We gotta make sure no one's buried under all this junk. You know, Garfield, you should have gone with Garzooka in the first place.
Garfield: What do you mean?
Little Red: What Eli means is that you should’ve come with Garzooka when he came to the studio instead of eating hot dogs at home.
Garfield: Red, it’s me, Garfield. I don’t save the day. I sleep through the day.
Eli: You can't sleep through your whole life, Garfield. You have to get involved.
Garfield: It's too late for that now. Maybe being a zombie won't be so bad, Eli. You live forever and you don't have to make small talk.
Ronnie Anne: There has to be a way to defeat Vetvix.
Garfield: Do the math. There’s a gazillion of them and only fifteen of us.
???: (muffled) Hmph. Make that a few.
Lincoln: Who said that?
They went over to a pile of debris and lifted it up, freeing.
Walter: I did, doggone it! I'm mad as heck, and I'm not going to take it anymore.
Bonita: You’re not fighting anyone without me, Walter.
Eli: Alright. Bonita!
There heard muffled noises in another pile and they lift it up, freeing Betty and the Peanut Kids. A few Peanut kids pulled Betty away from the pile and puts her down. Little Red and Garfield rushed to her.
Little Red: Aunt Betty, are you okay?
Her vision seems to blur for a moment.
Betty: Gar… Garzooka? Is that you?
Garfield: I'm not Garzooka, Betty. It's Garfield. Garzooka's at the tower downtown fighting Vetvix.
Betty: He's with who? Why, that little... Oh, wait till I get my hands on her.
Garfield: Eli, is there any way for us to see what's going on downtown?
Eli: Maybe I can tap into the tower’s security cameras. Hold on.
On Vetvix’s ship, the sun beam burns a part of Wally’s rope.
Professor Wally: Psst. Look.
Emperor Jon looks with glee.
Emperor Jon: Way to go, Professor.
Back in the studio, Eli checks on the giant screen. It showed the Pet Force top of the Handy Tower, surrounded by moscram zombies.
Garfield: Oh, my gosh! Arlene, Odie and Nermal are surrounded.
Lola: They can't get up the antennas.
Professor Wally: That’s Arlene, Odie, and Nermal?
Garzooka spewed some hairballs at a few zombies.
Nermal: Awesome gamma-radiated hairballs, Garzooka!
The zombies continue walking towards the heroes.
Betty: Oh, Garzooka. My poor baby. We’ve got to do something!
Garfield: But what?
Eli: What do you mean “what?” You’ve got your fighting force right here.
Garfield: My fighting force?
Lucy van Pelt: You’re looking at it, blockhead. Us!
Little Red: It’s time to step up, Garfield. It’s time to get involved.
Garfield: We gotta do something. You know, this is just crazy enough to work.
Eli: What do you mean?
Garfield: Eli, the big man with the nimble hands at the controls.
Eli: Mm-hmm.
Garfield: Wally, the henpecked, half-sized hero.
Walter: Ha-ha!
Garfield: Betty, the man-hungry assistant director. And the lady with the big nose for trouble, super-nag Bonita.
Bonita: Hey, wait a minute.
Garfield: The Louds, a group of siblings who love to fight and fight to love.
Leni: Totes.
Garfield: Ronnie Anne, a rough-as-nails city girl.
Ronnie Anne: Looks like he got me after all.
Garfield: Heather a.k.a. Little Red, the girl with a hair of red and a heart of gold.
The girl smiles.
Garfield: Charlie Brown and his crew, a band of kids who have their own comic like mine… but more of a slice of life kind than mine.
Snoopy laughed while Charlie facepalmed.
Charlie Brown: Good grief.
Garfield: (puts on a cape) And me, the super cat who can make a difference. (a beat) Okay, all we need now is a snappy name.
Lynn: Oh! Oh! What about… the Daredevils!
Ronnie Anne: The Dorados!
Betty: The Feebles.
