Synopsis[]

When Garfield and his friends are trying to enjoy a barbeque, little do they know that in a very different universe a battle is being waged! In a comic book world of heroes and villains, Garzooka and his trusted team of super-powered heroes, the Pet Force, must defeat the evil Vetvix, who is turning the inhabitants of their world into mindless zombie slaves! When the Pet Force falls into a trap.

Plot[]

On the planet Dorkon, Professor Wally (the professor counterpart to Wally) shows Emperor Jon (the Emperor counterpart to Jon Arbuckle) his new invention, The Molecular Scrambler (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 more concerned about finding a wife to continue the royal bloodline. Soon a warship lands near the palace. Emperor Jon sees Vetvix (the super-villain counterpart to Dr. Liz Wilson) and asks her if he can marry her. She agrees, but before Emperor Jon can kiss Vetvix, she steals the MoScram gun and zombifies Emperor Jon' guards. Professor Wally calls the Pet Force: Garzooka (Garfield's superhero counterpart), Odious (Odie's superhero counterpart), Abnermal (Nermal's superhero counterpart) and Starlena (Arlene's superheroine counterpart).

The situation was revealed to be a comic book Nermal was reading during a cookout with the gang. Nermal is really excited about getting the next 100th edition issue. Garfield's friends go to the Comic studio to work their new strip, except Garfield who wants to finish all the hot dogs. Nermal gets the new Pet Force issue from a newsstand, with Garzooka jumping out of a comic book, and entering Comic World's Grin City afterwards. Garzooka heads for Jon's house and is told where Odie, Arlene, and Nermal are by Garfield. Garzooka gives Garfield the Klopman Crystal as well telling him to protect it. Curiously, the pages of the comic book show exactly what is going on in Comic Strip World with Garfield & his group, but pages of future incidents are blank until the incidents occur.

In the break room at the Comic Studio, Nermal, Arlene, and Odie notice Garzooka behind them. Garzooka hands them the serums asking them to help him stop Vetvix, but they don't change immediately after they drink the serums. However, it's time for Odie, Arlene, and Nermal to go to work and Garzooka follows. Meanwhile, the real Garfield is enjoying a relaxing day all to himself but is captured by Vetvix (who appeared in Comic Strip World earlier) who tortures him for the Klopman Crystal, but to no avail (because Garfield is a cartoon character). Garfield tries to protect the Klopman Crystal, but it is taken by Vetvix and orders her guards to get rid of Garfield. Garfield is told by Professor Wally to go over to Emperor Jon who then tells him to grab the Professor's lens and put it on the window. The sunlight loosens the Emperor and the professor's ropes while Vetvix orders her guards to get rid of Garfield, they then throw him down the garbage chute.

Back at Comic Studios, the gang is interrupted by Vetvix, who zombifies most of the characters at the studio. Nermal, Odie, Arlene, Jon, and Garzooka escape to the back alley and meet up with Garfield. Nermal, Odie, and Arlene's serum kick in and transform into their Pet Force counterparts. Garzooka and his team then go off to fight Vetvix. Eli saves Garfield by sucking him up an air vent, but Jon gets zombified with a nearby trash can. Vetvix causes chaos, zombifying all of Cartoon World, as the citizens of Comic World try to make a run for it but are unsuccessful. Eli scolds Garfield for not helping Garzooka and if he hadn't been so lazy then Vetvix wouldn't have gotten the Klopman. Eli and Garfield manage to find three survivors: Wally Stegman, his wife Bonita and assistant director Betty. Garfield names himself and the survivors "The Crazy Crew" and forms their own plan to help Garzooka's crew and to stop Vetvix.

Meanwhile, the zombies break into the tower, making the Pet Force escape to the top. Garzooka realizes the zombies are too much for them as his allies start to feel weakened and outnumbered. Garfield and Wally pretend to be zombies, then disguise themselves as Garzooka, luring the zombies to Comic Studio where Eli opens the pit in the filming area to trap them. The real Garzooka and the Pet Force go to the antenna and use it to bring down Vetvix's ship. Meanwhile, the zombies chase Garfield and Wally to the Comic Studio, and Eli opens the pit in the filming area, in which the zombies fall into. Meanwhile, at the tower, Vetvix shoots the Moscram Ray Gun at the Pet Force, using the Super Scramble Mode.

