My all-time favorite cartoon character is Jim Davis’ lasagna loving last cat Garfield. The monotone cat has been bringing the laughs in newspapers, books, comics, cartoons and everything in between since his debut in 1976. In 2004 he hit the big screen in the first of two live action features, but now he is finally getting the animated treatment with the feature aptly titled The Garfield Movie. The film features an impressive voice cast including Chris Pratt, Samuel L. Jackson, Hannah Waddingham, Ving Rhames, Nicholas Hoult, Cecily Strong, Harvey Guillén, Brett Goldstein, and Bowen Yang from Emperor’s New Groove and Chicken Little director Mark Dindal.

 

Garfield follows the world-famous, Monday-hating, lasagna-loving indoor cat, is about to have a wild outdoor adventure! After an unexpected reunion with his long-lost father – scruffy street cat Vic, Garfield and his canine friend Odie are forced from their perfectly pampered life into joining Vic in a hilarious, high-stakes heist.

 

While you will have to wait until Memorial Day to check to see the fat cat on the big screen, you can check out the all-new trailer and poster here now from Sony.
