Animation Garfield Animated Movie

[Loden Greatstorm]

Why couldn't Sony tell us who is playing who?

I assume this means that Nicholas Hoult is Jon, and Brett Goldstein is playing Nermal. They are really trying to subvert expectations if that's the case.

Totally agree. Bizarre we dot have the cast list by now.

Aw! I love Harvey!

I don’t know how I feel about Odie talking. Unless this is just for barks lol

 

[Silvermoth]

Can’t have a dog that doesn’t talk anymore. Because of woke.

 

[DarkKnight88]

As long as he still gets kicked off a table then lol

 

[Silvermoth]

Ha! Yeah that’s fine

 

[TheVileOne]

Aw! I love Harvey!

He's also in Disney's Wish as one of the lead character's friends.

He doesn't seem to be talking in the trailer. He's just talking in gibberish-like noises.

This looks like it will be totally decent. Pratt sounds fine as Garfield. I get that everyone has strong opinions of Pratt, but his vocal performance sounds totally appropriate here. He doesn't sound like he's phoning it in.

Also, are we really going to forget that everyone absolutely loved what he did in The LEGO Movie 10 years ago? Now suddenly everyone hates it when Pratt does voice work in animation.

I guess what I'm not too excited about is seeing an origin/backstory for Garfield, Garfield meeting his real dad and everything. Seems like his dad's boss will be the real villain. I will still give this a shot though. Nothing about this looks actively bad to me.

Yeah, Pratt’s voice actually works here.

In retrospect, I think it’s good they didn’t try for a Lorenzo Music (or Bill Murray) impersonation.

I saw the first CGI one from a few years ago with Bill Murray, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Breckin Meyer...but I don't recall being impressed very much. I loved reading the newspaper strip growing up, and the cartoons were funny...but the movie just seemed empty and pointless. I skipped on the sequel.

The trailer for the new one was a little funny, but I'm still worried it will try too hard to be "hip".

Why do movie news still feel like April Fools' these few days?

 

[Drizzle]

I misread Keith Urban as Karl Urban.

They could have just said "New looks at Garfield". Chris Pratt isn't in those pictures.

It’s time to adapt the masterpiece that is Garfield: His 9 Lives.
