The film's central subject matter of personal growth, responsibility, and the value of relationships is inherently apolitical, and its narrative champions universal themes without engaging with specific political ideologies.
The film maintains traditional casting for its human characters and the voice of its titular animated character, without any intentional race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative is a straightforward family comedy that does not engage with or critique traditional identities, nor does it feature explicit DEI themes.
Garfield: The Movie does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the titular cat's adventures, his owner Jon, and the dog Odie, without any elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The film does not feature any female characters engaging in direct physical combat against male opponents. The plot focuses on Garfield's adventures and does not include such action sequences.
The film adapts characters from the Garfield comic strip. All major characters, including Garfield, Jon, Odie, Liz, Nermal, and Arlene, retain their established canonical genders from the source material. No gender swaps are present.
The main human characters, Jon Arbuckle and Liz Wilson, are portrayed by actors of the same race as their comic strip counterparts. The animal characters (Garfield, Odie) are not subject to the definition of human race swap.
