Last year saw many fan-favorite animated characters coming to life on the big screen successfully. Features like Super Mario Bros, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse kept audiences glued to their seats before Barbenheimer phenomenon swept the world. So expectations from animated films this year is higher and Kung Fu Panda’s success is a statement that fans will turn up to the theatres for their favorite animated characters. Sony’s The Garfield Movie is next in line to charm the audience into the theatres with a plethora of talents attached to it.

We also get a good look at Jon, voiced by Nicholas Hoult, and adorable Odie, who is voiced by fan favorite Harvey Guillen.

Other posters see Snoop Dogg’s character A Cat, with an eye patch, while Hanna Waddingham’s Jink looks like a pricey house cat. We also get a good look at Brett Goldstein’s Roland, Bowen Yang’s Nolan; they seem like the stary dogs Garfield will encounter on his adventure. We also see Cecily Strong’s human character Marge, and Ving Rhames’ Otto, who seems like a bull with a heart of gold. Overall, the character posters paint a hilarious picture of the new world fans will step into with the upcoming animated comedy.
