I ve Met Joy and Sadness Charlie Brown Again
Breaks yer middle...
I offset read the book accommodation of this in 4th grade, when I was nine, nearly '76. I was crushed, especially past the scene at the farewell party for Snoopy, when Charlie Brownish goes to the podium and tries to detect the words to say adieu to his dog, his friend. He cannot. I was choking up actually bad, having had a collie for some years at that time, I could not fathom not having him effectually, so it hit dwelling.
Now when I think of it, I also enjoy the music, the trip the twosome-Snoopy and Woodstock, accept, the 'No Dogs Allowed' running themes, the over all melancholy feeling that pervades the motion-picture show.
I recollect its the all-time of the Peanuts flix, and recommend it highly today too.

Another Part of the Charles M. Schultz Legacy
geode 25 February 2000
I was a 21 year onetime working every bit a projectionist in a neighborhood theater when this movie was released and I had the opportunity to help get information technology up on the screen. This seemed like such a nice and enjoyable gem dorsum then, with some scenes as informal equally a summer's solar day and others with a somewhat darker but thoughtful tone (themes of rejection and the sadness of separation). It was an early " buddy picture show" shown pointedly in the cross-country journey that Snoopy takes with Woodstock. Some scenes are reminiscent of a Hope and Crosby "road" picture. There is a delightful song sung by Shelby Flint in the film....she would later sing another in the outset rate blithe film, The Rescuers. I actually tracked downwardly a couple of her albums every bit a result. I don't have children, but I still think this is a delightful film and I have my own personal video copy. Good for all ages.

a sweet petty Peanuts entry to run into as a child; good mix of sense of humor and pathos
I remember this Peanuts movie-special, along with A Male child Named Charlie Brown, fondly every bit a kid, when they replayed these specials on Nickelodeon (or it might have been Disney's channel, can't recollect which). Each ane had several songs in each pot, all of them catchy to one caste or some other, and featuring some of the genuine wit of the comic strips. This picture show is maybe relying on more sentimentality than the onetime, as in this one the issue of leaving dwelling and belonging to an primary/owner (and the attachment), and the comedy isn't as rampant as in other Peanuts specials. Only of the dozens of Peanuts specials- and the short-lived television series- this is one of the better ones, as there are some moments that still stick in my heed many years afterward seeing information technology. One of these is the classic "No Dog's Allowed" song, with the perfect bass sounding phonation. And the whole sequence where Snoopy is under protestation taken in by a very determined little daughter is brilliantly done for laughs. For some kids, depending on if they're fastened to the Peanuts or not, may feel stronger with this moving picture, with the very conflicting climax with Snoopy and his masters. There's enough fun though, as Woodstock's first appearance in the Peanuts series is well placed and delivered, with every bit many vaudevillian expressions equally Snoopy.
Simply good, family fun for all.

Equally it was with Blackness SABBATH, Charlie Brown is going through CHANGES
This pic rocks. Its funny, its sad, its more touching than whatsoever drawing has a right to exist. In it Low-man-on-the-totem pole Chalie Brown cuts himself on a metal canis familiaris food can and laments to his ungreatful creature that after "All I do for you I get no thanks". Later in the film Snoopy receives a letter from a mystery daughter in a hospital and he rushes to her side. Nosotros find out this footling girl Lila was Snoopys original owner who had to give him up when her family moved. They had brought Snoop to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm and the Brownish family gotr him for Charlie Dark-brown subsequently he got a mean trick played on him by a kid in a sandbox at the neighborhood playground. Now the question is who volition Snoopy stop up with: Charlie or Lila? Even though snoopy has never been a grapheme with much depth you tin can really TELL he'due south torn to where his loyalties lie. (Your under the impression that he wants to become dwelling to the PEANUTS but because of Lilas illness he cant acquit to go out her either). I remember watching this as a kid and thinking the "NO DOGS ALLOWED" parts were very funny. I didn't call up how sad this story is, peculiarly Charle Browns song he sings belatedly at night losing sleep wondering where Snoopy is and if he's actually gone for good. The vocal is about how simply as life seems good "Information technology CHANGES" and something messed up happens and sometimes y'all just wish that life had more "Hellos" than "Goodbyes"...the song is a truthful heart breaker and if I could write the lyrics (I don't know them all) I would. It nearly reminded me of Ozzy singing "Im Going through CHANGES"...maybe thats just me. Anyway, SNOOPY COME Home is a true classic that should be in every child's collection. My best friend is pushing 40 has no children and has confessed to me that this was the most touching childhood special he tin can think. My mother who is in her 60s watched information technology once while babysitting my daughter and thanked me for packing that video in the sleepover handbag...she held onto it and watched it again stating "That was the all-time Charlie Brownish special i've e'er seen!"

