Storyline

Garfield (voiced by Chris Pratt), the world-famous, Monday-hating, lasagna-loving indoor cat, is about to have a wild outdoor adventure!

Jackson) – Garfield and his canine friend Odie are forced from their perfectly pampered life into joining Vic in a hilarious, high-stakes heist.

About The Garfield Movie

The Garfield Movie is an American animated comedy film based on the comic strip Garfield created by Jim Davis. Directed by Mark Dindal from a screenplay by Paul A. Kaplan, Mark Torgove, and David Reynolds, the film stars Chris Pratt as the voice of the titular character, alongside the voices of Samuel L. Jackson, Hannah Waddingham, Ving Rhames, Nicholas Hoult, Cecily Strong, Harvey Guillén, Brett Goldstein, Bowen Yang, and Snoop Dogg.

Development on The Garfield Movie started at Alcon Entertainment in May 2016. Dindal was announced as the film’s director in November 2018, and pre-production began the following month. By 2021, Sony Pictures had already purchased the film rights for global distribution and Pratt was cast as Garfield, with the rest of the cast joining the following year.

Sony Pictures would distribute the film under its Columbia Pictures label except for China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and DNEG Animation would provide the animation. By September 2023, it was reported that the film would be entitled The Garfield Movie.

The Garfield Movie was theatrically released earlier in international markets on May 1, 2024, and later in the United States on May 24, 2024. It was previously scheduled for release domestically on February 16, 2024.

Upon the film’s May 2016 announcement, it was revealed that Alcon Entertainment intended to launch a franchise of Garfield films.
