| | | | TOP STORY Substituting Action-Movie Tropes for Lasagna Feasts, 'The Garfield Movie' Could Use More Lard | | Animated movies can either be wonderful works of art or obnoxious cash grabs intended to capture the short attention spans of children. Sometimes you’ll get a profoundly resonant Pixar movie like the nuanced Incredibles or a poetically resplendent Ghibli movie (like the lyrical Ponyo), but too often you get The Garfield Movie, a hectic animation that gives you the feeling of a queasy sugar rush. Starring Chris Pratt as the voice of the talking cat, Garfield is the latest adaptation of Jim Davis’s comics, and it’s far from purrfect. No one is expecting Ghibli when they walk into Garfield, but they are anticipating a certain brand of reserved wit. It’s hard to imagine what the writers were thinking when they decided to morph a cat who eats lasagna, mutters jokes, and does nothing all day into a super spy, the equivalent of turning Charlie Brown into Liam Neeson. Did they not remember what made Davis’s comics so effective? | | READ MORE ➝ |