Bonita: The, uh, Inferiors?
Walter: How about the We're About to Die Gang?
Garfield: That’s kind of a downer there, Wally.
Eli: You all crazy!
Garfield: That’s it! The Crazy Crew.
Bonita: Yeah.
Betty: The Crazy Crew? I like it.
Walter: Hah-ha!
Eli: Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all.
Lynn: I prefer my gang name better. It sounds awesome when we’re daredevils.
Lincoln: We should have called ourselves the Full House gang.
Luan: Wouldn’t we have called a Full-er House instead? (Laughs) Get it?
Garfield: Okay, gang, here's what we're gonna do. Now first, we're gonna get this place cleaned up.
Back on the tower, the Pet Force gave everything they got against the zombies. Garzooka puked out hairballs at them, while Arlene froze them with icy stare and Odie flinged a few with his tongue. Nermal speeds through and on the heads of the army, knocking some down. However, his speed was starting to wear off.
Garzooka: What’s wrong, Nermal?
Nermal: I don't know, Garzooka. This super speed is making me super tired.
Arlene: And my eyes are killing me.
Odie’s tongue slumps to the ground in exhaustion.
Garzooka: Your newfound powers are putting a strain on your Cartoon World bodies. I cannot fight them alone. Are you sure you can't use your powers?
Nermal: We’re too tired.
Arlene: And the zombies keep coming.
Garzooka: But we must hold on.
As he spits some hairballs at the zombies, Garfield and friends are seen in the horde.
Garfield: (pretending to be a zombie) We must obey.
Arlene: Oh, no!
Lana: (pretending to be a zombie) Vetvix rules.
Arlene: They’ve been turned into zombies.
Garfield: Come on, Wally.
He gets on top of Walter’s head.
Walter: It’s okay, guys.
The cat drops down a picture of Vetvix.
Garfield: (mimicking Vetvix’s voice) I am Vetvix. I command you to stop.
The zombies stop for a moment.
Walter: Hide under this.
He throws a big blanket to Pet Force to hide under. Smoke puffs behind the picture.
Garfield: (mimicking Vetvix’s voice) I am Vetvix. I command you to get Garzooka.
The picture is dropped, revealing Garfield in a fake Garzooka costume.
Garfield: (mimicking Garzooka’s voice) I am the great Garzooka.
Mixed-Up Zombies: Huh?
Billy Rabbit: Garzooka?
Garfield: (mimicking Garzooka’s voice) Come and get me. Now, guys, run.
Wally and Lisa move their legs, making Garfield look like he’s running. The zombies follow the fake Garzooka.
Mixed-Up Zombies: Get Garzooka.
Garzooka: Good going, comrades. Let’s go.
Pet Force and the others snuck to the antenna. On the ship, Vetvix and Snowball see the zombies on the tower.
Vetvix: Look! My zombies have found Garzooka.
Garfield, Lisa, and Wally ran in the huge disguise as the zombies chased after the fake Garzooka.
Garfield: Faster!
Walter: We’re going as fast as we can.
Garfield: Go faster.
Meanwhile, the superhero team is near the antenna. They see Vetvix’s ship approaching.
Garzooka: Vetvix is coming. Get down!
They hid under the blanket as the ship appears. Vetvix and Snowball saw the zombies entering the stairs.
Snowball: Hey! Where are those zombies going?
Garzooka lifts up the antenna and throws it at the ship, with the rope being attached to it.
Vetvix: What’s going on?
He was pulling on it when the ship is trying to leave and he skids near the railing.
Garzooka: Give me a hand!
The other members of Pet Force helped pulled the rope. The villainess looks to the back and sees the team.
Vetvix: The Pet Force! I thought I left them back on Dorkon!
Snowball: What the heck is Dorkon?!
We then cut to outside the tower as Garfield “runs” from the zombies.
