The Garfield Movie Review | If Mondays were a Movie

Фильм және анимация

Garfield is back with a new movie and is now fully animated with The Garfield Movie. As a long-time fan of the fat feline, I am curious to see how he does with his new animated movie. However, you’ll see in this review that Garfield’s big animated feature feels more like I’m experiencing Mondays than a fun adventure.

Maybe one Monday you get hit by a car, the next Monday your water heater breaks and destroys a huge part of your house, the next Monday you get sued for playing music on your headphones to loud, the next the pizza you ordered shows up cold and moldy and the delivery person instead of apologizing just straight up punches you and leaves etc. That's basically what happens to Garfield every Monday and if that happened to you then you would hate Monday's too.

    I think the thing about Garfield is that he is such a simplistic character that trying to make him bigger, or putting him in big situations, works against him. He was a 2d character in a simple, repetitive comic strip. I think the original specials and cartoon series worked because they still kept it fairly simple, almost mellow at times.

The framing device I came up with was that Jon was stuck in a traffic jam, and Garfield got hungry and expected lasagna when Jon got home. Now that Jon is possibly hours away and Garfield is still hungry, he decides to take matters into his own paws and ransack Muncie for ingredients and utensils. Each item on his "shopping list" is its own sketch.

    I just find it too bad that Lorenzo music died in 2001 as he was indeed the best Garfield and will never be replaced. For me the 2004-2006 Garfield movies failed because to me they overall weren't very funny and also insult the source material by being lazy with character design and writing all round. Being a fan of Garfield I'm still going to check this out as it does seem funny to me and I am a big Garfield fan the issue I see here for me that bogs down this movie as well as the previous so called live action movies is the simplicity of putting an unnecessary throw in your face villain which I don't believe Garfield ever was about as his snarky attitude was always what sold him and what carried him through all these years. I think the reason why Chris Pratt was chosen as the voice of Garfield was not just for being a big time celebrity which can be selling reason but also because no joke he has done 10 straight consecutive years(2014-2024)of nothing but blockbuster succeses one after another after another and getting numerous accolades for all of them so I feel everybody involved in the making of the movie felt it was an ace in the hole and no brainer decision to have Chris Pratt play the lead role as that much success is really hard to ignore or turn down

    Sure it may be one of the weaker Sony animated films in recent years, but at least it's a step up from the live action or direct dvd adaptions. Personally, I say The Garfield Movie is on the same level as Smurfs The Lost Village, yes it does the simplest job of playing it safe for little kids and sometimes doesn't do anything innovated as the source material. However, they do stay true to their original creators' vision and artistic value so in the end a harmless movie is better than a more memorable bad movie at that. Overall, I am beyond happy that director Mark Dindal was able to start and complete a project 19 years later!! We all miss his sense for comedic stories 😌😌😌

    I still plan on seeing it in theaters anyway. But I'm just happy to see Mark Dindal making a comeback after nearly two decades of absence since Chicken Little. Though it sucks that this film is not getting a good reception so far. I guess it's either just regrowing pains for Dindal since he's been gone for so long or just another Chicken Little situation where the film's problems were mostly caused by executive meddling. What do you guys think?

    Huh. Looks like Mark Dindal's critical curse is not broken. A little better than "Chicken Little", but still, with this review, I might say that Mark Dindal is kinda cursed. But then again, as I said many times, and I'm sure that AniMat knows it too, "Chicken Little" did save the Walt Disney Company. So that's something.

    ❤️💖 Plus, this isn't the first time that Garfield try his attempt to make his own theatrical movie? No not the crappy live action films starring Bill Murray. No it was planned way back in the late 80s and early 90s. It was called Garfield's Judgement Day. It would bee made and released maybe around the late 80s and early 90s. Jim Davis wanted this special to be one of the best Garfield specials, involving much more serious themes than previous specials based on the brand, namely involving a tornado destroying his hometown. Interestingly, Disney was the studio working on it. The special went through scripting and was fully story-boarded. All of the voice acting, several songs, and an estimated 15 minutes worth of animation were completed before Disney cancelled the special, feeling the subject matter was far too dark and depressing for a Garfield cartoon. Davis tried to script the special two more times, but the studio showed no interest both times. The story was eventually incorporated into a Garfield picture book of the same name in July 1990. A documentary titled Happy Birthday Garfield that aired on CBS in 1988 featured a "sneak preview" of the special. Aside from this, no other footage of the film has been seen. I don't get why they cancelled it just because it was too dark for kids. Come on, kids and adults can handled dark themes in animated films and way back in the 1980s and 1990s animated films weren't afraid to be dark and mature and they can be good and be box office hits. To this day, I still wished we could have gotten that movie version of Garfield's Judgement Day. It makes me wished that this Garfield Movie could have recycled ♻️ elements from Judgement Day instead of playing it too safe. I personally hated when animated films being way too safe for kids. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the Garfield and I have yet to see it but still wished it could have been better. 🐱🐶🌪 😃😀😄😁😊😉 👍🏻 💖❤️

Intars Busulis, who represented Latvia in 2009, stars in the Latvian dub, last year's runner-up Käärijä stars in the Finnish dub, and last but not least, this year's runner-up Baby Lasagna stars in the Croatian dub. That last one felt quite inevitable, me thinks.

    I think all the modern movies and shows and culture are playing safe and ruined all because of one thing. Children, children ruin everything, so much so that everything like celebrities memes out dated references representation and morals are forced and repeated because of them. And Garfield (2024) is a good example of that, instead of getting Frank Welker to reprise his role as the orange, the filmmakers decided that Chris Patt should that spot.
