The pair return for the sequel of the lovable tabby cat

In the world of animation inside live-action, Walt Disney started it all with Mary Poppins. But in the 40 years since that classic, many other studios have perfected it.

Fox did it a few years ago with Garfield: The Movie; now, the lovable fat cat is back in Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties. The cast is back, with a few added animals - including a Garfield look-a-like, Prince, voiced by Tim Curry.

In the film, the gang heads to London where Garfield and Prince get mixed up; Garfield ends up living the extravagant life in a castle, while Price lives Garfield's life eating lasagna.
