Frank Welker has been the closest we've had to Lorenzo Music.
I like when movie animated companies keep the voice traditional. But sometimes when they don't it ticks me off I don't know why they do that especially for well known companies like cartoon network for example they take a character and it doesn't sound nothing like it. I understand if a voice actor dies or he gets older and the voice changes but you have no excuse and changing how they sound. Look at how many voice actors that are well known keep things accurate like jim cummings he's keeping it original he's not goofy off and playing around he's serious and actually doing a good job at voice actors but voice actors don't do that I get sick just thinking about it.
Frank welker is a voice actor legend honestly
No doubt
Although I'd say Bill Murray comes very close too. Just wish he was better directed.
Didn't he do it twice?
It's funny how Frank Welker can do cat meows and even do a Garfield. XD
Frank welker really brings the voices for animals!
@@mayracordero382 And can still do it today.
Lorenzo Music's voice of Garfield in the 80s and 90s is just amazing! Garfield is definitely my all-time favorite cartoon cat, along with Sylvester from Looney Tunes, Top Cat, Tom from Tom and Jerry, Felix the Cat, Cat from CatDog, and many other fictional cats that I adore.
Lorenzo is the best voice actor!
Lorenzo was a legend and I can’t imagine anyone else as this orange cat.
Lorenzo Music, Frank WELKER and even Bill Murray, are the best
Also, Lou Rawls vocals in 80s specials, are also iconic
My favourite one is Lorenzo Music.
"Show me a good mouser, and I'll show you a cat with bad breath."
That was the best funniest line!
The voice actors of Garfield are so awesome!
Lorenzo, bill, frank and even chris pratt are awesome as garfield!
Well, except for Chris Pratt. He was rubbish.
@@mayracordero382 im with you i enjoyed all of them frank probably my favorite
Lorenzo Music easily takes the cake here (or should I say lasagna; or both, whatever works). His performance just delivers the right amount of emotion all while making Garfield still sound relaxed, lazy and deadpan. Frank Welker comes in at a close second for mimicking Music's performance, which probably helps that they both worked together on "The Real Ghostbusters." Bill Murray also did a solid job and Chris Pratt's performance sounds okay, though he probably could've made the voice sound a little deeper and more tired.
Frank Welker is a legend of voicing Garfield, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Scooby Doo and Curious George too
frank welkers my favorite Garfield
I actually thought that was Lorenzo doing Garfield's singing voice. Lou sounds just like him
I remember Lorenzo Music doing his own singing as Garfield a couple of times like in the Halloween special. Still though, Lou Rawls was good on the occasions that he sung for Lorenzo.
Amen
Here's my ranking from best to not so best!
1. Lorenzo Music (duh)
2. Frank Welker (The best replacement for Lorenzo Music you could ask for. It sounds exactly like him)
3. Bill Murray (if Garfield had to be voiced be an A-list star, Bill Murray's definitely the best they could've picked)
4. Scott Beach (surprised how much I actually like Garfield's very first voice)
I like 1-4, I don't care for 5-7.
5. Chris Pratt (Not awful, but just kinda boring. Too normal)
6. Tom Smothers (Not sure what's going on here. Was Music just not available?)
7. John Barnard (The only real stinker on this list. It'd have been better if he tried doing his own thing, but instead it's just a really lousy Music impression)
I thought the exact same thing too, if they were to do a Garfield show based on the 70’s version with the realistic fat cat design, a Scott Beach soundalike would be awesome.
i agree i think chris pratt should have tried to have some of garfields older voice sound to it he has the lazy chill part down but i feel like the other had him speak softer of something
YES YOU FINALLY DID THIS!!!
3:39 is it just me, or is odie’s animation really smooth
I will love if Frank welker will have voice Garfield in this New movie and I love your videos so much keep up the good work man
I love these Garfield voice actors!
Me too and lorenzo and frank are wonderful!
@@mayracordero382 awesome voice actors!
Not chris patt
@@BrandanJohnness why?
@@TramiNguyen-oi3kp did you even hear his voice? It doesn't match Garfield at all, Zero effect for the act he is lazy not energetic
It's incredible that Garfield had a good number of voice actors over the years. My favorite voice actors of Garfield are as follows.
1: Lorenzo Music and Frank Welker.
2: Bill Murray.
3: Chris Pratt.
4: Scott Beach.
Those are the voice actors for Garfield that I'm familiar with, including Music and Welker. They really bring some life to the lazy, Monday hating, lasagna loving tabby cat.
alot dont like chris pratts version i did what did you like about his?
