The world premiere of “The Garfield Movie” in Los Angeles was a star-studded event filled with excitement and anticipation. Stepping into the spotlight at the TLC Chinese Theater, Chris Pratt, the voice of Garfield, turned heads in a custom Paul Smith suit and sunglasses, paying homage to the iconic feline’s signature orange hue. The choice of attire was a perfect blend of style and charm, highlighting the film’s fusion of classic characters and modern flair.

As the night unfolded, it was evident that the legacy of Garfield and his creator, Jim Davis, was in good hands. The attendees couldn’t help but reminisce about Davis’ early days of dreaming on the Walk of Fame, hoping for his time to shine. Now, with “The Garfield Movie” set to release on May 24, that dream has become a reality, and Davis’ star-shaped monument sits proudly outside the very theater that hosted the premiere.

Speaking of stars, the cast of “The Garfield Movie” is a force to be reckoned with. Alongside Pratt, the film features the talents of Hannah Waddingham, Ving Rhames, Cecily Strong, and Samuel L. Jackson. With this star-studded ensemble, the movie promises to bring our favorite lasagna-loving cat to life in ways we’ve never seen before.


Director Mark Dindal expressed his unwavering confidence in Pratt’s ability to embody Garfield, stating that he had envisioned the actor’s voice as the titular character for years.


Pratt, who initially drew comparisons between Garfield and his character Andy Dwyer from the popular sitcom “Parks and Recreation,” embraced the challenge and delivered a performance that encapsulates the feline’s iconic wit and charm.

Playing the villain once again, Waddingham shines as Jinx, a character she describes as “completely unapologetic.” The freedom director Mark Dindal gave her to explore the character’s depth and comedic timing is evident in her portrayal, making it clear that she had a blast bringing Jinx to life.


“The Garfield Movie” is set to hit theaters on May 24, promising a delightful and entertaining experience for fans of all ages.

As audiences eagerly await the film’s release, one thing is certain: with a star-studded cast, iconic characters, and a talented creative team, this feline extravaganza is poised to make a memorable mark on the big screen.
