Garfield belongs to Jim Davis. Beauty and the Beast and all characters belong to Disney. Thank you and enjoy the crossover.


"Oh boy, I'm late! I'm late! I'm extremely late!" Garfield the cat admonished himself as ran as fast as he could to the city auditorium. At the auditorium, young boys and girls were eagerly waiting in their seats for the performance to begin. Over the intercom system the announcer was beginning the introductions.

"And now boys and girls here's Garfield the cat! The children began applauding but Garfield didn't come out. "And, uh?" Now boys and girls, Garfield the cat! Once again Garfield failed to appear. "WILL SOMEONE GET THAT STUPID CAT ON STAGE!"

As if on cue Garfield flew into the auditorium after slipping on a wet floor. "Whooa!" Garfield screamed as flew down the aisle way and hitting face-first into the stage which the children laughed at finding incredibly funny. "Ouch." Garfield groaned as he got up. Walking up to the stage he sat down on the chair in the middle of the stage, he picked up a book and addressed the crowd. "I will now read to you the classic story, Beauty and the Beast." "Lights, music, please?" The lights came down in the auditorium with only a spotlight on Garfield and the band began playing the introductory music to Beauty and the Beast.

"Once upon a time, in a faraway land; what a great beginning huh kids?" Garfield said in the middle of the intro. "A young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. But then, one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away. But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within. And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. The prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart. And as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there. Ashamed of his monstrous form, the beast concealed himself inside his castle, with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his 21st year. If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope. For who could ever learn to love a beast?"

"Wow that's pretty harsh, tough luck fella" Garfield concluded.

"Garfield, Garfield, wake up." a melodic voice sang.

"What? Who's there?" Garfield exclaimed, forcing himself up from under his covers. As his vision cleared he made out a striking young woman with dark brown eyes and hair kneeling at the front of his bed. "Oh it's you. Yeah leave me a forwarding email address Belle and I'll get back to you, ok?" Garfield pulled the sheets back over his head.

"Garfield, it's such a lovely day outside, and Odie and I are going into town to shop." Belle persisted as the small pup trotted in and gave two happy barks. "Doesn't that sound nice?" Belle insisted as she prodded Garfield with her hands for him to wake him up.

Garfield poked his head out from under his covers with a more irritated look on his face "Look, Belle I don't do the whole 'ray of sunshine thing' ok?" to which Garfield promptly went back underneath his covers when he was finished his comment.

Belle got up off her knees with exasperated sigh and went over to her bedroom window and flung open the curtains letting in the sunshine. "Garfield! It's one o'clock in the afternoon." Belle said

"Oh it's that early huh?" Garfield said sarcastically from under his bed sheets.

"You've only been up for breakfast and lunch." Belle stated as she kneeled back at Garfield's bed.

"Awww you figured out how this crossover is going to work didn't you? Garfield remarked as he reached up and pinched Belle on her cheeks with a sly grin. "Now be good and make sure you bring back lots of food, I'm going to be starved after my post lunch mid afternoon nap." Garfield said with a patronizing wave of his paw and went back under his covers.

Belle let out a small sigh but then formed a grin on her lips. "Fine, if you don't want to come, than I guess Odie and I will just get what we want isn't that right boy?" Belle turned to give Odie a scratch behind his ears.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!" Odie said happily through his panting.

"I know! I'll get raisins and lots of them!" Belle exclaimed.

"You wouldn't dare." Garfield said as he angrily came up from under the covers.

"Oh by the way Garfield since you're staying home you can help Papa with his invention, I know how much you love that." Belle sarcastically stated.

Garfield eyes went wide upon hearing this. "Arghhhh! He bellowed shooting out of his bed like a rocket. OK! OK! You win lets go to town." Garfield said with a mortified expression as he grabbed Belle by the hand and led her down the stairs.


Yay I'm back and Re-uploading this now that I have a computer that works :) Basically it is a re-telling of the movie from Garfields point of view who will join Belle along with his pal Odie on her adventures during the film. Belle will be her happy go-lucky self and Garfield lazy, lovable sarcastic self. PS Garfield will have his fourth wall sense. He will know that he is a disney movie. Thank you and enjoy the crossover.
