My only gripe with the Thanksgiving one was the Football gag at the beginning. Lucy is only there for that one scene, and then disappears for the rest of it. Linus is there, but her absence is never explained. I'd wish she got invited to CB's impromptu Dinner, but she'd be roasting him harder than Patty was.

[@SJrad]

My name is Charlie brown. I am 8 years old. My house is in suburban America, where all the cul-de-sacs are, and I am no married. I am a student at an elementary school, and i get home everyday by 2PM at the latest. I don't smoke, and I don't drink I'm in bed by 9PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.

"Charlie Brown Christmas" and "Great Pumpkin" vie for best. In the 1970s they went downhill fast, not helped by the original voices and Vince Guaraldi's score being not easily replaced, and a general lack of inspiration that caused rules to be broken (such as a visible Little Red-haired Girl, and Snoopy imagining himself to become a more realistic dog). Aside from maybe Paul Reiser's apocryphal Passover special "Let My People Go, Charlie Brown."

What true Peanuts had was a core of dark and weird stuff under the witty quips and precocious wisdom - your jokes about Linus’ faith in the Great Pumpkin being cult-like are on target. I’d like to see you do a video about the Peanuts feature films - your commentary is fall-on-the-floor hilarious and very insightful.

[@buttersbb3328]

Are you talking "Who would win in a fight?" I think the rankings heavily depend on circumstances. Linus w/o blanket is low tier, but Linus w/ blanket is high tier, he can expertly use the blanket as a whip. Marcie is very high tier as well, she punched a kid out with one blow when angry, and beat up a camp bully off screen as well. Charlie Brown has insane endurance and impressive feats, but he has a bad habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. If they had a fighting tournament, Charlie would probably make it to the grand finals, and then somehow knock himself out before landing the final blow.

[@Hagashager]

At the risk of coming off edgy: it may also be because the sincerity of 4th of July was in decline from the 1960s onward. The trend of "America Bad" began, in good faith, with the Vietnam War protests. By the late 1960s a holiday like 4th of July was starting to be scrutinized. That scrutiny has since morphed into a really scratter-brained, and frankly childish knee-jerk cry to hate the US at all times (including being okay with very dictatorial nations like Russia) but at the time of the specials even Schulz had misgivings about nationalism.

[@Antifearn]

I want AppleTV to make a Peanuts special or show based on the super _old_ strips Schultz made in the early ‘50s. I’m talking the strips where everyones’ heads were oversized, Charlie Brown didn’t have depression, Snoopy was an ordinary dog, and Lucy was a psychotic, bug-eyed toddler.

I started watching Peanuts animations because of your last video. Peppermint Patty is so cool. So thanks for that, even the strip adaptations are a lot of fun. What you said about the Apple TV specials rang true for me. They're written well, but thats the issue. Its a boiler plate sappy children's special script. But it misses the point of the characters and the strips. I think people want to uplift the material because that's what is best for the corporate image of Peanuts at this point in time. Not that Schulz didnt do impressive things with the strip, or people weren't inspired by it. But still... I think they're trying to give peanuts more staying power in this current political climate. I guess Obama giving the foreword of the final compilation book in 2016 was cool. But Peppermint Patty once told Franklin there arent Black players in the NHL in the strip. She's still cool though, and I do like the idea of exploring her family. But the mother's day special is just... idk, I can sort of see her behaving that way. But I think I prefer the version of her that invites herself over to others' Thanksgiving because her dad left her alone.

