The Garfield Movie is set to come out this Memorial Day weekend, and we have a new trailer featuring Pratt’s Garfield as well as a new character in the form of Vic—Garfield’s rough and tumble street cat dad (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson).

Check out the latest trailer:

Garfield (voiced by Chris Pratt), 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 (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson) – Garfield and his canine friend Odie are forced from their perfectly pampered life into joining Vic in a hilarious, high-stakes heist.

The last big cinematic attempts with Garfield were back in the ‘00s with Bill Murray voicing the cat for a live-action film, but now Sony is embracing the original comic format and delivering a wholly animated movie.

A lot of fans have been able to point out certain gags that originated in the comics, but it’s going to be interesting to see just how they’ll tackle Garfield’s arc of learning how to be a street cat, despite being famously a lazy house cat who loves Italian food and hates Mondays even if he doesn’t have a job.

The Garfield Movie comes to cinemas on the Memorial Day Weekend.

Here’s the official description for the film:

Garfield (voiced by Chris Pratt), 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 (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson) – Garfield and his canine friend Odie are forced from their perfectly pampered life into joining Vic in a hilarious, high-stakes heist.

Besides Pratt and Jackson, the film’s cast also includes Nicholas Hoult (The Great), Harvey Guillen (Puss in Boots: The Last Wish) and Ted Lasso stars Hannah Waddingham and Brett Goldstein.

By the time this film comes out, it would have been 20 years since the last Garfield movie released. Back in 2004, there was an attempt to bring Garfield to live action with Bill Murray voicing the lazy cat. The film was successful enough to earn a sequel, but it never quite got the same kind of hold on pop-culture that Alvin and the Chipmunks or The Smurfs did when those movies came out.

With the success of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and Across the Spider-Verse, maybe Garfield can find new legs with an animated reboot.

Catch The Garfield Movie when it hits cinemas on May 24, 2024.
