The Garfield Movie is an upcoming 2024 animated comedy film based upon the iconic, long running comic strip by Jim Davis. It is directed by Mark Dindal and stars Chris Pratt as Garfield, Nicholas Hoult as Jon, Harvey Guillén as Odie, and Samuel L. Jackson as Garfield's father, Vic. Also starring are Cecily Strong, Ving Rhames, Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Bowen Yang, and Snoop Dogg. DNEG provides the animation (and also co-produced the film as it's DNEG Animation's 4th feature film).The film follows the beloved lasagna-loving, Monday-despising, dog-kicking orange cat as his perfect world is turned upside down by a chance encounter with his long-lost father, Vic. The film will release May 24, 2024. Not to be confused with the live-action/animation hybrid version released twenty years earlier, which was marketed as Garfield: The Movie.Previews: Trailer 1, Trailer 2, Trailer 3 | |

Canon Foreigner | |
| The Garfield Movie / int_113480b7 | comment |
Canon Foreigner: Garfield's father never appeared, or was ever even mentioned, in the comic strip (save for a single mention of Garfield coming from "a long line of bachelors" on August 20, 1979) or any adaptations prior (save for Garfield's grandfather bringing him up in "Garfield on the Town"). Only in a few pieces of Father's Day merchandise did a framed photo of him appear, and he looks completely different from how he looks in the trailer. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| The Garfield Movie / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: When the younger Garfield runs across the street to see Jon for the first time, he passes a shop called "Lorenzo's Music Store", named after Lorenzo Music, who famously voiced Garfield in the TV specials and Garfield and Friends. Vic resembles a modernized version of Garfield's original design from the beginning of the comic strips. The scene of Jon bathing Garfield is reminiscent of the September 5, 1978 strip, where Jon is also seen wearing a helmet and gloves while giving him a bath. Likewise the follow-up comic has Jon dry up Garfield, which results in Garfield being all fluffed up, much like in the movie. In the second trailer, Jon can be seen with a bowl of Binky O's cereal, with Binky the Clown prominently displayed on the box art. In the second trailer, immediately after Garfield is blown into a house by a strong wind, he gets thrown through a window just like in the infamous March 29, 1981 strip. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
| The Garfield Movie / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: In terms of the animation — unlike most previous CGI adaptations, which generally used exactly the same designs as the comics without any regard for the fact that they weren't made with 3D in mind, the film subtly adjusts the characters' proportions and design elements, particularly the look of their Conjoined Eyes, in the interest of making them more expressive and appealing. | |

Hates Their Parent: In the trailers, when Garfield introduces Odie to his father, Vic, there is audible and visible disdain in the tone of his voice and body language. The second trailer implies that this is due to Vic never returning to Garfieldnote who, mind you, is still a kitten at that time despite his promise to "be right back", and later on in it, Garfield gives a disdained "YOUUUUUU" after he removes the cloak covering Vic and recognizes him. | |

You Don't Look Like You | |
| The Garfield Movie / int_a4e3759e | comment |
You Don't Look Like You: Garfield's father actually isn't an original character, but was rather exclusive to merchandise before the film shot him to prominence. However, there are very big differences between the merch version and Vic from the films; the merch version has grey fur, a body type shared with his son's 1980 design, and given how a picture of him was held by Garfield is generally well-regarded by his son. Vic, by contrast, uses a faded version of Garfield's color scheme, and not only is he twice the size of his son, but he has a top-heavy build, his head is basically neckless and his arms are far burlier than Garfield's own. Garfield's introduction of him also makes it clear that, unlike the merch version, Vic is not seen in a positive light. | |
