When laziness is worth millions: Garfield returns to the screen
The laziest cat in the world returns with Garfield 2, confirmed by Alcon Entertainment after the success of the first film that grossed $234 million. Chris Pratt reprises his role as the voice of the most sarcastic lasagna-loving feline 🍝.
"Your favorite cat is back," Pratt announced on social media, confirming his participation.
The dream technical team behind the cat
DNEG Animation is leading the visual production once again, ensuring:
- Hyper-detailed expressions with complex rigs
- Realistic fur through Houdini simulations
- High-quality rendering with Arnold or Redshift
A production that's no cat's game
Far from being a simple project, it involves:
- Coordination between multiple international studios
- Render farms working at full capacity
- Specialized teams in facial and body animation
What we can expect technically
For 3D enthusiasts, the sequel promises:
- Improvements in fabric and food simulations
- Even more exaggerated and comic expressions
- Detailed environments that complement the protagonist
Moral: if you thought animating a lazy cat was easy, think again. Behind every yawn are hundreds of hours of rendering... though the character would never admit it 😼.
