Happy Birthday, Garfield

Happy Birthday, Garfield is a 1988 American television special produced by Paws, Inc. Sponsored by fast-food chain McDonald's, the special is a documentary dedicated to the 10th anniversary of Garfield, featuring clips of people connected to the strip (including Jim Davis, the creator of the franchise as a whole), and clips of various animated Garfield media alongside behind-the-scenes footage, such as brief clips featuring the characters in The Fantastic Funnies, a recording session for Garfield and Friends, songs for the television specials (such as one for the cancelled Garfield's Judgment Day), and even international dubs for Here Comes Garfield and Garfield Goes Hollywood.

The special first aired on May 17, 1988 on CBS, with a premiere in the UK on February 24, 1989. A VHS release for the special was released in the latter country, but it has never been released afterwards.
