Continuity: When Odie comes out on the porch to keep Garfield company, his collar and tags are visible; even more so when he attempts to get back in. But when the shot pulls away to show Odie alone on the steps (before running off after the scooter), his collar is gone. Part of the plot hinges on Jon trying to find Odie, who wasn't wearing his tags.

Revealing: When one of the men picks up Garfield from his cage to display to potential buyers at the pound, you can see the man's right hand "entangled" with the computer-generated Garfield.

Continuity: When Garfield is looking for Telegraph Tower, he says it's next to a blue and orange tree. On the Kibbly Kat box however, there is no blue and orange tree on the box, let alone next to the tower.

Continuity: When Garfield rescues Odie and Happy Chapman picks up Odie he puts the shock collar on him. It then cuts to the dogs howling and then cuts back to Happy Chapman and you can see that the collar is no longer around Odie's neck but in Happy Chapman's hand. It then cuts back to the dogs and then back to Happy Chapman and the collar is back on Odie. He then starts to run and the collar is off again.

Continuity: When Odie is trying to get back inside after Garfield locked him outside, it shows him wearing his collar. But then it disappears and appears again. We already know that Jon took Odie's coller off for his bath.

Revealing: When Garfield and the mouse are going down the street underneath cardboard boxes, you can see the wheels of remote-controlled "cars" that were used to create the illusion. It is especially obvious in some of the scenes of the mouse, under the Chinese-Food box.

Continuity: When the books fall from the shelf in front of Garfield, there is a pile of books right in front of him. When it cuts, the pile is gone and the books are more scattered.

Continuity: Garfield has a thumb on his front paws, giving him 5 digits on the bottom of his paws. He is shown leaning on a window and all 5 are making contact with the window as a human hand would. The paw print that Jon finds and recognizes as Garfield's are normal cat prints with only marks from 4 digits. If his paw did have 5 digits as seen in the window, he would have left a 5 toed print.

Continuity: After Garfield takes treatment at an orphanage, he looks at a dog in a cage and jumps on the counter. In this shot on the counter you can see the comb, a bottle of shampoo and a jug of liquid soap. Look at these things when Garfield says 'But I've got somebody waiting', and you'll see that the comb has changed position on the counter.

Factual error: Garfield enters the train control room at Los Angeles Union Station when the only employee in the room leaves the room. There would always be someone in this room when the trains are in operation.

Continuity: When they are doing the line up at the pound, there was more than one cat playing Happys cat. When they first put Happys cat down on the floor, you see his back is all black. But when the guard picks him back up he has a white spot on his back. When Happys cat hits the red button, his back is black again. This happens a few more times throughout the movie.

Revealing: When Garfield is in the air vent, he falls out into a box, which topples over. The Garfield that falls into the box is motionless, in a crouched position, and obviously a stuffed toy.

Factual error: When John is talking on the phone to someone who found a dog, he says something about Odie not being a hound dog, and how sure he was. Odie is part wirehair Dachshund (you can look it up - plus I own Dachshunds), which is from the hound breed.

Continuity: When Garfield is outside of the house, the dog door shows as green. When Odie is outside it is black. Throughout the movie, the dog door continuously changes color.
