The Garfield Movie is the newest animated film from Sony, though oddly released through Sony Pictures Releasing instead of Sony Pictures Animation. It follows Garfield , a lazy, gluttonous orange tabby cat who lives with his owner, Jon , and his dog, Odie . One night, Garfield gets wrapped up in the affair of his estranged father, Vic , forcing them to go on an adventure to pay off a crazed cat named Jinx .
7 Vic Played by Samuel L. Jackson Garfield's biological father, Vic, did his best to look after him when he was just a kitten. However, upon seeing how Jon could provide for Garfield better than he could, Vic decided to let Garfield get adopted and watched him from the shadows. He also got into a lot of trouble with his gang of alley cats, committing heists that always ended with Vic's compatriots taking the fall for him.
Roland and Nolan don't have enough personality to stand on their own as characters, but together, they make for a rather entertaining animated duo. Roland gets some funny visuals with his immense size and rolls of skins, while Nolan is hyperactive and has some wonderful facial animations. Most importantly, Yang and Goldstein do a good job of making them feel comedic and threatening, and the characters even get a moment of redemption near the end, bringing their story full circle.
4 Garfield Voiced by Chris Pratt One of the most iconic comic-strip characters ever made, Garfield prefers to spend his days lounging around, eating lasagna, and complaining about how much he despises Mondays. Unfortunately, he gets pulled from his life of luxury by one of his father's old associates looking for revenge. Now, he's forced to work alongside Vic to steal an entire truck's worth of milk and maybe start to view his father in a more positive light.
Although not a very complicated villain, Jinx is one of the most entertaining original characters in the film. This is mainly due to Waddingham's performance: she goes all out chewing the scenery during her limited screen time, especially when she switches between false kindness and unhinged fury. The animators also play around with her jewelry, making it change colors depending on her emotional state, which helps to accentuate her extreme mood swings.
