The Monday-hating, lasagna-loving indoor cat, Garfield is world-famous for his antics and razor-sharp tongue. The character created by Jim Davis has spawned a franchise with numerous television series, holiday specials, films, and merchandise. Nonetheless, the upcoming feature will take Garfield on an adventure unlike any.
