-[snoring] -[clock ringing]

[upbeat music]

[Paddy] It all started, as some good things do,

on a bleak and rainy day.

In the Arbuckle house, a man named Jon was concerned about his cat.

I don't know what it is, Liz.

He's just been moping around, looking kind of glum.

I don't think he's sick or anything.

What did you mean, when you said he has no enthusiasm?

-[Garfield groaning] -Watch. I'll show you.

Garfield,

I'm baking a ton of sausage lasagna. Aren't you excited?

-[Garfield groaning] -[Jon sighing]

You're right. Something's very, very wrong.

And I have no idea what it is.

Even if I could talk and tell you, Jon,

you wouldn't understand because I don't understand.

It's like I don't even matter.

All I do is eat and sleep and eat and sleep.

[Odie muttering]

Oh, yeah. I also throw the stick so Odie can fetch it.

How meaningful.

[soft whining]

[Garfield sighing]

[Odie muttering]

[Paddy] And a little while later, the rain had stopped,

as the rain always does.

Garfield had been cooped up inside for days

so he decided to go out for a little walk.

But he headed for the end

of maybe the most spectacular rainbow anyone had ever seen.

And what do you suppose was at the end of that rainbow?

[magical music]

Why, me of course.

Top o' the cartoon to you, folks!

The name's O'Furniture, but you can call me Paddy.

[screaming]

[thudding]

Greetings, Garfield. Remember me?

The great maker of magic back in season two?

If you're so good at magic,

how come you haven't gotten yourself on the show since then?

You haven't needed me since then.

And need me he did.

Garfield told me how he'd been feeling lately.

Like his life was boring and didn't matter.

It's like it wouldn't have made a bit of difference if I'd never been born.

It would have made a big difference.

Oh yeah?

Tell me one thing that would have been different if I'd never existed.

I'll do better than that. I'll show you.

[gasping] Where are we going?

To a world where you never existed!

[Garfield screaming]

[magical music]

We're here.

No. We're there.

There is not here.

We're in a world exactly like the one you lived in,

except you've never lived in it.

Oh. There's the mailman. I'll scare him.

That always makes me feel better.

[screaming]

He can't see us. He can't hear us either.

Remember, in this world you never existed.

Ouch!

[little old lady ] Oh, thank you, Mr. Post.

Here you go, Mrs. Goodrich.

Who's that woman living in our house?

It's not your house in this world.

Is that other letter for me?

Nope. It's for Mr. Arbuckle.

He's the fellow who owned this house before you.

He lives over in a mansion on the west side now.

"Mansion?"

Come on. I'll show ye.

A lot of things are different because you aren't around.

[chuckling] Apparently.

Wow. How is Jon able to afford a place like this?

Mainly it's the money he's saving by not having to feed a cat.

Ouch.

[gasping]

[intriguing music]

[muttering]

You want someone to throw the stick so you can fetch it, boy?

Oh, Daws!

Stick-throwing duty again, sir?

Please.

Very well. Here, Odie.

I shall throw the stick and you can fetch it.

[barking happily]

Again and again and again.

They don't seem to need me.

Hey. Arlene! She always seemed to need me.

Let's go see.

Oh, Bruno, you always make me feel so beautiful.

[gasping]

Let's go to the park and we can sit under the trees.

Arlene and Bruno? Boy, I really don't matter.

No, Garfield. I brought you here to make you realize

you matter for many reasons

and one in particular.

-Well, I haven't seen... -[crowd screaming]

Hey? What's going on?

[journalist] A state of emergency has been declared

for the entire world.

It was announced moments ago by President Jim Davis.

"President Jim Davis?" Jim is president in this world?

Oi, he doesn't have your comic strip to draw.

Wow. I hope he doesn't mind the loss of prestige.

[journalist] Scientists report the impending invasion

by warriors from the planet Parma,

a world where people all resemble Earth lasagnas.

[groaning]

This telescopic footage shot just moments ago

shows the invasion forces who intend to enslave us all.

