The lovable, always-hungry orange cat is finally returning to the big screen in The Garfield Movie. Columbia Pictures and Alcon Entertainment have released the first trailer for the animated comedy, which will be coming out this summer. The film is directed by Mark Dindal and written by Paul A. Kaplan, Mark Torgrove, and David Reynolds. Jim Davis, the creator of everyone’s favorite comic strip, cat, is also on board as the film’s art director and executive producer. 

What’s The Lasagna Loving Cat Up To Now?

The movie’s official synopsis reads: “Garfield, the world-famous, Monday-hating, lasagna-loving indoor cat, is about to have a wild outdoor adventure. After an unexpected reunion with his long-lost father – scruffy street cat Vic – Garfield and his canine friend Odie are forced from their perfectly pampered life into joining Vic in a hilarious, high-stakes heist.” Based on the trailer, viewers will also be getting a little introduction on how Garfield gets adopted by Jon, or rather, how Garfield “adopted Jon” as he puts it. The heartwarming sequence shown in the trailer is only amplified by the animation style. It looks like it’s going to be a fun, wacky film for fans and newcomers alike while still maintaining the charm that made Garfield so popular in the first place. So get ready for a wild ride (and lots of food, of course).
