This movie is a must for any Peanuts fan. It has some catchy little tunes, but it also tells the story of how Charlie Brown got Snoopy as a pet.
Viewers can also see, what I believe is the first sketch of the character "Marcie". It is the rambunctious little girl who tries to keep Snoopy and Woodstock against their will. The viewer will also get to experience Snoopy's relationship with the children that occupy his world and how he relates to them on his own terms.
This is a wonderful family film and a film that can introduce millions of new fans who have never heard of or paid much attention to the Peanuts comics. Although Snoopy doesn't do much pretending (Flying Ace, Joe Cool, etc.) he does show why he thinks he's human based on Schulz subplot of Snoopy's feelings about being discriminated against by the circumstances he faces when dealing with the children.

Snoopy, Come Home Overview

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AMERICA'S FAVORITE BEAGLE TURNS UP MISSING? NOTHING SHORT OF A RESOUNDING CRY FROM THE ENTIRE 'PEANUTS' GANG.


Parents Beware--Too Sad For Younger Kids - M. Hummel - College Park, MD USA
Parents beware of this ultra-serious, somewhat dark Peanuts feature-length movie. Unlike the first Peanuts movie which had many light moments augmented by the joyous and classic Vince Guaraldi jazz scores usually employed in Peanuts animation, this one is full of conflict and sadness, and uses an incredibly hokey score by the Sherman Brothers (who wrote pop hits back in the day). My five year-old, who is pretty tough, broke down several times during this movie, worried about Snoopy getting KIDNAPPED at one point, and leaving Charlie Brown at another point (not to mention the brutality of Snoopy's lengthy boxing match with Lucy). Schulz's Peanuts always had an adult tone to it, but the Peanuts specials managed to reach out to kids with many purely joyous moments. Not so here. The plot isn't even that well-executed and the resolution is not emotionally satisfying. I don't recommend this to anyone. The first Peanuts movie is great (A Boy Named Charlie Brown) by comparison. No wonder this particular film was a big flop at the box office at the time. A must to avoid, and not to be shown to younger kids.
