He also shared with Cartoon Brew why this sequence didn’t make it into the final film.
The film also surpassed ‘Dune: Part Two’ to become the top-grossing global release of 2024 to date.

“What I was interested in was that you get to reveal that this character, who’s had all this confidence for all these years, has this vulnerable human side to him as well,” said Dindal of his approach to Garfield.
International audiences are showing up for Garfield.
In the trailer, Garfield leaves the familiar confines of domesticated life to join a heist with his estranged father.
The cg feature, co-written by Oscar-nominated screenwriter David Reynolds (‘Finding Nemo’), will hit theaters on May 24, 2024.
