"Here Comes Garfield" may only be a 24 minute short with fairly crude animation, and some of the plot contrivances are silly, but I can say without a doubt that it is among the most heartbreakingly sad movies I have ever seen in my life.
If you've seen this, you know what I'm talking about. The first time I watched this, when it came to the near ending when Garfield is reminiscing about his good times with Odie while the song "So Long, Old Friend" plays, I cried harder than I've ever cried in my life.
In this movie, Garfield learns what it means to have a true friend, even if you don't always treat those friends as well as you should.
Yes, the movie has a happy ending, but somehow it doesn't take away from the pain of those few minutes. I can say without doubt that "So Long, Old Friend" is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life, and the fact that it's not famous baffles me.
In case you can't tell, this is a positive review. Any "Garfield" fan needs this in their collection, but make sure to have the tissues ready when you get to that one scene.
