Garfield, the Cat who loves Italian cuisine The story of Garfield is fully explained to audiences. Where did he come from and how he ended up with John is explained here. It's rather a cute story. Garfield is really the boss of the house who loves lasagna, pizza and food in general. Oldie, his sidekick puppy, has joined the family. John, Garfield and Odie lives comfortably in the suburbs. When Garfield and Odie are kidnapped, they're saved by Vic, Garfield s father. Jinx, the white cat, has kidnapped them to lure Vic. She is mad that he left her on a milk run. She spent five years in the pound. Vic and Garfield are sent on a mission to steal milk from Lactose Farms. The film is fine and enjoyable for families with young children.
