Chris Pratt Is Voicing Garfield In A New Movie, And People Haven't Been This Upset Since He Was Cast As Mario
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
ICYMI, Chris Pratt will be voicing the beloved grumpy cartoon cat Garfield in an animated movie.
As Vanity Fair notes, the role has gone to a man who "probably likes Mondays and only eats lasagna on cheat days."
The news — reported yesterday in an exclusive by the Hollywood Reporter — comes roughly a month after the Marvel star was cast as Mario in the animated Super Mario Bros. film alongside Anya Taylor-Joy.
And, as you might expect, the internet's reactions to the Garfield casting news went over about as well as the 42-year-old's voice role as Mario. Here are some of the best reactions below:
1.

In the beginning, animated movies starring Chris Pratt were spaced by 24 weeks, then 12, then six, then every two weeks. The last one, with Garfield, was a week. In four days, we could be seeing new casting announcements every eight hours, until they're coming every four minutes.

Chris Pratt is Mario. Chris Pratt is Garfield. Your Doctor? It’s Chris Pratt. The person you married thirteen years ago? It’s been Chris Pratt the whole time. A cool breeze whispers through an ancient forest, each of the thousands of conifers part of the Pratt consciousness.

@THR @prattprattpratt Just start calling them Pratt-aptations at this point jeez
HOWEVER, on the bright side, Garfield will see director Mark Dindal and screenwriter David Reynolds reunited after having worked together on The Emperor's New Groove. The former also directed Chicken Little, while the latter wrote the screenplay for Finding Nemo.
So, about that new Garfield movie...A lot of people are fixated on the news that Chris Pratt will lend his voice to the cat, yet I'm celebrating that Mark Dindal, the director of Cats Don't Dance and The Emperor's New Groove, will be back in the director's chair after so long.
