Odie on a diet, and Garfield gleefully torments Odie into doing push-ups as payback for yesterday. Voice cast Lorenzo Music as Garfield Thom Huge as Jon Arbuckle Gregg Berger as Odie Julie Payne as Dr. Liz Wilson Pat Carroll as Grandma Songs "Make Thanksgiving One Whole Meal" by Lou Rawls "It's a Quiet Celebration" by Desirée Goyette Book adaptation The book adaptation, which retains the original title "Garfield's Thanksgiving," deviates in the following ways: Odie and the scale are not involved in Garfield's torment, and Jon – too deliriously happy about having Liz over for Thanksgiving dinner – is ignorant to the fact that Garfield is in misery. Garfield is also weak and suffers from insomnia, resulting in a sleepless night. More of Jon's self-ruined Thanksgiving dinner is shown. In the end, the turkey he did not thaw or butter is in terrible state, the sabotaged vegetables are smoking, and the pie he made is burnt. Jon is the one to decide to call Grandma without needing Garfield to offer the idea. At the end, there is no mention of any new diets. Odie and Garfield simply sit comfortably with their full bellies as Jon sees Liz out the door, the three agree unanimously that they have Grandma to thank.
