[theme music starts]

[woman on TV] That's right, Victoria,

we were switched at birth at the hospital!

Odie!

Ta-dah!

Remote control emergency!

Will you please change the channel before I get severe brain rot?

...the true heir of the Vanderfeller fortune.

-Liar! -No! That's the volume, Odie.

Did you forget everything I taught you? It's the button on your left.

[barks]

-Sir Leo is one of Hollywood's... -First a soap opera, now a talk show.

-...why so gloomy? -[Odie panting]

-Well... -[Garfield] No, wait!

-That's Sir Leo! -...under a great deal of stress lately.

Ever since he broke up

with Paw Li,

the paparazzi have been harassing him.

[presenter] Paw Li is the Siamese supermodel-turned-actress

who co-stars alongside Sir Leo in his latest movie,

Cat on a Hot Bin Lid.

The movie has gotten great reviews,

but it hasn't done so well in the box office.

No, and that's been a huge disappointment for Sir Leo.

He hoped his celebrity status would bring this art-house film

-the success of his previous blockbusters. -[Garfield puffs]

Some people have real problems.

My remote control doesn't work, and am I complaining?

-No. Turn it off, will you Odie? -[barks]

-[car arriving] -[Odie grunts]

[car door squeaks open]

[mistery music playing]

[Odie grunts]

-[both sigh] -I don't think anybody saw us.

No one except the entire neighborhood.

You look like you just robbed a bank.

-[Odie panting] -What are you hiding under there?

Plutonium? An alien specimen?

-[crashing] -It's moving!

-[Odie panting] -[Garfield] Uh, Jon...

please tell me that's a live lobster in there.

[voice in an English accent] Hello?

I'm beginning to feel rather cramped, if you don't mind.

An articulate live lobster?

You cloned me? I have a copyright on that, you know.

[Jon] Garfield, Odie,

this is Sir Leo.

-[Garfield gasps] -[Odie grunts]

[Jon] He's staying with us for a little a while.

He's in need of a vacation.

-[sniggers] -Sir Leo? Here?

This isn't exactly the French Riviera.

Liz is Sir Leo's vet.

She thought our house would be a place for him to get away from the paparazzi

and recover from his nervous breakdown.

That's right. You'll be safe here.

The only danger is being bored to death.

[barking and slobbering]

And Odie's saliva.

So, what's with the nervous breakdown? I thought movie stars had it easy.

Not quite. I was thrown into showbusiness when I was just a kitten.

I've never lived the life of an ordinary cat.

Oh, come on then, I'll show you around.

But don't expect any special celebrity treatment.

Hungry?

Famished.

[laughs and burps]

If I may, what exactly are these?

Uh... fish sticks?

[sighs] I'm not sure my nutritionist would approve.

Man, movie stars have it rough. I'll eat them if you don't. [laughs]

[sniffing]

Hey, not bad.

[crowd] Sir Leo! Sir Leo!

-[gasps] They're here. -[Garfield] Who's here?

Them. The fans. The paparazzi.

[fans] Sir Leo! Sir Leo!

-Sir Leo! -[Garfield gasps]

Boy, it's a sea of people out there! How did they find you?

[sighs] They always do.

I guess it's back to the fast lane for me.

Or maybe not... I could pretend to be you. I mean...

I'm practically identical, right?

Okay, okay, so I got a head start on the fish sticks.

But no one will notice the difference.

Go get them tiger. I owe you one.

[crowd cheering]

[cameras flashing]

-[gulps] -[crowd chanting] Sir Leo!

[panting]

[crowd shouting]

[panting] Why can't they ever resist the need to touch?

-[crowd cheering] -[Garfield shouting]

[presenter] Today, celebrity cat Sir Leo,

spent an entire day signing autographs and posing with fans.

[Sir Leo] Hey Garfield, we're on TV!

Unlike his recent public appearances,

Sir Leo was in top form.

-Our crew got the exclusive footage. -[crowd] Sir Leo! Sir Leo! Sir Leo!

