Garfield Release Date: Latest Updates, Cast, Trailer, and Overview

Garfield, a well-known cartoon pet since its debut in the 1978 Jim Davis comic strip, has become a global icon with various TV series, holiday specials, films, and merchandise.

Now, fans’ wishes are coming true as the lasagna-loving cat is gearing up for its first animated theatrical release.
