The Garfield Movie is 8 Years Late.

Today I discussed the Garfield movie and how happy i am for another comic animated adaptation but i also get into the many problems with the Garfield movies side plots and lack of GARFIELD. But I like this movie solely for Odie. He can do no wrong.

thanks to @chillychivy435 for editing a few parts! (go check his content out, really good stuff. he also does animated movie reviews!

and another thanks to @ brodydoodles for doing the insane thumbnail art

this is the only video ever i will be THIS NEGATIVE. I LIKE BEING POSITIVE. I COULDNT HELP MYSELF
I STILL LOVE YOU GARFIELD AND JOHN ARBUCKLE

[YourLocalSquirrel]

Garfield was originally raised by his mother in an Italian restaurant. The love for lasagna sprouted from the owner feeding it to the cats every once in awhile. that’s also how he met John, so it kind of annoys me that they would get rid of that. Just makes his backstory more confusing.

I knew people were gonna make “the movie” jokes

[no-one_nobody]

The Tom Cruise joke could work by adding a sequence of Garfield failing the stunt repeatedly with phsyical comedy and then with the snarky remark like “I hope the insurance covers it” or “Next time Odie will be the stunt double” as the punchline. It could even be a blooper of Odie with a Garfield custome nailing the stunt in slow-mo or something

[Catguyanimations]

Imagine making a Cash grab with a cat voiced by Chris Pratt 8 years late

[chillychivy]

"THE MOVIE" was truly an experience to watch and thanks for crediting me I had fun editing the video :)

[liamphibia]

I have no idea why it took them THIS long to make an animated Garfield movie knowing it's simplistic concept but here we are...

10 years too late, to be precise.

Chris Pratt doesn't even like lasagna, He said that in a interview 🙂🥲

[nevercakegames]

I had so many Garfield comic books and would watch the Halloween special every year. Now he is Chris Pratt. The years start comin' and they don't stop comin'.

Another Jon Arbuckle fan? YOU ARE ONE OF US.
Jon Arbuckle is the goat.

I love “The Movie”. Such a good adaptation of “Movie” and makes its own creative twists the classic “Movie” formula

[doodleplayer]

Everything about plot and stuff aside, I really love how Garfield is modeled in 3D. Especially his baby form. It reminds me of Om Nom from the Cut the Rope games for some reason, and he just looks so fluffy.

[QOS-lmfg]

The fact it took us this long to get a full length fully animated Garfield movie (not counting those direct to dvd movies) is insane. Garfield is a character who is made for a cgi animated movie. The movie was good. To me anyway

[heitormuniz]

The impression this film gave me was that they hired several businessmen to write the most commercial and saleable story for the whole family (an illumination level thing) and then called professional screenwriters who were fans of Garfield to write the scenes and jokes based on this story

[peepeeheadlovescat]

Awesomemay is the type of guy to say “wowza!” whenever he sees an animated movie.

[fryguy]

Even if it was 8 years late, this movie was great. The Animation was great. I don’t care what people say, I laughed, I cried, it moved me Awesomemay.

If Mark Dindal decides to do a sequel, then he should focus on Jon's personal career as a cartoonist with no social skills and how Garfield and Ode have affected his career and how Vic and the mother have boosted it to heights with some shortened modern adaption of Garfield on the Town.

[kindawizard]

One idea I like more about the movie is that if Vic was actually a bad father and Garfield finds out his real family is with Jon and Odie, who are the ones that actually care for him. I know it’s corny but i feel like it would be a far more emotionally rewarding, also giving Jon more time to be a father figure

13:56 the bfdi mouth just makes it so much better😭

[RetroRulzMyTown]

Funny thing, this video sums up pretty every thought I had on the movie. Bizarrely except for Odie because he only adds to how much Garfield was screwed up with how HE actually abuses Garfield more than he does to HIM.