Thank you so much for posting this I have been a huge fan of Garfield ever since I was 2 years old and I still watch it I think I'm going to watch the entire series all over again. Thank you Dave you're the best. ❤❤❤ And also if you didn't know or if you don't recognize me but I'm the daughter of Amy Feliciano ❤
Tom Smother, Rest In Peace 😢
Far be it for me to be the "this is the end all be all" guy when it comes to voice actors. Actors pass on, actors retire and it's no one's fault if characters get recast and sound different. Garfield, however, WAS Lorenzo Music. I give all the credit in the world to everyone else that played him, Frank especially. He did a Garfield impression all the way back in the first episode of Garfield and Friends (the Hawaiian Cat Flu episode, coming out of a celebrity impersonating parrot). But so much of Garfield evolved around the casting of Music, especially the animated specials and original TV series. I like Frank's take, Bill Murray seemed like a perfect fit, but how the movie portrayed him was off, and Chris Pratt did a good enough job, despite the odd casting choice (he was better and more fitting as Mario). If there's anyone who I'd like to see take on the role, it's Bobby Moynihan (sp?). His role as Louie in Ducktales '17 proved he'd be a perfect match (especially the dream episode where he technically WAS Garfield for a few minutes).
Anyway, fun fact. While the Fabulous Funnies had someone else cast as Garfield, Thom Huge was Jon Arbuckle in those skits. Which is all the more interesting as someone else played him in the first proper special.
Bill Murray-I have seen the movies
Frenk Walker-The Garfield show is my favorite Garfield media
2:44-2:58: I really thought to point out on garfield in paradise: his mouth moves when he talks, but this is of course from the dream sequence. It is one of (if not the only one) that he actually speaks instead of a monologue.
A bit unusual…
Lorenzo Music was the best voice for Garfield I do agree that Frank is the best one since Music's passing.
Yes you did Garfield’s evolution the Garfield voice I like is Lorenzo music as Garfield
I think Frank welker still voices Garfield today maybe only in video games like Nickelodeon brawl/racing.
He is the current voice of Garfield
@@ivanhernandez9579 On new Show right? The New Garfield show.
@@caseysmith544 Idk
Yeah I heard he’s doing amazing as Garfield The Cat in Nickelodeon Games
He still does
Frank welker is my favourite actor
Same
@@jbsMUWcreations2089 same
6:15 if you haven't seen the movie, this sense would have been confessing out of contacts
1980s garfield was peak garfield
Did you know that Scott Beach also played the Divorce judge in Mrs Doutbfire?
I like Lorenzo Music, Frank Welker and Bill Murray as Garfield The Cat
Lorenzo Music: The Perfect Garfield
Chris Pratt: The Biggest insult to Garfield fans ever
Hey, Dave. I know you probably won't make a video on that, but have you seen Inside Out 2?
I saw it last evening and thought it was awesome.
I unfortunately haven’t had a chance to see it yet. Not attending any screenings at the moment given that we have a baby on the way in a few weeks and there’s been a large Covid surge in Melbourne. Better to be safe than sorry. Looking forward to seeing it!
@@DaveLeeDownUnder Ah, understandable. Hope you enjoy it when you do get to see it!
You are going off-topic.
That sure be Garfield’s voice(s), alright.!.!
1:26
1980-2024 technically.
I forgot how close Frank Welker and Lorenzo Music's voices for Garfield are so close. I lean a little more towards Lorenzo.
When I was little, I never knew him until I was ten, and neither did my mother.
Lorenzo Music was the absolute perfect voice and for me will always be the only Garfield.
oh my god LORENZO used always his real voice ahhhhhhhhh AND YES frank is as close as we will get to lorenzo doing garfield and lorenzo had a good habit of never letting us kids see what he looked like. we would of INCLUDING me wanted an autograph big time.
Can You Do Odie & Jon Next?
Lorenzo Music does Peter Venkman from Real Ghostbusters who talks and sounds like Garfield.
A lot of the Lorenzo Music clips sound sped up.
Can you do a ghostbusters evolution
Will you do a cartoon evolution on Cruella De Vill?
The difference between 3:12 and 3:18 is wild
Yo dave, did you see the new Nintendo Direct?
Are you gonna talk about Ryan’s world the movie titan universe adventure or no
Chris pratt:*crying*
Hey Dave
What Cartoon Evolution will you do next?
You forgot cartoon all stars to the rescue
And he also forgot Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl games.
