[snoring] [clock ringing]

[upbeat music]

[snoring]

Oh, it's you.

Yeah, I'm taking a nap, I deserve it.

After all, I just saved the entire planet.

That's right.

The whole planet and everyone on it, you included.

You see, it all started far out in space.

I mean far out.

They have this popular chain of fast food restaurants.

They're all over the galaxy.

You'll find one on practically every asteroid.

[robot voice] Welcome to Neptunian Nuclear Chicken.

May I take your order, please?

I will have the Jupiter-sized module of chicken wings.

Extra crunchy.

Jupiter Space Pack. Extra crunchy.

Oh, and a side of coleslaw.

One side of coleslaw.

Thank you.

Now, you might be wondering how I know about this, right?

Well, I've seen this cartoon before.

Anyway, this chain of restaurants is owned by this not-very-nice guy.

What do you mean,

I can't open another bajillion restaurants?

No one tells me what I can't do!

But, Commander Harlin, we have not enough chickens.

Maybe not.

But we will.

-Come with me. -Where are we going?

Anticipating this need,

I set up a secret research outpost...

on Earth!

In no time at all, they were streaking towards Earth,

where certain individuals you may recognize

were stopping for chow.

We're just going in for a small snack.

Do you know what a small snack is, Garfield?

Do you know what a foolish question is, Jon?

Even if you took every chicken on this planet,

it wouldn't be enough

for your needs, Commander.

That is why we've developed a ray

that will turn to every man, woman

and animal on this planet

into... [evil sniggering]

...a chicken!

Bring in the test subject,

and we'll see how it works.

[humming]

Pepperoni and mushrooms!

[italian music]

Sausage and black olives.

Meat lovers' special.

Aye, aye, aye, leave some room, Garfield.

I'm making lasagna.

I don't see your delivery boy today.

I just sent him to make a delivery across the street.

He'll be right back.

No, he wouldn't be.

The delivery boy was about to become...

the delivery chicken.

But I just came to deliver a pizza.

Just stand there for one more moment.

[screaming]

This ray... [chewing]

This will really transform him into...

Yes! [evil sniggering]

A chicken!

[clucking]

You owe me... [clucking]

Get back to Vito's.

[clucking]

Twelve... [clucking]

...dollars for the... [clucking]

...pizza plus... [clucking]

It worked!

Can we fry him now?

Not yet.

First I have to bombard

the entire city.

[ominous music]

[clucking]

[ominous music]

Everyone is getting zapped by the rays!

It will work faster on some than others.

But soon,

they will all be chickens!

[evil sniggering]

Everyone?

Every Earth creature.

Except anyone who is at this moment

ingesting an inhuman quantity of ricotta cheese,

tomato paste and pasta.

[joyful music]

Who would imagine that an inhuman quantity

of ricotta cheese, tomato sauce

and pasta could taste so good?

Mmm... That was great.

Odie, something wrong?

[laughing]

Odie, that's the worst chicken imitation I've ever seen.

[clucking]

And that was the best one.

What do I do?

Oh, I know, I'll ask Jon.

We should be... [clucking] ...going. We have to...

...stop... [clucking]

...on the way home... [clucking]

Tell me Jon and Odie

haven't been turned into chicken.

[screaming]

[clucking]

Italian chicken! Chicken parmesan!

I have to get out of this coop!

Er, restaurant!

[screaming]

Help!

I need help.

Lots of help!

A policeman. They help.

Officer!

I wuold like to report two people and a dog

being mysteriously transformed into chickens.

[clucking]

[Garfield screaming]

Crazy things are happening!

As the chickening of the population spread across the state,

the governor called a press conference.

[clucking]

This is awful! This is a disaster!

Things could not be worse!

[ominous music]

Let this be a lesson to you.

Never say: "Things could not get worse."

Things will always find a way of getting worse.

[rooster crowing]

It landed in a park.

It was met by the rotten Commander Harlin.

It will take many trips.

But we'll transport all the chickens back home!

[evil sniggering]

I can hardly wait to start frying them all up.

Frying them all up?

How are you going to get them all into our spacecraft?

Simple. Chickens love corn.

[clucking]

[pneumatic drill noise]

I need to find some way to get inside.

And then he...

I joined the procession of poultry. I would've made it too,

except I suddenly remembered something awful.

[sneezing]

I'm allergic to chicken feathers!

[sneezing]

Aren't you going to say gesundheit?

Stop that cat!

[screaming]

Wow!

[upbeat music]

He should have been turned into a chicken by now!

Turn me into a chicken, turn everyone into a chicken.

You notice this guy only has one idea?

[panting]

See the two with the real dumb expressions?

I think those are Jon and Odie.

You might as well give up!

[upbeat music]

[bowling strike sound]

[upbeat music]

I'm trapped.

Farewell, cathood!

I hope I'm this good looking when I'm a chicken.

I don't know how you escape my transformation ray, cat.

Do you, by any chance, eat huge quantities

of lasagna?

Well, that explains it.

But you'll never eat it again.

You hear me?

From now on, until you're served in a bucket,

it's chicken feed for you!

[screaming]

No, no!

Not me!

I'm not...

[screaming]

[laughing]

Oh, no! All out of chicken. Oh, but wait...

Now's my chance to try out these Earth chickens.

Now the question is how do I change everyone in town

back to everyone in town?

Oh, you look positively scrumptious.

[screaming]

Hey, this may work out.

Don't worry,

you're going to be delicious.

Now, where's that spatula?

Would you like me to prevent you

from winding up next to a little cup of coleslaw?

[clucking] Please!

I think we can make a deal.

And a deal we made.

And I'll say this for the guy.

He was a chicken of his word.

He told me how to change him back,

and then he changed everyone else back, including you.

He blanked out all your memories,

so you have no idea that you were ever a chicken.

Then, as he agreed,

he and his aide left the Earth after promising never to return

for take-out.

And that's how I saved the entire planet.

And now everything is back to normal.

I'll start make dinner, Garfield.

We're having....

Not fried chicken!

...lasagna.

Fine!

[barking]

Like I said, everything's back to normal.

Except, of course, Jon does lay an egg, once in a while.

Which I don't understand at all because...

boy chickens don't lay eggs.