The best of the Peanuts flicks
This melancholy entry in the Peanuts quadrilogy stands out amid the iv, merely considering of the difference in tone from the other entries. "Race for Your Life" is much lighter in tone, while "Bon Voyage, Charlie Dark-brown" is more shallow. "Snoopy, Come Habitation" is the well-nigh memorable because of its unusual depth, as well as the bittersweet themes that information technology touches on: friendship; loyalty; and partings of the way.
The plot, in a nutshell: Snoopy's old owner is ill, and calls him to her side. Snoopy makes a cross-state journey, and is then torn between staying with his former owner, who needs him, and returning to the place he considers home.
Though the animation is still adequately uncomplicated here, information technology'due south a notch in a higher place the usual Peanuts movies and specials - check out the beautiful backgrounds of the embankment scenes, or the wonderful palettes displayed equally Snoopy and Woodstock travel at sunset. Really striking, and unlike from what we usually run into in the Peanuts stories.
The real mixed bag here is the music. This was the first Peanuts project that did not features a score by the bright Vince Guaraldi. Instead, the Sherman brothers of Disney fame provide the songs, several of which are sung past the characters (in contrast to Guaraldi's usual instrumentals). Some of these songs are quite skilful, like Fundamentalfriendependability, the song sung past a daughter who captures Snoopy when he is en route. Others, like Snoopy and Woodstock's "Me and Yous" theme, are pure early 70s (recollect The Clan) and unfortunately engagement the movie.
The vox work is generally skillful, unlike the more recent Peanuts entries where sounding somewhat similar the original voices doesn't seem to be a prerequisite. Stephen Shea as Linus sounds virtually exactly similar older brother Chris, the original, definitive Linus who grew out of the role. The one weak voice is Charlie himself, whose vocalism is different plenty from his predecessors to be distracting.
But these are nitpicks. The strength and depth of the story itself is more than enough to brand up for the few weaknesses. For whatever reason, this is rerun less than the later two Peanuts movies, then seek it out on DVD - you won't be disappointed. And if you're softhearted, exist sure to have a handkerchief handy.

not bad music and theme
my favorite peanuts cartoon with the best music ( me and you, two human being crew) and Charlie Brown singing a melancholy tune nearly Snoopy beingness gone while putting his head confronting the wall. The "no dogs allowed" with the voice is great. One of the more sadder animations out there(especially for a Snoopy cartoon) but still very enjoyable. I last saw it on Disney channel many moons ago and wonder why it is not played more often on TV or cable.Neat pic and recommended for fans of snoopy and the gang everywhere.
watch information technology with your dog or remember past dogs

The only 1 of the Peanuts specials with "Snoopy" on the championship instead of "Charlie Brown"
Alarm: Spoilers
"Snoopy Come Domicile" is the 2nd of the 4 Peanuts specials. In many ways, it'southward a unique Peanuts story (particularly for being a musical, dramatic and emotional picture). At the aforementioned fourth dimension, its simplicity is extreme. This is an improvement over the previous "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" in some ways.
There is some overnice score, such as the hilarious song "No dogs allowed" and the cute but sad songs "Do yous remember me?" and "It changes".
Dissimilar the first movie, here both Peppermint Patty and Woodstock appear, although Marcie is still missing. There is, however, a crazy girl named Clara who looks almost equal to Marcie, except without glasses. And her vocalization sounds very Peppermint Patty-like. She's the i who names Snoopy "King" and she is a real nutcase. I call her "the terrorist".
Pepermint Patty's office is small here and, as usual, she's a tomboy. But she is surprisingly kind here. Actually doesn't audio like her. Because she's very quick-tempered and often unfair and obnoxious, she manages to surprise us hither.
Lila'due south part in the flick is minor. She is everything that Lucy and "the terrorist" aren't: friendly, sweetness, kind and lovable. Lila was the original owner of the world'southward most famous Beagle. I recollect they should take found a mode to make she and Charlie Brown meet sometimes, so that she and Snoopy had the chance to visit each other occasionally. Charlie Brown and Lila could even be friends...
During expert part of the movie at that place is a sad temper: Lila's illness and loneliness, the Peanuts gang missing Snoopy a lot (more often than not Charlie Brown, who is about sensitive almost this). Like Charlie Brown, I hate goodbyes and I'd rather more hellos.
The journeying of America'due south favorite Beagle and Woodstock to visit Lila at the hospital is admirable, equally well as everything they become through because of all those "No dogs allowed" signs (including i that forbids both dogs and birds, which is discrimination confronting animals).
The worst aspects concerning this moving picture are the post-obit ones: the sequence when Linus and Snoopy hurt each other, which is a bit disturbing because this is a kid's pic; the battle match sequence with Lucy and Snoopy; any sequence with "the terrorist" (there is something creepy near that girl, plus these sequences are traumatic for Snoopy and Woodstock); and, of grade, most parts with Lucy. I just don't like Lucy, she's obnoxious, unfair and mean to Snoopy, Charlie Chocolate-brown and even Linus.
On the other paw, some things don't fit very well. For example, when Snoopy finally arrives to the apartment where Lila lives, he is unbelievably happy when he sees the sign that forbids dogs. That just doesn't seem right of him and really shows a sure disrespect on both Lila and Charlie Dark-brown. The ending is also questionable: Snoopy demands all his stuff dorsum, causing everyone to get angry at Charlie Brownish (every bit usual, he gets blamed for everything bad that happens).
The artwork remains extremely simplistic, definitely not an comeback over "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" and certainly not in the level of "Race for your life, Charlie Dark-brown" and even less of "Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown".