[dramatic music]

-[gasping] -They will be landing any minute now.

[crowd gasping]

And President Davis urges all to remain calm.

[chuckling] In these horrifying times, it is important

that everyone remains calm and cool,

even though we're all doomed!

Doomed, I tell you! Doomed! [screaming]

[crowd screaming]

[ominous music]

People of Earth! Bow down before your new masters.

You will work for us. You will obey us.

And you will not eat anything that looks like us.

Isn't there anyone who can stop them?

There is no one in this world who can stop them.

Hold the phone! I can stop them.

You can't, Garfield. You were never born, remember?

But you can fix that! Make me real!

Quick! Before my favorite food conquers my favorite planet.

Make me really exist here.

Well, I shouldn't...

but I guess this is an emergency. -[fingers snapping]

[gasping]

There seems to be no one in this world who dares stand against us.

[Garfield] I dare to stand against you!

[growling]

[laughing] A cat?

One lone cat thinks he can defeat the awesome forces of Parma?

Private Provolone!

Scan the memory cells of this impudent one

and show me what he is capable of!

Yes, General Gorgonzola.

[suspenseful music]

This will show us what he has done so we may see he is no threat to us.

[gasping]

[gasping]

[soldiers screaming]

[dramatic music]

Oh, I want to get a copy of this on Blu-Ray.

General! We cannot defeat such a monster!

What are we going to do?

I will tell you what we do! Retreat! [screaming]

-[alarm blaring] -[screaming]

[chuckling]

-He got rid of the lasagna people! -[cheering]

[cheering]

Hey, maybe I can make a difference in this world after all!

[soft music]

[fingers snapping]

[crowd gasping]

Hey! Why did you drag me away from my adoring public?

Because you don't belong in this reality.

You said you'd show me a special reason why I mattered.

Was that it? Me saving the world?

No, that wasn't it, but we'll get to it.

Did you enjoy having my butler throw the stick so you could fetch it, boy?

[Odie muttering]

[sighing]

I know how you feel.

It's not the same as having a playmate in the family.

I've been thinking.

Maybe we should have someone else here. Maybe a cat.

[Odie barking]

[gasping]

Oh, but it couldn't be just any cat.

To fit in with us, it would have to be a very special cat.

Smart, funny...

[Jon sighing] I don't think there's a cat like that in the entire world!

Yes, there is! Me! Me, me, me!

[moaning]

Is that the thing you wanted to show me that proves I'm needed?

No. Come with me.

[magical music]

I thought you and Bruno were sweet on each other.

We were. But he's just not right for me.

The guy I want has to be one of a kind, with a great sense of humor.

Someone orange with black stripes.

Someone I could do things for, like maybe make lasagna if he liked it.

Whoo! That's me! I like lasagna! I'm all those things!

Is that the thing you wanted to show me that proves I'm needed?

[magical music]

Vito's pizzeria is out of business?

How did this happen?

Do not be sad, Vito. You are a great cook.

It is not your fault business was so poor.

If only I'd had one more regular customer!

One who ate fifty pizzas a week. [crying]

Without me, Vito would have to close down.

So that's the thing you wanted to show me that proves I'm needed?

No. Come with me.

[magical music]

[screaming]

Garfield,

you know all those people out there watching this show?

If you didn't exist, you know what they'd be looking at right now?

No. What?

This.

[static noise]

They're still watching.

Because you matter. To them, anyway.

Wow. I guess I do.

I think it's time you went home to the place where you belong.

Bye now.

[gasping]

[cheerful music]

Hi, Garfield.

I'll be ready on time for our date tonight.

Date tonight? Oh yeah sure, Arlene. Sure.

-What? -[Odie muttering]

Oh, sure, boy. Sure.

[barking happily]

[sighing happily]

I matter. You do, too.

And I hope you don't have to go through what I went through to know it.

[barking happily]

[cheerful music]

[upbeat music]