❤❤❤❤
Hey Dave I like cartoon and anime
Garfield is 1 year 1day older then I am and I am 1 day older then the voice of Garfield in the newest movie
What about the voice evolution of Jon Arbuckle
Garfield
cooool
9:45Crist Pratt stick to Emmett
What about Mario
@@ivanhernandez9579 his Mario kinda stinks
@ryanwilkins2233 hey I thought his Mario voice was great
@@ivanhernandez9579 yeah
he should just stick to the live action in general. He has no vocal range
Honesty Lorenzo Music will always be Garfield but not going to lie Chris Pratt is good too my only complaint with Pratt is he doesn’t sound deep enough and is lacking in terms of tiredness overall i personally think Chris did a good job capturing Garfield’s sarcastic side
Lorenzo Music, Frank Welker and Bill Murray are the best for the character. They got the lazy Garfield voice.
Worst is "Chris Pratt". It's not that Chris is not good but it did not match with the classic voice of Garfield. Too different. Makes the Garfield character different.
i feel like chris's voice sounds too young and energetic at times he sound lazy but his voice seems so young even when trying not to be. but i enjoyed the movie and thought he did fine.
Will Jon,Liz,nermal,and odie be next
We loved to see an individual evolution on each Garfield character. Odie, Liz and Nermal has been portrayed by less than 5 voice actors, so it won't turn out be to great comparison video.
Odie’s been portrayed by Gregg Berger for years
Scott Beach:7.6/10
Lorenzo Music:10/10
Lou Rawls:8.9/10
Tom Smothers:5.5/10
Bill Murray:7.9/10
John Barnard:7.5/10
Frank Welker:10/10
Chris Pratt:7.9/10
Chris pratt garfield você is very diferent
yeah it’s awful
Chris Pratt is still a baffling choice for Garfield.
Chris pratt:oh……
He's funny.
Chris Pratt should redub the voice
Garfield is one of those characters where one voice actor did the job so well, everyone else sounds like an impression.
You’re so right here. Hilarious because they either sound like mediocre unprofessions, or like they’re not even trying at all lol.
Evolution of pink Panther please
What is with the hate of Jon Barnard's Garfield voice? I actually like it though it sounds a bit lousy.
Frank welker, lorenzo music and chris pratt are the best at voicing garfield!
I like how most of them are just doing a Lorenzo Music impression. That's how perfect he was for this role. No offense to Chris Pratt but his wasn't working for me. He's just kind of playing himself and it doesn't fit for Garfield. At least deliver the lines in a slow, bored-sounding voice, Chris!
I know where you live
Please
And I’m really hope
Sony will recast Chris Pratt
for the next sequel
Or else the sequel and the
franchise will be doomed
And get more hated by critics
And more negative reviews
And more negative scores
Given the film’s performance at the box office, I very much doubt it will get a sequel. Especially as Nickelodeon now owns the rights to the character - Sony can’t make another one.
@@DaveLeeDownUnder now it’s owned by Nickelodeon
My favourite childhood channel great so they will recast
Chris Pratt because His voice of Garfield it’s suck
And he doesn’t sound like Garfield to me
But I like the movie and I love three characters
Jon Vinx and Odie and I have my own review
On my community
@@DaveLeeDownUnder
The movie’s box office has gotten significantly better now. It has made $230 million dollars against a budget of $60 million and is the highest grossing Garfield film ever
@@Richard-3874too bad Chris Pratt can’t voice act for shit.
Please do the evolution of Dora the Explorer. I am going to die if this doesn’t happen.
No you won't. Quit exaggerating mate
I mean I will pass out
@@BrandonWalls789 He mentioned numerous times that he won't be doing Pre-K characters
Don’t be a hater. I love Dora the Explorer with all of my heart
@@BrandonWalls789 I don't have much against Dora in fact I found it fine enough when I was younger. It's his channel and he gets to do what he likes
Lorenzo Music WILL ALWAYS be the 1 & only Garfield to me. To me, Garfield died alongside him in 2001 cause nothing's... really been good TV/movie-wise since he's been gone. I still enjoy the comics though. I guess my ranking is this:
1. Lorenzo Music
2. Scott Beach
3. Bill Murray
4. Frank Welker
5. Tom Smothers
6. Jon Barnard
7. Chris Pratt
But like I said before, Lorenzo Music will ALWAYS be the 1 & 0NLY TRUE Garfield to me.
I know where you live. 🥴
Chris Pratt’s Garfield is garbage
