It stars Breckin Meyer as Jon Arbuckle, Jennifer Love Hewitt as Dr. Liz Wilson, and features Bill Murray as the voice of Garfield.

The film shares several similarities to the 1982 animated special Here Comes Garfield. Garfield: The Movie grossed $200 million on a $50 million budget. The film was released in the United States on June 11, 2004. A sequel, Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties, was released in June 2006.
Garfield is a fat and free-spirited orange cat who lives with his owner, Jon Arbuckle. Garfield passes his time by antagonizing Jon and teasing an aggressive neighbor Doberman Pinscher, Luca. Aside from Jon, Garfield maintains an unlikely friendship with a helpful mouse, Louis. He also socializes with his fellow neighborhood cats, including Garfield's stooge Nermal and Arlene.