Garfield: (mimicking Garzooka’s voice) I am the great Garzooka! You can't stop me. Why, I'm more powerful than a supernova.
While Pet Force pulled the ship near the tower, Garfield lures the zombies to the comic studio.
Garfield: (mimicking Garzooka’s voice) Come on. Follow me, the great Garzooka!
Betty: Move along, people, please. Come on now. We’re shuffling. We’re shuffling.
Bonita: Move it. Move it.
As they enter the studio, Wally trips and the three fell out of their disguise.
Garfield: Now, guys!
Little Red: Here goes nothing.
Ronnie Anne pushes a button to open a pit in the stage.
Garfield: (mimicking Garzooka’s voice) I am Garzooka!
He, Lisa, and Walter jump over the pit while the zombies fell in.
Eli: Oh, it’s working!
A cheese-headed mouse was on the other side, but Garfield kicks it in the pit. Back on Handy Tower…
Garzooka: Pull!
They pulled on the rope and the ship crashed on top of the tower. The team high-fived each other in victory.
Garzooka: Alright!
Arlene: We did it.
At the comic studio, more zombies enter the studio.
Betty: Uh-huh, that’s it.
Bonita: Keep moving.
Betty: Move along, people, please.
Bonita: Straight ahead.
Betty: We’re shuffling. We’re shuffling.
Garfield: (mimicking Garzooka’s voice) I am the great Garzooka.
More zombies fell into the pit.
Garfield: That’s all of them, guys.
The pit was closed, and the Crazy Crew celebrated in victory. At the Handy Tower, Garzooka congratulates Arlene, Nermal, and Odie.
Garzooka: Very good, my new Pet Force. You seem re-energized with victory.
Suddenly, the ship’s hatch opened and out rose Vetvix and Snowball, the former wielding the moscram.
Vetvix: I don't know how you did it, Garzooka, but I've had it with you and your Pet Force.
Nermal speeds around the two as Odie uses his tongue to grab a part of the tower to fling near the baddies. Vetvix fires the blaster and Garzooka spits a hairball at her, knocking her down. However, the weapon’s Super Scramble is pressed upon impact on the ground.
Blaster Computer: Super Scramble mode engaged. Danger.
Vetvix: (wipes the gamma hairball goo off her face) Yuck!
Blaster Computer: Super Scramble mode engaged. Danger.
Upon hearing this, she picks it up with a devilish grin.
Vetvix: Super Scramble. All right, let's take it up a notch.
She fires the moscram at Pet Force, super-scrambling their molecules and turning them into a cluster monster.
Vetvix: (laughs evilly) Who’s your daddy now?
Pet Force Cluster: Vetvix. Must obey Vetvix.
Garzooka Head: This way.
Nermal Head: No, this way.
Arlene Head: This way.
The cluster zombie clumsily fell off the building. Inside the ship, Professor Wally frees himself from the ropes.
Emperor Jon: Ah, all right, Professor! Way to go…
Professor Wally: (covers his mouth) Shhh.
He frees the emperor from his ropes. When the purple dog guard got up, the emperor shoved his crown onto his head and spun him around.
Emperor Jon: They went thataway! Get them before they escape!
The guard clumsily walks into a wall and slumps down.
Emperor Jon: Yes!
Professor Wally: Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.
He pilots the ship and the two villains fell from its wing.
Vetvix: Wait! Where are you going?
The ship was free from the rope and it departs.
Vetvix: (growls) Let’s see what this baby can really do.
She fires at buildings, spiralling them in a tornado. Once the dust cleared, it was a giant monster made out of buildings that roared.
Vetvix: Come to me, my lovely.
It bows and starts climbing up the tower. It then arrived in a few seconds.
Snowball: Oh, yeah! Now, we’re talking!
The two got on the palm of its hand.
Vetvix: That way! Let’s go get my ship back!
The monster dropped down from the tower.
Vetvix: Destroy everything!
As it smashed through town, the Pet Force cluster rolled behind it.
