"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.

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.

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.

I am a Garfield fan and this is my favorite special with him in it. Garfield and Odie go Trick-Or-Treating and end up on an adventure. It is very amusing and should be enjoyable for anyone to watch, even people who don't like Garfield.
