《开心西游记》是一套适合所有年龄人群的新颖动画片，又名《夺宝幸运星》 与原版《西游记》相一致，《开心西游记》歌颂了孙悟空不畏强暴、机智勇敢、百折不挠的斗争精神，此外，还秉承了原著的童话风格，无论是七十二变的孙猴子、懒惰贪吃的猪八戒，还是各显神通的神仙妖魔，都充满了神奇的幻想色彩。 作为风趣幽默的另类动画片，《开心西游》既忠于原著，却又与洋洋洒洒数十万字的原著有不同的表现形式。欣赏《开心西游记》，色彩鲜艳、节奏明快的分幅卡通，简洁生动、极富个性的人物造型和环环相扣、丰富紧凑的故事情节不禁让人开心一笑。更重要的是，该动画片借助于彩色图画的表现力，将原著中以文字表现的神化了的人物和环境描写生动地呈现在观众的眼前. 目前市场上对古典名著的改编、浓缩版可谓五花八门，在保持原著艺术美感的同时，融入富有时代气息的现代语言和视觉元素，是《开心西游记》有别于以往各个版本的《西游记》动画的特色之处。作品中的几位主人公可谓“酷”形“酷”态。就是在如此搞笑、幽默的包装点缀下，原著中的人物性格特点通过情节的层层深入、动感画面的铺开以及个性十足的人物语言和肢体动作得到了淋漓尽致地展现。 开心西游记根据kizi<嘻游记>改编

In this season, the show went back to airing one new episode a week, but stayed in the hour-length format, filling up the second half-hour with episodes from previous seasons and some of the prime-time specials from the 1980s. This entire season, along with the second half of season 6, is available on Garfield and Friends: Volume 5 DVD set. Also worth noting is that here, a new theme song was added that was written by J.R. Johnston and Neil Panton. The theme was sung by J.R. Johnston. This theme song was not shown internationally, and as a result, it does not appear on the DVDs (although Garfield's quotations are kept intact). This new introduction sequence used most clips from Seasons 5-7 and a few from the first two seasons, as well as Garfield in Paradise and Garfield's Feline Fantasies. The episodes stopped using a few seconds of the theme playing in the episode title cards after season seven's fourth episode; music from the episodes were used in the title cards until the show ended, even though season six used music from some of their episodes.
