This version of “The Garfield Movie” is an origin story, with a discovery. “Garfield Doesn’t Like Burgers” once he discovers the wonders of lasagna.

Chris Pratt voices the cat, with the voices of Samuel L. Jackson, Ving Rhames, Bowen Yang and Hannah Waddington also in the cast.

The brand seems dated, with comic strips extinct and the earlier movies and TV series a distant nostalgic memory for today’s parents. But a cute smart alec cat could be just the ticket for tiny tykes.