[@Reds994]

Watched It's the Small Things a few weeks ago and it kills me. I love the vibrant colors and I feel like they really captured the look of the character in motion while making each scene look like a painting. I enjoyed how they got Snoopy and Woodstock bits in more as background gags so to not break up the pace and each child got a time to shine, even if Chuck and Patty sound a bit off (I also don't think Patty, the most athletically proud kid would use a motor on her bike). You get that great scene where Sally shows up wanting to play since she's 5 and Charlie promised. I thought they'd have him weasel out of it but no; he's a great older brother and really lets her try, much to the dismay of his players, but he cares about the promise he made to her. Then the flower plot comes in and you see the tension building. At this point I was on board. I figured everyone would be pushing Charlie to get her to leave / kill the flower but again he stands by her and lets he stay with the flower. I was hoping the lesson would be that Sally finally realizes that her little escaped is taking something away from her brother that he truly cares about; his baseball game. The one he's been looking forward to and practicing for all year. She would remember how he unconditionally supported her joining the team and protecting her flower and now that she sees him upset but still standing by her she would agree to move the weed... But no. They fight over it and the weed dies and they play it like it's Charlie's fault? I went from loving it to hating it so quickly my head spun. Are the other AppleTV ones that bad, I haven't watched them yet. I skipped those parts as to not spoil, if I do watch them. Great video. :)

I noticed some other things when I watched the Christmas special as an adult. I noticed that we were supposed to get a sense of time passing when Charlie Brown was directing the Christmas play. And they could have given us that with a few simple crossfades. The hard cuts make it feel like an unbroken few minutes. I also realized, finally, that the piano music and dancing were the play all along. Or perhaps they were a symbolic stand-in for the actual play. When I was a kid, I always thought that Charlie Brown's actors cared so little about him that they just played music and danced instead of rehearsing.

[@B00Radl33]

Linus and Sally are two sides of the same coin. Childlike innocence and belief. Also I fully believe that Linus talked to Little Red Head Heather and orchestrated Charlie's first kiss to make up for all the times he stole his girl.

[@KremBotop]

No wonder Sally has that hopeless crush on Linus. She's unironically more unlucky than her brother in that regard because even with so many heartbreaks elsewhere (like with Peggy Jean), Charlie still has that crush on Heather to go back to and it's even implied she does return those feelings despite him being unable to even talk to her most of the time. And I totally buy your theory if the animations can be chronologically set out of their release order. What Linus did in the New Year's special needed something big to make up for it. And as cruel as the Homecoming special's ending was, Charlie forgetting everything after the kiss makes it so that it doesn't "break continuity" and still makes the ending of the 2015 movie work.

i'm honestly a bit saddened to know how criminally underrated u are. i found you thru ur first peanuts video today and watched this and ur james bond vids (so glad to see another timothy dalton fan, living daylights is one of my personal all-time faves), and ur editing n comedic timing is one of the few times i've consistently laughed while watching something, and one of the very few times i've actually commented on a video. i can't wait to see what else you review in the future!

18:15 This part caught of guard and was absolutely hilarious. I haven’t finished this video but I already love it.

Woodstock is an eagle, which is known to eat other birds. Also, I see it as a joke: the bald eagle is the national bird of the US. Benjamin Franklin wanted that symbol to be a turkey. So, Woodstock the eagle eating a turkey is a visual representation of one bird winning over the other to become a symbol.

[@logenvestfold4143]

1. Humans eating chimpanzees would absolutely be cannibalism. 2. Birds are more diverse than mammals, therefore a bird eating a distantly related bird would be like us eating a cow. 3. Woodstock is a sparrow-like bird of the neo-aves clade; turkeys are fowls meaning they would be as distantly related as we are to marsupials.

[@BigBeakEntertainment]

I'm genuinely glad KZbin is a place we can adjudicate whether or not Woodstock committed cannibalism in A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.

Peanuts is a pretty apt name considering the original comics had a hearty crunchiness to them. That crunch is no long present in the Apple TV specials.

[@GeneSavage]

Yeah, the Apple videos are... every other kid's show in Peanuts' clothing. BORING. No humor, no life observations, no dark quips, no real depression... they need to get Peanuts fans to write Peanuts specials. I've tried to watch them, but there's just nothing of Schulz left in them.

[@BigBeakEntertainment]

I think the nature of children's television has changed too, maybe that's the broader conversation. There's a greater emphasis placed on healthy social interaction instead of slapstick violence.

