The Garfield Movie made nearly $244 million, despite reviewers' largely poor assessments.

Jim Davis' opinion on casting

Meanwhile, Jim Davis, the guy behind Garfield, was pleased with Pratt's casting as the character because, in Davis's view, Pratt brought out more than just the deadpan humour in his portrayal of Garfield. 

Pratt was also director Mark Dindal's initial pick to play Garfield because, according to Dindal, he had imagined Pratt's voice voicing the character for a long time. The animators mixed Dindal's voice with clips of Garfield's dialogue to evaluate if it portrayed Garfield's snark and sloth, which Dindal thought it did.

Sequel possibility

Even if The Garfield Movie doesn't introduce any new plot points, the moment after the credits roll practically guarantees that there will be a sequel. After the credits rolled, a comic strip showed up, and Garfield playfully asked if anyone was hoping for a sequel. It appears like Colombia already has something planned, but the success of the first film will determine if this comes to fruition. The second Garfield film will definitely be a reality if everything works out.
