A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

Spend Thanksgiving with good ol' Charlie Brown!

1973 25 min ★ 7.3 (301) Released
Animation Comedy Family TV Movie

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.

There is some hate behind this for no reason aside from what Lenin said about having to destroy the culture. A lot of culture and traditions have been under attack due to false pretenses lately haven't they? Anyway, like Christmas and The Great Pumpkin: You love it first because it is a wonderful and beautiful story. Then you love it because it has become nostalgic. And then you love it because it has become a generational tradition. In other words it stands the test of time, just like the Thanksgiving pick-up football game stands the test of time. Just like the dinner, and the family affair that it depicts stands the test of time. In other words, it is a timeless and beautiful depiction of our culture and traditions. No wonder people want to destroy it,

To start off with I give this one a 68% rating, I rate the Great Pumpkin 85% and The Christmas Special 80%. This one is also good, but it does not quite match the other 2 as it's the 3rd in the Charlie Brown Holiday specials, it just does not have the feel that the other 2 had, they were great from start to finish, kept me interested & were funny at times. This one was actually a bit boring in several scenes, it did not have that normal Charlie Brown cute feel all the way through, only at times did I think I was watching something similar to the 1st 2. Also I missed the original voice of Charlie Brown, Peter Robbins, who as a child voiced Charlie Brown in cartoon classics such as “A Charlie Brown Christmas” (1965) and “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” (1966). Robbins died by suicide January 18th 2022, He was 65, he was replaced at age 14 as he did his last Charlie Brown in 1969. Robbins, born Louis G. Nanasi, was the first to play the lovably insecure lead character of the Peanuts gang created by cartoonist Charles Schulz. he suffered from bipolar disorder and fought addiction, completed a prison stint in 2019 after making criminal threats to law enforcement and others. Even at the age of 61 I still watch all 3 Charlie Brown Holiday Specials every year as part of our annual Family tradition, it began when I was little, I continued it on with my 4 Kids & grand kids, & now it's just my Wife I enjoying them, and this one just adds 1 more to the list. Overall it's just a bit slower moving than the other 2 specials and I watched it in 4K, but I believe I prefer it in it's original lower quality form. Also where is Lucy? how could she not be around & either be invited or invite herself as Peppermint Patty did & the song they sing early in the Movie, I really did not care for it at all. I gave it just under 70% rating but only because it's Charlie Brown & most of the gang, & it's a Holiday Special & the little ones should enjoy it, but this one is probably going to be too boring for any older kids, otherwise I would have rated it much lower, if it had been 1st in the series it would be rated barely a 60%.
