PETALING JAYA: The highest paid chief executive officer in the United States is neither Apple's Tim Cook nor Tesla's Elon Musk, but Malaysian-born businessman Tan Hock Eng.
'The Garfield Movie' is a curious new animated attempt to monetise the comic icon again by giving him an origin story and then asking him to do things a galaxy away from what he does in the funny pages. — Photos: Sony Pictures MalaysiaCast: Chris Pratt, Samuel L.

If you catch the latest Garfield movie, you might not expect to find the famous orange feline at one point running from bad guys on the top of a speeding train. Lasagna eating? Sure. But any sort of cardio?, a curious new animated attempt to monetize the comic icon again by giving him an origin story and then asking him to do things a galaxy away from what he does in the funny pages. It's like if Snoopy ran an underground bare-knuckle fight club.
Chris Pratt voices the Monday-hating, self-centred hero and Samuel L. Jackson animates his long-lost father, who abandoned Garfield in an alley one rainy night, leading to lifelong trauma. That may explain his endless appetite, to fill the void of parental neglect.
Sorry, what was that? Garfield is perhaps the most indoor cat in history and seeing him dodge massive chopping blades or boulders onscreen is just plain weird. Making it even weirder is that his partner Odie - traditionally a drooling idiot - is remade here as highly competent, perhaps even a savant. This is not canon.
The animation is pretty great - the backgrounds, at least. Ladders show rust and forests are lush, but then the main characters are a step or two less realised, more cartoonish. Jim Davis, who created Garfield, is an executive producer so he must be OK with all of this, a forgettable, unfunny animated slog. At one point, Garfield says"Bury me in cheese" and that seems a fitting final resting place for this cat's film career.