Pet Force Cluster: Must obey Vetvix.
The others watched from the big screen.
Walter: What can we possibly do against that thing?
Betty: Poor Garzooka.
Bonita: All is lost.
Something flashed on Eli’s computer.
Eli: Huh?
Computer: Intruder alert. Intruder alert.
They see Vetvix’s ship landing outside the studio.
Lucy: This can’t be good.
Later, they got outside, wielding various objects.
Garfield: Let’s go.
They got close to the spaceship and the door dropped down.
Garfield: Now!
They charged in front of the departing visitors, but they turned out to be Emperor Jon and Professor Wally.
Garfield: Crazy Crew, meet Emperor Jon and Professor Wally.
Emperor Jon: Hi.
Bonita: Wally?
Walter: Me?
Professor Wally: Fascinating.
Ronnie Anne: Looks like the Crazy Crew just got crazier.
Just then, they saw the giant building monster rampaging through Cartoon World.
Lynn: It’s gonna get crazier if we don’t stop those villains before they wreck the town!
Betty: On, no!
Bonita: We need a plan.
Garfield: Like what?
Bonita: Well, fainting comes to mind.
Lincoln: The Crazy Crew never panics.
The monster was getting close to the studio.
Linus: Now might be a good time to start.
Betty: Good idea.
Betty and Bonita faint.
Lynn: Come on, we can’t save the universe that way.
Lincoln: Lynn’s right. We have to stop it and save this world.
The monster was approaching from far.
Garfield: Eli, you better get the Crazy Crew to safety.
Eli: You got it.
Garfield: Time for me to get involved. Big time.
Lincoln: Wait, Garfield. I want to help.
Garfield: Lincoln, this could be dangerous.
Lincoln: We’ve been through danger before, Garfield. How different can it be?
Ronnie Anne: Different as in heading for your death.
Lincoln: Thanks for that complaint, Ronnie.
Garfield: (to Emperor Jon and Professor Wally) Uh, could you guys give us a lift?
Professor Wally: Of course.
Later, Vetvix sees her ship getting ready to leave.
Vetvix: My ship, it’s getting away.
It flies off.
Vetvix: No!
She fires the moscram at it, but misses. It zooms towards the monster. Garfield and Lincoln were in the ship with Professor Wally and Emperor Jon.
Lincoln: Pull around and drop us off at the monster there.
The two skid near the drop pit.
Garfield: Emperor, I hope this works.
Emperor Jon: Well, we’ll give it the old royal try.
He pulled the lever and the two were dropped off as the monster grabs the ship and rips the wings off it.
Snowball: Hey, when she grabs the ship, you don’t break it!
Garfield: Hey, you guys.
The two saw Garfield and Lincoln on the monster’s shoulder.
Lincoln: Yoo-hoo. Neener-neener-neener.
Snowball: Its that comic boy! Fire!
She fires at the two, but they dodged the laser.
Lincoln: Ha, ha, ha! You missed us!
However, the monster’s hand was rising towards them. It slams down, sending the two flying onto the roof of a nearby building. They ran to the windmill as it smashed the building. After it was destroyed, they ran from building to building as more were being destroyed. As they flew in the air, Garfield saw a hot dog flying by.
Garfield: Ooh.
He tries to grab it, but failed.
Garfield: Nooooo!!!
Soon, the buildings were destroyed and Garfield and Lincoln were on the street.
Lincoln: Look!
They see the Pet Force Cluster wobbling around. Garfield gets an excellent idea.
Garfield: Yoo-hoo, Pet Force.
The Garzooka head spits a hairball and Garfield dodges. It destroys part of the building monster’s right foot.
Garfield: Come on. You can do better than that.
He pukes out another, which misses the cat, but hits the monster’s left foot.
Lincoln: Hey, Odie.
Odie: Hmm?
Lincoln: Got tongue?
