Garfield's Thanksgiving Special (1989)

The eleventh TV Special for the self-important, self-indulgent, sarcastic fat cat takes place on Thanksgiving (obviously), a day of traditional gorging and belts under stress. But, worst luck, the food situation in the Arbuckle house isn't entirely Garfield-friendly.
There’s not a single second of wasted dialogue or unnecessary footage weighing the story down, And the parts that seemed schmaltzy to me as a kid now resonate a lot more agreeably as an adult.

A gun has been jumped, even considering Time Zones.

Punishment will be swift.

I'm armed with a box of crayons and will colour outside the lines. :)

...the shooter is a bit slow to the draw.
