His previous voice credits include Barley in Pixar\u2019s Onward<\/em> and Emmet in The Lego Movie<\/em>. Word\u2019s out on whether or not Pratt will release an Instagram video<\/a> talking about his love of lasagna and Garfield, but the Monday is still young.<\/p>\n The first Garfield strip appeared in newspapers in 1978, and since then the cat has appeared in multiple television shows and two theatrical live-action animated hybrid movies, with three direct-to-video films. In the 2004 and 2006 movies, Garfield was voiced by comedian Bill Murray, with his owner, Jon Arbuckle, played by Breckin Meyer (Robot Chicken<\/em>).<\/p>\n The Garfield animated movie does not have any further production news.<\/p>\n
