There Is TOO MUCH Garfield Stuff...

I am being completely bombarded with Garfield marketing at the moment. And I suspect so are you. Something about the Chris Pratt Garfield formula has social media managers running rampant - it's even reached our cheese! But Garfield as a brand has been quite a tumultuous IP, that isn't new to the big screen either. And with the movie coming out in just a few more days, let's contribute to some of the marketing ourselves by looking through the weird experiences this cat has gone through. Learning about the history of Garfield. Because after everything, I've been thinking to myself: How Did The Garfield Franchise End Up Here...

It's almost hard to believe that modern Garfield is the same character as the one from the 1980s TV specials, especially the Christmas one. Those are so charming.

[@joeybaseball7352]

It's the same IP. But they're different canons. Like all the different batmans. Same character, but different takes and portrayals on the character.

[@CinnamonGrrlErin1]

​@joeybaseball7352 I get that, but modern Garfield feels way more removed from its origin than other IPs, probably because he was never intended to be anything more than a 2-dimensional comic strip character that sold a ton of merchandise. I don't think trying to make him a more fleshed out character works for Garfield, because he was never meant to be on the same level as something like Peanuts or Calvin and Hobbes.

Nobody can replace Lorenzo Music as Garfield. He really brought Garfield’s snarky voice and catty demeanor to life in both the show and the television specials.

[@joeybaseball7352]

I agree. But unfortunately Lorenzo Music passed away 23 years ago. So there's no choice but to replace Garfield. Now I could understand getting up in arms if Lorenzo Music was still alive, and well to do voice Garfield, and they passed him up, to get a big name celebrity like Bill Murray or Chris Pratt to do the voice instead. That would be messed up. Like having Harry Styles voicing Spongebob, instead of Tom Kenny.

[@slothy387pooh6]

I'd argue that Frank Welker had the truest voice as he was more in character and sounded the most like garfield would sound. It's done like Lorenzo's in great honor and he has done all the shows since 2007, 17 years. Just like Lorenzo, 20 years. Both great legends. Chris Pratt can eat demolished house dust, he's not Garfield

[@joeybaseball7352]

@@slothy387pooh6 Welker's Garfield was always off. He was doing a bad Lorenzo Music impression. I would rather they do something new with the voice, than try to copy Lorenzo Music's iconic voice. He was a legend. Nobody can do him. So don't try. The Garfield Movie was great, so it worked.

@@joeybaseball7352 you're probably over 35 years old, mostly likely biased from that part. To each their own but to say Frank Welker was off is an insult to his work. You didn't watch the shows since 2007💀 and hold your heart dear to a man with a low voice and crappy audio for the times. Sorry, I prefer for my garfield to actually have character and move his lips so he can reciprocate breaking the fourth wall better. No one is copying Lorenzo's old voice. He simply did better and will always be the true garfield as he had the best mannerisms and attitude for it. He gave what garfield needed, an audience to all but true to the origins. Be mad

[@CejaStudios]

I just [OBTAINED FOR LEGAL MEANS]-ed it, but aside from pacing, Garf jr and senior we're insufferable to listen to bicker, the plot seemed WAAYY to convoluted and big for a movie about a lazy obese cat, and even with maybe a few oke and even heartwarming scenes (im talking about the tree scene. I liked the tree scene) its not enough to save an already mediocre comedy. 6/10, not enough Jon.

Knowing Mark Dindal (the director of the Emperor’s Groove) is directing this gives me hope. It’s his first movie in almost 20 years!

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

How the hell did I not hear this before? Was wondering if he was doing anything.

[@heathinvaderstudios]

Scott Beach only voiced Garfield once in 1980, for a TV Special celebrating comic strip characters, and hosted by Goldie Hawn. Lorenzo Music voiced Garfield from 1982 all the way until his passing in 2001, and his voice is considered by many to be the definitive Garfield voice. Frank Welker voiced the titular cat from Garfield Gets Real onward, and it’s odd that they didn’t just cast him for this new film as his voice was in many a feature length film before. The Bill Murray Garfield films are so bad they’re good for me. Bill Murray did great with what he was given to work with, but the writing still could’ve been better, mostly with the first one (it basically comes across as an elongated retelling of Here Comes Garfield). I think Chris Pratt might sound more like Garfield if the sound engineers had enough insight to lower the pitch of Chris’s voice recordings for it a semitone or two?

