ComingSoon's The Garfield Movie Blu-ray review takes a look at the animated film's home release, which includes some cool how-to-draw videos.
I grew up reading Garfield comics and watching the Garfield and Friends television show, so I’ve always had a soft spot for the fat feline. I also had a fun time seeing The Garfield Movie earlier this year, so it was exciting to revisitwith the release of The Garfield Movie Blu-ray. While Chris Pratt is no Lorenzo Music, he wisely doesn’t try to imitate the beloved voice actor and instead offers a surprisingly heartfelt performance that I really enjoy.
“Garfield , 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 – Garfield and his canine friend Odie are forced from their perfectly pampered life into joining Vic in a hilarious, high-stakes heist,” says the official description.
Watching it again, I was really impressed by the voice-acting performances. For example, Hoult’s Jon sounds very different than his normal speaking voice and he does a great job of making him likable. Meanwhile, I was shocked to learn that Harvey Guillén voices Odie and is making all the yips and barking noises. All the smaller parts are well cast and Ving Rhames is great as always as the bull that gets Garfield and Vic to see things straight.
The Garfield Movie Blu-ray doesn’t have a ton of bonus features that go in-depth on the film, although I’m not sure the film really needed to be dissected, but it does have a nice array of surface-level ones. There’s a four-minute video introducing the cast and their choices for the voices, a three-minute featurette going over the film’s themes, a two-minute gag reel , and a three-minute Easter egg video going over some cute hidden references.
Other bonus features include an animation progression reel that shows how much work goes into getting a scene from concept to finished product. There’s also an animatic for a deleted scene that would’ve animated Waddingham’s “I’m Back” song that plays during the credits. Finally, there are two how-to-draw videos that focus on the trio of Garfield, Odie, and Jon, and then new characters for the movie .
