LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Garfield Movie' will be in theatres from May 24, 2024, and it follows the story of Garfield (Chris Pratt) and his father Vic (Samuel L Jackson).

'The Garfield Movie' is directed by Mark Dindal and it stars Samuel L Jackson, Hannah Waddingham, Nicholas Hoult, Ving Rhames, Chris Pratt, and Harvey Guillén in important roles. 

'The Garfield Movie' is about Garfield, a lazy cat who loves to eat, and his estranged father with whom he must carry out a heist to be free from the clutches of Jinx (Hannah Waddingham), an evil cat who wants revenge from Vic. The heist doesn't go according to plan and Vic gets kidnapped by Jinx again as Garfield gets arrested. Garfield is bailed out by Jon Arbuckle (Nicholas Hoult) who takes him home. So does Garfield save Vic?

Here is an explanation for the end of 'The Garfield Movie'.

Garfield discovers a tree outside Jon's house where he sees tally marks made by his father Vic. He discovers that his father never really deserted him and was keeping a watchful eye on him and seeing him grow up with the comforts that Jon could offer him. 

He then teams up with Odie (Harvey Guillén) and Otto (Ving Rhames) who help him attack Jinx and save his father. The plan is partially successful but they end up getting caught by Roland (Brett Goldstein) and Nolan (Bowen Yang).
