While there, Garfield ends up trading places with a look-alike kitty named Prince (voice of Tim Curry), who has inherited a huge estate and a large fortune. This gives Garfield a life of luxury, but also a problem: he must avoid being done away with by the next in line to inherit. Bob Hoskins provides the voice of the bulldog Winston.

Robert Altman directed this good-natured movie about the final show of a folksy radio program that's been on the air for three decades. The fictional program is quite similar to the real-life one hosted by Garrison Keillor, who plays a version of himself called G.K. in the film. In the movie, corporate interests plan to raze St. Paul's Fitzgerald Theater to put in a parking lot. The film's ensemble cast includes Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, Kevin Kline, Woody Harrelson, John C. Reilly, Tommy Lee Jones and Lindsay Lohan. Selected DVD Special Features:
