Chinese Garfield buffs can soon catch the naughty fat cat on screen this Friday again in the sequel Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties.
The first installment was criticized for its weak script. This time around, the fat cat will tour London and meet a twin-like cat.
Bill Murray returns as the voice of Garfield in this follow-up and Billy Connolly as the another cat in the English version.
In the Chinese version, veteran dubbing actor Liu Feng from the Shanghai Film Dubbing Studio dubbed for both of the two cats.
Some hip words often used by young people in Chinese have been adapted into the dialogue between the two cats.
The movie has already expanded into 31 markets and scored an overseas total gross of US$22.8 million.
