Here’s something families can look forward to this summer — The Garfield Movie finally has an official Philippines cinema release date.
While there have been Garfield movies before (as there were two live-action films), this new movie is the first proper animated film adaptation of the beloved comic. Of course, that’s not counting the 2007 Garfield Gets Real movie which was a direct-to-DVD project.

As for its story, the movie’s premise is described as:
“Garfield, the world-famous, Monday-hating, lasagna-loving indoor cat, is about to have a wild outdoor adventure!
