When 9Story acquired Garfield and Friends on May 25th, 2016, They decided to remastered the series with its HD treatment and made in widescreen version, with the intro been reanimated in Toon Boom by Glenn Zimmerman, in which the original version of the intro (done by Kevin Petrilak) was too low to upscale from the VHS master.
This, for example, comes from my personal favourite episode "The Genuine Article", where Garfield meets Gabriel who acts like him. In this scene right here, Garfield is afraid that Gabriel might stole his girl, his own show and even worse, his own merchandising (most famously the Stuck on You toy that it was stuck inside car windows).
It became one of my personal favourite episodes of all time alongside "The Garfield Rap", "The Guy of Her Dreams", "Garfield's Garbage Can and Tin Pan Alley Revue", "The Garfield Musical", "Snow Wade and the 77 Dwarfs", "Peace and Quiet", "Cute for Loot", "The Feline Philosopher" "A Tall Tale", "The Life and Times of the Lasagna Kid", "Garfield Goes Hawaiian", "Monday Misery", "Five Minute Warning", "Mistakes Will Happen", "Astrocat" and "The Garfield Opera".
According to Jim Davis, "This is the first time we’ve awarded the rights to a single distribution partner who will handle all markets and all platforms."
Here is a side by side comparison of Garfield and Friends on its original and remastered versions of this scene from The Genuine Article.
I own nothing.
