‘Tis the season… for lasagna? At least that’s what Garfield would say! The beloved cat got his start in a comic strip by Jim Davis back in 1976, and now he’s headed to the big screen. The first trailer for The Garfield Movie was released last month, and there have also been some fun posters promoting the film. The latest is a holiday-themed poster that sees baby Garfield and baby Odie hanging out on the mantle in some stockings.

What Is The Garfield Movie About?
Garfield is being directed by Mark Dindal, who helmed The Emperor’s New Groove and Chicken Little for Disney. The screenplay was written by Paul A. Kaplan, David Reynolds, and Mark Torgrove.
Per the studio’s official synopsis, “Garfield (voiced by Chris Pratt), the world-famous, Monday-hating, lasagna-loving indoor cat, is about to have a wild outdoor adventure! After an unexpected reunion with his long-lost father – scruffy street cat Vic (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson) – Garfield and his canine friend Odie are forced from their perfectly pampered life into joining Vic in a hilarious, high-stakes heist.”
