The Garfield Movie was released earlier this year based on the comic strip Garfield. It was directed by Mark Dindal with Chris Pratt as the voice of the titular character alongside a dynamic voice cast comprising Samuel L. Jackson, Hannah Waddingham, Ving Rhames, Nicholas Hoult, Cecily Strong, Harvey Guillén, Brett Goldstein, Bowen Yang, and Snoop Dogg.
