Differences

 * Rather than directly-to-video, the film is released theatrically.
 * It was released on June 4th, 2010, and the 2010 and 2022 Marmaduke films wouldn't exist in order to have the Marmaduke characters appear in Garfield Gets Real.
 * Garfield wouldn't use lip syncing.
 * It is produced by 20th Century Fox Animation and Blue Sky Studios instead of The Animation Picture Company.
 * Also, Blue Sky Studios will handle the CGI for Garfield and Odie when they're in real world.
 * The comic world would be traditionally-animated.
 * 20th Century Fox convinced Peanuts Worldwide LLC., King Features Syndicate, TBD to lend their characters to appear in the film, the same way Spielberg convinced Warner Bros. and the various other companies to lend their characters to appear in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
 * [Marmaduke, Heathcliff, Popeye, Betty Boop, Snoopy, Woodstock, the rest of the Peanuts gang, Blondie, Calvin and Hobbes, Dennis the Menace, Doonesbury, B.C., Hi and Lois, Beetle Bailey, Sgt Snorkel, Miss Buxley, Otto, Henry, Lockhorns, Big Nate, Dilbert, Krazy Kat, Little Orphan Annie, the Wizard of Id, Wotasnozzle, Ziggy, Lio, Häger the Horrible, Lucky Eddie, Sally Forth, Jeremy Duncan, Dick Tracy, Pearls Before Swine, Far Side, Bloom County, Luann, Breaking Cat News, Non Sequitur, Moose and Molly, Skylock Fox, Oh, Brother!, Joe Palooka, Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, Asterix, Obelix, Fingerpori, Moomintroll, Monica's Gang and The Katzenjammer Kids making cameos]
 * The film's trailer would use a orchestrated rendition of "Friends are There".
 * Garfield's Pet Force wouldn't exist, although some elements will be incorporated into Garfield Gets Real.
 * Garfield's Fun Fest (titled just Fun Fest) was heavily rewritten into a short film to accompany the film on home media.
 * Due to many other comic strip characters made for this film, the U.S. Acres characters would have appeared since Garfield and U.S. Acres are created by Jim Davis.
 * Same goes for Liz, Doc Boy, Squeak, Mr. Arbuckle, Mrs. Arbuckle, Binky the Clown and Herman Post.
 * A fan-made comic that contains profane language and Jon threatening to rape Garfield in the background, a close-up of the bee at the opening and a generic dance party at the end were removed in the film while the bland humor is toned down.

Trivia

 * To date, this is Blue Sky Studios' only film to combine live-action photography with animation, as well as their only one to use hand-drawn animation, which was done by Duncan Studio, Yowza! Animation, Duck Studios, Film Roman, Mercury Filmworks and Toon City Animation, using digital-ink-and-paint.
 * The 2D hand-drawn animation sequences were directed by Richard Williams and Eric Goldberg while the live-action sequences were directed by Joe Dante.
 * Film Roman did produce the 2-D Garfield television specials and Garfield and Friends.
 * This is the last Garfield film to be distributed by 20th Century Fox (who lost the television rights to Garfield franchise shortly after the film's home media release), nine years prior to Nickelodeon's acquisition of Paws, Inc. in August 2019, as well as the upcoming animated  film which will be distributed by Sony Pictures and produced by Alcon Entertainment, and was set to be released in 2024.
