Did Charles Schultz work on this?

Bill Melendez, who directed almost all of the Peanuts specials.

"You might as well not believe in fairies. You might as well not believe the sun will rise in the morning & set in the evening." Merry Christmas everyone

What they said.

[@cubdukat]

No, his producer, the late Bill Melendez did. When I first saw it, I thought the same thing too. This would seem to be his animation style.

[@lamontyaboy718]

This animation looks poor for 1986 special must be much older but just reran in 86.

[@AndrewsMagicandMore]

This special was actually first aired in 1974. The promo shown here was for a rerun

[@jasonbeard4713]

Yes, the entire production was poor, however, it was great to hear Jim Backus.

[@dannewnam2701]

Peanuts Rip-Off.

[@cubdukat]

Same producer, same animation style, different story, no rip-off. Besides, Sparky himself had no issues with it.

[@diamondking3421]

That is some bad animation.

[@jasonbeard4713]

Terribly bad, using magic markers to color the cels.

[@QuadMochaMatti]

The same could be said for all of this Disney/Pixar garbage, and the other computer graphics animation tripe today.
