[medieval music]

Once upon a time,

Prince Jon had to find a bride, and he needed one soon.

If you don't marry by your 21st birthday,

the next in line becomes king!

Next in line was the royal viceroy.

And he was not a nice man.

Pup, we have to stop that man!

We have to help Prince Jon find a wife!

[cheerful music]

[Odie whining]

Mmmm. Good burrito.

[Odie whining]

Hope you had something tasty while I was gone.

Now, where were we?

"Add one cup of flour to eggs

"and whisk thoroughly through until smooth.

"Add heavy cream..."

Huh? [giggling]

[Odie growling]

Oops, sorry. Wrong book.

[Odie whimpering]

Although that one was getting pretty interesting. Now then.

So, the brilliant cat and the not-brilliant dog

were determined to help Prince Jon marry

so he could be king.

But time was running out for him to find a bride.

I have dreamed for a mate who cared about life and beauty

and the world around her.

And me. Me would be nice.

You didn't find anyone you could marry?

♪ On the day she is mine ♪

In all my days of searching, I have found but one,

and she will not marry me.

[excited] You found one?

Yes. She is caring and compassionate.

Her name is Elizabeth,

and she is a commoner.

[confused] Oh, a commoner. A commoner!

Prince Jon told the royal food taster...

[crying]

I'll wait.

[groaning]

[blowing nose]

Are you quite finished?

[Odie whimpering]

Fine.

Prince Jon told the royal food taster about the woman named Elizabeth,

who lived in a cottage in the Blue Forest

to be near the animals she so dearly loved and cared for.

[happy humming]

She would feed the friendly squirrels.

She would feed the stray cats and dogs.

She would feed the colorful bluebirds.

[chirping sounds]

She would feed mice and moles.

[gobbling]

She would even feed the real disgusting creatures you sometimes

find out in the woods.

[groaning]

[groaning in disgust]

[laughing]

The birds and animals love you, fair Elizabeth.

That's because I love them.

I love you too, Prince Jon.

But I will not be your bride.

Why not?

The man I marry must show he has extraordinary heart.

I have heart.

You are a good man, Prince Jon,

but you have lived a pampered life.

You have never been called upon to show you possess that quality.

[sighing] That is sadly true.

[cackling]

[crying]

How could I possibly prove to her I am all that in time?

I cannot even prove it to myself.

Sure you can.

Go out to the Blue Forest, find your lady love

and convince her to be your bride.

You think I should?

You're the hero of this story. Act like it.

My cat is right.

I'm always right.

[Odie grousing]

[Garfield tittering]

I shall ride into the Blue Forest and find her now--

[doorbell ringing]

Hold on. Back in a sec.

[gleefully giggling]

[chortling]

Oh, by the way, thanks.

[groaning]

I don't know why I thank him. I can't talk. He can't hear me.

[Garfield grunting]

[joyful music]

Okay now, where was I?

Oh, yes.

The prince admitted his cat was right and--

[Odie muttering]

Well, if you wanted pizza,

you should have ordered eight of them like I did.

The prince said...

I shall ride into the Blue Forest and find her now!

[horse neighing]

Like a man possessed, the prince rode his horse out of the castle

and off towards the Blue Forest.

He was determined not to return

until he reached his lady love

and convinced her to become his bride.

[cheerful medieval music]

[Odie happily whimpering]

Don't get so happy yet. It's not that easy.

Meanwhile, the dashing cat thought his troubles were over...

See how it works, pup?

Prince Jon gets her to marry him,

the evil viceroy will not become king

and all my problems will be solved.

[twins] Kitty cat!

Oh, no!

-What's his shoe size? -Maybe some perfume!

Style his face!

No!

[Garfield] Stop!

-Scrub his tail! -Clean his eyes!

-Get some perfume! -Stop!

Correction: Not all my problems will be solved.

Kitty cat!

It's bath time! Wash his ears!

-We have gowns for you! -Scrub him!

-[screaming] No! -Kitty cat!

We want to play dress-up with the kitty!

[thudding and crashing]

And this is still a bad color for me.

Look! It's the puppy dog!

[yelping]

Puppy dog! It's the puppy dog!

-[blowing a raspberry] -[grumbling]

[dark medieval music]

The prince is heading to the forest.

So, like, if he convinces the animal lady to marry him,

what happens to your plan to become king?

He won't convince her because he won't get to her.

There's only one road into the Blue Forest,

and I've arranged to have it guarded by... someone.

[evil laughter]

Towards the Blue Forest Prince Jon rode,

determined that nothing would stop him from reaching his fair Elizabeth.

But something could stop him.

He could be stopped by...

Uh... The thing that could stop him was...

[Odie muttering]

Wait. I'm trying to think.

Oh, good heavens!

Look what time it is! I have to go annoy the mailman.

I'll be right back.

Huh?

[lively music]

[happy humming]

[gasping]

Oh, it's just you, Garfield.

I thought you might have a trick in mind to scare me.

You know... like dressing up as a fire-breathing dragon.

Me? Sweet, kindly me?

Fire-breathing dragon, huh?

Here's your mail.

-[giggling] -[screaming]

[screaming]

Scaring the mailman is not nice,

but it is part of my job description.

Bill, bill, bill... Jon has jury duty...

bill.

Fire-breathing dragon, huh?

[whining]

[coughing]

But as Prince Jon made his way into the forest--

Prince John rode as a man possessed

determined to reach Elizabeth.

A man he encountered warned him of the danger that lay ahead...

A fire-breathing dragon?

Up the road a piece. You can't miss him.

He's a dragon and he breathes fire.

I will not be denied my true love.

I am not afraid of any fire-breathing dragon.

[whinnying]

[braying]

Unfortunately, my horse is.

But I will not be denied!

Deeper into the forest he went, but there was no sign

of the monster he'd heard of...

Fire-breathing dragon. Ha!

What nonsense! What foolishness.

[roaring]

What am I doing here?

[roaring]

[dramatic music]

No, I wouldn't exactly describe Prince Jon as brave...

Courageous?

No...

-Stupid? -You're getting warmer.

I guess the word that best describes him is...

barbecued.

I'd say medium rare.

Somehow, the prince made it back to the castle.

There, spirits were down and taxes were going up...

A tax on using adverbs,

a tax on clipping your toenails on a Wednesday,

a tax on being named Michael...

Prince Jon turns 21 at noon tomorrow.

If he isn't married, that nasty man becomes king.

What are we going to do?

A tax on not making up your mind...

You know that real dumb thing Prince Jon just tried?

[whimpering]

I hate to say it, but I think we have to try it too.

[gulping]

And so, the adorable cat and the not-too-bright dog

set off for the Blue Forest.

Prior to takeoff, please make sure your seat and tray tables

are in the upright position

and that all electronic devices are powered off.

Are you ready?

[whining]

And away we go!

[action music]

I hope someone comes by to pass out those little bags of peanuts.

[screaming]

They got about as far as Prince Jon had when...

[whining]

Do not be afraid, faithful and furry friend.

There's no reason to be afraid of a fire-breathing dragon.

[whining]

None whatsoever.

I'll be back in the castle. Let me know how things turn out.

[dramatic music]

[roaring]

And here they stood,

the brave cat and the mediocre dog,

face to face with the dragon.

-And then... -[whining]

And then...

[whining]

And then...

[whimpering]

And then...

[teeth chattering]

You know what goes great after pizza?

A tuna salad sandwich on rye.

[exasperated whimper]

[upbeat music]
