[edit] Episode recap

Garfield wakes up one morning and finds himself in a Space Shuttle-like location. After a warrior (Starwolf) passes by him and makes commands to his fleet, Garfield soon realizes that he is in the wrong cartoon. He then asks Starwolf for assistance, but Starwolf doesn’t recognize him as a cat and tries to attack him, as Starwolf and his fleet are apparently trying to take over the world.

Garfield manages to get away; then he soon discovers that he is actually inside a robot. He commands the robot to stop, and it does; then Garfield commands it (and another robot) to dance, which causes enough commotion to ruin Starwolf and company’s invasion plans. Garfield further learns that the robots are Transformer-like robots, and he hits random buttons to see what will happen.

Garfield’s button pressing ejects him from the robot via a transportation pod, and he lands in a forest. He is relieved that he is no longer in the cartoon with the giant robots until he meets a band of cute animals living in the forest who promise to teach him to be sweet and nice. He then wishes to be back with the giant robots, and he gets back into the pod and leaves.

[edit] Notes

• The song playing during the dance routine with the robots is "Old Folks at Home," also known as "(Way Down Upon the) Swanee River".
