They did something similar where they didn't bring back any of the original cast for the "Scoob!" movie from a few years ago. Couldn't believe my ears when I heard anyone but Frank Welker voice acting Fred.
We're never criticizing the animators themselves, because no one chooses to create a soulless corporate melange. No one sets out to make the worst art that they can. When art sucks it's a matter of resources, management, or direction. At this level of animation, the animators are at the top of their field and they're still just trying to get by. I'm glad YMS brings that up when talking about bad animations.
Nah. "Artists" aren't the special, magical creatures some people think they are. Animating is like any other job, and people phone it in or don't try very hard all the time. Artists need to get over themselves and realize that they aren't any better than other workers just because they make pretty pictures sometimes.
@@Abcdefg-tf7cu Wow, you're so cynical and cool. I've met a lot of animators and people in the creative industry. They're some of the most passionate people I've ever met when it comes to their profession. Sure, it's not true 100% of the time, but 9 times out of 10, the animation is subpar because the execs wanted to save money.
@@kiwipie9415 I'm sorry if my original comment came off as rude. I don't doubt that your friends are passionate about their careers. My point still stands that it is still a job, and plenty of people can and will phone it in when the execs straught up tell them that they are making an assembly line product with as little budet as necessary. Workers have every incentive to phone it in when they are told something like that, and artists are workers like everyone else. You can't tell me that the same level of effort and passion was put into Garfield starring Chris Pratt as was put into The Prince of Egypt or The Lion King.
@@kiwipie9415 I'm siding with the animators, here. They have no incentive to waste their talent if the executives don't pay them enough to try. If a company refuses to pay me what I'm worth, I have no reason to do anything more than the bare minimum.
Yeah I don’t think it’s AI but you hear it in trailers all the time. It’ll show a scene where a character says something that they clearly didn’t say in that particular scene (or just not at that one moment) so they’ll just edit it together and it sounds weird af
@@vingasoline5068 yeah, I don’t think it’s AI here either, but the fact that they couldn’t get a clean take of ****ing “Garfield” to use is kind of hilarious
My least favorite part of this is how they make Garfield seem so enthusiastic and happy. His whole thing is being grumpy and lazy. But in this he seems really happy all the time, and is rarely half-lidded like he is 90% of the time in the comics.
@@CaptLuserditto, not sure if i'm gonna bother to watch it. However, even if the bar is below ground level, it's probably going to be one of the better Garfield movies.
Same, I had a few albums of the three panel comics all bunched together. I really liked them and still do. Miss me with anything Garfield related that's not the comics though. Anything else of the IP, be it games, movies, merch, always felt cheap/exploitative.
I'm someone who actually enjoys Garfield and this movie looks so bad. Chris Pratt just isn't a good choice for Garfield, and this plot is all over the place.
The plot line of Garfield's family is so clearly just forced in because Garfield is too simple of a character to do anything actually interesting with so they have to shoehorn in a random adventure story that would never happen in the original comic strip or TV shows.
I think this is showing the trouble with adapting a small comic strip. If you took a panel from a Garfeild Comic Strip and blow it up to the size of a movie screen, it would look like one of these shots. But the Garfeild comic is designed to be printed the size of a postage stamp.
@@goosegas2087 if I had to guess, it would be because it’s TV shorts format. Think about it, most episodes are spilt into 3 shorts of about 7 minutes, and that kind of timeframe naturally makes small, simple stories. When comparing a 3 panel comic strip to a casual TV shorts show, it’s easy to see the similarities in their storytelling and stakes.
"Does anyone like Garfield?" I do. That one comic strip of Garfield stealing Jon's pipe and smoking it, it... it was truly eye-opening. A CAT smoking a PIPE? It was surrealist comedy at it's finest. Its simplicity is what gives it its flavor, its charm. In a mere three panels, they established a scenario perfectly, set up a joke, and ended with a killer punchline. The CAT smokes a PIPE. The execution was so sharp, so simple, but so perfect. As soon as I saw that fat cat smoke a pipe, I busted my gut laughing. I haven't been happy in five years, but then that absolute zinger appears, and I was truly in stitches. THE CAT SMOKES A PIPE.
