Garfield fans, start preparing the lasagna. The new animated adventure Garfield: The Movie, starring everyone’s favourite orange fat cat, will premiere in theatres on February 16, 2024.
Chris Pratt plays the voice of the sluggish cat in the movie. Samuel L. Jackson will play Vic, who is Garfield’s father, in the movie Garfield. The movie’s plot is presently a secret, but we can only hope that it does better than the live-action Garfield movie from 2004.
Jim Davis’ comic strip “Garfield” first appeared in 1978. He is well known for his aversion to Mondays and his love of lasagna. His owner Jon and his dog Odie are also featured in the comics. Bill Murray once provided the voice for the well-known cat.
The movie was initially announced back in 2016, but it took a while for new information to surface. It was revealed in November of last year that Pratt would be lending his voice to the feline icon. Shortly after it was revealed Pratt would also be lending his voice to Mario in an animated movie, the news surfaced.
Jackson joined the cast earlier this year to play Garfield’s father. The first piece of Garfield media to feature his father will be this. Numerous members of his family, including aunts and grandparents, have been referenced over the run of the comics, but never his father. Recently, Garfield was spotted in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. He was unveiled as the first DLC character for the game in late 2016.
Mark Dindal, who also directed The Emperor’s New Groove and Chicken Little, is in charge of directing the picture. David Reynolds, who collaborated with Dindal as a writer on The Emperor’s New Groove and also penned Finding Nemo, created the script for Garfield.
