This is of my best memories from my childhood.
Garfield cartoons, and especially this first one. The animation was quite good. The motion and backgrounds was good. Plus those people that made all these early Garfield-cartoons, where made by Phil Roman, they later Animated "The Simpsons".
In this fabulous cartoon, we start of with Garfields usual ego, he is mean to Odie, and eats a lot of Lasagne.
But then Odie gets caught, and Gafield has to save him.
At the first look-on the story is very base, but when you watched it as a kid, it gets very catchy. It also helps that Lorenzo Music (R.I.P.) does a very good job as Garfield, and also the guy who narrated Jon (who only did it in the first cartoon). But then the excellent score kicks in, making the whole story very compelling. Garfield tries to rescue Odie, but gets imprisoned in the process. In the impound, the pets have to get sold, or else they get executed. Then the most sad thing happens, Odie gets taken away to get executed. And then the music sets in (a song named "Goodby my friend"), a very sad song, when Garfield and Odie gets pulled apart. It was very sad back then, and even more sad now, 18 years later. I almost cried, when i saw that scene again. But it is a cartoon, of course it all ends well, of course Odie survives, who else should Garfield be mean to?
Garfield gets out, and organises the rest of the imprisoned pets to rally to his cause, and riot against their captures. Garfield finally frees Odie, and all is well.
I love this cartoon, so help me God.