Snoopy never left my middle...
This feature, equally yous probably gathered, largely centres effectually Snoopy, Charlie Brown's canis familiaris.
Charlie Chocolate-brown has been condign always more than resentful of Snoopy's recent independence (in particular going to the beach to spend time with Peppermint Patty), and, afterward cutting his thumb while trying to open up his can of dog-nutrient, he gives Snoopy a scolding and makes him feel guilty and worthless.
The post-obit mean solar day, when Snoopy tries to go to the embankment to meet Peppermint Patty again as promised, suddenly a sign has been put up saying that dogs are not allowed on the embankment. This starts a chain reaction that begins a string of frustration within Snoopy...
More snubbing comes from other members of the Peanuts gang when what started off as being a scrap of fun with Linus and his security blanket soon turns sadistic and nasty, once once more with Snoopy on the losing finish.
Snoopy and then has a bit of fun with Linus' elder sister Lucy, who is using boxing gloves, and they accept a flake of a light-hearted spar, but once again Snoopy pushes things that footling bit too far and ends up upsetting Lucy and she spits the dummy at him.
Presently afterwards, Snoopy receives a alphabetic character from a mysterious girl named Lila, who is in hospital and for some reason craves his presence. Snoopy and his bird friend Woodstock (making his animated movie debut here) suddenly fix off to meet her. Their journey is plagued past quite a few of the famous 'No dogs allowed'-blazon signs, which again do niggling to heighten the spirits of our favourite beagle!
Eventually, all the same, Snoopy and Woodstock reach the hospital where Lila is staying, and her spirit does indeed ascension when the dog suddenly appears by her bedside and enriches her enthusiasm. However, niggling does Snoopy know that she volition practically coax her into doing something that will really tug at his heart-strings...
I first saw this picture as a boy in my early on tens, and even when I watch it now it has lost none of its power to endear and -- in particular -- choke. There is 1 item section that nonetheless makes me cry to this day at a party for Snoopy, where poor Charlie Chocolate-brown is just also high-strung to say anything. Even just THINKING about that scene induces tears...
Every bit a whole, though, the moving-picture show is enjoyable fare. It'southward not a classic, simply it's still memorable, and has some really quite good songs that are not in the least fleck intrusive and only add to the overall amuse. There is also some spot humor, much of which is caused by Woodstock's erratic flying and Snoopy's constantly existence taunted past the 'No dogs allowed' signs permating his venture.
Recommended, simply don't expect your optics to be anything other than moist at some point in the moving-picture show!

wacky and wonderfully subtle too
When I first saw this on TV at the tender age of 4, I cried my eyes out during Snoopy's going-away political party nearly the end. When I recently saw it again, 20+ years later, I did exactly the same matter. The characters and situations are so 18-carat that I forgot it was a cartoon.
And I noticed how many vivid little details are hidden in this gem: the copy of "Sambo" at the library, then Snoopy's reaction to the highbrow humor of "The Bunnies," and Woodstock'due south help in helping Snoopy cheat at chess against Lila. Note my two favorite scenes: when Sally absent-mindedly grabs Snoopy'southward nose through the library bookcase (and her petty grin later on), and when Woodstock falls asleep watching the flock of birds pass gracefully overhead.
And the music is on par with annihilation you'd hear in an quondam Looney Tunes cartoon. Notice how the carnival music shares its melody with the sad vocal Charlie Brown sings later Snoopy leaves the second time? Or the zany symphonic freakout that accompanies the chase through Crazy Clara'due south house? And I beloved the lyrics to the "Me and you, a two-man crew" vocal that'south used as the duo'south song of the open road. And of course the hilarious basso profundo that underscores every appearance of the dreaded "No Dogs Allowed" sign!
Hire it, buy it, beloved it. This is the existent thing!