Ive read a handful of Garfield compilation comics. I like Garfield. I wouldnt call myself like a fan per say but it was a good time. I unironically enjoyed it. I also enjoy all the memey stuff like Gorefield and Lasagna Cat
I will go on the record that I like the Garfield comics from when he could walk until just before his eyes became complete ovals. That sweet spot was the perfect time for me to be into the franchise. I am also an unapologetic fan of the "Garfield Christmas Special" and nostalgically enjoy the "Garfield and Friends" cartoon. Neither this nor the Bill Murray movie look appealing to me, to say the least.
This is a real Monday but I love lasagna. I live in Garfield city and I love Garfield for the ironic sense, but it has looped around to genuine appreciation. It helps being around Garfield way more than the average person day to day
I'll have Adum know that i am one of the few people out there that loves Garfield and thinks he's a national treasure. But that kind of only goes for the comic strip, Garfield's brand of humour has never really worked for a full length film
1:38 I liked Garfield and Friends show because I enjoyed watching some cartoon episodes back then. It’s the only 90’s nostalgia show that it felt like a cool Garfield goat.
So in the old Garfield cartoon, he is voiced by Lorenzo Music. He also voices Peter Venkman in the animated edition of 'The Real Ghostbusters'. Later on, the celebrity who first played Peter Venkman, Bill Murray, voices Garfield in the movies... Small world, huh?
Looking at these half-assed "recognizable property" movies reminds me of that one time a Fox executive told David Fincher during the making of Alien 3 that it didn't matter what the quality of the movie was since, "You could have the whole movie just of a guy pissing on a wall, call it Alien 3, and it'll still make $30 million at the box office". This is what the Garfield movie reminds of. Each. And. Every. Time.
The original strips (I saw something of a compilation book of various eras in 2009 or so) are pretty funny "Garfield & Friends" is also a perfectly swell animated show and the voices for Garfield and Jon (and this includes the Italian dub, amazingly enough) are perfectly cast. Havent seen the holiday specials but I've heard good things about them.
I loved Garfield growing up. I still do. The cartoon from the 80s and 90s was hilarious and sounded like how you'd picture Garfield sounding-this sarcastic, lazy, ahole. And Odie was more of an idiot that Garfield was an ahole to but secretly loved, and it made it funnier when Odie got a one-up on Garfield. Jon was a loser and often exasperated Garfield, yet considered Garfield his friend (which is how being a cat owner works), and Garfield's insults to him were hilarious. It's basically a cat being a lazy, lovable jerk, which is funny. It's when they try to turn it into a movie (and even the animated series, which had action, knew how to properly portray the characters and was properly casted) where they lose it.
Chris cant change his voice to save his life, chris Pratt voices himself Chris Pratt, it worked for Emmett because was random Lego man like Chris was at the time
I have a very low key obsession with garfeild. Theres something really comforting about that fat orange cat who hates mondays and eats lasagna. Whenever someone wants to buy me a gift its usualy garf related 😁 Ive watched most of the movies, even the weird straight to dvd ones but i really cant see myself going to see this, its just so boring and shallow.
5:41 if I were an animator, I would made the best lasagna meal that it looks more realistic and well made pasta dish ever. Looks like pancakes wrapped up into a red jam paste sandwich. It tried to be lasagna instead Adam can’t explain the 12 principles of animation.
Stupid side tangent, but man have trailers really gone down in format. First with them showing a ton of parts from the movie/show and borderline spoiling them. Then the remixed iconic music aspect (that even if it is cool, they just never release seperately from the trailer). And now the final nail in the coffin, showing the already spoiling parts in a quick 5 second flash to say the trailer is about to start.
