Charles Schulz's award-winning "Peanuts" comics and animated television specials are perennial favorites of adults and children alike. What is it that makes a story about a morose young boy struggling with low self-esteem and social ineptness so timelessly appealing? Perhaps it's the universality of his struggle or Schulz's social commentary that sometimes proved years ahead of its time--or maybe "Peanuts" is just plain great animated entertainment. Regardless of why "Peanuts" remains so popular today, the 1960s gave birth to current classics A Charlie Brown Christmas and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown as well as four other works, with each network debut proving a highly anticipated television event. This two-disc compilation features all six 1960s specials, remastered with strikingly bright colors and crisp, clear pictures for a viewing experience that's simply great. Probably the best-known Peanuts special, the Emmy-award-winning A Charlie Brown Christmas follows a despondent Charlie Brown through the Christmas season as he tries to get involved and figure out the true meaning of Christmas. The Emmy-nominated It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown chronicles Charlie Brown's emotional ups and downs as he goes trick-or-treating, attends a Halloween party, and ponders his friend Linus's unfailing belief in the existence of the Great Pumpkin. The lesser-known, but highly engaging special Charlie Brown's All-Stars finds Charlie Brown's losing baseball team excited about a sponsorship offer that will provide them with uniforms and entrance into a real league. Problem is, manager Charlie Brown would be forced to cut Snoopy and the girls from the team in order to comply with league rules--a step he's just not willing to take. You're in Love, Charlie Brown finds Charlie Brown infatuated with the Little Red-Haired Girl and frustrated with his inability to overcome his shyness and speak to her. He's Your Dog, Charlie Brown features an incorrigible Snoopy who, rather than returning to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm for a refresher course in obedience, moves in with Peppermint Patty only to find himself overworked and unhappy. While Snoopy is gone, Charlie Brown and the gang realize just how important a role Snoopy plays in their daily lives. It Was a Short Summer is Charlie Brown's reflection on what he did at camp over summer vacation. A 38-minute bonus feature about ""Linus and Lucy"" composer Vince Guaraldi delves into his music and philosophy, detailing the evolution of his music over the years and the integral part that it played in the "Peanuts" television specials. Whether reliving childhood memories or creating a whole new set with children or grandchildren, this classic "Peanuts" collection is perfect for sharing. --Tami Horiuchi

Good collection of CB & co. November 2, 2009
Andre M. (Mt. Pleasant, SC United States)
Peanuts fans over the age of 42 or "Schulzologists" in general so will really enjoy this! While everyone is familar with a "CB Christmas" and the "great Pumpkin" episodes, some really rare stuff is included here.
I don't believe that "It Was a Short Summer, CB," (1969), "He's Your Dog, CB," (1968), "You're In Love, CB," (1967), or "CB's All Stars" (1966) have been shown any more than twice since their original appearances. In order, these deal with our gang going to summer camp, prodded by Lucy. The arm rasslin' match between Lucy and Snoopy is a hoot. "He's Your Dog" is the direct predecessor for the gang's second feature "Snoopy Come Home" (1972) and has a very direct reference to the latter film. Here, Snoopy's obnoxious and unwanted clowing with the other kids gets him a bid at obedience school at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm. Mildly amusing (I liked it better when I saw it as a small child when it first came out), but it's still above much of the other fare of this era.
"You're in Love," is really sweet, one of the few times CB comes out ahead? How? Watch it and you'll see. I wonder why this has seldom been aired since it's first broadcast (I recall seeing it around 1972 when I was in the first grade). "CB's All Stars" is an interesting tale that mixes baseball humor with a touching example of CB's loyalty to his "friends" in spite of their ingratitude. The ending of this is truly touching as well as amusing and says a lot about Linus' true loyalty to CB.
The special feature is a documentary on Vince Guiraldi, the tunesmith behind the wonderful musical themes of these specials. Quite interesting. he appears to have had the perfect personality to do this wonderful music (I had no idea that it was him singing the "Joe Cool" song from "You're Not Elected CB" in 1972). It would be nice, given the fact that this IS about Peanuts in the 60s, if this were to include the Peanuts Ford commercials from earlier in the decade and the early aminated segments from the unsold 1963 documentary "A Boy named Charlie Brown" (not to be confused with the 1969 feature film of the same name). Such is the life of a certified member of the CGA (Cartoon Geeks of America). If you're one, you'll want this!
Finally! The early stuff collected in one place. October 23, 2009

After buying (and NOT buying) so many Peanuts VHSs/DVDs, re-releases, remasterings.... finally just the best collected... with no awful 80s/90s extras thrown in. Stick to the 60s/70s Peanuts and enjoy brilliance.
Trip down memory lane September 12, 2009

Okay, we've all seen the Christmas and Halloween specials, which are still shown every year, but I haven't seen most of these other great Peanuts specials since I was a little whippersnapper back in the late Sixties. And yet, some of the scenes still imprinted on my mind all come rushing back in a flood of memories. This is the original voice cast you know and love from the Christmas and Halloween specials, and the same limited (yet charming) animation. There's even a nifty doc about the man who composed the awesome music for these cartoons, Vince Guaraldi. So what are you waiting for? Relive your childhood, and create new memories for your kids and buy this set now!