A Happy/Sad Pic
I recently saw this movie for the start time. I was 16 when information technology was released. I was expecting it to exist alot like "A Boy Named Charlie Brownish" (1969) the first Peanuts characteristic.
This film is skilful on its ain. The songs and tunes on the soundtrack are upbeat and pretty. The animation is first-rate loftier quality from Mr. Melendez. The introduction of Woodstock is beautiful. I especially liked the scenes where he and Snoopy are on their way to visit Lila in the hospital. There is a complicated scene where Woodstock has to walk on each of the sidewalk grate pipes to cross them while Snoopy but keeps walking. Their "buddy" scenes are peachy.
There is not much use of the Peanuts gang in this film Charlie Brown has a new and unlike vocalism for this film. But, he does sing a sad fiddling tune most the finish of the movie that volition tug at your heartstrings.
If yous have never seen this picture, delight practice.
I watched this motion picture on 2/13/00, the nighttime that Mr. Schulz died. I promise that the Charlie Chocolate-brown and friends legacy continues with these films and the Television set shows.

It's Snoopy Time
Warning: Spoilers
After the successful run of A Male child Named Charlie Brown, it was only a matter of fourth dimension until another Peanuts pic was produced. Well, three years later, Neb Melendez and Charles Schulz caved in, and presented Snoopy Come Home in the summer of 1972. This one stands out from most Peanuts content as the center star is Snoopy as opposed to Charlie Dark-brown or any of the other supporting gang, with a cute introduction to the famed beagle's canary friend Woodstock. Despite initially not doing well financially on its original release due to poor marketing, it did gain a cult following amongst Peanuts fans and even critics akin. As for me personally, while I do personally rank it as i of my least favorite Peanuts films, information technology nonetheless wouldn't exist without its amuse.
In this film, Snoopy gets a letter from his original owner Lila to come up visit her at the hospital, so at present he must decide between her or the Peanuts gang. What makes this film charming is how unlike Snoopy is from Charlie Brownish, as he likes to skip through life and have crazy encounters with the gang as opposed to existence bottled upward in his own insecurities. However, what does oppress him is the constant amount of signs that state "No Dogs Allowed", although it acts more as a running gag compared to the more than serious crisis regarding sweet picayune Lila badly wanting to see her old canis familiaris again. The movie often cuts dorsum from Snoopy and Woodstock traveling to detect Lila to Charlie Dark-brown grieving over his pet'southward sudden leave of absenteeism, which allows for the gang to think a bit more deeply about Snoopy'southward groundwork and what he ways to them. The clever witty dialogue by Schulz yet remains at play here, which notable lines such as "Y'all got a used dog, Charlie Brownish" and "How tin I tell you something that volition daze you if yous pass out earlier I can tell yous?" Although Snoopy and Woodstock'southward travels can get a bit repetitive and the primary gang tin feel a flake as well drab at times, the film does have a stronger structure than A Male child Named Charlie Chocolate-brown.
While the story is simple enough to follow in its ain right, in that location can exist times when a sudden obstruction can well-nigh finish the flick expressionless in its tracks. One notable see with Snoopy and Woodstock is an overly eager child named Clara practically incarcerating the poor beagle, downwards to naming him Rex and mistaking him for a sheepdog. Although the sequence has its funny moments, information technology does elevate on longer than information technology needs to and can even feel like torture in a style. Even the Peanuts gang worrying well-nigh Snoopy in addition to enjoying their summer feels monotonous, as it feels similar they just epitomize on what they both dearest and detest about the lively beagle, in spite of them trying to alive to the fullest themselves. Too, every bit stated before, the "No Dogs Allowed" signs are treated more like a running gag than a full realized story arch. I can understand them preferring to stick to Snoopy getting to Lila, only it could take used more fleshing out since information technology is a massive crutch to where Snoopy can become to. Not to mention, without spoiling the ending, allow's just say the result is so predictable that it feels justified in some way, since it does relate to the same signage barring over Snoopy'south life.
Interestingly enough, the Sherman Brothers, most well known for writing the songs from Mary Poppins and The Jungle Book (1967), provided the picture show'due south musical numbers on behalf of Charles Schulz wanting a more commercial aesthetic, and virtually of them work pretty well. The opening title song is very upbeat with simple lyrics and a rhythmic melody, the No Dogs Immune verses are accordingly bold thanks to Thurl Ravenscroft's triumphant vocals, The Best of Buddies sums upward Snoopy and Woodstock'south charming friendship with its encouraging lyrics, and Woodstock's Samba volition never leave your ears. Arguably the most energetic out of them all is Central-Friend-Dependability, equally its fast-paced tempo and nonessential lyrics feel straight out of Mary Poppins, with the addition of Clara boastfully singing while unwittingly abusing Snoopy. All the same, the near heart felt song has to be Do You Retrieve Me?, as it captures the emotional state of Lila wanting to see her erstwhile fiend again, complete with a cute functioning by Shelby Flint. The only ones I'one thousand not fond of are At the Beach as it sounds like standard beach fare, Getting' it Together for sounding as well similar to Best of Buddies, and It Changes for sounding as well drab for my tastes.
In some ways, this motion-picture show is structured and even paced better than A Boy Named Charlie Brownish, and in other ways more heartfelt, merely it could take used a little more than momentum as well. Although Snoopy Come Home may have some slow and repetitive moments and an obvious conclusion, information technology's nevertheless a rousing experience cheers to the beagle'south charming antics, Charles Schultz's clever writing and commentary, the unforgettable gang, and some tricky songs. If at that place';s anything to take away from this picture show on a universal scale, it's the theme of longing for absent-minded friends, something that anyone can relate to both Charlie Brown and Lila. Friends may come and go, but the ones nosotros cherish the well-nigh volition last forever, be it a homo or a pet.

