Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) Garfield is one of my favorite comics, and as a 24-year-old woman, I do not remember the other Garfield TV specials, except for the holiday ones; my favorite is Garfield's Halloween Adventure. I did bought the DVD "Garfield as Himself," which features the three TV specials : Here Comes Garfield (the first Garfield TV special), Garfield on The Town and Garfield Gets a Life. And after watching all three, I found I love Garfield on the Town the most.In this special, Garfield falls out of the car, on his way to the vet's office, and gets lost in the inner city. He tries to make the most of it until he runs into a gang of unfriendly alley cats that call themselves the Claws. Garfield confronts the gang leader, who then calls for the rest of his gang, to which Garfield runs away and ends up in an abandoned restaurant where he is reunited with his long lost mother. The building they are in used to be "Mama Leone's" Italian Restaurant, which is Garfield's birthplace and also where he discovered a love for lasagna. Garfield's mother takes him to see the rest of the family including his tough maternal grandfather, as well as his sickly half-brother Raoul and his cousin Sly, who is the security guard on watch for the Claws. Garfield is appalled to learn that everyone in the family are mousers. The Claws have tracked Garfield down and have surrounded the building, demanding Garfield come out for offending them. I love the animation for this special. It came from the famous Peanuts cartoon team of Bill Melendez and Lee Mendelson, giving it a similar look to the Peanuts cartoons. I also like Lou Rawls and Desiree Goyette doing the songs. And one last thing: I think Garfield's mom is pretty.

rebeljenn 'Garfield on the Town' was my favourite Garfield film. I saw it when I was very young, and I always felt very sad when Garfield goes back to the place where he was brought up as a kitten, and he remembers everything about this place (and his mother) and recalls how it used to be and how it has now changed. It's a very emotional scene, and you really do get to see another side to Garfield beyond the funny comments and the laid-back attitude.I don't think the film had too much more to offer, sadly, than this scene. At least, the rest of it is not very memorable. I first saw this when I was about five-years-old - when it was first on television. I saw it a few years after that, and besides the scene where Garfield visits his old place, I don't think it had much more to offer.I cannot say whether or not I recommend it. I can just state that I did enjoy it, and it was a very memorable film to me.

Movie Nuttball This is really a different Garfield animated film!It is quite emotional when the lasagna eating fat cat meets up with his mom!The short is very funny as is all Garfield cartoons.I really like the Garfield cartoons as they are some of My favorite animated cartoons!If you have a chance to see it don't pass it up because its very good!

dynamite_xi This is a great story that really takes Garfield back to his humble beginnings in an Italian restaurant.Garfield is separated from Jon after a battle NOT to visit the vet. Pretty soon he finds himself stranded in the middle of an urban jungle, filled with dangers hitherto unknown to him.After running into a gang of surly alley cats, Garfield hides out in an old building, where he meets his long, lost mother! After a brief reunion and a trip down memory lane, he meets his large family, who are known for being "mousers" (not Garfield's type).Later on, the evil cat gang finds Garfield, and a large fight ensues. The good cats win, and Garfield is faced with a dilemma: stay with his newfound family or go home. It has a good ending.I give this movie a 7 out of 10. Go Garfield!
