Garfield is back in a new movie, and there are different options for where to watch 2024’s The Garfield Movie. Sony’s animated movie brings Jim Davis’ iconic orange, Lasagna-loving, Monday-hating cat to audiences in a new way. After two previous Garfield movies that had Bill Murray voice a CGI version of the cat in a live-action setting, The Garfield Movie is a fully animated film starring Davis’ creation. It was announced with Chris Pratt providing the voice of Garfield, continuing his run of voicing legendary characters after tackling Mario for The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
The Garfield Move is directed by Mark Dindal, who previously directed Disney’s animated hit The Emperor’s New Groove. Pratt is joined by Samuel L. Jackson, Nicholas Hoult, Hannah Waddingham, and more as members of the voice cast. Since animated movies target younger audiences and families, they can be incredibly popular in theaters and on streaming services, depending on which release method is chosen. Several options exist for where to watch The Garfield Movie will exist over time.

When Will The Garfield Movie Release On Streaming?
The Garfield Movie Will Stream On Netflix
Sony has yet to announce when The Garfield Movie‘s streaming release date will be following its theatrical debut. It is known that the movie will stream on Netflix as part of a deal between the streaming service and Sony that gives Netflix the streaming debuts for all new Sony productions. The deal has so far brought a fairly standard schedule of operation, resulting in Sony’s films moving to Netflix roughly 120 days after debuting in theaters. This creates a projection that The Garfield Movie will release on Netflix in September 2024.
When Will The Garfield Movie Release On Digital?
No Release Date Has Been Confirmed
Anyone wanting to watch The Garfield Movie at home will have the first opportunity to do so with the film’s digital release. Sony has yet to confirm when this will happen, but the film will be released on most major PVOD services. This will likely give viewers a chance to buy or rent The Garfield Movie in late June or early July 2024. Sony’s films wait nearly 45 days to release on digital on average, but it can happen quicker. That would present a potentially more cost-effective way to watch The Garfield Movie without needing a Netflix subscription.
