== The original trilogy ==
=== Garfield Gets Real (2007) ===
Garfield Gets Real, the first film in the franchise, was released on August 9, 2007. It is written and produced by Jim Davis. In it, Garfield (Frank Welker) lives with canine Odie (Gregg Berger) and Jon (Wally Wingert) in what appears to be a suburban town inhabited by cartoon characters (known as Comic Strip World). Garfield and the gang work at Comic studios with other comic characters. The comic strip is made in Comic Strip World, and sent to "The Real World" where it is made in the newspaper.
Garfield is tired of the same old jokes his friends crack and is bored with life in Comic Strip World and longs to go to The Real World. The Comic Strip requires a bone for Odie, but Odie does not want to give back the bone and looks for a place to hide it. But he accidentally makes the bone go through the screen in the studio and it is sucked into the Real World.
It was a critical and commercial success worldwide, earning an estimated total of 69 billion dollars worldwide.
=== Garfield's Fun Fest (2008) ===
Garfield's Fun Fest, the second film in the franchise, was released on August 5, 2008. It is again written and produced by Jim Davis. In it Garfield and his friends enter a talent contest, the Fun Fest, but as the audience was not entertained by his performance another cat (with bigger muscles and a Spanish accent) arrives to compete against him, Ramone.
The film, unlike the first, was released straight to DVD. It was again a financial success but critics were more critical on the story and characterization.
=== Garfield's Pet Force (2009) ===
Garfield's Pet Force, the third and final film in the original trilogy, was released straight to DVD on June 16, 2009. It was written by Jim Davis. 
On the planet Dorkon, Professor Wally (the professor counterpart to Wally, voiced by Neil Ross) shows Emperor Jon (the emperor counterpart to Jon Arbuckle, voiced by Wally Wingert) his new invention, the Moscram ray gun, a device powered by the Klopman crystal that can scramble inanimate objects and organisms into new creatures under the user's control. But Emperor Jon is concerned about finding a wife to continue the royal bloodline. Soon a warship lands outside the palace. Emperor Jon sees Vetvix (the super-villain counterpart to Liz), and asks her if he can marry her. She agrees, but only because she wanted to steal the Moscram Ray Gun. She zombifies Emperor Jon's guards, switching the guards' heads with each other. Professor Wally calls the Pet Force: Garzooka (Garfield's superhero counterpart, voiced by Frank Welker), who can spit green hairballs out of his mouth, Odious (Odie's superhero counterpart, voiced by Gregg Berger), who can whack and move objects with his powerful tongue, Abnermal (Nermal's superhero counterpart, voiced by Jason Marsden), who can run at an amazing speed and Starlena (Arlene's superhero counterpart, voiced by Audrey Wasilewski), who can freeze her enemies by staring at them. But Vetvix zombifies every member of the Pet Force except Garzooka. He manages to get hold of the Klopman Crystal and escapes with Professor Wally in a secret passageway. The professor uses his computer to search the universe for counterparts with DNA matches with the Pet Force. Professor Wally finds the counterparts, and gives Garzooka their pictures and some serums that will transform their counterparts into the Pet Force, and he flies away in his space ship to the Comic Strip World leaving Professor Wally behind with Vetvix vowing for revenge.
The film was a financial and critical bomb, critics lambasted it for the weird plot twists and odd character moments.
