A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

G 7.7
1973 0 hr 30 min Animation

Turkey, cranberries, pumpkin pie... and the Peanuts gang to share them with. This is going to be the greatest Thanksgiving ever! The fun begins when Peppermint Patty invites herself and her pals to Charlie Brown's house for a REALLY big turkey party. Good grief! All our hero can cook is cold cereal and maybe toast. Is Charlie Brown doomed? Not when Linus, Snoopy and Woodstock chip in to save the (Thanksgiving) Day. With such good friends, Charlie Brown - and all of us - have so many reasons to be thankful.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I don't remember ever watching this when I was a child. Somehow, I must have missed it when I was helping my family prepare for Thanksgiving dinner the night before. I'm 50 now and I still enjoy these old animations. Plus they let us watch a bonus cartoon called 'This is America, Charlie Brown'. I don't know if this is a usual combination viewing or if this was the first time ABC has showed this line-up. Either way, I enjoyed them both and I had never seen them before. I thought 'A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving' was quite comical because of Snoopy and Woodstock. If you've never seen it, watch it once for sure. It's worth your time if you've got nothing better to do on the eve of Thanksgiving.

Poor Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty invites herself and some friends over to his house for a Thanksgiving dinner celebration but Charlie and his sister Sally are suppose to be going to their grandmother's house for day. Some quick thinking on Linus' part and with the help of Snoopy the Thanksgiving dinner will take place in a very cute short movie.Who in the heck wouldn't want Snoopy around to help out - and with his best little buddy Woodstock?! I love the quick little last minute holiday meal they whip out for the gang: toast, popcorn, jelly beans and pretzels - I might have to try it one year just for the sheer fun of it. lol.A very cute film - great for the entire family - so much fun and brings back some great memories for me. :) 10/10

A Thanksgiving classic about Peppermint Patty inviting herself, Marcie and Franklin over for Thanksgiving, forcing Charlie Brown to recruit Linus, Snoopy and Woodstock to prepare a big holiday dinner. Tenth prime-time animated TV special based upon the popular comic strip PEANUTS. Won an Emmy Award in 1974. You can count on it to be aired every November on ABC, usually back-to-back with the first episode of THIS IS America, CHARLIE BROWN "The Mayflower Voyagers". Like a lot of childhood staples, this has sentimental value to those who grew up with it, but this segment is too brief and dated to really grip those who were introduced to it too late.**½ (out of four)

Well, today is Thanksgiving and that means one thing to do, for certain that is. I must watch "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving." It has become a tradition for me for the last five years in a row and will continue for the rest of my life. You just can't go wrong with Good Old Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts gang. Watching this special brings the true meaning of Thanksgiving. As usually Snoopy steals the show. Thank you Mr. Charles Schulz for this and all the Peanuts holiday specials. Thanksgiving requires "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" year after year, it is simply tradition. Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest of the Peanuts gang on the holidays make the holidays more enjoyable.
