Garfield, the iconic orange cat created by cartoonist Jim Davis, has left an indelible mark on generations since its debut in 1976. Initially introduced as &ldquo;Jon&rdquo; in 1976, the comic strip gained widespread recognition in 1978 when it was rebranded as &ldquo;Garfield.&rdquo;

Fast forward to 2004, the beloved feline made his way to the big screen in an American comedy film. Directed by Peter Hewitt and scripted by Joel Cohen and Alec Sokolow, the character of Garfield was brought to life through the voice talent of Bill Murray, complemented by cutting-edge computer-generated imagery. Produced by Davis Entertainment and 20th Century Fox, the film hit theaters in the United States on June 11, 2004, and earned a gross income of $208 million on a $50 million budget which indeed showed a remarkable success.

Looking ahead to May 2024, fans can eagerly anticipate the release of "The Garfield Movie." This time, the narrative unfolds with Garfield embarking on a thrilling outdoor adventure that leads to an unexpected reunion with his long-lost father. The film, directed by Mark Dindal and written by Paul A. Kaplan, Mark Torgove, and David Reynolds, promises a captivating storyline. Adding to the excitement, the voice of Garfield will be brought to life by none other than Chris Pratt.

Yet, a twist emerged as fans expressed their discontent with the choice of Chris Pratt as the voice behind the upcoming Garfield character, garnering widespread criticism. Despite Pratt's previous forays into voice acting, including notable roles in the Lego movie as well as being the voice of Mario, however, the decision faced significant backlash from the audience. The casting choice stirred a wave of dissatisfaction among fans, who voiced their concerns and reservations about Pratt taking on the iconic role of Garfield. Still, there are those who prefer Bill Murray to remain as Garfield's voice actor.

Garfield vs Oyen

Garfield, the endearingly lazy ginger-orange cat, has earned fame for his unabashed love of lasagna, contributing to his delightfully plump feline figure. This lovable character, known for his witty humour and disdain for Mondays, has been a beloved comic strip and animated icon since his debut in 1978. *Meow* 😹

In the end, even though many dislike Chris Pratt being the voice actor of Garfield, however, we are thrilled to watch the upcoming Garfield for bringing the humour of its plump feline nature with its indulgence on lasagna that we would not want to miss&hellip; ;)
If you're a big fan of Garfield, the latest movie is set to release on 24 May 2024 so save the date and while you're at it, you can also whip up a good lasagne recipe and enjoy the movie with it too!&nbsp;If you can sneak it inside the theatres. 👀
