Bear in mind all of the uproar when it was introduced that Chris Pratt had been forged because the voice of Mario in The Tremendous Mario Bros Film? He’s not Italian! He’s in all probability not even a plumber! I demand an equally outraged response to this information: Chris Pratt is the voice of Garfield in his new CGI animated film, The Garfield Film. Chris Pratt isn‘t even a cat! That is absurd.
Prior to now, Jim Davis’ inexplicably long-running cartoon impressed TV cartoons, together with two live-action/animated hybrid motion pictures from the 2000s that featured Invoice Murray because the voice of Garfield. (One in every of them was referred to as Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties, which I’m writing right here purely as a result of it’s hilarious to put in writing A Tail of Two Kitties in any context.) This film is absolutely animated — and apparently it comes from the director (Mark Dindal) and author (David Reynolds) of The Emperor’s New Groove, which needs to be within the dialog for the funniest Disney animated film ever. So whereas a Garfield film (that includes non-cat Chris Pratt?!?) doesn’t precisely blow me away, the considered the New Groove guys getting again collectively positively will get my consideration.
That stated, I might not have essentially sensed they had been concerned from the trailer, which is usually about cute Garfield as a child consuming issues, after which later grownup Garfield stepping into an journey together with his father (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson, additionally not a cat).

Once more, not as Emperor’s New Groove-y as I would love, however at the least the animation model does evoke the Davis cartoons in a delightful method. Perhaps it’ll outperform the trailer? I hope so.
Right here is the movie’s official synopsis:
Garfield (voiced by Chris Pratt), the world-famous, Monday-hating, lasagna-loving indoor cat, is about to have a wild out of doors journey! After an surprising reunion together with his long-lost father – scruffy road cat Vic (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson) – Garfield and his canine good friend Odie are pressured from their completely pampered life into becoming a member of Vic in a hilarious, high-stakes heist.
The Garfield Film is scheduled to open in theaters on Might 24, 2024.
