The Origins of Charlie Brown

[@colin6768]

Anybody who doesn't feel sorry for Charlie Brown has a heart of stone.

[@milahancock6405]

Exactly! I can’t take the rudeness of those kids making Charlie Brown feel like complete garbage. I don’t understand why everybody in the cartoon have to treat him that way

[@nasticanasta]

colin6768 he's a cartoon...

[@nasticanasta]

Mila Hancock if you had any brains you would know Charlie Brown is the hero in the end....also these were different times,judging the past through your overly sensitive social justice glasses is the height of stupidity

[@skunkman9815]

My heart isn’t stone

[@dougmangum7997]

When Schultz passed away legendary football coach Tom Landry also passed away. A cartoon marked the occasion by showing Landry and CB walking into the sunset, and Landry saying "Now Charlie, about that football."

[@mirfir]

Doug Mangum beautiful

[@ElanaVital83]

Weirdness: whenever I watch Charlie brown I want marshmallows in hot chocolate or ice cream...I think it's some childhood association or something.

[@vincentfranklin17]

To this day, I love good ol: Charlie Brown!

[@ACluelessKid]

I can't think of a generation that doesn't know what the Peanuts is. Interesting video, but didn't the mumbling adults only appear in the cartoon?

[@icecreamhero2375]

They were never on screen in the comic.

[@Blockheadgeorge]

Your wrong on one thing: The last original strip came out on February 13, 2000 a day after Schulz's death

[@Boris91939]

Jorge Sainz well actually January 3 2000 was when the final daily strip was published while the day after Schulz’s death, February 13 was when the final Sunday strip was published but yeah they did forgot when Peanuts legitimately ended its comic syndication

[@stevenbaer4979]

Charlie Brown will be with us as long mankind is on the earth. I have a few 📀 DVD of episodes of Charlie Brown. Snoopy isn't your ordinary cartoon dog, he can cook, clean the house, do detective work, play sports, try to get after the notorious Red Baron on his flying dog house. He can drive a car, use a typewriter, read a book at the library.

[@RitaMBuda-tz6bi]

I've always loved the Peanuts Gang comic strips and the TV shows since I was a kid many years ago, an still do to this very day. 😇😇😁😁

[@GalaxyGirl08]

I love Charlie Brown! They always play the appropriate episode for the holidays on TV! Yesterday, they played a thanksgiving episode I really enjoyed it!

[@MultiAnimationdude]

SOLACEBOY, I'm afraid said material has been made, and Warner Bros. isn't the one to make it. It's from Nickelodeon, the previous holder of Peanuts film material. It was made over a year before this was posted. The series is called "Victorious", and it stars a female named Tori Vega, who shares Charlie Brown's bad luck, endless ambition, and circle of friends. Namely, the series has adapted Schroeder (Andre), Linus (Robbie), Lucy (Jade), Sally (Cat), Snoopy (Beck), and Violet (Trina).

[@icecreamhero2375]

Nah Linus is nothing like Robbie. Robbie is Jewish is very nerdy and socially inept and carries Rex everywhere. Linus is the smartest character, he is logical, he is childish sometimes, he is obsessed with his stupid blanket, and he is the philosophical one. Robbie is kind of an idiot. Everything else was spot on.

[@melissacooper4282]

Mojo really goofed on which clips from which Peanuts special they were showing! Here are the following corrections: 0:16 and 3:46 It's Your First Kiss Charlie Brown. 0:20, 1:27, 2:02, 2:10, 3:24, and 3:35 You're In Love Charlie Brown.

Linus ,Schroeder,Snoopy and Charlie Brown are my favorites!

[@sriramnallan]

Good Ol Charlie Brown

[@patrickperalta59]

sadly Schulz's wish for Charlie Brown and the Gang not continue has been ignored.. true no comic strips have come out that I know of....... but I've seen several new cartoon specials come out over the years. a shame that happen.

[@TheRetailman]

I like the story that when the dog in For Better or Worst was going to be killed off Schultz just jokingly said I'll have snoopy get run overed so people would take the other dog death better and hate Schultz instead

[@WhiteWith2DreamyEyes]

Schulz's last CB comic skit was mentioned. I saw it. It was a drawing of Snoopy at his typewriter typing a note thanking all Schulz's readers over the years. I wanted his last CB comic to be something more relevant to the storyline, but from Schulz's perspective, I guess it was the right thing to do. So I'd like to see his 2nd to last skit

[@WhiteWith2DreamyEyes]

I did, thanx. It was PP & Marcie in the rain talking to CB (unseen) about finishing a ball game

[@hondacr-vtouringguy8327]

[@kylebulger4240]

Unfortunately Schultz’s wish never came true because between 2000 and 2003 children’s book author Mo Willems continued Schultz’ drawings before his first children’s book Don’t Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus

[@stephanieevjen]

With this, I wonder if WatchMojo will do Top 10 Peanuts Characters or Top 10 Peanuts specials.

[@josiahjenksisawesome]

When will you do a Big Nate Origin? Please consider it?