[@halfwhiteNnerdy]

Thank you! When he said that, I just knew it was't quite right. Lorenzo Music is the iconic voice folks think of. I used to use a garfield alarm clock that said in Mr. Music's voice (loudly), "No, stay in bed. Sleep longer" when you hit the snooze button. Edited to say instead of "wrong" to "not quite right" since he had the name of someone who did technically do the voice but not the main, iconic actor. Mistakes happen :)

[@joeybaseball7352]

They weren't trying to get Chris Pratt to sound like the Lorenzo Music Garfield. This is a completely different canon. There really is no Garfield canon. The comic strip version of Garfield, is different from the Lorenzo Music version, is different from the Bill Murray version, is different from the Frank Welker version, is different from the Chris Pratt version. Just like all the different batmans.

[@georgeheaps4944]

[@spencerpetunia8268]

A Tale of Two Kitties was ORIGINALLY going to involve Garfield going to US Acres (Garfield's sister IP with the talking farm animals that was the middle segment in Garfield and Friends), however at the time of the 2nd movie's conception Howard Morris (Wade's VA) was dying of heart failure and Thom Huge (Roy's VA) had completely retired shortly after Lorenzo Music's death in 2001. Hence why they took the "Garfield hangs out with an eclectic bunch of farm animals" plot element and instead reworked it into the final plotline of Garfield getting switched with a noble cat whose estate has a farm on it. I can understand why the filmmakers decided to do what they did in the mid-2000s, but...now it's 2024, the still-alive-and-working Frank Welker who replaced Music as Garfield in turn got replaced with Chris Pratt for this movie, and from what I've heard from people who've seen this movie US Acres' entire existence is ignored in it, even though 1) one of the plot elements is literally GARFIELD GOING TO A FARM, 2) it's been nearly 20 years since Morris died, so giving Wade a new VA (and giving Roy a new VA as well, since Huge is still retired) wouldn't be as offensive as it would've been in 2004, and 3) again, FRANK WELKER IS STILL ALIVE AND WORKING AND GARFIELD GOT RECAST WITH CHRIS PRATT FOR THIS MOVIE ANYWAY. I'm sorry, I'm a US Acres fan who's just a tiny bit sore that pretty much every opportunity to have US Acres included in a major Garfield adaptation this century has somehow fallen out of the possibility of happening every single time. And it's honestly sad to see the IP fail to make the big-time over and over and OVER again, especially once you consider that Jim Davis created at least the original idea of US Acres (he worked with the most major artists at PAWS, Inc. to come up with at least the character designs) from a genuine desire to improve the world of comics and cartoons (in this case, so Jim's then school-aged son would be able to easily understand a comic in the newspaper) as opposed to his having created Garfield chiefly to make tons of money.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

I'm Canadian and have not seen much outside of two trailers. And of course, this is on brand for Garfield.

[@user-wx8zv8zm3j]

I watched it yesterday. It is not a bad movie. The plot... yeah, that is maybe a little bit too predictable. But a lot of good action scenes and funny stuff and great animation. But on the other hand it is like with "The Fall Guy" movie: If you think about who Colt Seavers really is (in the original show) you ask yourself "What is this? This guy in the movie is not Colt Seavers. This movie is not 'The Fall Guy'.". To put it in different words: The Garfield in the new movie is not the Garfield from the strips or the first show. And this new version... It is like Sony tried to do a Pixar movie with Garfield in it.

[@ForkyandAnyaFan2009RESOR-ep8cr]

Garfield is just about to make history. His marketing campaign is just nothing but give me now a lot of promotion of how the movie is almost here and it collapsed with every single apartment object that they had to make Garfield like a popcorn bucket A Garfield chair and pretty soon every single apartment object. He even tried to make fun of every studios with his parody posters out of every movie that is from 2024 but the most weirdest part is that Inside Out 2 and Sonic Movie 3 are the only survival movies that did not get parody by Garfield. This Chris Pratt fat lazy ass cat is about to make history with ALL of these things he did!