Earth's most lovable beagle
When I was vii, I thought this motion picture was the greatest of all-time. At present I'm 34 and still remember it'southward actually, actually absurd. Who could resist the adventures of Snoopy? "Peanuts" managed to speak to me when I was a child and information technology continues to practice and so at present that I'm an developed.

Here we have the second theatrically released "Peanuts" film. Is it as skilful as the beginning one?
"Snoopy Come Home" (1972), subsequently the huge success of the first theatrical "Peanuts" motion-picture show, "A Boy Named Charlie Chocolate-brown" (1969), they had a tall order to make full with this 2d flick. One matter to point out right off the bat is, this flick isn't a directly sequel. "Snoopy Come Abode" is actually it's own standalone motion-picture show. Sometimes that works with movie franchises and sometimes it doesn't. In the example of "Peanuts", this was a brilliant move on their part, every bit the "Peanuts" comic strips changed and evolved as time went by. So therefore, information technology was just plumbing fixtures that the films and shows did the verbal aforementioned thing. The ending result with this film is nothing brusque of perfect. Not only is "Snoopy Come Habitation" every bit as good as "A Male child Named Charlie Brownish", information technology's even better in some aspects. Plus, it's also tied with "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" on my summit 10 all-fourth dimension favorite 2nd animated films list! That'due south right, they managed to make lightning strike twice. "Snoopy Come Home" has a simple yet deep story, phenomenal voice acting, beautiful animation and a sublime soundtrack. The plot is, Snoopy and Woodstock get a letter from a girl named Lila who'due south currently in the hospital. And then, they both prepare out to come across her, running into several obstacles along the way. There's also a surprising twist that comes into play later on in the picture that I won't reveal here. But, let me assure you, it just ups the emotional substance of the story to 11. Compared to the story in "A Boy Named Charlie Brown", the i hither is deeper and more complex, which makes it all the more impactful. While it'due south still a one-act, it also has potent drama and emotional moments throughout that really hit habitation for me. For anyone out there who has a canis familiaris, or any other type of pet, the storyline volition resonate even more with them. Just like in the other movie, Charles M. Schulz (the original creator of "Peanuts"), wrote the script for this flick also. Once once again, he knocked information technology out of the park! As far every bit the vocalisation interim goes, it's merely every bit phenomenal as the first movie. The reason why, is because they have children around the aforementioned age as the "Peanuts" characters do the voices. Usually, in blithe media, they have adults exercise kid voices. Since it's actually children doing them, it makes it all the more special and adds that much more than realism. As most of you know, my personal favorite voice actor for Charlie Dark-brown is, Peter Robbins. But, I accept to say, Republic of chad Webber did simply as good a job as Peter did. The whole bandage does such a fantastic task with their respectable characters! Merely, probably my personal favorite voice actor that I feel deserves special praise for this movie is, Linda Ercoli equally Clara. Non only does she do an exceptional task with Clara'southward speaking voice, she'due south also a phenomenal vocalist with her musical number in the movie, chosen "Primal Friend Dependability", which I'll become into more details with the music and songs in a minute. Some of the written lyrics would exist a challenge for any person to sing, let alone a kid! Merely, she nailed them all perfectly. For that reason amid others, she absolutely deserves all the praise she gets for her vocalisation work here. The crazy matter is, Clara wasn't fifty-fifty a major character in the original comic strips or cartoon specials. That just goes to evidence that the supporting, or side characters, must be only as strong equally the main characters. The funny matter is, this movie, forth with the other 1 doesn't really have an antagonist. Clara is the closest to a villain that these ii films have ever gotten. The voice piece of work in this movie, forth with the other 1, is some of the best that I have ever heard in whatever blithe picture show. Give those kids some awards already! The animation in this film is zero short of stellar, which is no surprise being a 2d blithe motion-picture show. As I've said on numerous occasions, second beats 3D CGI any twenty-four hour period! Finally, the soundtrack is infrequent and it sets the perfect tone for the story. This time, Vince Guaraldi didn't compose this flick score, brothers Richard and Robert Sherman did instead. For those who may not know, the Sherman Brothers are on my elevation ten all-fourth dimension favorite movie score composers list and this soundtrack is no dissimilar. As usual, they nailed it to a tee! My tiptop ii favorite musical numbers in this film are "Key Friend Dependability", sung by Clara, and "It Changes", sung past Charlie Brown. Also, the opening and ending theme are infrequent and deserve an honorable mention. But, the song that sticks with me the most is, "It Changes". I won't become into whatsoever details about information technology. But, it's one of the most emotional songs you will ever hear in whatever animated movie. It's merely as cute every bit it is haunting. Whenever I hear that song, especially nowadays, information technology's similar getting hit with a cannonball of emotions, every single fourth dimension. Just thinking about that song is moving me right now, at this moment. Props to you, Sherman Brothers! "Snoopy Come Dwelling" is an animated marvel that'due south every scrap as good as the original "Peanuts" comic strips, Idiot box specials and first film. I can spotter information technology over and over again and never get tired of information technology! Of class, I give this flick 5 out of 5 stars on my scale, which equates to x out of x IMDB stars. To end my review of this film, let'southward accept a moment of silence to the man who brought this swell newspaper comic and cartoon to life in the get-go place, the one and only, Charles M. Schulz. (R. I. P.) Without this creative genius, "Peanuts" would not exist. Any way, if you haven't seen "Snoopy Come Home", go and see it today if you oasis't already, I guarantee that you'll love it. If you don't, then Clara might capture y'all and keep yous as her own pet!

