#1 Cheap Snoopy, Come Home Reviews
Special Price Today Go To Store!! (Limited Time Offer)
This Peanuts special has always been way up there on my list of super-influential childhood experiences. Seen when I was around 5 or 6, I often wonder how strong an effect this movie had on my world-view. A truly moving Peanuts special that to this day, is still my all time favorite. Yes, it'll pull those heart-strings, and has its violent moments as well (hey, this was 1972 - there never WAS a more violent time in cinema!). Snoopy beats the #$@! out of Lucy, who, many have thought, long had it coming. In my book, this show is hands down THE most entertaining and funny Peanuts episode, with a depth of character and subject matter that had never been reached in a Charlie Brown special before. Let's face it, the Charlie Brown specials have the kind of substance that has always been half for adults anyway, though not all will entertain adults. This one works for older as well as younger people but is probably best not shown to kids of too tender an age, though I survived (with my grief). Of course, I'd been through 'Pufnstuf, the Movie' several years before that, which provided memorable nightmares (out for a night of fun at the movies - how could my parents know watching Witchipoo roast Pufnstuf alive on that spit would later haunt me?). Other influential TV shows would include The Bionic Man, Battlestar Galactica, and Land of the Lost.
"Snoopy Come Home" is a bare-bones package without any subtitles or special features and was the second full length Charlie Brown movie (at 80 minutes).
Snoopy, Come Home Overview
Feature-length animated film featuring the Peanuts gang - Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Snoopy and the rest, made back in the early '70's when they were still groovin' to Vince Guaraldi's jazz score.
One of the best - Friend of Peanuts -
Simply awesome - soup to nuts. I feel it has 2nd best soundtrack of all the Peanut movies too (next to Christmas Special) and even though it is a bit 70's oriented - it is true to Shultz' Peanuts tradition.
