Davis — Garfield, Odie, Jon, Arlene and the rest of the gang – yes,
Nermal, too – are gearing up for the town’s annual talent show,
Fun Fest. Having won every year, Garfield is convinced he can’t loose,
especially with his long-time sidekick Arlene in tow. But when Arlene steps
out with another partner, Garfield – not one for solo performances – sets
out with Odie on a quest to regain his lost humor mojo and get the funny
back before show time.
Now celebrating his incredible
30 th Anniversary, Garfield is one of the most beloved and enduring icons
with the most widely syndicated comic strips in the world – 263 million readers and counting – and
more than nine million DVDs sold to date. Garfield’s
Fun Fest, for ages 6-12,includes an exclusive
comic booklet by Jim Davis , DVD-ROM games “Destination Fun Fest” and “Tango
Toss” and more and will be available for the suggested retail price
of $19.98 U.S. / $21.98 Canada. Pre-book is July 9.
Presented by Paws, Incorporated and in association with The Animation
Picture Company/Davis Entertainment, Garfield’s Fun Fest,
like its successful predecessor Garfield Gets Real (now
available on DVD) was executively produced and written by Garfield creator
Jim Davis, directed by Mark A.Z. Dippe, co-directed by Kyung Ho Lee and
produced by John Davis and Brian Manis. Garfield’s Fun
Fest is a Paws, Incorporated Production in association with
Wonderworld Studios.
SYNOPSIS:
Garfield, long-running champion
of the Fun Fest talent show, believes he can’t lose. Problem is, his sidekick (and girlfriend) Arlene wants
to change the act. When Garfield refuses, Arlene hooks up with a suave,
narcissistic newcomer, Ramon, for a show-stopping Tango. Not one for solo
performances, Garfield loses his humor mojo! With hours ticking away till
showtime, Garfield, with pal Odie in tow, sets out to find the Holy Grail
of Guffaws -- the magic pond of funny water within the Mystical Forest
he read about in a fairy tale storybook. On a journey filled with riddles,
jokes, quirky characters and a comedy guru (Freddy the Frog, the very first
funny…anything!), can Garfield learn the lessons of true comedy
and make it back in time to capture first prize and win Arlene back?
