Scene from the movie "Garfield"

Garfield is the most famous cartoon cat and is associated with the childhood of millions of children of all generations around the world. After the resounding success of the two films "Garfield: The Movie" (2004) and "Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties" (2006), the story of Garfield the cat returns to the big screen through the film "The Garfield Movie" (film title in Vietnam: "Super naughty fat cat"). This time, the cheese-loving fat cat makes the audience laugh out loud with a series of humorous stories revolving around his completely new adventure.

“The Garfield Movie” focuses on the personality and funny adventures of Garfield, a true “defender” who is extremely gluttonous, sarcastic, lazy and hates Mondays. Garfield has a strong love for pizza and cheese, so he is so fat that he… ruins the veterinarian’s scale. Because of his gluttony, Garfield gradually becomes a chubby cat.

Trouble comes when Vic - Garfield's father - suddenly appears and drags Garfield into a robbery to avoid being retaliated by another cat. The journey is filled with awkward situations and countless laughs. The emotional problems between Vic and Garfield are gradually revealed... Throughout the journey, Garfield has to go through many challenges and difficulties, which help the cat realize many valuable lessons about family and friendship.

“The Garfield Movie” is considered a big upgrade compared to the two previous Garfield films, “The Movie” and “A Tail of Two Kitties” - both of which were huge box office successes with a revenue of over 350 million USD, using completely animated technology, along with extremely cute and eye-catching graphics.

The film crew is also full of talented names. Typically, director Mark Dindal directed “Cats Don’t Dance” (1997), “The Emperor’s New Groove” (2000) and “Chicken Little” (2005) and did the effects for many Disney films such as “The Little Mermaid” (1989) and “Aladdin” (1992). Screenwriter David Reynolds participated in the production of many works of the “House of Mouse” such as “Mulan” (1998), “Tarzan” (1999), “Toy Story” 2 (1999), “Finding Nemo” (2003), “Toy Story 3″ (2010)…

The voice cast for "The Garfield Movie" includes many stars such as Chris Pratt, Samuel L. Jackson, Nicholas Hoult, Cecily Strong... In particular, the combination of Chris Pratt and "Nick Fury" Samuel L. Jackson as father and son Garfield and Vic will be an entertaining and explosive laughter experience for the audience.
