As someone who grew up in the 90s with Garfield comic strips and cartoons being a staple of my childhood, I must admit that I was thrilled to see “The Garfield Movie” rise to the top of Netflix’s Top 10 Movies list this weekend. It’s not every day that we get to witness our childhood favorites making a comeback and captivating audiences once again!


Despite receiving mixed reviews upon its initial release in cinemas earlier this year, Sony’s animation of the famous comic strip “The Garfield Movie” proved to be a box office hit, generating over $257 million worldwide. This success has persisted even in the realm of streaming services. Over the weekend, “The Garfield Movie” was added to Netflix with minimal promotion, but it didn’t take long for fans of animated films to discover it and propel it up Netflix’s rankings.

Yesterday’s Netflix Top 10 Movies list experienced a shift, with “The Garfield Movie” climbing swiftly to the peak, outperforming recent Netflix favorites such as “Uglies” and “Rebel Ridge.

It seems to be a common trend for Netflix’s animated films, particularly those initially shown in cinemas. The Garfield Movie fits this pattern, joining the ranks of recent successful animated productions such as The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Trolls Band Together.
