Jim Davis’ comic strip gets an animated reboot with Chris Pratt voicing the iconic cat

Movies are bigger than cartoon strips. That’s why adaptations of four-panel funnies are often so challenging. The source is confined and constrained, working to pack a funny short story into the visual equivalent of a paragraph. Making the leap to the big screen, the story has to go big, and that leaves the filmmaker with a choice: Make a bigger version of the regular story or put the characters into a bigger story., the 2015 adaptation of the homespun antics of good ol’ Charlie Brown.

Well, now we know it’s Vic , who Garfield is convinced abandoned him as a kitten. Luckily, as shown in an opening flashback, the flabby feline gets taken in by Jon Arbuckle who raises him and indulges his abysmal diet, while enabled and assisted by the endlessly energetic Odie. The happy canine is voiced by’ Harvey Guillén, who just has to bark and whimper because, while this is an animated feature, he’s still just a dog.
