Hatebox Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I saw someone on Twitter saying Chris Pratt was Garfield and thought it was a joke after all the Mario casting fanfare but no, he is actually Garfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 It looks very cheap. Surprised that Sony are releasing it because Paramount now owns Garfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the budget will be low which is smart. They know their audience is little kids who won't care about good animation. Just like how Paw Patrol movies look like cheap trash, but it's main audience is elementary kids so whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emoviefan Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Yeah this looks like a animated movie that will be released in theaters. That's all I got. Me I will be seeing Apes or Furiosa which ever one of those two sticks to that MD weekend next year. Will say Pratt's voice fits Garfield more than it ever did Mario.

Mojoguy Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Emotional opening scene followed by a bunch of Illumination comedy hijinks. Shouldn't be surprising. Sony isn't Pixar, but we shouldn't have expected anything more with Garfield staring Pratt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMisfits Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I think the most genius part of the trailer was telling pet owners their cats and dogs could be featured in the movie's campaign over the next 6 months. Getting kids and pet owners involved in submitting videos that might show up everywhere is gonna get them invested in the film. It's like SLOP, but with their own pets. Give whoever came up with that campaign a promotion and raise, b/c it's another genius new way to reach GA viewers. I see a Super Bowl ad with the 1st set of pets and then asking for more... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one cat who is basically a black Garfield, another who has Garfield colors and diva attitude but is a tiny cat, another who definitely has the grey Garfield attitude down the best (she’s chunky) but is camera shy, and the fourth one likely will know something is up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, this would be an easy 2nd weekend Mother's Day sell...open early in May and roll through the weeks as schools get out... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it can finish early enough since I doubt that KFP4 makes March, could swap spots with Ghostbusters, to benefit from Easter and the first kids movie since Wonka and Migration.

Mojoguy Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 This will be the perfect way for parents to keep their little kids occupied at a theater for an afternoon, and perfect movie on dvd to babysit toddlers while adults trying to relax at home for years to come. Zero crossover audience with adults like Mario though. Very little nostalgia appeal IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngstar Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 This looks like a high quality version of the Garfield show. idk. I mean I watched that show a lot as a kid, but I kinda have 0 interest in it now. This is the Garfield show: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