The Best Of The "Peanuts" Agglomeration
Alarm: Spoilers
As a kid,I watched "Snoopy,Come Home" on CBS every time it was on. Each year that information technology was on,I understood a little more well-nigh the storyline than the last time before.
To very briefly summarize,Charlie Brown has gotten fed upward with Snoopy's ongoing shenanigans and Snoopy feels rejected by his owner (whom he refers to in the comic strips equally "that round -headed kid".)
This sets him off on a quest to find his previous owner Lila,which comes about subsequently Lila writes to Snoopy from the hospital,asking him to visit her.
I'grand guessing also Snoopy's thinking she will appreciate him more than Charlie. I wouldn't have admitted information technology when I was younger only the scenes between Lila & Snoopy plus Charlie & The kids saying good-bye at Snoopy'due south farewell party did brand me lamentable.
I never forgot the songs from this,"Snoopy,Come Habitation","No Dogs Immune","It Changes" and of form "Me and You (A Two Human Crew"). I occasionally find myself whistling the latter song from fourth dimension to fourth dimension. Which but shows how potent and wonderful this animated picture show was.
As for the ending,I think that not merely are the kids glad Snoopy (and Woodstock) returned,I think Snoopy'south glad too. ....simply maybe he appreciates the friends he has in the Peanuts gang a lot more now. Equally for his asking for his things dorsum,well,that's the way Snoopy "e'er" is! He's kinda smug sometimes,I give you that.
10 stars,for this and all Charles Schulz brought to us through these characters. I really miss the Peanuts strip on Sundays. (Stop)

Classic
This picture had it all for me as a child... laughs, sadness, and suspense. (Hey, when you lot're vi years old, you lot don't know if there's really going to be a happy ending). I never forgot the scene with Charlie Brown singing mournfully after Snoopy leaves "for good." Even now I get goosebumps thinking most him standing next to Snoopy'south empty doghouse, and laying in bed knowing his World War I Flying Ace isn't outside to protect him from the Scarlet Baron. Probably the best Peanuts movie always made.

Superb teaching aid
Lila'due south Tune, which is sung by Shelby Flintstone seems to get no credit fifty-fifty for it'southward existence. Thats a shame because it still haunts me 20 years after I showtime heard it. I wish a soundtrack was available on cd or cassette. I had to leap through hoops just to find out the name of the song, and then to find out who sang it. The testify was fantastic even though pitiful. Sad is a lesson nosotros tend to shield our children from, and when something sad happens in their existent lives they don't know how to deal with it.

