Western Animation - Discuss American, Canadian, and European cartoons here (or just bitch about wokeshit, I guess)

Gameboy Garfield is another popular one.
There's also Garfield Minus Garfield
since you mentioned it, I feel the need to point that Lorenzo Music was the voice of Garfield in the Cartoons alongside Peter Venkman in The Real Ghostbusters.
Which is funny considering Peter Venkman was played by Bill Murray in the live action movie and then went on to play Garfield in the Live Action films.
And Bill Murray still regrets doing the Garfield movies as of today. During his Reddit AMA, a fan questioned why he was in the movies, and he responded that the movie was written by Joel Coen, as in one of the Coen brothers, when in reality, it was actually co-written by Joel Cohen, who had also co-written Monkeybone, the 2003 Cheaper by the Dozen remake and Evan Almighty, among other kids movies from the 2000s.

would be honestly be willing to see that.
 
The writing in the trailer seems pretty cringe but I thought the animation looked pretty nice and charming and Sony is at least delivering on thay front once more.
With blurring the line between 2d and 3d this is the kind of stuff I think of, not Disneys wish looking like a Wii U game.

Some zoomers might go watch it ironically because garfield is still a pretty major meme rn, but I think itll mostly just be gen alpha children and their (grand)parents because this movie just seems very kiddie without the reference appeal that mario had

We have Chad Quinton Reviews to bring the supremacy Garfield to Zoomers.

In all seriousness though, Garfield has been around for a long time while consistently releasing products. Many Zoomers remember CN airing the Garfield Show and it’s spin-off films. Then there is the gaming space where the meme of Garfield Kart got super popular, along with him being part of every Nick game since All-Star Brawl.

Also, can’t forget the amazing Trolling done with Garfield Kart’s Twitter posting alt-right content:
You mention the fucking GarfKart account to Quinton and the guy would get a fucking aneurysm. All the Garfield media within my lifetime has been so shit and with Q in the mix I'm completely soured on the franchise.

I haven't checked how he reacted to the trailer but every time Quinton has talked about the movie he talks about how it has the chance to redeem the IP and make new fans as he got that idea because of the Sonic movie. Ngl, when it comes to Garfield content of his it is at least interesting if a little too full of himself like how he has called himself the biggest Garfield fan and suggested the Garf reveal for Nick All-Star Brawl was done around his birthday on purpose yet is under the impression Jim Davis may hate him because he accidentally gave the theory that Davis resents Garfield some backing by archiving "lost media" that proved the strip started as a self-insert.

The only thing that really matters is that if the movie fails to leave any sort of cultural impact he will seethe and if it succeeds but doesn't get him any attention he will seethe too.
 
OK, even I have to admit, the Chris Pratt saturation is getting kinda ridiculous
I hate the style of the movie. Something about the designs makes them look off? I want to say the realism and texturing such as John's hair, but it goes beyond that. The eyes look weirdly proportioned, the general shape of John's hair looks off, and the proportions seem to round. It looks like a Garfield with all the edge taken out, if that makes sense?

Another thing, why is this a Sony movie? Nickelodeon/Paramount own Garfield so why is another company producing this?

Quinton's legacy will be reviewing ICarly for 5 hours, let him have his win.

Garfield feels like Meta-era Sonic if it lasted an additional 10 years. Hopefully Nickelodeon can inject some life into him again like they surprisingly did with TMNT. Otherwise, at least the Nick games treat him well.

Garfield looks like he has hydrocephalus.

You know something, me too now that I think of it really. Though I do hope we live in a world where a Wes Anderson Garfield movie exists and Bill Murray reprising the role but in a similar fashion to Isle of Dogs
 
Maybe mark me late on this since I don't watch tv much anymore, but when the hell did shows like Dexter's Laboratory, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Ed, Edd n Eddy, and Courage the Cowardly Dog qualify for Adult Swim status? What happened to it being the timeslot you wait until Tiny Tim goes to bed to tune in?

He is more recognized for the 8 hour long Victorious video, that's the video that got all the memes in Tumblr going. Get your Quintstory right you pleb.

The moment parents started to think those were too edgy for children but couldn't be arsed to see the kind of deviant shit their children get up to in Roblox.

The Garfield movie artstyle reminds me of my cursed pfp wtf.

I can't comment on how good or bad it was since it's been so long, but The Garfield Show really did a great job transitioning Garfield from 2D to 3D despite how cheap it was overall
 
First teaser for Inside Out 2 just dropped. The poster teases other emotions beside Anxiety that were hinted at in the trailer.

Forgot to check this thread when it showed up in my notifications so i'm SUPER late, but what's the point of this thing when Fear already exists? Sure, they're different, but not different enough to warrant being made out to be something as important as disgust or joy. It'd be like adding Annoyance when there's already Anger.

Also, seconding BBB on the Garfield movie. The thumbnail looks like one of those shitty "realistic texture" filters over cartoon people that you see in only the tackiest of mainstream fanart.
Actually, everything about that fucking thumbnail irks me something horrible, with the logo looking AI-generated (look at the edges of the letters- the shaky lines are shaky in a way very reminiscent of AI-generated text to me) and the entire thing just looking amateur. A gradient background with uneven focus on either side, no immediate centerpiece, the aforementioned realistic-texture filter...

I was wondering myself, so I did a quick google. I doubt these new guys will be staying long unless some twist happens.

Old Garfield was based, what are you talking about?

I remembered watching Garfield and Friends on Toon Disney and Boomerang as a kid and yes, it was based. In the episode where Binky was replaced with the Buddy Bears and was trying to look for work, there was one scene he was trying to run for president, but Garfield commented that there are already clowns running for office.
