Descriptive Text: Garfield

Garfield is a fat orange cat with black stripes in all its body, has big eyes, pink nose, yellow mustache and a very peculiar attitude.
It’s very lazy, loves to sleep all day long, when it’s awake its favorite activity is to eat in big quantities, loves the lasagna (like me hahaha) and when it’s satisfied with the food, it watches a lot of tv and makes fun of Jon, its owner, and his unlucky love life and Odie a yellow dog that always does stupid things.

This cat doesn’t consider itself like a pet, always shows human feelings and concerns about themes like: overweight and aging. It personality is sometimes grumpy but most of the time it is sarcastic, selfish and superior to others. It is very smart and tries to get what it wants with the less work possible.

Narrative Text: Tim Burton and Johnny Deep


Timothy William Burton (California, August 25, 1958) is a director, film producer and writer born in United States.

Most of the films that he has directed have been marked by two aspects: visually, for to do reference to fantastic themes with dark and gothic elements, narrative, describing stories with enigmatic characters as protagonists.
In 1979 he was hired by the Disney Studios, time which he began to write and draw one of his most successful movies
The Nightmare before Christmas. In 1982 he made his first stop-motion animated short film, Vincent and two years later in 1984, he premiered his second short film which began to attract the attention of some films producers. The next year, he directed his long film Pee-wee's Big Adventure.

In the same year that Burton made his second short film, 1984, John Christopher Deep II (June 9, 1963), known as Johnny Deep began his film career in the United States acting as Glen Lantz in the movie Nightmare in Elm Street' directed by Wes Craven. His popularity reached for his role of the young police Tommy Hanson in "21 Jump Street", American series premiered in 1987 and which was 5 years on the air.

Deep always has been interested in special characters, different and odd that’s why he has collaborated with Tim Burton in six films: Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the chocolate factory, Corpse bride and Sweeny Todd, they have a great connection in the set as a director and actor respectively and their fascination for the stories out of common has originated a lot of hits in the big screen in the last years.

The combination of these two artists has always been satisfactory for the fans of both. They’re good friends and it’s very probable that they continue working together for many years, already they have a new project in pre-production it’s the adaptation of the novel Alice in wonderland, this film will have the 3-D technique and Johnny Deep will play the role of the mad hatter, this will be the seventh time that Burton and Deep will work together, the film will premiered tentatively in March 2010 so the fans have to wait a little bit to see that movie in theaters.
