‘The Garfield Movie’ is Another Animated Success for Sony 

Like many of you, I have fond memories of Garfield from my childhood. The local newspaper, a weekly source of news and entertainment in the Kitson household, would arrive at our doorstep, sparking a friendly competition among my siblings and me for the first dibs on the funny pages.
