Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) In this 23-minute animated short film from 1983, Melendez and Schulz take on American history the Peanuts way. As usual, it was Emmy-nominated, but I must say I did not really find this a very memorable watch and it was one of the weaker Peanuts films I have recently seen. There is an interesting snippet in here occasionally, but hands down when you want to watch a historic documentary you don't go for Peanuts. I guess they mostly wanted to make this for those who were already Peanuts fans in the 1960s and were grown-up now. This movie starts actually funny with Snoopy's car struggles as the gang travels to France, but the longer it goes the more the fun vanishes and it becomes 100% history information. Maybe you need to be an American citizen to appreciate this one. Certainly, a fairly different Charlie Brown film, but not a good in my opinion. Thumbs down.
trigerhppy I have seen this special only once, during it's original broadcast. My parents let me stay up to watch it. I had not thought about it until yesterday, passing a field of poppies here in Afghanistan, I thought about Linus reading the poem IN FLANDERS FIELDS. I truly wish more people would see this special and that it would be rebroadcast. Charles Schultz served in the 20th Armored Division in Europe at the end of WWII, seeing a small amount of combat. He later remembered the troops every year by having Snoopy visit Bill Maudlin (the cartonist behind Willie and Joe) for memorial day. Before his death he donated $1 million to the National D Day memorial. What have we learned is what children need. I would love to get a copy on DVD
Robert Morgan Like many other Peanuts specials from the 80's, this walks a fine line between educational content and entertainment. However, the special works very well- the education isn't beaten over one's head, while the entertainment isn't frivolous. Unlike many other cartoon specials "celebrating" various things, this one has a message, and it has an emotional impact.As another poster has commented, this is ostensibly a sequel to the feature film Bon Voyage Charlie Brown (And Don't Come Back)- a film that Mr. Charles Schulz found to be disappointing. He more than made up for it with this 1/2 hour special... the events in the feature film are truthfully ignored for the most part; it's just used as a springboard to get the Peanuts gang back into France.I have, over the years, gotten inured to and distrustful of the motives behind most of the glorifying/worshipping films regarding WW2. I'm not much for hero worship, and being beaten over the head with propaganda about how previous generations were better/holier than later generations. However, this special, unlike so many critically acclaimed films, presents the facts and emotions underlying much of WW2- one is left to make one's own judgement. It's one of the most powerful messages about the Allied forces' sacrifices I've ever seen... all presented through the mouths of tiny animated children.
Bilbo-13 This film is the sequel to "Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (And Don't Come Back!)". Charlie Brown and his crew are travelling along across the French countryside, when they come to Omaha Beach, where the allied forces landed on D-Day. Linus tells them about D-Day and WWII. This is an amazing film. I strongly recommend that you watch this video.