Emperor Jon and Professor Wally break free (by the Professor's monocle that Garfield put on the windowsill earlier), and take over the ship, flying into the air, making Vetvix fall off. However, she makes a giant monster by shooting the ray gun at most of the buildings in the Comic Strip World and decides to use the monster to destroy everything and get back her ship. Meanwhile, Vetvix's ship lands near the back alley of Comic Studio, and the Crazy Crew meet Professor Wally and Emperor Jon, who let Garfield enter the ship. The ship flies above the monster and Garfield jumps off. By using the power of the Super Scrambled Pet Force and the dropped Moscram Ray Gun, Garfield defeats the monster along with unscrambling the Pet Force.

Garfield goes inside Comic Studio, and he and the Crazy Crew surround Vetvix and she backs herself up into a corner called the "Smile Section" which Betty built hours ago. Garfield shoots Vetvix with the Moscram Ray Gun, which fuses her with the smiling faces and turns her friendly, causing her to apologize to Emperor Jon. Eli opens the pit and Garfield unscrambles the zombies. Garzooka gives the red serums to Odie, Arlene and Nermal and they drink it while Garfield gives the Moscram Ray Gun back to Professor Wally who intends to destroy it after restoring Dorkon. The Comic Studio employees, the Pet Force from the planet Dorkon, Garfield and his friends watch Vetvix and Emperor Jon's wedding.

Garfield sits outside thinking about how much he missed out on life, and he and Arlene dance into the sky before returning to Earth.

The Studio employees watch the wedding of Emperor Jon and Vetvix. They later find that Charles's assistant Betty has followed Garzooka back to Dorkon, much to Garzooka's annoyance and Charles's shock. Arlene tells him he might need a new assistant, to which Nermal (now in costume) decides to apply for.

Trivia/Goofs[]

  • A 3D version of the movie was released on October 5, 2010 (Blu-ray) and October 18, 2010 (DVD). It came with 4 pairs of 3D glasses.
  • The original version of the movie is 75 minutes long. The 3D version skips a few parts, bringing it to a length of 73 minutes.
  • When Nermal and Odie are reading the Pet Force comic at the Comic Studio, the DVD poster of Garfield Gets Real can be seen behind Arlene.
  • On the way to the Comic Studio, Nermal is still reading the comic of Pet Force to see what happens next. When he says he will turn the page, he does turn it in the closeup of him and Arlene, and in the next shot, it is still on the same page.
  • When Vetvix uses super scramble to scramble Garzooka, Odie, Nermal, and Arlene, it takes a few seconds before they are combined into the Pet Force Ball when Vetvix lets go of the button.
  • Nermal's resume at the end of the film gives his full name as Nermal C. Kitten.
  • At one point in the film, Garfield says "Yoo-hoo, Ms. Supervillain", identical to his lines "Yoo-hoo, Mr. Pinata head", "Yoo-hoo, Mr. Stinky dog" and (from the extended version) "Yoo-hoo, Mr. Fancy Pants" from Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties.
  • When Nermal transforms into Abnermal, he considers getting a new name. He suggests The Flash, Kid Flash (both DC Comics characters) Quicksilver and The Whizzer (both Marvel Comics characters).
  • At the beginning of the film, Vetvix's warship encounters road signs to various planets. One of them leads to Tatooing, a spoof of the planet Tatooine from Star Wars.
  • The sign that falls apart says "TRY MY BITE-SIZE Mermaid Tuna Treats". The piece of the sign that Pet Force hides under has been altered to look like it says "BITE Me".
  • Shecky from the first two films makes a cameo appearance in this film.
  • A dropbox archive allegedly created by the film's composer contains the film's entire soundtrack and can be found here.
