In dieser Serien-Neuauflage aus französischer Produktion erleben die Zuschauer den frech-faulen Kater Garfield zum ersten Mal komplett CGI-animiert sowie in 3D und HD. Dabei fallen Garfields schrullige Missgeschicke hier in der Regel derber und bizarrer aus als in den bekannten älteren Comics oder in vorangegangenen Serien. Natürlich sind auch Herrchen Jon Arbuckle und Hund Odie wieder mit dabei. Und sogar der 50er-Jahre-Fernseher im Wohnzimmer hat den Sprung ins 21. Jahrhundert geschafft – nur hat dieser jetzt auch eine Zusatzbox, mit deren Hilfe der dicke Kater HDTV sehen kann!