An Emotional Kids Film
I get-go saw Snoopy, Come Habitation in a theater in its original release and several other times on Television set. It was corking to see the Peanuts gang in their first motion picture afterwards A Male child Named Charlie Brown but i thought it was an emotional kids picture since the mood swung from happy to lamentable and dorsum to happy once again. It started happy when Snoopy went to the embankment to run into Peppermint Patty than went to sad when we first saw Lila, Snoopy'southward original owner in the hospital, alone and sorry while nosotros heard the song "Practise You Think Me?" one of several songs in the movie written by The Sherman Brothers. Also memorable were several scenes where Snoopy got kicked out of various places with a bass phonation (Thurl Ravenscroft) bellowing "NO DOGS ALLOWED!"
I idea the scenes where everybody was in tears at Snoopy's going-abroad political party and Charlie Brown choking up were so pitiful. Same with his vocal "It Changes" with his spoken interlude nigh hating goodbyes. I have also idea that Charlie Chocolate-brown'south to the lowest degree favorite words were "Goodbye" and the song got to the indicate. But it turned out to exist a happy catastrophe when Snoopy returned. Woodstock, making his debut as Snoopy's bird buddy was delighted to run into him.
For those of you who saw Snoopy, Come Home and plan to spotter it with your kids, I suggest you lot bring a box of tissues.

A bad twenty-four hour period in Peanutland
Alarm: Spoilers
I love Snoopy, and I love all things Peanuts. Subsequently watching this movie for the first time in many years, I'm left wondering what happened to all the magic this time around. I have to presume that Schulz, Melendez, and everyone else involved were just going through a really rough time, because there'south just no other way to business relationship for the bad gustation this movie leaves in my oral cavity.
This being Peanuts, of form at that place's some proficient stuff. The embankment and library scenes (peculiarly Snoopy's reaction to 'The Bunnies') are small masterpieces. Snoopy and Woodstock's road trip is full of wonder, particularly their adventures in sneaking into the hospital; the chip with the gurney and the elevator is great fun. Snoopy's adieu political party and Charlie Brown's sad lamentation are truly heart-wrenching. And nobody proclaims "No Dogs Allowed" better than Thurl Ravenscroft (he of "Yous're a mean one, Mr. Grinch" fame).
Merely Snoopy's mean-spirited encounters with Linus and Lucy early on, and his biting feuding with Charlie Dark-brown, are all actually out of place. Sure, Snoopy is always independent and even a flake snotty sometimes, but he's never cruel. Neither are Linus or Charlie Chocolate-brown, for that matter (Lucy's another story, but that'south why we love her). Throw in Lila's shameless manipulation of Snoopy's feelings, and the ultimate lack of joy in Snoopy'southward return at the stop, and yous've got 1 cold pic.

The world didn't come to an terminate.
Snoopy, everybody'southward favorite pet beagle, goes off to visit an old friend from his past. Charlie Brown isn't the same person without him while he's abroad. He's distraught over his departure. We learn virtually Snoopy's origins and wonder whether he comes home to Charlie Brownish or to his offset owner. The movie was fabricated in the early seventies and is true Charles Schulz's vision.

A real tear jerker :)
I requite this motion picture a half dozen because although it is a favorite, it obviously isn't a masterpiece, but the music is great and it's a must see if y'all are a Peanuts fan.
I think I saw this movie for the kickoff time when I was well-nigh 4 or 5. My slightly older sister and I were at my grandma's house. It starts out with the peachy "At the beach" number and my sister and I would get all excited, then, "NO dogs allowed!" would come shouting out of the Idiot box and It would scare me. So the movie goes on and they go to the library and snoopy picks out this "funny bunnies" book and starts laughing. My sister and I nevertheless go crazy over that part. Then after Snoopy has run abroad, Charlie Dark-brown does this monologue and sings a vocal. My sister who is 23 however gets teary eyed when she hears it. So when the local video rental place went out of business concern, we saw this long lost favorite and bought information technology immediately.

Young or old, Snoopy and the gang will capture your heart and heed
Warning: Spoilers
Just almost every adult born earlier 1970 will know who "Peanuts" are. That lovable gang of children, with Snoopy, the worry-wart Charlie Brownish'due south pet beagle, is the center of it all.
This film, Snoopy Come Home, is a corking picture, for young and for one-time. I remember watching information technology many dozen a fourth dimension when I was between the historic period of 4-6. Every graphic symbol has something a kid tin relate too! The musical score to this picture show is fantastic, each tune existence both catchy and sounding delightful to one'due south ears.
If you lot have a sensitive child, I'd strongly urge you Non to let them watch this film, as it WILL run the risk of dissentious them down the track in years to come! From being hilariously funny to downright sad, in that location'southward a lot to honey in this little animated dog, and a lot of mental attitude! And then from giggling at Snoopy'due south delightfully cute laugh, or clicking your fingers forth with one of this picture show'southward many tunes, this is a perfect film for a parent and immature children.

