Eh, looks like a rental when it comes out on DVD, but I don't see anything worth spending the money to go to a theatre to see. Sad, really, it could have been pretty good.

[ZariusTwo]

Ugh, what in god's name is THAT?

If Davis is attatched to this in any way he just turned "sell-out", this is nothing like his universe.

[J Legault]

Looks good for a trailer. i know that this would be a movie where some smart Critics would try to convense people that the movie is a flop.

But I don't judge movie from the Critics. I'm very easy going with any spin off movies.

I wounder if my aunt is going to see this movie? She's a big fan of Garfield.

[That Matt Guy]

Uh... yeah. That's Garfield.

[Dane E5R]

Hooray.

[The Defibrillator]

Wow......I guess it look's ok....hard to tell.

[Bowser_Koopa]

i think he looked better in the picture where he had sunglasses than in the actual movie, i also think that they should have made oddie in cgi too

[One Radical Dude]

Why do you judge a movie based on the way it looks alone? I did exactly that for films, like Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and Lilo & Stitch. I thought the Final Fantasy film was going to be awesome when I saw previews, but I was very disappointed when I saw the film. Before I saw Lilo, I thought., 'um...I should skip this one.' When I saw the movie on TV, my views changed. What I'm saying is that looks or a preview of something doesn't always mean that the film will be good or bad.

[Kid Icarus]

Ew.

That was NOT Garfield. They made him actually talk. =\. I'll pry see it though, just to see if it's any good.

[Cascadia]

oh gee....the cat does not have black strips

[impetus]

good casting

garfield looks ridiculous - this should be traditionally animated

[Machias Banshee]

*doesnt have QT, but...*

Use Jim's Skills, Dangit! Look at some of the treasuries he's done. A CGI Garfield just isnt the same as the good ole 2-D...

[Deathknight]

Oh dear god, are you saying there is going to be a live action Garfield movie?! AHHHHH MY EYES!!!!! God damn movie writers, how about a new idea for once in your lives?

[GK Punk]

Yeah I agree, I'd much prefer to see an animated Garfield movie to a live action CGI Feature -_-

[One Radical Dude]

After seeing the trailer, I agree. I guess they wanted to try something new.

[J Legault]

according to the cast they're using a good number of charaters from the Garfield Series. since he's been a favorite to all Sunday Comic readers.

I remenber the original Cartoon Series that ran for a few seasons.

Notice that the CGI Garfield moves his lips when the one in the comics is open minded.

[Drtooth]

As far as CGI Garfield goes, I'm more upset with the fact they DIDN't Make a CGI Odie. Where is the logic in that? It's just pointless to make garfiled CGI and not Odie.

I feel that the main problem is that. It's like on that horrid Inspector Gadget movie when they Didn't make Brain or MadCat CGI's. That would have made that sorry attempt much more bearable.

I may/maynot see this if there is anything else good in theaters. I am brutally disappointed, and peeved that they couldn't even make CGI Odie...it's so disconnected!

On the bright side,the CGI Garfield doesn't look as bad as the CGI Scooby Doo. But at least in the Scooby Doo movie they finally gave Scrappy his cumuppance...

you're not alone
...i also think that they should have made oddie in cgi too

Compared to what the new look Mighty Mouse looks like, Garfield is a saint.

[Brodie]

New Mighty Mouse?

[ZariusTwo]

Nickolodean are producing a new Mighty Mouse animated movie...

Here is the link, prepare to throw up

Doesnt work....

[Stone Ill]

Wow, that Garfield movie looks kinda cool. I might rent it.

[That Matt Guy]

:lol: Zarius got a warning.

[cqb101]

:lol: Zarius got a warning.

Are you surprised? :lol:

[ZariusTwo]

Yes, I got warned for being too sexy :roll:

[Peanut]

WHY DOES HE TALK!?! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? Also Odie is dumb. The one saving grace of that trailer...JLH......*drool*

[Stone Ill]

If you've ever known anything about Garfield is that he DOES TALK. His mouthed never moved. How else can you explain how EVERYONE ELSE undstood him?

[cqb101]

That's the problem with the movie. His mouth is moving. And actually he never talked in the comic strips. Whenever he said something it's always in a thought bubble, and not a speech bubble.

[Stone Ill]

I meant the cartoon. :lol:

[cqb101]

I meant the cartoon. :lol:

Well, his mouth never moved in the cartoon either.

[Stone Ill]

I never said that it did. :roll:

[impetus]

Actually there was a TV special (not from the series) that answered that question once and for all. In it, Grafield and the other pets in the neighborhood learn to speak to humans in order to save them from a hurricane (or earthquake or something). After it was over, they quit talking again and acted like it had never happened.

So in the toon/strip, we can assume the thoughts are understood by other characters because they understand Garfield's motives enough to guess what he is thinking.

I'll have to disagree there... JLH is no Liz. She does not look sarcastic enough to successfully pull off the role.

I think the only good point is Garfield's voice is Bill Murray... only because it's pretty interresting.

You see, Garfield was voiced by Lorenzo Music (up until his death). Bill Murray played Peter on Ghostbusters. When Ghostbusters got a cartoon series, Lorenzo Music did the voice of Bill Murray's character, Peter (I think for the first few seasons, then Dave Coulier, Joey on Full House, took over)

I think at one point, they actually had an animated Garfield movie planned (I remember Jim Talking about it in the 1988 10th Anniversary of Garfield Special) but somehow, plans fell through (Lou Rawls and Desere Goyette even wrote and performed the opening song for it on the special). Too bad... it would have been a billion times better than this....

[Dane E5R]

JLH can play a perfect bitch. Check her out in The Tuxedo.

[Valorxii]

i wish it was a cartoon

[Drtooth]

JLH can play a perfect bitch. Check her out in The Tuxedo.

Yeah.,... but Growing up with the garfield and Freinds hour, I suspect someone a little more deadpan and nasty...

[Dane E5R]

Huh. I don't ever remember seeing her on the cartoon.

[Taloniss]

Huh. I don't ever remember seeing her on the cartoon.
She was in a few of the quickies I think, but I don't think she was ever in the main show...she was in one of the 30 minute "movies" as well I think.
