Makers of Garfield release a new image of the feline on International Cat Day 

Earlier, we had reported that actor Chris Pratt would be voicing the eponymous feline character Garfield in the upcoming animation film based on the Jim Davis comic strip of the same name. The makers have earlier unveiled an image of Garfield, much similar to Davis's comic strip. On Sunday, International Cat Day, a new image showing the relaxing Garfield was released online.

Directed by Mark Dindal, known for directing animated films like Chicken Little and The Emperor's New Groove, the film has a script penned by David Reynolds. Apart from Pratt, Garfield features an ensemble cast including Samuel L. Jackson as the voice of Garfield's father, Vic, along with Ving Rhames, Nicholas Hoult, Brett Goldstein, Cecily Strong, Hannah Waddingham, and Bowen Yang.

Garfield was first published in 1976. The strip revolves around a Monday-hating, lasagna-loving orange cat named Garfield and his owner, Jon Arbuckle. The comic strip has been adapted into a handful of animation shows and two- live-action films, with Bill Murray voicing the cat. 

Garfield was earlier scheduled for a release on February 16, 2024. However later postponed to May 24, 2024.