Why have they included Garfield’s dad when in the books his parental connection was with his mum? Like she was a stray that lives in the Italian restaurant, which is now abandoned, where he was born. I do actually like Garfield IP… don’t like any of the movies though. Only time it worked was the TV show with Lorenzo Music.
I know people go "It's fine if it's bad, it's a kid's movie", but Garfield REALLY DOES just look like a whatever passable kids movie. It's cute, it's doing the comic strip style, the animations at least feel fun and cartoonish, and it'll probably have a fine whatever "found family" message that's going to be pretty inoffensive. Compared to something like The Lorax, it's honestly probably going to be just okay. It's not Kung Fu Panda or How to Train Your Dragon, but I doubt little kids are really too bothered by some wonky lighting or awkward pacing. It honestly just looks fine, you know? It'll probably just be okay for what it is.
"does anyone like Garfield" I used to. When I was a child I read the Garfield comic strip, books, watched the cartoon and loved the holiday specials. He was a sarcastic, lazy cat and has a dry wit. Sometimes he would do something zany but mostly it was just sarcasm through his half-lidded cartoon eyes. As time has gone on, he has changed a lot. He now moves his mouth when he talks, which is something he didnt used to do because we were hearing his thoughts not him actually talking. He's gotten more cute-e-fide but that was always happening to him. This is MY Garfield anymore but whatever, I still have the holiday specials and old comics and books. Sad that the newer gen doesnt have the sardonic, lazy, witty Garfield but I guess the Fortnight Generation wouldnt like that.
2:10 you can tell that it’s Nicholas Hoult as Jon character’s voice, but it almost felt like Nicholas Hoult AI voice which you believe it’s not him. I rather watched him eating a rich delicious in The Menu after he got killed while trying to escape away from Ralph Fiennes.
I only liked Garfield back when I watched reruns of Garfield and Friends as a kid, and the Sunday Comics. My Nephew is obsessed with the CGI Garfield Show. Odie is the best character though imo.
I think the bulk of good Garfield stuff comes from the 80's. Some of it from the 90's, though the comic itself had lost steam by then. It was a time when the franchise had an actual creative backbone, especially in the TV specials. I'll always stand by stuff like Here Comes Garfield and A Garfield Christmas as unironically good. It's true the franchise was milked shamelessly from day 1, but it had talented people behind it for a time, before slowly becoming the shell it is today.
It's a real shame, I'm a big fan of Garfield (own several of the comic strip collection books, watched the TV specials as a kid, etc.) but whenever someone adapts him to another medium it's basically always shit. Always feels like they're trying to do more with the character than is necessary. Anyway I Saw the TV Glow looks sick.
It's super frustrating because it's the one thing. It's like hulk being blue. Garfield's voice and lasagna are the main two things I need, that's it. I will take everything else. Loved most of everything else Garfield.
I used to be annoyed when Adum would complain about how a trailer isn't in 4k or doesn't have subtitles. Now I hope trailers are in 1080p and have no subtitles so he can't enjoy it.
@@mdude3 Seriously it wasn't until he started saying "Trailers are in 4k now YOU'RE WELCOME." That I thought to myself "I want every movie trailer to look like it was filmed on a mid-2000s flip phone just to piss Adum off."
Given the cheaply made Garfield content that’s been released in the last decade or so like Garfield Cart, I wouldn’t be surprised if a big chunk of this was AI generated.
10:31 - Shitty loop of the background music "Hey lil' momma yeah you heard about me-you heard about me" I wish the actual start of that song was featured in the trailer "Balls hanging low--"
I like the 90 2D Garfield cartoon, (Garfield and friends). I grew with it, and I think was very good, with good songs and animation, I think it holds to this day. It did got weird now and them with characters like Garfield's girlfriend and such, and I do admit that funny enough, my favorite characters were the farm characters, not Garfield xD, but his episodes were good to, in my opinion at last, but after that anything using the character was fun, includong the original comics, for me they felt without the same energy. I'm not very curious about this movie.