The dog flicks off his tongue and it chased the two around the monster. It wrapped around the monster’s legs and Lincoln ties it in a knot. Soon, it tripped and fell over, launching Snowball and Vetvix into the studio.
Garfield: Nice shot.
The moscram landed in Garfield’s hands. The building monster was about to get up.
Garfield: Time to take out the trash.
He fires at it and it reverts back into a bunch of buildings. However, the Pet Force cluster notices them.
Pet Force Cluster: Get Garfield.
Lincoln: You know what to do, Garfield.
They were heading towards them when he fires the moscram at them. Soon, they were back to separate members of the Pet Force.
Garfield: Gotta run, guys.
He and Lincoln enter the studio.
Eli: Way to go, guys!
Lincoln: There’s just one more thing to do.
Vetvix and Snowball were alive from landing in the studio.
Garfield: It’s all over, you two.
Vetvix: That’s what you think, tubby. You’ll never stop us.
The two run through the smile section when Walter blocks their way.
Walter: Stop right there!
Snowball: What the?!
The Crazy Crew corned the two into the smile section.
Garfield: Say cheese!
Snowball: I shall not be redeemed! (jumps out of the smile section just as Garfield blasted the beam at Vetvix.)
As she got blasted by the beam, the Flushed Pets who have escaped the plane went near Snowball and witnessed the fusion.
Snowball: Oh, no! Oh, no! OH, NO!
Vetvix was now a jolly intergalactic woman.
Vetvix: Have a nice day, everybody.
Garfield: Yes!
Snowball: Dang it!
Tattoo: Boss, we should get out of this place! I think being on a comic strip is too much for us.
Snowball: You may be right. This world is too overrated. Back to my Nexi operation!
They escaped using a teleportation device while Snowball laughs then disappears.
Lisa: So much for a reunion.
Lincoln: Open the pit, Eli.
Eli: You got it.
He opens the pit full of moscram zombies and Garfield zaps them back to normal. All of the citizens went back to town, while the stars and crew were in the studio.
Ronnie Anne: Way to go, Linky! (Punched him in the shoulder)
Garzooka: Good job, comrades. I knew you could do it.
Betty comes running towards Garzooka.
Garzooka: Uh, Betty. W-wait.
Betty: (pounced on him) My hero.
Jon: (to Emperor Jon) Your highness.
Emperor Jon: Oh.
Both: (in unison) Looking good.
Garfield: (to Professor Wally) Might be a good idea to keep this locked up from now on, Professor. (hands the moscram to Professor Wally)
Professor Wally: I've learned my lesson.
Leni: You learned that you abused your power and learned nothing?
Professor Wally: No. It’s that you can’t mess with nature and once I use it to reverse the damage done on Dorkon, I'm going to destroy it for good.
Emperor Jon: I wanna thank you all for what you've done. And thanks from the people of Dorkon too.
Vetvix: Emperor Jon. Hi. (goes over to Emperor Jon) What can I say? I was a bad girl. Can you forgive me?
Emperor Jon: Hey, nobody’s perfect. Of course I could forgive you.
Professor Wally: Oh, boy.
She starts kissing the emperor.
Garzooka: The new Pet Force was very courageous today. But now I'm afraid you're going to have to relinquish those bodies. After all, there can only be one Pet Force.
Nermal: But I don’t want to. I like being fast.
Garzooka: You don't need that superpower, Nermal. You're a pretty super kid without it. (chuckles)
Nermal: Aww.
He opens up the suitcase containing red serum and the three drink them up, reverting back to their cartoony selves. Though Nermal was bummed that his superhero days are over.
Nermal: Oh!
Garfield: Welcome back, baby.
He and Arlene kiss on the lips.
Garzooka: Well, we've gotta be going. And again, thank you all. You're the real heroes today. Farewell. (before he leaves, he turns to Nermal) Oh, uh, Nermal. This is for you.
