Chris Pratt about Garfield

It is not just the audience who are the admirers of the old and groovy tales of Garfield. Everyone has read the comics at least once in their life, and even if not the comic strips, portraying the fun-filled adventures of the orange cat, people have surely watched its cartoon series or movies sometime during their childhood. 

However, the Moneyball actor seems to be inclined towards the newspaper “comic strips.” Amid the release of the movie, Pinkvilla exclusively learnt about Chris Pratt's nostalgic connection to Garfield.

“I remember being a kid and reading Garfield comic strips,” the 44-year-old actor stated. While recalling his young days, Pratt also mentioned that he would directly look into the “movie section,” of the newspaper whenever it would arrive. He also added that while searching for the movies that were about to be released, he would also “take out the comics – and it was always Garfield.”

About The Garfield Movie

The recently released animated film will not just talk about the orange cat, who hates Mondays, and loves lasagna but will introduce a new and important part of his life. This time, the cat who has spent most of his time indoors will step out and have a wild outdoor adventure. However, this won't be his adventure alone, as he will meet his long-lost father, a scruffy street cat named Vic. 

Garfield will also be accompanied by his canine friend Odie, together who will step away from their perfectly pampered world, and go ahead on a hilarious, high-stakes heist with Vic. 

The Garfield Movie brings together a grand cast besides Pratt and Jackson who has given his voice for Vic’s character. The other notable names in the movie include Ving Rhames, Nicholas Hoult, Hannah Waddingham, and even Snoop Dogg, who will be seen in the movie as Snoop Cat.
