 Hey, mom. Are you still at grandpa's house? Oh good. Can you put him on? Hey grandpa, it's Adam. How are you? Good. Listen, are you wearing your depends right now? Fantastic because the news I'm about to tell you is gonna make you shit yourself Chris Pratt is voicing Garfield Chris Pratt Owen from Jurassic World No, not Jurassic Park Jurassic World. I forget you're an old man He's Emmett From the Lego movie. No He's Mario, you know Super Mario the Italian plumber. Yeah, he's voicing him, too He was the one of the monsters and onward He's basically the Terra strong or Nolan North of the movie voice acting community Yeah, Star Lord Guardians of the Galaxy No Andy from Parks and Rec generic guy from Tomorrow War grandpa Grandpa, you hung up. Oh My god, I forgot I was recording if you weren't listening. That's the big news Chris Pratt is voicing Garfield Why so I what John Arbuckle Garfield's owner and a personal friend of mine You think that these people should hit subscribe if they haven't already? Okay. Well, you heard it from John a Real person hit subscribe Listen, I think you and I both know Garfield has had a stellar run in cinema Between Bill Murray's beautiful interpretation of the character in the Garfield movie and the sequel Tale of two kitties any film that has a pun in the title is instantly an A-plus in my book But seriously, no, this is an animated film Sony's producing. They only know of two actors To exist on the planet Chris Pratt's one and I assume Odie the dog is gonna be played by Tom Holland hasn't been confirmed but This is Sony Chris Pratt is really killing it right now in this voice acting gig. What a what a nice job for him What a payday. I don't get it. I don't see him as Garfield. I don't hear him as Garfield, but I also don't care. I'm not really a like a big Garfield fan. You know, he eats lasagna He's a smart ass. He's kind of a dick to his dog companion. It's kind of it I am a big fan of Super Mario though So that casting was perplexing beyond all belief so I would understand if you like Garfield a lot and you're thinking why Chris Pratt Well because Hollywood only has a few bankable stars right now that they're willing to put their weight behind and and he's one of them The Star Lord and Savior himself this time. It's fully animated. I believe it's not doing the whole Sonic the Hedgehog The old Scooby-Doo thing well the old Garfield thing actually where it's a CG character talking to real people and interacting with real things It is Chris Pratt though still doing the voice and that's really the takeaway of this video The film is being written by David Reynolds who did Finding Nemo and it's being directed by Mark Dindle who did Emperor's New Groove Which is fantastic and chicken little just chicken shit I am a little disappointed though that there seems to be three or four people that we're turning to now for movies in General I think they could probably have broadened the horizon for the role of Garfield maybe gone with someone that Isn't Chris Pratt, but you know, we'll see I guess that's where we're at There was a point a long long time ago where an animated film would have voice actors you hadn't even heard of they weren't stars Maybe in in the voice actor community. They were but certainly not on the big screen out on the silver screen Nowadays it's all about who's the most bankable who are the names we can put on this thing to get people into the theaters I think it's incredibly humorous where you get a movie like the emoji movie Or some of that other bottom-feeding crap and you can just tell exactly what they're doing from the marketing standpoint They're like, okay, we got to get as many walks of life into this thing as we can so let's get Let's get a really respected actor like Patrick Stewart and now let's get something for the ladies that are at home watching the cooking channel let's get Rachel Ray, who can we get that speaks to the youth that's been all over the globe a Mr. Worldwide of sorts I heard it Pitbull these crappy animated films will have like an A-lister a couple B-listers someone from like dancing with the stars Someone from CSI They just pull from all these different places so that they can get as much bang for their buck and now we're seeing it with Mario and Garfield not necessarily the talent that's right for the job But the talent that will get people into the theaters and that's Chris Pratt I guess as a person that finds Garfield delightful, but doesn't really need to rush out to see any of his films I don't really care about this. I just wanted to put it out there and give my two cents see what you had to say in the comments So let me know what do you think about Chris Pratt as Garfield the cat and if you like cat puns Maybe you should pause the video for a second and give it a like and subscribe here for more videos I do a lot of stuff movie related.
