Garfield Gets Real and Sequels Characters
Garfield Gets Real is a direct-to-video Garfield movie released in 2007 and produced by Paws Inc. The characters were made via CGI. It was written by Jim Davis and chronicles Garfield's adventure into the "real world" out of the comic strip. The first one was Garfield Gets Real and was followed up by Garfield's Fun Fest and Garfield's Pet Force. Among the characters in these films are:
- Walter "Wally" Stegman - A geeky inventor who's best known for making the Bonitanator, which teleports cartoon characters between the Real and Cartoon World. Voiced by Neil Ross in the style of Bill Thompson character Wallace Wimple from Fibber McGee and Molly.
- Bonita Stegman - She is the nagging, often henpecking wife of Wally Stegman. Wally named the Bonitanator after her. Voiced by Jennifer Darling.
- Eli - He is the Head Technician of Comic Studios who prints comics and prepares settings. He doesn't change the plot story. He apparently isn't bothered by Garfield's laziness. Voiced by Greg Eagles.
- Billy Bear - Billy is the second most popular comic character. He is a friendly, big strong bear who enjoys fishing in Billy Bear Woods. He was one of the rescuers of the Mungie Hotel fire. Voiced by Fred Tatasciore.
- Randy Rabbit - He is the partner of Billy Bear helping him do fishing, which he really hates. He also wears a green cap. He playfully teases Betty. Voiced by Stephen Stanton.
- Prop Boy - As his name says, he is the prop boy at the studio that Garfield and the other comic strip characters work at. He gave Odie a bone for the strip with Garfield. Voiced by Frank Welker.
- Hale and Hardy - A muscular dog and a muscular cat who love to exercise that serve as the main antagonists in Garfield Gets Real. They were hired to replace Garfield and Odie if they never came back (though their manager is only concerned with their licensing potential), they are also jealous of them and end up kidnapping them and leaving them in a burning building. They speak with a German accent and may be based on Arnold Schwarzenegger or the Schwarzenneger-inspired Hans and Franz of Saturday Night Live fame. Voiced by Gregg Berger and Frank Welker. They really wanted to replace Garfield and Odie, to the point of kidnapping them and setting their hotel on fire. After Billy Bear rescued Garfield and Odie from Hale and Hardy's fiery trap, they are seen living as strays.
- Freddy Frog: A legendary comic character that appears in Garfield's Fun Fest. He helps Garfield find what he needs to beat Ramon in the talent show. Voiced by Tim Conway.
