2024’s “The Garfield Movie” shows the importance of express delivery and technology
“Oh, yeah. Drone delivery. Welcome to the future.”
It’s not new that Garfield is loved dearly by Jon Arbuckle, so much so that he is pampered and without the necessary skills for survival. In this 2024 movie, Garfield learns and implements some tactics to succeed in the missions. Like the Willy Wonka character, Garfield has a different parent in this version. In the 2005 version, Willy Wonka had a father, but in the 2023 movie, he had a mother. These other parents serve different purposes in the lives of these characters.
According to the Garfield Wiki on Fandom, his mother has made verbal and physical appearances in some 80’s specials, the most notable being 1983’s Garfield on the Town, in which Garfield briefly reconnects with his family. His pampered nature bothers him as he finds himself on the streets needing to fight but is unable to. His mother tries to console and encourage him about his domesticated life, but he is aware of this difference. In the 2024 movie, he has a father named Vic who jumps at the chance to lessen his domesticated ways.