Brilliant! You make a better Sir Leo than I do!

So... when do I get to ride in the limo?

[laughs]

[crowd cheering]

Have fun, Garfield.

[yawns] I think I'll go to bed.

[sighs] When you get home,

I'll have Jean-Louis put you on that papaya diet again.

I don't think I like Jean-Louis, whoever he is.

Anyway, I hate to make you work during your vacation, Leo,

but I couldn't pass up a TV commercial.

Sounds fun. How much work can that possibly be?

-[assistant] Scene three, take five! -[director] And... action!

-Cat-viar puts the cat in caviar. -Meow.

[director] Cut! Yes, Sir Leo, that was good,

but let's try that "meow" again.

[assistant] Scene three, take six!

[director] And... action!

-Meow. -[director] Cut! Good... [stammers]

Why don't we try it a little more suave this time.

[assistant] Scene three, take seven!

Meow.

[assistant] Scene three, take 25!

-Meow. -[assistant] Scene three, take 57!

[groans] Meow.

[assistant] Scene three, take 74!

[director] Well, I guess that's a wrap.

[crowd] Sir Leo! Sir Leo!

To the movie theatre, James! Step on it, we're late for the premiere!

I'm warning you, there better be popcorn.

[upbeat rock music playing]

-[crowd chanting] -[Garfield snickers]

[crowd cheering]

[crowd chanting] Sir Leo! Sir Leo!

[woman] It's The Deverminator!

[Sir Leo as The Deverminator] Hasta la vista, vermin!

[rooster crowing]

[sighs]

[crowd] Sir Leo! Sir Leo!

No! It's not me you want... it's him!

[Garfield] Leo, wake up!

Your fans, they're outside, they want you!

-[helicopter whirring] -No, they want you.

Oh no, no, no, no.

Here! I'm not cut out for this celebrity stuff.

-I want my life back! -Hey...

who wanted to ride in the limo? Who said celebrities had it easy?

The fans, the paparazzi... they're your problems now.

Alright then, they're gonna get a taste of the real me.

Or him. Or me. Oh, you know what I mean.

[crowd cheering]

-[Garfield jeering] -[crowd gasp]

[crowd gasps]

[crowd cheering]

[crowd] Sir Leo! Sir Leo! Sir Leo!

[laughs]

[crowd starts booing]

[crying]

-[whines] -[fan] Poor dog!

-[crowd muttering] -[Garfield shrieks]

[Sir Leo laughs] Brilliant. Priceless. We're on every channel!

-[Garfield groans] -Thank you, my friend.

You've just brought me a lot of free publicity! [cheers]

Yeah, we'll see who gets the last laugh. [meows threateningly]

[crowd cheering]

-[laughing] -[crowd clapping]

-[fan] Gross! -[crowd gasps]

[disco music playing]

[Squeek] Attack!

[crowd screaming]

Humans. So predictable.

Here's your paycheck, Squeek.

[Odie straining]

[mice cheering]

Today, Sir Leo fans

discovered a different side of their favorite celebrity.

Unlike his popular Deverminator character, it turns out the star

is a rodent enthusiast.

The autograph session ended abruptly

when a swarm of mice attacked fans and reporters, forcing them to flee.

Could this be the end of Sir Leo's career?

Me? A rodent lover?

I can never show my face in Hollywood again!

You mean my face. You stole my life, remember?

You can have it back! Anything... just help me get out of this mess!

So, you're telling us that wasn't the real Sir Leo?

The whole thing was a hoax, a publicity stunt?

Yes, that's right.

Sir Leo desperately needed a vacation, so...

we hired a look-alike to impersonate him for a few days.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome

Sir Leo's belching, pie-throwing look-alike!

[crowd cheering]

[smooches]

Who needs fame when you can be the star of your own house?

Because every cat deserves luxury.

Cat-viar puts the cat in caviar.

Meow.

Well, I do all the work, and he gets all the glory.

And the paycheck. Life is so unfair.

-[Jon] Garfield, dinner! -But I'm not complaining. [sniggers]
