Garfield, the world's favorite cat, has begun his very own British Invasion, wreaking havoc on the entire United Kingdom. He's traveled across the pond (with canine sidekick Odie) to surprise his master, Jon Arbuckle (BRECKIN MEYER), who is in London to propose to his girlfriend, veterinarian Liz Wilson (JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT).

Garfield came…he saw…he conquered: Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Scotland Yard and his new favorite dish: minced pie (okay, it's not lasagna, but you can't have everything). As befitting an adventure worthy of a feline phenomenon, Garfield has switched places with Prince, a royal cat who has just inherited a castle. Now the castle is Garfield's – and who's more deserving?

In the grand estate Garfield now calls home, he's receiving the royal treatment, including a butler and an international array of four-legged servants and followers. It's a life fit for a king…even though Garfield is only a prince; in fact, he's the real "Prince and the Paw-purr."

Uneasy is the head, however, that wears the crown. Lord Dargis, who is next in line to inherit the estate, wants Prince/Garfield out of the picture. And Garfield finds his bigger, better, more purr-fect world turned upside down in this tale of two kitties.

Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (also known as Garfield 2) is a sequel to the original Garfield movie that came out in 2004. The film is live action except for Garfield, who is CGI-animated, and both films are adapted from Jim Davis' famous cartoon strip, which can be read in about 2,600 newspapers around the world.
