It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Pros: Characterization, plots, soundtrack, a timeless classic.

Cons: Limited 2-D Animation...it was the 60's, baby!

The Bottom Line: Yes Linus, there is a Great Pumpkin.

Review: I’m going to try and get all three of these posted tonight, but I may be slowed down somewhat because of my Jedi robes. Although technically I’m still a Padawan, and not a full Jedi Knight, I hope I’ll do well enough to impress Master Yoda and the other ...

Pros: great story, characters resonate on many levels, good side stories

Cons: they don't make 'em like this anymore

The Bottom Line: Who really would give out rocks on Halloween? At least toss the kid some pennies. Sheesh!

Review: When I think of my memories of the Halloweens in my childhood, one thing that comes to mind is watching It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. This is classic Peanuts at it’s finest, topped only by A ...

Pros: Wonderfully fun and delightfully animated.

Cons: At just 25 minutes in length, perhaps too short.

The Bottom Line: It's the Peanuts Gang, a must see for fans of the late Charles Shultz.

Review: The animated It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is the talented work of Peanuts comic strip creator, Charles Schultz. And it is definitely a childhood favorite of mine from years past. First broadcast on television in the sixties (1966),...

Pros: Two great stories with the Peanuts gang

Cons: No extras

The Bottom Line: It takes loving the characters, but those who do will love it.

Review: I didn't grow up watching this cartoon every year on TV. In fact, I just saw it for the first time last year. However, I liked it immediately because of my love for the Peanuts gang. There are several story threads, but no one overall story. The ...

Pros: adorable Halloween classic

Cons: short

Review: As the remaining days of October begin to dwindle, the ground is a blaze of crunchy color as the Peanuts gang shuffles off to school. Against this beautiful autumn backdrop, Charlie Brown and his friends prepare to celebrate Halloween. While Charlie...

Pros: Are you kidding? This is the classic Halloween tale.

Cons: Too short

The Bottom Line: One of the best Halloween specials of all time. Great for everyone in the family.

Review: Charles M. Schultz was, indeed, a genius. In fact, animated specials such as It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown remind us all of why he's missed. In terms of holiday classics, this one has the market cornered when it comes to "must see"...

Pros: Wonderfully animated video, fun for all ages

Cons: It's the Peanuts can there be one.

The Bottom Line: A wonderful video the choices epinions gives you for the suitability of children is strange this video is great for children of all ages including this 34 year old.

Review: Well, this is my 50th review what to do to celebrate, I know for some you may say big deal, to me it is. When I first happened onto Epinions I really didn’t think I would enjoy it as much as I have. I thought it would be work, it may take time but it’s...

Pros: a fun movie for the family to watch, a great tradition, everything about it.

Cons: the great pumpkin never comes.

The Bottom Line: This is a wonderful movie for children of all ages to enjoy.

Review: This epinion is my contribution to the "FreeStyle Halloween Write Off" hosted by Shadow8. At the end of my review there is a list of others who participated in this write off. Please check out their reviews as well.

At my house it just isn't...

Pros: Has a good moral to the story overall

Cons: After a while ya kinda feel bad for Linus and Charlie Brown

The Bottom Line: Teaches tolerance and how to take things in stride, plus it's a cute movie.

Review: One of the greatest lessons in tolerance can be learned from this or any other Charlie Brown movie. Charlie Brown is like a born loser but he even though by todays standards he should be going postal and destroying his opressors like kids of today seem...

Pros: awars winning animation, great family entertainment

Cons: none unless abroad, its R1 only so best used on a multiregion player

The Bottom Line: Must see Halloween antics with a WWII Flying Ace, a hapless Charlie Brown, and amisguided Linus Van Pelt.

Review: I love Peanuts. There, I said it, and I am not embarrassed either! I grew up with the antics of Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the rest of the Peanuts gang making regular appearances on my childhood bedding, my Mom's kitchenware, in the daily newspaper ...
