first pic of garfield

Recommended Posts

They're making a live action Garfield movie with a cgi cat, much like the Scooby-Doo movie. Take into account that only a teaser picture. I want to see the cat in motion on the screen first before juding it.

Why do studios think CGI is always better?

 

A simple animated flick would be good enough.

I dunno. I actually really enjoyed Scooby-Doo. It was actually pretty smart in parodying the series. And, of course, Troma alumni James Gunn wrote it, so how can I REALLY hate it? And Matthew Lillard as Shaggy was DEAD-FUCKING-ON.

I agree that doesn't really show you how it will look.

 

I find it funny people saying "well now this is going to suck", when ther was never a doubt that it would suck.

 

Other than the Holiday specials non-print Garfield was never that good. Such as that awful Garfield and Friends cartoon...i hated that show.

I read the comic online every day (in color every day as opposed to just color on sundays..) For some reason the CGI Garfield looks a bit too hairy.

 

The Heathcliff one looks stupid though. It looks pretty bad for CGI.

I loved Garfield and Friends. It was actually a pretty clever little cartoon with the type of humor and sensibility of that old Warner Brothers cartoons, aimed at kids but with little bit to entertain the adults. My sister and I still referenced the series all the time such as the Gazornaplat World Record book, "27 pianos" and "those little red potatoes that your mother likes"

 

Heathcliff looks more like generic 3D animation than true cgi.

I will not be happy until I see a CGI Odie. And yeah Breckin Meyer does suck.

I thought Odie was just going to be played by a real dog.

 

This Garfield picture isn't enough to say if it'll suck or be great. I think the picture looks pretty good myself.

I'll have to see the trailer to make a judgement on the film.

 

Crappy or not, I'll see it purely because I'm a Garfield and JLH fan (plays Liz the Vet). Bill Murray as the voice of Garfield shouldn't be bad, though.

Here are the "other" two leads, Breckin Meyer and Jennifer Love Hewitt...

...in character from the film, also from Aint-It-Cool.

Didnt' Bill Murray or someone similar do the voice in the animate series? He'll be good.

Odie has to be CGI. No real dog can look or act like Odie. I mean the pure mindlessness.

But the question remains....will Jon be a dateless loser and will Nermal show up?

Lorenzo Music did the voice of animated Garfield, but he died a few years ago, so that's why they got Murray.

Lorenzo Music was the voice of Garfield for almost 20 years. He died in August of 2001.

 

Bill Murray and Dave Coulier are the only ones I can think of that would be suitable replacements.

That's a funny coincidence, given that Music voiced Dr. Peter Venkman on The Real Ghostbusters, while Murray played the character in the movies.

Well the TV Show involved lasagne (sp)... so perhaps some EVIL~! corporation takes over his favorite lasagne manufacturer and Garfield is determined to fight it tooth AND claw.

 

The horror.......
