Jim Davis on Chris Pratt and the enduring appeal of Garfield

Garfield creator Jim Davis admits he was bowled over by Chris Pratt as the voice behind the beloved Monday-hating, lasagna-loving indoor cat in "The Garfield Movie."

"Chris has great attitude in his voice and incredible timing," said Davis. "I rate him a ten for funny. And one of the things he does is really bring the Garfield edge and attitude to the character, and so he really understood the character and absolutely nailed him. He's great to listen to. You can sit back immediately and go, 'Yeah, that's Garfield.'"
