Internet sensation Grumpy Cat opens up on 'Good Morning America.'
Web sensation Grumpy Cat has millions of adoring fans, a new book, and now, a movie deal.
The grouchy feline, real name Tardar Sauce, became a viral hit last September when owner Tabatha Bundesen and brother Bryan began posting photos of her on Reddit.

Since then, the sour-faced kitty won Meme of the Year at the 2013 Webby Awards, and signed on with talent manager Ben Lashes.
According to Deadline, Grumpy Cat sold a film option to a new "Garfield-like" family comedy. In the proposed flick, produced by the team behind 2011's "Jack and Jill," Grumpy Cat will be given the power of speech, presumably so she can spread all that snark around.
