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

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.

Garfield the Cat (Voiced by Lorenzo Music) is preparing to go out on Halloween night including his buddy/rival Odie, they have a night of fun until they stumble into an old man's cabin where they will be invaded by pirate ghosts that will turn the night into a living horror.One of the best animated Halloween specials, i saw this at age 4 when it aired on CBS and it was quite spooky for a young boy. I still admire this great Halloween special featuring everyone's favorite comic strip feline.The animation here is very good even for it's time and it's one of the better Garfield specials with "His 9 Lives", "Thanksgiving" and "Christmas". This one is an adorable and hilarious special that i heartily recommend to everyone who loves Halloween.

One of my absolute favorite holiday specials. This is Garfield at his prime time best with music and songs, plot, jokes and general good natured sarcasm. The whole episode is quotable and you will find yourself singing the songs, I even find myself singing the song "What should I be" every Halloween or if I am making up a character in a video game. I also has some spookiness to it which every Halloween special should have , even if for kids. The voice actors do very well in their parts from Garfield and the gang to Binky and the old man (ooh shudder). If you've put off watching this episode for some reason, quit being a "scaredy cat" and go and watch this. Recommended for Garfield fans of all ages.

After a wake up call from Blinky the Clown on the TV. Garfield learns that today was Halloween, one of the few Holidays that he gives a care about. Just because he gets free candy.He dresses up as a pirate and brought Oddie along as his first mate because he wants twice as much candy to eat. It was quite a night for Garfield. And he was getting into the Pirate gig a lot.But things become wiry when they got on a boat to a distant island when things become slightly creepy.This is one of the few Garfield Holiday specials ever made. The animation improves slightly in this one. Specially when this was made 20 years ago. And it keeps itself entertaining for a good half an hour.It has the same running gags and open minded jokes from Garfield like in the other TV specials. A lot of the Garfield fans and Halloween fans consider this one a classic.
