Most actors are fortunate in the event that they get to play one iconic character identified by mainly each human being on Earth. Chris Pratt already has Mario from Tremendous Mario Bros. beneath his belt, and now he’s including the world’s most well-known lasagna-eating cat Garfield to his resume. In order for you an enormous identify actor to play a extremely well-known character in an animated film primarily based on one thing else, you get Pratt.
This new animated Garfield film — the final franchise primarily based on the long-running sketch was a live-action / animation hybrid, with Invoice Murray offering Garfield’s voice — options Pratt and a surprisingly good voice solid, together with Hannah Waddingham, Ving Rhames, Nicholas Hoult, Cecily Robust, Harvey Guillén, Brett Goldstein, Bowen Yang, Snoop Dogg (as a cat, tee hee) and, of all folks, Samuel L. Jackson as Garfield’s vagabond cat thief father.
Please don’t ask me if Garfield canonically has a vagabond cat thief dad or if that’s one thing they invented for this film. I actually have no idea. I actually don’t wish to know! Let’s check out The Garfield Film trailer…

I do know folks had been initially upset about Pratt’s casting in The Tremendous Mario Bros. Film as a result of he was not Italian and actually didn’t sound like Mario’s signature voice from the sport (supplied for a few years by Charles Martinet). I hope these people are equally outraged right here. Pratt isn’t even a cat!
Right here is The Garfield Film’s official synopsis:
Garfield (voiced by Chris Pratt), the world-famous, Monday-hating, lasagna-loving indoor cat, is about to have a wild outside journey! After an surprising reunion together with his long-lost father – scruffy road cat Vic (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson) – Garfield and his canine pal 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.
