A classic
Definitely one of my favorite Peanuts shows! Snoopy at his best - and that lawn chair - too hilarious!

It'll make you wish you were a kid again
This is number two in the Peanuts' specials Big Three (need I mention the other two?), and I think all the other reviews have covered beautifully all the things that need to be said about it. Except this: the music is fantastic! Vince Guaraldi is at his best, and even sings on the amazing "Little Birdie." The theme song alone is worth it.
Really, I don't know what I'm doing writing a review of this. Unless you've lived under a rock, you've already seen it, and unless you have no soul, you love it, too. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Always a Hit!
I owned Charlie Brown Thanksgiving in VHS and recently converted to DVD. I asked my grandchildren if they wanted me to replace Charlie Brown Thanksgiving in DVD and they all said YES!. It's a classic at our house and they often borrow it to take home and watch. It's one of those movies that they enjoy over and over again. It's great fun for the whole family. We all watch it together at least once a season.

Actually, Quite Profound
This review is dedicated to Brooke Shields. (In her book, she said Thanksgiving is one of her favorite holidays.)
We may have to watch this a few times before we really understand how great it is. It's basically this. Charlie Brown and Sally are planning to go to their grandmother's house for Thanksgiving. Then Peppermint Patty, calls Charlie and says she is coming along with Marcy and Franklin to Charlie Brown's for Thanksgiving. Poor Charlie can't seem to get a word in edgewise to explain that he won't even be home. So, Linus (being on the smarter side) says to just make a quick supper for Patty, Marcy, and Franklin. (This turns out to be toast, popcorn, pretzels, and jelly beans.) Peppermint Patty gets angry when she sees the supper, but then feels bad and apologizes. (With some help from her back up conscience Marcy.) The whole gang is then invited to Charlie Brown's grandmother's for supper.
While this may seem to be a simple story, it is actually quite profound. Over time, a holiday (be it Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter) can develop a string of customs. And in following the established customs, we forget the TRUE ESSENCE of the holiday and what it is really about. Thanksgiving is about being thankful for things we have. And as Marcy puts it: "We should just be thankful for being together." And even though Charlie and Linus could not put together a traditional or normal supper, they did the best they could under the circumstances. That's what was really important.
Overall, this is a short, but profound story that tells us we must not forget the true essence of a day because we get lost in the established customs.

GOOD AS I REMEMBER
What can you say about this classic. It is a good family cartoon that will appeal to the yoougest child all the way to the oldest person in the room. The story from beggining to end brings back memories when I was a child.

Old Time Cartooning.
I decided to watch a series of old classics on DVD and gravitated to the Charlie Browns right away. This was not only due to my loving them as a kid but also due to the big biography on Charles Schulz's life that just got released. There's an innocence about these videos one seldom feels from contemporary specials. Unquestionably, the Peanuts series are a joy to re-experience. Furthermore, there is something incredibly non-PC about the dynamics of these characters. The over-the-top manipulative ways of Peppermint Patty and Lucy are not something producers would depict today. The same is true of Marcie's habit of calling Peppermint Patty "Sir." Saying grace before dinner would not do in a 2007 film either. Snoopy is a little aggressive for our new tastes. His pop gun musket would earn him a 10 day mandatory suspension were he to take it to school with him today. Not to mention that neither the beagle nor anyone else would dare to put butter on toast as he does here. Ah, the good old days may be gone but you can savor them once again with Charlie Brown.

Great Classic!
What a wonderful classic - it takes me back to my childhood days! Of course, we didn't have DVD's (or VHS for that matter!) so whenever this great movie came on t.v. it was a BIG event! I make it special for my kids too - watching it at night with JIFFY POP popcorn, just like the good ol' days! I also think you get a GREAT DEAL on Amazon - it is the best price I've found AND if you spend $40, shipping is FREE! GREAT DEAL and a GREAT MOVIE! EnJoY!

This one's my fave
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, and the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving was something I looked forward to every year. It cracks me up when Peppermint Patty invites herself and a bunch of people over then gripes about the food. However, Charlie Brown saving the day by bringing his buddies over to Grandma's house is a good reminder of how to be a true friend.

Charlie Brown is *THE* greatest animated character EVER!
I love him! He's always so annoyed and fed up with things. A bit like me!!
nd I smiled. But I laughed more.
The "chemistry" between Charlie and Peppermint Patty is one to see. And Marcie saying stuff like, "Stop holding my hand, Charlie Brown." and other things to fire Patty up!
And the grandma and teachers speaking in the, "Wo Wo Wo Wo" language provides a few laughs also!
I loved it. I laughed so hard when Patty was disappointed with the "meal" that Snoopy prepared for everyone. "Popcorn? Buttered toast!!? Where are the mashed potatoes???!"
There are fewer cartoons as good as this here.
5+ stars.
Love ya, Charlie Brown!!
