Some of my favorite movies from back when I was a kid are Garfield The Movie and Garfield A Tale of Two Kitties. For what they are, they're genuinely decent flicks, and I've always felt they are way underrated. Bill Murray as the voice of a fat orange CGI cat could not be more perfect, and the humor and charm of those movies still hold up today. The silly misadventures of Garfield and Odie bring a smile to my face, and the movies appropriately maintain the spirit of the comics with fun twists and turns along the way. If you're looking for something family friendly to watch that both parents and children alike can enjoy, I'd certainly recommend either Garfield.

Now in 2024, we're apparently getting a new Garfield movie and I'm stoked for it. It's called The Garfield Movie and it's set to hit theatres exclusively come Memorial Day weekend. Chris Pratt is the new voice of Garfield, and that works for me. He fits the part, it seems. Also in the movie is the voice of Samuel L. Jackson, and even Snoop Dogg has a small part! I predict this film will either be wildly successful or it will fail miserably, but I'm hopeful it will be just as cool as the live-action films. That's the big difference here, though, as this new one is animated.
