An Ain’t It Cool News contributor gives us our first glimpse of the Garfield teaser trailer. According to the official website, this trailer should appear online in December.

If this teaser is any indication, this movies going to suck the very marrow out of next summer. As it begins, the beginning piano notes of “Old Time Rock and Roll” strike up. The camera looks through the entrance to a living room flanked on both sides by walls. Anyone over the age of twelve sees this coming. Garfield slides across the floor with sunglasses on ala Tom Cruise in Risky Business and the whole thing just goes to hell. Garfield, well, he looks exactly like you’ve seen in the promo art, ergo he looks nothing like Garfield. Fair enough… There’s a shot of Garfield dancing with Odie. Only it’s not Odie. I mean, it’s SUPPOSED to be Odie, but it’s not. At least they knew enough to make Odie a dog. Except that he’s a real dog, not a CG representation. Alright, once again, fair enough. But you know, could they at least get the color right? This Odie is dark brown and bares not the tiniest little inkling of resemblance to the tan, hyperactive ball of tongue and slobber that we all know, love and just can’t wait to see get kicked off the side of the table. This teasers going to have Garfield fans screaming bloody murder…
