Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties - Plot

Plot

In a palace somewhere in Great Britain, a royal cat named Prince (voiced by Tim Curry), is living a luxurious life,And he's not as cute as Garfield though and is king of his castle, known as Carlyle Castle. On the other side of the world, Garfield the cat (voiced by Bill Murray) is living in his owner Jon's house a year after the first movie and believes that he's the king of the home. That night, Jon invites his girlfriend Liz (Jennifer Love Hewitt) over for dinner, and is planning to propose to her. Jon is about to propose, but is unable to find the ring because Garfield took it so as to keep Jon all to himself. Garfield also eats the turkey dinner Jon made for Liz. Liz tells Jon that she's been asked to travel to Great Britain for a veterinarian convention, and is flying there tomorrow. After she leaves, Jon decides to go to England to be with Liz and propose to her there.

The next day, Garfield thinks that he and Odie are going with Jon to Britain, but instead they are sent to the kennel where they are to stay while Jon is in London. Garfield throws a tantrum, and damages his and Odie's cage door. The two of them get out of the cage and escape into Jon's car, hiding in his luggage. Meanwhile, at Carlyle Castle, Prince has just been named the new owner of the castle (as it said on the will of the past owner of the castle), but a man named Lord Dargis (Billy Connolly), the nephew of the past owner, expected that the owner would give him all the land. Prince's assistant, Winston, is worried that Dargis will get rid of Prince in order to get the land. Dargis puts Prince in a picnic basket and throws him in a river which leads to London in order to have the soliciters believe Prince has run away. Jon arrives at his hotel and is about to propose to Liz when Garfield and Odie come out of his bag. Jon is surprised, and leaves Garfield and Odie in the hotel room while he and Liz go sightseeing. Garfield and Odie escape in search of Jon when the hotel maid comes in.

Meanwhile, Dargis tells the soliciterss and tells them he will be the next owner of the palace. The animals who are kept in a barn in the palace receive about the Prince's disappearance from a crow. After sending a mouse to look around, they also find out that Dargis is planning to kill them in order to spare more land and serve them to the guests. Meanwhile, the butler of Caryle Castle, Smithee, is told by Dargis to go to London to get his new suit. He finds Garfield and Odie during their travels and mistakes him for Prince, bringing him to the castle and leaving Odie alone. Prince manages to get out of a gutter in front of Odie, to his confusion. Jon finds the two and, mistaking Prince for Garfield, takes them back to his hotel room.

At the castle, the animals realize that Garfield is not Prince, due to his voice and attitude, but are not concerned as he just needs to look like him to fool the solicitors into thinking Prince has returned. Dargis mistakes Garfield for Prince, and unsuccessfully attempts to have him killed. At the hotel, Odie brings Jon and Liz's map to Prince. Prince spots Carlyle Castle on the map, and sets off to return to the palace.

Jon realizes that Garfield is gone and goes off with Odie to find him. Jon does not find him, but Odie finds a newspaper containing Prince's picture and shows Jon that Garfield could've been mistaken for Prince. Jon and Odie rent a car and head for Carlyle Castle. In Carlyle Castle, Garfield hears Preston and Winston's words about Garfield being a horrible replacement for Prince. This upsets him, but he soon decides to find Jon. Liz, however, has arrived at the castle for the convention, and Garfield finds Dargis hitting on Liz. Garfield distracts Dargis, and is subsequently thrown in a dungeon underneath the castle. Jon meets up with Smithee and after explaining the story, he decides to come with them.

Garfield is rescued by Winston. but decides to head back to London, citing Winston's earlier remarks about him being simply a housecat. On his way out, he comes face to face with Prince in a "fake mirror" scene, each copying the other's movements until Garfield fools Prince into fainting. Prince explains that he had been living Garfield's life for the last three days, and that he should return to his owner, but Garfield tells them that they should fight Dargis, and decides to stay. The animals set traps all over the palace, with Garfield and Prince luring him into the traps. They manage to run him around the entire castle, making the solicitors believe he has gone crazy. Jon and Odie arrive as Dargis gets a crossbow and aims it at the cats and the solicitors, forcing them to sign the deed of the castle over to him. Odie bites Dargis on the butt, making him throwing the cross bow away. Dargis takes out a gun and holds Liz hostage, but Nigel the ferret enters Dargis' pants, and he is soon punched out by Jon and falls to the floor. Smithee brings out troops of the police to arrest him.

Liz sees Garfield and Prince, not knowing the difference between the two of them. Garfield kicks Odie off the chair they are sitting on in order to prove who is who. Jon takes out the ring and proposes to Liz. Liz happily accepts, and the animals, Garfield, and Prince party at the end of the film, celebrating their freedom.
