"Garfield in Disguise" is a 24-minute television short movie from 30 years ago and is also known as "Farfield's Halloween Adventure". The 1980s are not particularly known for great cartoons or short films, so these Garfield movies may be among the best there is. Awards bodies seem to agree as this one here won an Emmy back then. Garfield and Odie decide to go out trick-or-treating and basically meet ghosts and spooky creatures during the entire movie. These poor two. However, there is a happy ending when, for whatever reason, our duo is stranded on a remote island, but manages to get two big bags full of candy. Still, the last scene shows that Garfield has enough of being a pirate for a while. Maybe until next Halloween. I think Lorenzo Music is really great as usual and his voice was perfect for Garfield. Still, I must say that I cannot like this little movie as much as I love the comics. Nonetheless, this was a good, occasionally spooky, watch and I recommend it with Halloween 2015 coming up.
... View More'Garfield in Disguise' is the Halloween special for Garfield fans. Again, this is another film from my childhood that I have not seen in years, so I'm taking a shot at trying to remember as much as I can. Like all Garfield films, there were plenty of funny scenes and comical dialog from Garfield. The two pets (Garfield and Odie) end up trick-or-treating and getting more than they bargained for in a haunted house. I don't really know what went on from there - the film did remind me a little bit like a Scobby Doo episode, and I suppose that they were trying to go for that.I remember enjoying this when I was younger, but I cannot remember anything more! I'd recommend it. Why don';t they show these specials anymore during Halloween?
... View MoreSuch a wonderful way to ask for candycandycandycandy. Well it's Garfield's way. And candy he certainly gets in this wonderful Halloween Special. It all starts on one cozy Halloween morn with Garfield waking to the sound of the TV. Normally he'd be irate at waking so early but when he learns what day it is he cannot wait to go trickortreating and get his paws on some candycandycandycandy!He and Odie dress as pirates and go off on an adventure that happens to involve the ghosts of REAL pirates and real buried treasure. In the course of these brilliant 25 minutes we get the typical assortment of great Garfield humor and wonderful songs.If only the movie were this good.
... View More"Garfield's Halloween Adventure" is a great show for young children to watch any time of the year. It is just the right length in time and the funny dialogue of Garfield is enough to keep children entertained. The story at the start shows Garfield's lack of morals through his desire for Halloween candy, but as the story progresses, so does he.Since this is a somewhat old children's show (this show was made in 1985), one or two random parts may be viewed as too scary, but it's all part of the fun. I personally first saw this show over twelve years ago, but I can watch it over and over again even today, without fast forwarding any of it, which is hard to say for anything I watch multiple times. Overall, this is a great show and I recommend it to everyone who loves Garfield, Halloween or candy.
