Dialogue Garfield is dry, in contrast to the frequent enthusiasm of his companions. Rang true to the comic.
Aesthetic Cartoony, with google eyes and puffy paws. Distinctive orange color. Garfield was computer-animated and voiced by Murray. He looked a little plastic. The rest was live-action.
Ambiance Bright, suburban. Sitcom suburbia.
Audience Huge. Guinness lists Garfield as the world’s most popular syndicated comic, currently in about 2,500 newspapers worldwide. Beyond the papers, the cartoon cat has appeared in books, television shows, stuffed-toy form, a zillion licensed items, and as a balloon in the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade. Not a U.S. hit, though worldwide is more than recouped its $50 million budget, taking in $200 million.
Cool Factor In an ironic way Low
Cheese Factor Mozzarella (from lasagna, get it?)
