The DVD of the animated version of cartoon strip Garfield has been released – just as many critics demanded when instead it was launched on the big screen last summer. This is the tale of a lazy, lasagne-loving moggie who initially resents the arrival of a dog at his owner’s home. But when the pooch is kidnapped, Garfield (voiced by Bill Murray), leads the rescue.
It’s true that the humour is stale but unlike you, your little ones are unlikely to recognise the storylines and gags borrowed from other, better movies. Adults will be scratching the furniture but cute and cuddly entertainment for under eights.
