n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

This is another Halloween TV Special I love and it's my favorite Garfield holiday special. Garfield's Halloween is also the first Garfield holiday special too. Well the story starts with Garfield and Odie, dressed as pirates on Halloween night, and went off tricking-or-treating. Then by a river dock, Garfield spied a row-boat and houses across the river, and thought they could row across the river to the houses to get more candy. But the row-boat took Garfield and Odie down the river, and landed them on an island with an old house on it. Inside the house, they meet a spooky old man who tells them that the house is haunted by pirate ghosts who buried a treasure under the house 100 years ago, vowing to come back for it that very night.So anyway I love this Halloween special and I loved how Lou Rawls sang the "trick or treat" song, he's got an awesome singing voice; the other songs are catchy too.

For a Halloween special, "Garfield in Disguise" (or "Garfield's Halloween Adventure") practically has it all: comedy, adventure, peril, and a scary-looking old man who tells of pirate ghosts that return every Halloween. As a Garfield holiday special, it does very well in conveying the spirit of the holiday--better, I think, than either "Garfield's Thanksgiving" or "A Garfield Christmas," which are also good. For Halloween, this means spooky stories and "candy, candy, candy." This special captures the best of the comic strip's humor and combines it with a frightening Halloween experience for Garfield and Odie, who put themselves in jeopardy while they are out trick-or-treating. The moments that could be scary for kids are very well offset with humor to keep things from getting too tense. There are even a few original songs that are pretty good (even catchy) and well-suited to the moments when they occur. Garfield also manages to show a bit of his kinder side in the end, however reluctantly. In my opinion, this is the quintessential Garfield special, and one of the best ever Halloween specials.

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.

Such a wonderful way to ask for candycandycandycandy. Well it's Garfield's way. And candy he certainly gets in this wonderful Halloween Special. It all starts on one cozy Halloween morn with Garfield waking to the sound of the TV. Normally he'd be irate at waking so early but when he learns what day it is he cannot wait to go trickortreating and get his paws on some candycandycandycandy!He and Odie dress as pirates and go off on an adventure that happens to involve the ghosts of REAL pirates and real buried treasure. In the course of these brilliant 25 minutes we get the typical assortment of great Garfield humor and wonderful songs.If only the movie were this good.
