Garfield (2004)
A pampered cat's cozy life turns upside down when a new dog threatens his reign and his owner's affection.
Garfield, the fat, lazy, lasagna lover, has everything a cat could want. But when Jon, in an effort to impress the Liz - the vet and an old high-school crush - adopts a dog named Odie and brings him home, Garfield gets the one thing he doesn't want. Competition.
