Thanksgiving

 Garfield's Thanksgiving, though technically not part of Garfield and Friends, deserves some recognition, what with the limited amount of Thanksgiving-themed specials and movies there are as it is.

By this point, the Garfield specials had tackled Halloween and Christmas. It only made sense to explore one of Garfield's natural favorites -- Thanksgiving! Though arguably the weakest of the trio, Garfield's Thanksgiving delivers plenty of fun for fans.

The interesting thing about this special is that it takes a different direction in focusing on Jon mores o than Garfield. True, a prominent part of the story involves Garfield's diet coinciding with Thanksgiving (the horror!), but the main plot is actually more about Jon's attempt to impress Liz on a Thanksgiving dinner date.

Of course Jon sucks at cooking (as viewers of the TV series saw a year earlier), so Grandma comes to the rescue at the last minute and secretly saves the day. What a woman.

Though it probably won't join the ranks of its Peanuts companion any time soon, Garfield's Thanksgiving is a fun annual rewatch.

I can do without that sappy dinner song though.

Happy Thanksgiving folks, and don't forget to jog off those Thanksgiving bellies the next morning!

  1. This sounds interesting! On the topic of good Thanksgiving specials, I just watched The Loudest Thanksgiving yesterday and it's pretty funny and unique. I want to try making the marshmallow mashed potatoes Rita made sometime!