He throws Nermal an Abnermal costume, much to the kitten’s delight.
Nermal: Ha-ha! Sweet.
The two salute each other and Garzooka leaves, but not before being chased the love-crazed Betty.
Betty: Garzooka!
Garzooka: (runs) Whoa. Whoa, Betty!
Soon, the spaceship starts to leave, and everyone in the studio waved goodbye.
Garfield: So long, Garzooka.
Garzooka: Until next we meet, comrades.
The ship flies off.
Nermal: So long, Garzooka.
Lana: We'll be reading about you.
Arlene: We’ll never forget you.
At the newspaper stand, the boy had finished putting the books in the racks when he hears the ship approaching.
Newspaper Boy: Oh, no.
The spaceship zooms into the Pet Force issue and all the books fell to the floor, much to the boy’s dismay.
Newspaper Boy: (starts picking up papers) Oh, well. Third time’s the charm.
Back in the comic studio, the gang watched Emperor Jon and Vetvix’s wedding on the big screen.
Arlene: They’re renewing their vows. Oh, isn’t that romantic?
Professor Wally: (on screen) I once again pronounce you emperor and queen. You may now kiss the bride.
The emperor prepares to kiss, but Vetvix grabs him and kisses him. Everyone on Planet Dorkon, including the rejuvenated Pet Force members, all celebrated the momentous occasion with fireworks. The bright stars filled the dark sky as Garfield, Lincoln, and Charlie Brown watch outside. Arlene, Little Red, and Ronnie Anne went to see them.
Arlene: What are you doing out here, Garfield?
Garfield: Oh, I was just getting a breath of fresh air, wondering how much I've missed out on in life.
Arlene: “Missed out on?”
Garfield: Yeah. By not getting involved more often.
Arlene: Well, you haven’t missed out on me.
Lincoln: So what do you want to do tonight? Save the universe?
Ronnie Anne: Yuck.
Lincoln: Fight evil wherever it may lurk?
Ronnie Anne: Boring.
Lincoln: How ‘bout…
The stars shone underneath the six.
Lincoln: Dancing.
Ronnie Anne: Now you’re talking.
They flew up into the sky and danced the night away. Garfield had Arlene, while Lincoln’s with Ronnie Anne and Charlie Brown with Little Red. They twirled and skipped across the star trail. Then. they spun and float through outer space.
Charlie Brown: Hey, is that the Big Dipper?
They disappeared into the galaxy. Moments later, back in the studio, the gang saw the real Pet Force in the wedding.
Jon: Hey, it’s the real Pet Force!
However, they saw someone familiar next to Garzooka.
Little Red: Aunt Betty?
Charles: Betty?
Lori: Looks like you’re gonna need a new assistant director, Charles.
Nermal: (in his Abnermal costume) Nermal's the name. (shows him his resume) Here's my card and resume. Have your peeps call my peeps. We'll do lunch.
Meanwhile, the Flushed Pets were transported back to New York in the real world.
Snowball: Well, that plan sucked, but at least we know why we got into the cartoon world from the last film. But who cares about that? it’s time we get back to our Nexi operation!
The pets start to leave when a little girl with her mommy saw them.
Molly: Mommy! Can I have a bunny… and a pig and a crocodile and a lizard?
Derek, Tattoo, and Dragon retreat back into the sewer, leaving Snowball alone.
Snowball: Uh oh.
The little girl picks him up.
Molly: Yay, bunny!
Snowball hits at her chest.
Snowball: Jab, jab, jab! Body blow, body blow! Breakaway move!
She begins to pet him,
Molly: Awww.
Snowball: Uh, what’s going on? What’s she doing?
Molly: Bunny, I’m going to love you forever and ever and ever!
She hugs him… he fights it, and then loves it. He hugs back.
Molly: Aw, bunny.
The iris closed on the little girl, Snowball, and her mother walk to the apartment building and as the door closed the iris went to black.
          THE END!
