I don't install Quick Time on my PC so I didn't watch the trailer. However I did read the synopsis, and there was mention of a dog but not one named Odie. Garfield was also active- remember the Halloween special where they went trick or treating? That fat cat ran like ten miles to get away from Pirate Ghosts.
Jon is supposed to be a little weener, living in a small house and wearing bell-bottoms. If they can keep it the same with Scooby-Doo, they can do it with Garfield. Garfield with no lasagna or Homer-esque food binges, and no Odie, and Jon living in a swanky house just makes for crappy movies.
Garfield's charm was that he was a fat overeating lasagna-loving cat, who beat up on Odie. Jon's charm was that he dressed like a retarded gay hairdresser from a bad pulp fiction novel, he couldn't get dates, he had a small Yugo-looking car, and he lived in a small house.
