Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

gizmomogwai Jim Davis counted getting Garfield on TV as a highlight of his career; surely he must also have been pleased when the fat cat became part of Halloween tradition. Garfield in Disguise (or Garfield's Halloween Adventure) was a TV special that could be watched every year.In it, Garfield brings Odie along for trick-or-treating, collecting large amounts of beloved candy while dressed as pirates. Then they stumble upon an old house, where an old man warns them real pirate ghosts are coming.Occasionally the jokes and songs are cheesy- for example, the song over the opening credits. A couple of times when Garfield is scared, he is curiously slow to react. Still, this special has some pretty good moments. When they're out trick-or-treating they discover real monsters and a ghost are out with them, which is fun and foreshadows the supernatural plot twist to come. The old man is creepy and the pirate ghosts are fun. Odie's sneeze, and Garfield and Odie's grins, are a funny moment. Note that the book version of this special has an added ghost scene at the end, which unfortunately doesn't appear here. Still, Garfield in Disguise is a Halloween treat.

Silvaine J. Brown The main reason I watched this episode recently was because I remembered the main song Garfield sang as a pirate. This is a really entertaining episode, that can amaze a child, and can transport people who used to watch Garfield in time and remember the magic there used to be in old cartoons (opposed to actual anime and other poor cartoons which have no magic at all).It is also surprising how the story develops, the original horror story the old man tells Garfield and Odi and the adventures they encounter. Another great characteristic about this old cartoons is that they had a great use of expressions, with impressive details, which from my point of view are art in the form of entertainment.

gunsnroses628 Let me just start by saying that to this very day, I hold this cartoon to be one of the scariest I have ever seen. For months after first seeing it, I would wake up screaming, thinking of that old man. But in addition to being creepy, the show is also very artistically drawn. The storyboard is also solid. I can identify with the never-ending pursuit for candy. I wouldn't row to the other side of the lake for candy, but Garfield and Odie would. Maybe that is why I loved this special so much; It brings back find memories of trick-or-treating. The pursuit of candy far outweighed actually eating the stuff. For whatever the reason, this and the Garfield Christmas Special hold a special place in my heart. PS, I still break out in a cold sweat every time I think about that old man rowing away in the boat and the ghosts coming

Shawn Watson Such 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.
