Yep, they seem to imply that Odie is way smarter than Jon and Garfield give him credit for (Garfield even said it twice on Garfield & Friends)

[@Monkeylad392]

When it comes to Odie, I can best describe him as the original Ferb, where they don't really need words to convey what they mean. It's like what Red says in Pokémon Masters "Words are unnecessary."

[@SirCitrus_VR]

He most likely kept silent because he was smart enough to know if they knew he could speak and understand they might make him file taxes

[@angeleyez518111]

You might be right🤔

[@dalys1155]

I think I vaguely remember an episode where odie talked and the first thing they made him do was file John’s taxes (this happened in the 3D Garfield show)

[@SethBryant1982]

In one episode of the old TV show didn't the cats use a machine to dampen his intelligence in order to prevent him from ruining their plan for world domination since he was the only one that found out about it? I remember that. So the cats did it.

So he is like patrick pretending to be dumb but he is smart just to spend time with spongebob

In the 3D animated direct to dvd movies he can talk a little bit, but the continuity is a little weird there as Jon can understand exactly what Garfield is saying

[@4K_Asahi]

Not assuming it's called something like "mind read" or that Jon just knows what Garfield needs; same for Odie

[@lugialover2496]

He does little words you can easily decipher like “oh, yeah…”, “yeah!”, “duh.”, “right!”, and others

I feel like he either prefers to bark, or he’s mute.

If the movie had odie taking, they probably would have put it at the end with him having a deep voice.

[@Paperplayz.]

Not only that but in the movie, but he sloves a crazy mathmatical equation

[@gobstersquad3570]

I think it’s because, that one scene when the cat villain tried talking to humans, and all they heard was “meow”, I think odie was supposed to be a clue to what humans really hear, it’s not that he can’t talk, because obviously Garfield understands him, it’s just they wanted to show us that the animals appear to be barking or meowing and what better way to show it, than taking the “sidekick” and making them “not talk”.

[@waterblade696]

Makes sense

[@MasonSansoucie]

I want every single episode from Garfield and Friends and Odie doesn't speak I'm hungry 🤨

im hungry was a thought bubble. Also in the comic, he said the words Bark Bark!

[@cngz22nd]

In the comics, there have been a few times where garfield has understood Odie's barks, just as sometimes Jon reads Garfield's thoughts.

[@god-m8h]

he was thinking not talking so wrong

[@kaijufan6246]

Odie was also smart in the 3D Garfield movies like Garfield's Fun Fest when he needed to be. He solved those riddles during the journey. Odie is smarter than we give him credit for.

[@amandareeves5101]

When you think about in this movie Odie's kind of like Gromit from Wallace and Gromit.

[@shimerrill967]

Like Perry the platypus, he expresses himself differently

[@DisneycraftYT]

Kinda like Big Mac, knows the true value of talking

[@laurapatricialimamartinez862]

In fact, in the movie, they show us that the animals aren't able to speak like humans, but in this cartoonish world, humans seems to be aware of the intelligence of some animals, and that's why someone created an app that's able to translate some of the common animals when they speak, such as cats and dogs (or just for the laughs, but it works, so it doesn't matter). Edit: Why did I write this in Spanish is beyond me 😂 Sorry for that.

[@jesteronomy]

That makes sense. Because in "Garfield gets Real" Odie said "My bone"

[@jmc5661]

I always assumed it was because he was shy or something

[@Harry.Pot.Maker.1952]

People don't understand is his text was shaped like a cloud and had bubbles going from him to it that means he was thinking "im hungrey"

Odie was literally the gromiit mixed with Lisa Simpson of the movie 😅

[@FlyingDuckMan360]

There was an episode of Garfield and Friends called "Mistakes Will Happen", where Garfield and Odie watch the titular episode in response to letters they've received from viewers saying they spotted mistakes on the show. The episode is ripe with both animation and dialogue errors, all done on purpose. At one point, Garfield asks Odie, "Can you believe Pete trying to scare us like that?", to which Odie tells him, "I don't know, I'm kind of scared."

[@user-lf3vj1jw8x]

[@beauwalker9820]

There's actually an old Garfield comic strip dating back to 6-15-1980, and featured in the fourth collection book "Garfield Weighs In" where Odie briefly says something in a thought balloon. Said comic is so old, it features the mysteriously disappeared Lyman, Jon's room-mate, and Odie's original owner.

[@The_Blue_CherryXXL]

In the comic, it wasn’t a speech bubble. It was a thinking bubble.

[@thesunsetparkclown2987]

Maybe Odie only talk when Lyman is around and since Lyman went “missing “ years ago, Odie refuses to talk

[@Doyoukniwdaway]

He actually has talked another time he said my bone in the movie Garfield gets real
