The Story of Garfield: A Journey of Reunion and Redemption

Garfield, the charming orange cat who won hearts through comic strips and cartoons, returns in a fresh adventure with the 2024 movie.

As hours passed and with a gnawing hunger in his belly, young Garfield bravely took a step into the world, seeking food and warmth.

During a heavy storm, he stumbled upon a pizzeria. There, he met Jon, a lonely man who was uplifted by Garfield’s cuteness. After a disastrous pizza binge where Garfield devoured all the food in sight, Jon took the kitten home, marking the start of an unbreakable bond.
