A Review From The Peanut Gallery,
By Reconnecting To My Childhood “Time Won’t Let … -
This 2-disc set is going to be released on July 7th, 2009. It contains the classic heartwarming Charlie Brown/Peanuts Specials that aired from 1965-1969, which are all six specials that aired in the sixties. Those specials are:
A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)
The perennial Christmas classic about the down on his luck Charlie Brown and his adorably pathetic Christmas Tree. This is where the Peanuts Specials all began.
Charlie Brown’s All-Stars (1966)
It’s ball season and Charlie Brown faces a moral dilemma when he can get his team new uniforms and a shot at being part of an official league if he is willing to kick Lucy, Violet, Patty, Frieda and Snoopy off the team.
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)
Another perennial classic about poor Charlie Brown getting more trick’s than treat’s and ever optimistic Linus spending the night in a humble pumpkin patch. He believes in the Great Pumpkin.
You’re In Love, Charlie Brown (1967)
Charlie Brown just wants the courage to meet his crush, the little red haired girl. When Linus and Peppermint Patty try to help things only get worse for good old Chuck.
He’s Your Dog, Charlie Brown (1968)
Snoopy is supposed to return to Daisy Hill Puppy Farm for obedience training but winds up at the house of Peppermint Patty instead. Will Charlie Brown get his dog pal to come back home?
It Was A Short Summer Charlie Brown (1969)
At summer camp the boys are losing everything to the girls and putting up with poor conditions. Will the boys be able to prove themselves as winner’s before the end of the summer? Maybe some help from the Masked Marvel (aka Snoopy) can do the trick.
Five of these six specials were either Emmy nominated or winning. Here they are being presented with remastered picture and sound quality, and on top of that the last two specials have never appeared on DVD before this. The set also includes a documentary, “The Maestro of Menlo Park - Profiling Composer Vince Gauraldi”, which takes time to look at the life of the jazz musician who wrote the classic ‘Linus and Lucy’ Theme as well as other peanuts music.
There have now been forty-one specials in the Peanuts franchise and I’m hoping that they will work on releasing them all in these sort of chronological sets. This set is great for those who haven’t bought the other Peanuts releases yet or fans that don’t mind double dipping knowing that this time if these releases continue they will be in for a complete set.
All these specials are great for those looking to relive childhood memories or share wholesome entertainment with their children while teaching them core values. I understand television has to evolve to reflect the current times but I wish more current shows could show half the moral undertones found here in these specials. Luckily with this DVD set those interested in wholesome family entertainment can now share these six classic specials with their children.
Classic Peanuts,
By T. McNalley (Los Angeles, CA) -
Getting right down to business: You watch two of these every year for certain– Charlie Brown Christmas and Great Pumpkin, you know them, you love them, and your VHS copy is worn out beyond belief. That alone is reason to get the 1960s Collection, but what you don’t know may be even more compelling…
“He’s Your Dog” and “Short Summer” are new to DVD but well worth the wait. If you’ve seen them before, you’ll love watching them again (what can I say, they’re timeless!) and you’ll be loaning it out or inviting your cousins/nieces/nephews/grandkids over to watch them.
Filled with life lessons, a classic humor that we all pay tribute to in one way or another and the Peanuts gang, this is an essential collection.
Great Nostalgia for any Generation,
By Thomas Day “Saturday Morning Central” (Indianapolis, Indiana) -
I was certainly not around in the 1960s, but these Peanuts TV specials are just as nostalgic to me, as I still grew up watching them in the 90s.
I received my copy yesterday for review on my website Saturday Morning Central, and I think its a very nice set. I already owned the holiday specials, but hadn’t seen any of the other specials on DVD.
The picture looks great, and there is also a very nice documentary on Vince Guaraldi. I recommend this set for any fan of the Peanuts or for parents looking to put some classic animation into their kids’ memories.
