The lasagna-loving, sarcastic orange cat is back! The Garfield movie premiered in May 2024, attracting crowds to see the film’s stars on the red carpet, with a special appearance by Garfield himself. Our team at IMC was proud to be part of the design and production of the Garfield mascot for the premieres!
Since 1978, Garfield has been the most recognized orange cat in comic history. He is known for his sly looks, round body, and charm, which made him a household name. The new Garfield movie returns to his classic look from the 1980s when he first hit the big screen in Garfield and Friends.
Creating the Garfield Mascot
In collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment, we proudly crafted 38 Garfield mascot costumes, each meticulously designed to embody his beloved cartoon features and proportions from the movie. These costumes were shipped worldwide to 36 countries, setting the stage for premieres in vibrant cities like Los Angeles and London, England and movie promotional tours in Ireland, South Korea, Brazil, Italy, Spain, and Chile. Chosen for our renowned quality and ease of wear and transport to every event, our mascots captivate audiences with their charm and versatility, ensuring every event is a spectacle to remember.
How Can Licensed Character Mascots Take Your Special Events to the Next Level?
Using mascots at the red carpet premiere of animated movies like Garfield is a great way to create excitement and engage the audience. These life-sized characters bring the on-screen favourites to life, giving fans a fun and interactive experience. Unlike live-action movie premieres, where the actors draw attention, mascots make the event more lively, drawing media attention and boosting social media buzz as actors and fans interact and have fun posing for the camera. Mascots at launch parties or on the red carpet provide great photo opportunities and fun interactions, making the premiere memorable and entertaining for everyone.
