Corrected entry: The rescue mission in this movie references Toy Story 2 in several ways. One is crossing a street hidden under everyday items. Another one is going into a skyscraper to save a friend. Another is traveling through an air vent.

Correction: I don't think this is trivia, as it is too obvious.

Corrected entry: When at the dog show, before Garfield runs out, all the dogs are being held by their leashes and collars. When they chase after Garfield for the next minute or so, they have on no collars or leashes.

Correction: When the dogs take off after Garfield they obviously slipped out of their collars to chase him.

Corrected entry: When the pets escape from the dog pound, we get a shot from the outside as they run out the door onto the stairs. But the door opens INWARD.

Correction: Some doors open inwards, all based on how the hinges are placed.

Correction: A clarification on the voice of Pete Venkman in The Real Ghostbusters ... Lorenzo Music (the original voice of Garfield) did the voice in 1986-1987, after that Dave Coulier did the voice of Peter Venkman from 1987-1991. Just so no one mistakes Dave Coulier as the voice of Garfield.

Correction: Not all states require a licence plate to be mounted on the front of a vehicle.

Corrected entry: How did the old woman, who picked up the sausage dog from outside, know the name of the dog? There was no collar with a tag on its neck.

Correction: She didn't, her posters said 'dog found'. When Happy claims Odie is his pet, he tells her that he responds to Odie which he learned at the dog show.

Garfield: The Movie mistake picture

Continuity mistake: 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.

More quotes from Garfield: The Movie

Trivia: Bill Murray agreed to be in the film without reading the full script upon seeing the name "Joel Cohen" listed as a writer. It turns out he thought he was signing onto a film co-written by "Joel Coen" of the Coen Brothers fame. It wasn't until he began recording his lines sometime later that he realised his mistake.

More trivia for Garfield: The Movie

Question: This is for the movie and the comics. Can Jon hear Garfield? I'm asking because in the comics, Jon responds to what Garfield says, but Garfield's speech is always in thought bubbles. But in the movie, Garfield's lips are moving. Can someone please explain?

Brad

Chosen answer: Jon makes educated guesses in the comics based on Garfield's body language and surroundings, he doesn't actually hear Garfield in either medium.
