A classic hidden away.
If I hadn't looked closely I would've missed it.. This dvd has a new Peanuts holiday tale where Rerun decides he wants a dog for Christmas. It's an entertaining enough tale I guess, but the real gem is hidden away as a bonus feature; A Charlie Brown Christmas.

This is the classic 1965 Charlie Brown animated tale that used to be repeated every year where a melancholy Charlie Brown searches for the true meaning of Christmas in the face of commercialism. Featuring the infamous score by Vince Guaraldi, who defined the sound of Charlie Brown's animated existance.

Often referenced in contemporary Christmas specials or episodes, this is a true classic that no fan of animation should miss. The real shame is that it's not been given a dvd of its own.

new meets old
The first story is a new one.Quite out-of-the-ordinary christmas
tale.I loved Rerun who thinks that happiness is a warm puppy for christmas.You'll love the kids'attitude towards Santa or
shopping .The second story is a much older one.There is a striking difference between the two but it also reflects the
anticomfortism of the characters in searching for the true meaning of christmas.

It speaks for itself.
You don't review 'Charlie Brown'. Think of who's involved, C B, Linus, Lucy etc etc etc, and you KNOW you're going to enjoy it. So, buy it, put it in the dvd, sit back and enjoy. Charlie Brown at Christmas is as much a part of the festivities as.....your least favourite uncle stuffing himself with YOUR food. Ah memories! This dvd will help you forget!!

A classic!
I remember watching this when I was a kid in Boston. I think I enjoy it even more now that I'm older and can appreciate its beautiful protest against the commericialization of xmas. The soundtrack by Vince Guaraldi is also a must-have for jazz fans.
