I'm kind of surprised I'm the only one here writing a review for this. This documentary aired on CBS three months before the animated Garfield show premiered on the same channel, so all the footage from the animated series was novel at the time. It's a perfect transition from the comics.

It's a great '80s movie for a cozy evening. You get to see Jim Davis and his drawing process, how they color the pictures, the whole team behind other Garfield art, dialogues between fellow animators, singers performing the songs, and even footage from a party dedicated to Garfield's 10-year anniversary.

A must-watch if you're a creator, like Garfield, or enjoy the '80s vibe. It was only released on VHS, but you can watch it now on YouTube.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.
