CSGarfield

The well-known and beloved movie that comes throughout every Halloween is here! Whether you're seeing Linus and Sally awaiting for The Great Pumpkin's arrival in the sincerest pumpkin patch, Snoopy in combat from World War I, or just Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts gang trick-or-treating for candy or rocks, you'll have one of the great experiences yet. Don't worry, this special has no language, violence, nudity, sexual, racist, or any other nonsensical issues involved, cause Charlie and the Peanuts gang are here just for good clean fun. This is a classic that everyone in the family can enjoy, so just sit back and have fun for this sensational delight!

This show was great with just about everything. The story follows very well to the comic books that started the web-slinger off. Okay, there are a few differences, like how the Green Goblin is more of a bank robber, or the whole new character/lacking character thing, and how they had common things happen like Pluto aliens and mole-men from what I hear, but this IS a DIFFERENT UNIVERSE, therefore those aren't mistakes or whatever. The animation even I wouldn't say is the BEST example, like with repeating scenes and limitations, but it was good for it's time. Don't listen to the posters who said it's even worse than the ones made at the same time, it's actually much more comfortable to watch than most of the shows that are on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, I'd rather watch this Spider-Man series than Pokemon, to be honest. Especially since Pokemon has been obliterated of potential since it multiplied into all sorts of insidious variations, just like Power Rangers. Good thing Garfield, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Transformers have known where the fine line is and usually avoid crossing it.

The theme song is the original and great, just like with Ninja Turtles. The animation is quite reminiscent to ones like Scooby Doo and Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. I only saw four episodes of this, since I manage to get them as the bonus episodes on the '94 series videos/DVDs. The Origin of Spider-Man, King Pinned, The Triumph of Dr. Octopus, and Magic Malice were all done very well though. Quite interesting that one of the producers was Ralph Bakshi, who also did the animated Hobbit/Lord of the Rings movies (aside from the live action ones by Peter Jackson).

Bottom Line: All in all, this is a series worth searching for. There's also a '67 series, which looks good put has quite a price on your wallet, but if you have the money, you shouldn't regret it!
