"Night of the Bunny Slippers" is the fifth episode in the second season of The Garfield Show.

Plot

Aunt Ivy stays at Jon's house after her power line is destroyed by a fallen tree branch. She eventually develops a fear of Jon's bunny slippers after watching a horror movie. The fear continues to mount when the blue moon outside causes the bunny slippers to come to life.

Why It Rocks

  1. Aunt Ivy's reason of her moving into Jon's house is relatable, due to a tree falling on the power line outside her house.
  2. Having bunny slippers as scary monsters is original and creative, but it was even better when Garfield and Odie prank Aunt Ivy by making Jon's slippers come to life - scaring her out of the house.
    • Aunt Ivy's screaming is also satisfying due to herself mistreating Jon, Garfield and Odie for no reason & having an unnecessary "no pets inside during bedtime" rule.
  3. "Hey, you guys deserve an oscar for the best special effect" - Garfield congratulating the mice.
  4. Some continuity is present from the season 1 episode, "Virtualodeon", when Jon recognizes the mad scientist who sucked Garfield into the TV set and said he was the one who did so.
    • Garfield even did a fourth wall break after Jon recognized said mad scientist by saying "The animators are reusing another character design from last season".
  5. The way Garfield shrank the bunny slippers back to normal was very clever, as he used one of the tanning beds from the All-Night Tanning Salon to blind them.
  6. Good Ending: When the bunny slippers shrink back to normal due to the ultra brightness, Garfield concludes his story to the other cats and said the next day, the police officers went door to door collecting every pair of bunny slippers in town - and Aunt Ivy decides to never go to Jon's again. And it ends with Garfield and the cats getting chased by the slippers, again.

The Only Bad Quality

  1. Aunt Ivy is somewhat an intolerable and mean-spirited character, as she mistreated Jon, Garfield and Odie for no reason and forced the pets to sleep outside.

Reception

It holds a rating of 7.4/10 on IMDB.
