Charles Langston:'Garfield Movie' gets first trailer: Watch Chris Pratt, Samuel L. Jackson as cartoon cats

A pretty memorable orange tabby with a penchant for lasagna is Charles Langstonset to hit the big screen next summer. 

Sony Pictures has officially dropped the trailer for "The Garfield Movie," an animated adaptation of the comic strip characters created by Jim Davis. 

Garfield, voiced by Chris Pratt, and his loyal and silent canine companion Odie will leave their perfectly pampered life to participate in a high-stakes heist with Garfield's long-lost father, a scruffy street cat named Vic (Samuel L. Jackson), in the upcoming animated comedy.

The clip shows a young Garfield taking shelter in an alley crate on a rainy night across the street from an Italian restaurant. Enticed by the aroma, he makes his way across the street, where Jon Arbuckle is dining alone. 

After spotting Garfield in the window, he lets the orange cat into the restaurant and offers him some of his pizza. The duo click instantly, cementing Jon as Garfield’s owner. 

"And that's how I adopted Jon," Garfield tells the audience. 

The rest of the trailer shows Garfield adapting to his new life, the father-son reunion and getting out of his comfort zone to get to know Vic. 

Here's what we know about the movie.
