Garfield has always seen himself as ‘purr-fect,’ and 45 years later, he is even better! The famous feline renowned for his CATTITUDE is celebrating 45 years of his extraordinary life, and everyone is invited to join the party! In celebration of this milestone, Medialink Animation Int’l. Ltd. and SM Supermalls North Edsa in partnership with Paramount Consumer Products, are bringing the Garfield “It’s A Cat’s Life” event to SM North Edsa, from July 24 through August 13, 2023. There will be an invites-only launch party on July 28 at 4pm at the event venue. For three consecutive Sundays, Garfield will be in the Philippines to meet and greet his fans at SM North Edsa and merchandise will be available on sale for all superfans.
Funny, mischievous, unapologetic, and loved by people of all ages, Garfield is one of the most iconic cats in show business. His passion for food and sleep and his aversion to exercise are legendary. Garfield gets all the lasagna he can get his paws on – courtesy of Jon Arbuckle – and shares a home with Odie, a fun-loving dog who is often the target of his antics and sass. Since the debut Jim Davis’ first Garfield comic strip in 1978, Garfield has delivered the wittiest wisecracks that have come to define the charmingly cynical cat we know and love. Today, he is 100% that cat – and perhaps bolder, wiser and way cooler than before!
Be sure to check out the various exhibitions and activities at the Garfield Art Toys Exhibition at The Block Atrium, which is open for all.
