Garfield parodies current cinema releases for his new film Hero in Spite of Himself

Dune, The Fall Guy, Deadpool & Wolverine… with lasagna sauce? No, Garfield!

His eyes are never bigger than his stomach, and when he leaves the small screen where he has already won over young and old spectators, it is to take over the biggest. The most famous red and slightly (a little bit) round cat in animation is back with his faithful companion Odile to experience adventures that will lead him to leave his little palace life behind. Garfield does not a priori have the courage of another well-known ginger cat at DreamWorks, but if he wants to save his father, Vic, from the clutches of an intrepid kitty, he will have to toughen up and become… a hero Despite him.
