Don't Move! is the third segment of the ninth episode of the first season of Garfield and Friends.

Synopsis[]

Garfield heads to a fish shop to eat and tells Odie to stay on a certain spot on the sidewalk. He ends up on a journey while Garfield is inside the shop.

Plot[]

Garfield walks out of the house and onto the sidewalk. He is soon followed by Odie, whom he does not want to follow him. When Odie sadly walks away, Garfield reconsiders. When they arrive at a crosswalk, Garfield tells Odie that they should always obey traffic lights, with the current one displaying "Don't walk". It then displays "Bark" and "Don't bark", with Odie complying to each. "Polka" is then shown, prompting Garfield and Odie to polka dance across the street.

The duo reaches Garfield's destination, a fish shop, where he plans to eat fish. Odie ponders the meaning of some signs on the window. Garfield explains them until he sees a photo of himself with the "no" sign. The cat disguises himself with gag glasses. To further keep his identity a secret, he marks a spot on the sidewalk, consisting of a circle with an "X" in the center, and places Odie on top of it. He gives him a simple command: "don't move!"

Odie stays put on the spot until a dogcatcher grabs him and takes him into his truck. A bump results in Odie flying out onto the street. He runs away from traffic and gets sprayed into a garbage truck, which drops him into a river barge. When he grabs a bone amid the garbage, he gets into a fight with a pelican for it. The fight ends after the pelican is shooed away by the barge captain, with Odie in its mouth. The duo flies near a burning building, where firefighters try to get a man to jump down into a net. The smoke causes the pelican to cough, eventually dropping Odie.

Odie falls down near the man, who is afraid to jump, causing the latter to fall down with him. Odie lands on the net, leaving just before the man follows suit. Odie jumps into the hands of a firefighter, who plans to bring him to the animal shelter. Upon hearing about another fire, the firefighter brings Odie along for the ride instead. Odie holds on tightly to the fire truck, as the firefighter warns him of tight turns.

Eventually losing his grip, Odie falls into a shopping cart, which rolls down the sidewalk until it crashes into a fire hydrant. He flies out of the cart and lands near the spot made by Garfield. Garfield walks out of the fish shop, satisfied with his visit. He finds Odie outside of the spot and expresses his disappointment. Odie reacts with confusion.
