This sometimes funny and sometimes emotional animated retelling of the book of the same name follows the nine lives that Garfield the cat had lived throughout history, often as himself but sometimes as a completely different looking cat. The live action introductory segment "In the Beginning" follows two angels who wonder why God gave nine lives to cats of all creatures. "Cave Cat" follows Garfield as a prehistoric cat-Neanderthal, as well as the evolutionary path that led to him. In "King Cat", Garfield is the sacred pet cat of the Egyptian pharaoh. When Garfield learns in shock that if the pharaoh dies, his cats get buried with him, he tries everything he can to prevent his master's assassination. "In the Garden" follows Garfield as a cute innocent kitten who lives playing with his young mistress in her uncle's beautiful garden all day long. However, her uncle warns them never to open a mysterious chest that lies in the garden. In "Court Musician", a king demands that Handel, a local composer, writes a wonderful concerto for him. Since the king might punish him if he doesn't end up liking the piece, Handel sends his pet cat and apprentice Garfield to play it for the king. "Stunt Cat" follows Garfield as a professional stunt-cat, who doubles for famous Krazy Kat. However, one of the stunts doesn't go as planned. In "Diana's Piano", Garfield is a beautiful female cat called Diana, who enjoys resting on top of a piano while her talented young mistress Sara practices. The two make a life-long bond through music. The next segment, "Lab Animal", is the most serious and darkest segment as it follows Garfield as one of the frightened lab animals, who are about to become test subjects. Subject 19-GB, as he's called in the lab, tries to make a daring desperate escape from the facility. The next story "Garfield" focuses on his current life with Jon and Odie and shows how they all met. The final story "Space Cat" is set in the future and follows Garfield and Odie as two astronaut animals, who try to find a way to fight back and save themselves when a mad commander called Mendelson and his IHGWF (Incredibly Huge Galactic War Fleet) threaten to blow up their shuttle. After having spent all of his nine lives, Garfield, in the epilogue, finally meets God - with surprising results.

User Review - 10/10 by Cave%20 Cthe epitome of envy is something that we can all seek in are hearts if we look down into the dismal abyss ahead of ourselves, with idealisms brought fourth by the cinematic whimsy of Garfield His 9 Lives (1988). within a short distance on the epic trek that lie awaiting in this film, one finds self loathing in the realization that our dear feline friend is demeaned to a position of that of countless and brutal slaughterings found only in this film. not only is this kind of gore present, but one can find no solace in the constant pressure of religious expectations for the viewers of the film, shown although in moderation, but never the less this kind of publisher mentality is that that plagues our youth in a way thats substantial enough to break the psyche of even the most developed of minds. but with respect to the careful writing and animation of the film; along side of gifted voice actors. allowing our life long animated friend to live on through a deus ex machina of sorts. i believe its safe to say that this film will go down in history as one of our nations greatest films, and i hope others will use this film as a benchmark for many films to come sincerely, Cave Cat
User Review - 10/10 by I don't know w"Garfield: His 9 Lives" is a movie that suprised me. It was only an hour long, but it left a big impact on me. The comedy is great, the story is extremely clever, the characters are gold, and it combines drama with comedy in an outstanding way. Now, I wouldn't usually be watching movies like this, but a few days ago I was flipping through Teletoon retro, and I saw this. "Why Not?", I asked myself as I sat down on my couch to watch this, and it surpassed my expectations by a landslide. As well, this is the very first movie I watched with multiple stories, not just one. The main purpose of this movie is to show the 9 lives of our favorite cat, Garfield. So, I shall review them all, right here. Enjoy! In the Beginning: This is not one of Garfields nine lives, it's just basically something to get the plot going, and for people to understand the movie itself. It basically shows angels deciding to give cats 9 lives. It's a very surreal scene, filled with a shaky camera and God himself in a distorted form. It's extremely well done and memorable. It's short, but begins our story. 10/10. Cave Cat: This is the first life of Garfield, where it shows the "History" of the cat, from the evolution to taming. It's done well, it has the humor and animation down, but it's not really a stand-out story. I guess that wasn't the intention though. 7/10. King Cat: This is the second life, which focuses more on slapstick comedy. Yet suprisingly, it's done really, REALLY well! It's not perfect, it has flaws, but it was a story that doesn't sound amazing on paper, but really suprises you on how funny and well written it is. Definitely not one to skip. 9/10. In the Garden: Honestly, I want to hate this one. I want to pick out every little flaw it has. However, I do admit, it has one of the BEST jokes in the whole special, near the end. The story itself done very surreal like, with the animation bouncy and shiny. However, it lacks memorable qualities, and it's dumb too. Skip this one, at least until the end. 3/10. Court Musician: This one was pretty good. It's not very memorable, unlike the ones coming up, but it was smart and sophisticated. If you want to skip another story, go for this one, but it's still well done. 6/10. Stunt Cat: This was the shortest one of all. He's a stunt double for "Krazy Kat", and I think you know the ending for this one. It's a simple joke, but pulled off well. Has a bit of atmosphere too, if you care for it. 7/10. Diana's Piano: I honestly love this one. It's the best of the 9 lives. It's all hand painted, and it's where Garfield gained his love of music. It's basically about Sara, a young girl who receives a cat, Diana (The only obvious life of Garfield that's female). It's done extremely well, and the ending is suprisingly sad. It lacks humor, but it's not supposed to have humor. It's just supposed to be a sad end to the love between a girl and her cat. You won't laugh, but you'll probably tear up. 10/10. Lab Animal: A nice and short life of Garfield. Filled with intensity and action, this one you won't wanna miss. 8/10. Garfield: The beginning of the Garfield we know of. It's simple but it has, well, Garfield! It doesn't have many flaws, so it's basically a short you can sit down and enjoy. Most Garfield fans will enjoy this one. 9/10. Space Cat: This is an awesome one. It basically has all the tension from Lab Animal, all the comedy from King Cat, and all the story from Diana's Piano. It's not the best, but it's incredibly entertaining, and since you're knowing this is his last life, you're really hoping he makes it out OK. Definitely another one you should watch. 10/10. Epilogue: This one is just awesome. Garfield and Odie (Odie has 9 lives too? Weird, but oh well) are sent to the distorted God from the beginning. I cannot spoil anything, but it's funny, surreal, and it's not one of the 9 lives, but it's one of the best parts of the special. Don't leave before this one. Trust me. 10/10. So, there you go. Now, just to be nice, I'll order these from best to worst: 1. Diana's Piano 2. Epilogue 3. In the Beginning 4. King Cat 5. Garfield 6. Lab Animal 7. Cave Cat 8. Stunt Cat 9. Court Musician 10. In the Garden So, it's a great special, check it out! 10/10. P.S More reviews to come soon!
User Review - 8/10 by Liz KThis probably deserves five stars, as it really is quite good... but the life with the female cat and the piano... oh my god I dont think anything in the world makes me cry so hard.
