Garfield's Pet Force

[Raph's Girl]

Anybody seen this??? This is the 3rd movie in the series set in a world where the characters know they're fictional newspaper strip characters. The first one in the series was Garfield Gets Real (in which he and Odie have an adventure in the real world), and the 2nd one was Garfield's Fun Fest (in which he looses his sense of humour and goes to find a magic frog to get it back). Both films were pretty good and focused alot on his relationship with Arlene.

In this one there's 2 universe. Super Hero Comics and News Paper strips/Cartoons. It's about this super hero named Garzooka (Garfield with super powers) who must go to the cartoon world to recruit Garfield and his friends when his team (The Pet Force) are turned into zombies by an evil super villaness. The Pet Force just happens to be Nermals fave super hero group. Chaos (and lazyness on Garfield's part) ensuse. And like the previous ones Garfield learns a lesson. There's a bit of weirdness when Betty (the sex crazed assistant to the director of the comics and cartoons in Garfield's universe) falls head over heals with Garzooka (much to his annoyance. She admits she's desperate for ANY man) :lol:

The only real saving grace to this movie is Frank Welker voicing Garfield/Garzooka.

So I guess he never finds it?

I remember reading "Garfield's Pet Force" as a series of chapter books back when I was in the fifth grade...but this seems to be different than the storyline of that series...?

The thing is, his Garfield voice actually sounds like Frank Welker attempting a Lorenzo Music impersonation. It's eerie.

Huh...never heard of the book series but this film is part of it. It's just that the current Garfield animated stuff has the characters as KNOWING they're fictional. The main universe is Cartoon/News Paper comic world and then Pet Force is in Comic Book world. The 2 universes weren't aware the other was "real" till this film as Nermal is a comic book fan.

The movie didn't have all the characters from the books. No Campooky, or Emperor Binky. Also, Abnermal and Starlena have different powers from the books. I don't think Starlena being a siren would have worked for the film, which is why she now has an icy stare.

What the f*ck...

What the f*ck...

Trust me, I'd be saying the exact same thing if I wasn't at least slightly familiar with the storyline. Basically, it's all the Garfield characters with superpowers, saving Emperor Jon and the planet Polyester...a sci fi tinged parody of the comic strip. Even Pooky the teddy bear has superpowers...

From what I remember of the books I read back in grade school, this doesn't seem like a storyline worth putting in animated form...it was kind of cheesy, even for me at that age...

I feel like hosting a comic book burning.