It's a Wonderful Dog!
A scrap wearisome in spots, specially for little kids. Introduces "Woodstock" as Snoopy'due south birdie buddy and aspiring secretary. Two haunting songs: "No Dogs Immune" and "Snoopy Come home." Other songs besides, but not really a musical. Snoopy takes a long trip to visit his first owner, Lila, who is recovering in the Hospital. ("You lot got a used canis familiaris, Charlie Brown".) I rate it higher than another critics because my three children almost ran the VHS copy to death. The fear(s) that information technology is a bit melancholy seem quite ridiculous, as non all "cartoons" have to be similar "My Footling Pony", do they? Not fierce and very well-produced and animated. The closest it comes to controversy is a little spoiled girl "kidnapping" poor Snoopy (for a while) and dressing him up like a doll, confronting his volition! At his farewell party, all Snoopy gets for presents are dog bones! (Woodstock keeps rail of the presents.) Virtually "Disney-like" in nature, and that is a big compliment. Snoopy does indeed finally come abode, every bit expected, afterwards all.

Poor Charlie Brown!
This is a film only us dice difficult Peanuts fans volition like. Snoopy Come Home is really a pitiful movie with bits of humor sprinkled in here and at that place. Most of the time, every character nosotros come across is in tears or walking around in a maudlin stupor. The songs are sad, too. Maybe this is the reason the film was unsuccessful in its theatrical run.
The story deals with Snoopy receiving a alphabetic character from his previous owner. She is a lilliputian girl living apparently several miles abroad and currently in the hospital for an disease we are left to simply speculate on. No sooner does Snoopy become the letter and so he and Woodstock are off to meet her. Charlie Brown and pals are saddened and baffled as to who this little girl is and why Snoopy would merely accept off later her on a whim. Meanwhile Snoopy is having all kinds of trouble traveling as virtually every place he goes he is met with the phrase, "No Dogs Immune". Making matters worse, once Snoopy meets upward with the piddling girl, she wants him to stay with her forever! Who volition Snoopy chose??? Will other circumstances ultimately brand the decision for him??
It's fun watching Snoopy horse effectually with the kids, and sneak into places where he isn't supposed to be. But all the depressing moments of Charlie Dark-brown and pals moping around are merely too deplorable. Some of this can be tough to scout. And the subplot of a rough picayune girl trying to adopt Snoopy after he takes a detour through her back thousand is more than cringe-inducing than anything. On the bright side, the usual innocence of Peanuts shines in many scenes. The blitheness looks corking. And the biggest express joy comes as the cease credits outset to curl. Go a load of that bearded hippie in the stove-top hat!! That's 1972 for you! 7 of ten stars.
The Hound.

Dreary and unpleasant
First line to pad out the comment.
Second line to pad out the comment. Review follows!
I remember this being my least watched of the 4 Peanuts movies. Returning to this film after twenty years to sentinel it with my 3 year quondam girl reminded me why that was.
Either people are hurting each other or they're crying in this movie. The vocalisation acting is generally bad, though Linus is pretty skillful. Charlie Brown is just most intolerable. At 1 betoken, my daughter turned to me and said, "Daddy, this is boring." She was right.
I'm glad I showed her this i commencement. They just get better.

I'm l/50 On This Ane
Warning: Spoilers
As much as I honey the "Peanuts" series, I stand neutral on this one. First off, I honestly call up the series is much better off in xxx infinitesimal special form rather than feature length...part of the charm is the "quick simplicity, quick delivery, and to the point storytelling which sadly becomes impuissant, drawn out, and uneven in "Snoopy Come Dwelling house". We know very picayune most Lilia, why she'south sick or why she suddenly want Snoopy dorsum. Did her illness make her yearn for some course of comfort? With the sad music that accompanies her scenes in the hospital one could feel for her, but you simply don't. (The hospital scenes in "Why Charlie Brown Why? are far superior as the viewer is able to understand the plight of Janice thus gaining sympathy for her.) On the bailiwick of music, the whole soundtrack seems out of place in this motion picture. As for the emotional components, the transition from sad to happy is too sharp and that takes away from what could be a skillful story. On the plus side, the blitheness is charming, and you do experience for Charlie Chocolate-brown with what he has to go through in the picture. A adept attempt that just could have turned out better.
