What will the orange kitten have to bring him to the big screen again and again? Created by Jim Davis in the ’70s, GarfieldIn addition to being a lasagna lover, he had an irreverence in the comic strip that he had not achieved in the cinema.
And we are talking about the two films with Bill Murray, which combined actors with animation. In this Garfield: away from home, fully animated, explores the origins of the feline. As if they had agreed not to continue with the cat in the present, and to investigate why his father abandoned him.
No, don’t worry, because Garfield: away from home It is still a movie for kids, abandoned by the father through. Everything will have its reason for being, but the truth is that, left alone, he meets Jon, his future owner, while she looks at him through the window about to eat a pizza in a restaurant.
The rest, that is, the present, is known. What we didn’t know is the relationship with the absent father.

Well, the plot has Garfield and Jon’s other pet, the dog Odie, having to leave the comforts of home to get into an adventure that involves a robbery with Vic, the father and stray cat.
Likewise, the film is designed so that no one, regardless of their age, is left out of the plot, allowing a new audience to get to know this cat with a stomach like no other.

The filming style remains, this time, faithful to the caricature style of the original comic strip.
Without Chris Pratt
What will have to be regretted, at least in Argentina, is that no film has arrived in the original language, so that the older ones could enjoy the voices of Chris Pratt (Garfield), Samuel L. Jackson (Vic), Hannah Waddingham, who is in another premiere of the week, Profession danger (Jinx) and Nicholas Hoult (Jon).
Lots of grated cheese in the lasagna…
