This has to be my least favorite of Peanuts' films. I love Peanuts' movies but this was just awful in my opinion. Many of the scenes go nowhere, mostly consisting of the scenes with Snoopy and Woodstock. It's altogether VERY drawn out. It shouldn't exist. It kind of ruined Snoopy for me but he's still my favorite character. Plus as usual Charlie Brown is depressing, his character just makes me wanna vomit melancholy. Another thing I didn't like is like I said, the repetitive nature of this film, it almost feels like I accidentally rewound it at a lot of parts it's that bad. That is all I have to say about this movie.Check me out on YouTube if you want here, I'll probably be reviewing this movie soon on YouTube: YouTube.com/Pictoron

I first saw Snoopy, Come Home in a theater in its original release and several other times on TV. It was great to see the Peanuts gang in their first film after A Boy Named Charlie Brown but i thought it was an emotional kids movie since the mood swung from happy to sad and back to happy again. It started happy when Snoopy went to the beach to meet Peppermint Patty than went to sad when we first saw Lila, Snoopy's original owner in the hospital, lonely and sad while we heard the song "Do You Remember 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 voice (Thurl Ravenscroft) bellowing "NO DOGS ALLOWED!" I thought the scenes where everybody was in tears at Snoopy's going-away party and Charlie Brown choking up were so sad. Same with his song "It Changes" with his spoken interlude about hating goodbyes. I have also thought that Charlie Brown's least favorite words were "Goodbye" and the song got to the point. But it turned out to be a happy ending when Snoopy returned. Woodstock, making his debut as Snoopy's bird buddy was delighted to see him. For those of you who saw Snoopy, Come Home and plan to watch it with your kids, I suggest you bring a box of tissues.

As a kid,I watched "Snoopy,Come Home" on CBS every time it was on. Each year that it was on,I understood a little more about the storyline than the last time before. To very briefly summarize,Charlie Brown has gotten fed up with Snoopy's ongoing shenanigans and Snoopy feels rejected by his owner (whom he refers to in the comic strips as "that round -headed kid".)This sets him off on a quest to find his previous owner Lila,which comes about after Lila writes to Snoopy from the hospital,asking him to visit her.I'm guessing also Snoopy's thinking she will appreciate him more than Charlie. I wouldn't have admitted it when I was younger but the scenes between Lila & Snoopy plus Charlie & The kids saying good-bye at Snoopy's farewell party did make me sad. I never forgot the songs from this,"Snoopy,Come Home","No Dogs Allowed","It Changes" and of course "Me and You (A Two Man Crew"). I occasionally find myself whistling the latter song from time to time. Which just shows how strong and wonderful this animated film was.As for the ending,I think that not only are the kids glad Snoopy (and Woodstock) returned,I think Snoopy's glad too. ....but maybe he appreciates the friends he has in the Peanuts gang a lot more now. As for his asking for his things back,well,that's the way Snoopy "always" 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. (END)

I remember this Peanuts movie-special, along with A Boy Named Charlie Brown, fondly as a kid, when they replayed these specials on Nickelodeon (or it might have been Disney's channel, can't remember which). Each one had several songs in each pot, all of them catchy to one degree or another, and featuring some of the genuine wit of the comic strips. This film is maybe relying on more sentimentality than the former, as in this one the issue of leaving home and belonging to an master/owner (and the attachment), and the comedy isn't as rampant as in other Peanuts specials. But 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 mind many years after seeing it. One of these is the classic "No Dog's Allowed" song, with the perfect bass sounding voice. And the whole sequence where Snoopy is under protest taken in by a very determined little girl is brilliantly done for laughs. For some kids, depending on if they're attached to the Peanuts or not, may feel stronger with this film, 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 as many vaudevillian expressions as Snoopy.Just good, family fun for all.