[@hermanwooster8944]

I thought we were going to get the real origins of Charlie Brown. I guess I'll add it here. Charles Schultz was working on his new comic, Peanuts and was trying to get nation-wide distribution. At the same time he fell in love with a red-headed girl called Donna Mae Johnson who worked at the accounting department of Art Instruction Inc. where Schultz was an instructor. Schultz and her began dating and she even asked him to elope, but he said he didn't want to offend her mother who opposed their dating. He later would tell her he wished he had a ring to propose to her, but she replied that she wasn't interested in marriage. After three years of dating, he finally received syndication for the comic. Elated, he went to her house and told her the good news and proposed, yet he didn't demand an answer right away. Instead, he gave her a statue of a white cat and asked her to put it on her desk whenever she was ready. Unbeknownst to him, Donna was also dating Al Wold. Al Wold proposed to her a few weeks later after Schultz. A few weeks after that, she decided to marry Wold. This news was devastating for Schultz who cried and even came back to her house to see if she changed her mind. She said she almost did but still married Al. This had a profound effect on Schultz and his comic. Despite obtaining syndication and nation-wide popularity, Charlie Brown would forever be grief-stricken and unable to win the red-headed girl. When Schultz was failing in health in 1999, he was asked if Charlie Brown would ever be able to kick the football. He responded, "Oh, no. Definitely not. I couldn't have Charlie Brown kick that football; that would be a terrible disservice to him after nearly half a century." Yet in December of the same year, he held back tears as he said, "All of a sudden I thought, 'You know, that poor, poor kid, he never even got to kick the football. What a dirty trick-he never had a chance to kick the football.'" When Schultz announced his retirement, Donna Johnson Wold said, "I'd like to see Charlie Brown kick that football, and if he gets the little red-haired girl, that's fine with me." That is the real origin of Charlie Brown.

[@DocWolph]

"Calvin and Hobbes" is the only true successor to "Peanuts".

[@funkyfeem727]

Peanuts is amazing, I really love the comics and the tv cartoons. I hope the new movie will to my beloved series justice :) my faves are Peppermint Patty, Marcy, Linus and Charlie Brown (though I actually like all of the characters in there own ways) :)

[@jeffreydevoti7000]

Enjoyed Peanuts for over 54 years. Even had bedsheets with the characters & Snoopy on his Sopwith Camel for the pillowcase.

Charles Schulz did alot of Culture. He introduced Franklin shortly after Dr. King died in 1968. Before she was in The Black Eyed Peas Stacey Ferguson aka "Fergie" was the Voice of Charlie Brown and Steven Hartman played The Voice of Charlie Brown who played Young Rick Forrester on The Bold & The Beautiful.

Something I always wanted to know about Snoopy: Was he the first cartoon dog to walk on his hind legs? Also, was the fact that Snoopy walked on his hind legs the thing that made him popular?

[@icecreamhero2375]

no the fact that he was funny adorable and awesome

[@nightisright1873]

No it was the addition of the reader being able to read his thoughts .It gave him more depth as a character.Then he started doing things like writing a novel .Thats what made him so popular

As far as new Peanuts material, we haven't seen much from Warner Bros. except for the "motion comics" and the TV special "Happiness Is A Warm Blanket". They have however released more content from the Peanuts film library on DVD than previous owner Paramount, plus introducing some content to Blu-ray and download/streaming services. As the franchise enters its 65th year in existence, 20th Century Fox will be releasing the first new theatrical Peanuts film since 1980's "Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (And Don't Come Back!)" plus Paramount will be releasing "Bon Voyage" and "Race For Your Life, Charlie Brown" on DVD for the first time, and a new French produced TV series will be coming around for the international market.

[@RMoribayashi]

Conspicuous by their absence are those involved with the animated specials. In paarticular Producer/Director Bill Melendez and Composer/Pianist Vince Guaraldi, whose cool jazz style unexpectedly fit Peanuts like a glove. He created all the music up until his death in 1976. Most music after that were rearrangements of Guaraldi's themes.

[@SuperAwesomeness64]

So wait, Charles Shulz said that Peanuts shouldn't be continued in any way, and yet they already made a new animated special on DVD and they're making an computer animated movie for 2015? Talk about breaking a promise!

[@stitchthealien409]

Actually, Charles said that the Peanuts comic strip cannot be contiued by anyone else but he never said anything about other Peanuts tv shows, movies, specials and comic books since he always considered other media separate from the Peanuts comic strips.

[@GregoryTheGr8ster]

At the very least, Charlie Brown should kick Lucy instead of trying to kick the ball. She's mean, and she needs to taste justice. Did you notice how Lucy actually throws her fists at Snoopy at 3:28?

[@alize0623]

Robot Chicken did it

[@melissacooper4282]

Actually, Charlie Brown did kick Lucy, but by accident. In the storyline Charlie Brown was in the hospital and Lucy was very upset about it. She actually makes a promise to Charlie Brown that if he got well she'll never pull the football away again. Anyway he recovered and Lucy kept her promise. Unfortunately Charlie Brown missed the ball and kicked her hand.
