Garfield run over by Cars

Garfield opened fairly poorly this weekend, though that was probably not that unexpected.

The weekend's other new wide release, 20th Century Fox's "Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties," opened weakly with $7.2 million, coming in sixth. The live-action and animated sequel features the voice of Bill Murray as the comic-strip fat cat. "Garfield" had been competing for the same family audience as "Cars," whose voice cast includes Owen Wilson and Paul Newman in a comedy about a race car that learns the value of slowing down. "I guess the family audience picked their favorite and decided that this is what it was going to be," said Chuck Viane, head of distribution at Disney, which recently bought its animation partner Pixar, the maker of "Finding Nemo," "The Incredibles" and the "Toy Story" movies.

I want my .. MeowTV

I've been meaning to post this since launching the site last night so thanks to Gothamist for the reminder...

Set the DVRs!! Meow Mix has planned the release of a TV show about and starring cats!

From a CNN Piece on the same subject:

Annabelle Gurwitch, former host of the TBS program "Dinner & A Movie," hosts the program with her cat, Stinky. Broadcasting from their fictional living room, they narrate segments like "Squirrel Alert," where squirrels run up and down trees to fast-paced music.

The "Cat Critics" segment shows housecats watching a film about large cats, like lions and cheetahs, in the wild. The housecats in the forefront "comment" on what they see, Thompson said.

Actress Sandra Bernhard -- who Thompson said is a cat fan -- reads aloud "Cat Haikus," and viewers can send in birthday "shout-outs" to their cats, along with footage of their cats doing "something cool." The first episode features a cat that eats his meals with chopsticks and another cat that surfs in the ocean.

The idea was to try a different kind of marketing, Thompson said. Meow Mix toyed with a number of "fun gimmicks" before deciding this one had legs, he said.

There are 85 million cats living in 35 million homes in the United States, he said.

"We got a lot of input from all of our cat friends," Thompson joked. "We wanted to be sure that tabby cats and Persians got all of their demographics in."

Good fun for the whole family to enjoy!

 

"The cats are the stars of this show – they walk tightropes, balanceballs on their noses, do paw-stands, jump from great heights, andunerringly negotiate complex mazes", says Kuklachev. "We glorify themand that's why we provide the cats with a traveling entourage includinga vet, kitty caretakers and personal stylists to tend to the needs ofour feline superstars."  [Moscow Cat Theatre, Cats Theater]