I love Garfield. Read it a ton as a kid and even had the DS Garfields Nightmare game. But it’s not like it has any bearing on my personality other than I own a T Shirt.
I am so glad Chris Pratt voices every role instead of long standing voice actors known for voicing the characters on TV/in games

I remember the Garfield and Friends show being good and wholesome. The Christmas movie in the same style was nice too because Odie is so damn cute.
I think the bulk of good Garfield stuff comes from the 80's. Some of it from the 90's, though the comic itself had lost steam by then. It was a time when the franchise had an actual creative backbone, especially in the TV specials. I'll always stand by stuff like Here Comes Garfield and A Garfield Christmas as unironically good.
It's true the franchise was milked shamelessly from day 1, but it had talented people behind it for a time, before slowly becoming the shell it is today.
I completely forgot Snoop Lion was a thing
This is going to be the best movie of all movie
The wild robot: “am I nothing to you?”
Why does Hollywood insist on putting CP into so many movies?
It's a real shame, I'm a big fan of Garfield (own several of the comic strip collection books, watched the TV specials as a kid, etc.) but whenever someone adapts him to another medium it's basically always shit. Always feels like they're trying to do more with the character than is necessary.
Anyway I Saw the TV Glow looks sick.
It's super frustrating because it's the one thing. It's like hulk being blue. Garfield's voice and lasagna are the main two things I need, that's it. I will take everything else. Loved most of everything else Garfield.

Me (As John Hammond from Jurassic Park: “I really hated that man (Adam). 😒
Am I the only one who remember really liking the live action Garfield movie as a kid?
I used to be annoyed when Adum would complain about how a trailer isn't in 4k or doesn't have subtitles.
Now I hope trailers are in 1080p and have no subtitles so he can't enjoy it.
The virgin complainer vs the chad sadist
@@mdude3 Seriously it wasn't until he started saying "Trailers are in 4k now YOU'RE WELCOME." That I thought to myself "I want every movie trailer to look like it was filmed on a mid-2000s flip phone just to piss Adum off."
Given the cheaply made Garfield content that’s been released in the last decade or so like Garfield Cart, I wouldn’t be surprised if a big chunk of this was AI generated.
Not trying to defend it or anything but the movie's been in development since like 2016, feel it's unlikely they're doing AI
every single alt girl im talking to is excited for this dont ruin this for me adum
Man, i could really go for some PopChips right now idk why
10:31 - Shitty loop of the background music "Hey lil' momma yeah you heard about me-you heard about me"
I wish the actual start of that song was featured in the trailer "Balls hanging low--"
Bring back Bill Murray....
i absolutely love garfield, but i can't say whether i'm actually real
Now that’s a comment
I love Garfield
dismissive Drake: GF means ‘girlfriend’
approving Drake: GF means ‘Garfield’
I hope one day we get movies satirising this baffling era of 'film actor who can't voice act staring in voice actor roles'.
He's watching TikTok on TV?
when garfield ran on tv in the early 90s...i switched to something else
I like the 90 2D Garfield cartoon, (Garfield and friends). I grew with it, and I think was very good, with good songs and animation, I think it holds to this day. It did got weird now and them with characters like Garfield's girlfriend and such, and I do admit that funny enough, my favorite characters were the farm characters, not Garfield xD, but his episodes were good to, in my opinion at last, but after that anything using the character was fun, includong the original comics, for me they felt without the same energy. I'm not very curious about this movie.
I love Garfield. Read it a ton as a kid and even had the DS Garfields Nightmare game. But it’s not like it has any bearing on my personality other than I own a T Shirt.
izzzyzzz likes garfield unironically i think
There was a chorus pedal in that lasagna box.
No Hollywood studio is brave enough to attempt a Garfield / U.S. Acres crossover film