[@GeneSavage]

@@BigBeakEntertainment True. I think Schulz might also argue that, despite what the networks believed, he wrote as much for adults as kids. As you pointed out, cruelty and failure were hallmarks of the strips and episodes. Schulz once said he might have the darkest comic strip of them all. I feel the current writers just don't know what made Peanuts special. They were kids dealing with adult problems.

[@ariesroc]

@@BigBeakEntertainment Thank goodness I grew up in an era where children's television had humor, violence, scares and sincerity that understood that kids grow up. So much now seems to be about being in an ongoing state of infancy.

[@icecreamhero2375]

Yeah. The characters are in character but they significantly toned down the deadpan humor. They are we either heavily censored or aimed at a younger Target demographic.

[@icecreamhero2375]

@@ariesroc That stuff is still on tv. Just look at Teen Titians Go. I think Apple forced them to aim at a younger target demographic.

[@castironchaos]

If history is to be believed, "A Charlie Brown Christmas" single-handledly caused the downfall of "aluminum Christmas trees" -- the big, gaudy, obviously fake kind, at least -- and for the next few decades we saw mostly "realistic" Christmas trees in the stores.

[@DenderFriend]

I think the Peanuts specials on Apple seem cute but they definitely feel more sincere than you'd really expect from Peanuts. It'd be like if a Calvin and Hobbes special was about Calvin learning to appreciate his mom. There should be a little bit of edge Also glad I'm not the only one pushing the Marcy x Peppermint Patty agenda. They knew what they were doing with the rose pedals

FWIW, I'm *pretty* sure my late father (b. 1926 - d. 1993) had me named Lucy after pre-1964 Lucy Van Pelt.

10:36 Given that Snoopy's hands are both full and there was no way for him to throw that, we can only HOPE it was mud...

[@briandonegan8480]

8:47. Marci and Peppermint Pattie with the eggs bit is honestly one of my favorite gags in the entire series or at least one of yhe funniest. A close second is Snoopy laughing at the movie on the plane to Paris in Bon Voyage Charlie Brown

[@Dindlecomic1]

I Just noticed that the part where Violet is dancing in this video is one of the most replayed..

[@CDSCRATCH10]

That was pretty good Do you think you're ever gonna review the peanuts movie?

No, I have too much respect for it

[@DaemonCorps]

I think you really got to the heart of what's wrong with the Apple specials and with how people see Peanuts in general. There are literal decades worth of Peanuts comics to adapt or get more direct inspiration from, and yet people have come to see Peanuts as something more on par with a greeting card-- cute and disposable. Disney did similar with Mickey Mouse for years before those recent shorts came out that are absolutely hilarious. Peanuts kiiiinda did this when they got the Pearls Before Swine guy to make Happiness is a Warm Blanket, but it's admittedly a "meh" special that I have a feeling spooked the Peanuts people into staying in their lane, which is a bit of a bummer. Good video. Have you considered doing other newspaper comics videos, or is Peanuts the only one you're familiar enough with?

[@shewolfcub3]

Honestly I really loved Happiness Is A Warm Blanket. Shermy and Patty being back somewhat in the spotlight and having lines was fun since I really love them as characters and wash oping for it for a while. Patty's a fun character and has a few handfuls of hilarious lines and moments from the comics when she was relevant and she acts a bit different without Violet or Lucy, and Shermy I like for his athleticism, the older strips where he was basically Charlie Brown's one step up in everything and his original closest friend

[@Gendernt_Is_Silly]

I would actually pay out my entire life savings to watch a peanuts special about the murder of Thompson

[@Iliketosayhelloalot]

I watched the entire 1 hour and seventeen minute original video Im gonna watch this 30 minute one

[@BigBeakEntertainment]

I would have made it longer if I knew people actually sat through the hour and half one.

[@bookwyrmbaneoftheplothole8500]

Good shit, now all we need is the educational specials, the space station one was always my favorite as a kid
