Charlie Brown It's the Pied Piper, Charlie Brown

[TheBuffalo29]

Good song Schroeder plays on his piano.

Midnight Blue

I never thought I'd see the day when adults actually appear in a Peanuts cartoon.(you actually see their faces and hear them talk clearly;instead of only hearing"WAU WAU WAU WAU")

[KBAFourthtime]

The mayor and his council are examples of false protagonists, right?

[SyntaxMagenta]

14:04 That's part of the Big Top Polka theme from Earthworm Jim 2!

[MrDemomanman]

23:30 oh god

ive had dreams like this

[DBZAOTA482]

This really is the black sheep of the Peanuts animated titles.

[murpkuriz]

I want that sofa in the Charlie Browns' house.

[starfirebianca]

Cute mice.=)

[JackoB716]

I always love this movie since childhood. Thanks for showing it. :)

[steamerthesteamtrain]

my first charlie brown cartoon

[clochette67]

So well done and clever !!! Thanks for sharing ;)

[Pokemonfr34ks]

I remember when i watched this as a little kid.

That was memories.

[KBAFourthtime]

Sally must just have chosen "The Pied Piper" because of the differences in weight. She must be a genius for how she weighed them.

Also, when Schroeder was playing the piano, was that supposed to be "Pathetique 2"?

[alicialover88]

They had Cell Phones back then 

[beefchops2011]

I love that music at the end, wish I could find a full version of it.

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

This could've been the first in a mini-series that never was; a mini-series where the Li'l Folks reenact folktales.

"If you'll listen to Charlie Brown, Mr. Mayor..." Yeah, mayor. Didn't you hear?

Lucy's the boss

So listen to Lucy

And here's what Lucy says

"Promises are promises." And if you don't keep yours, a dog with an accordion and a bad outfit will come along and turn you into a bad singer.

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

I theorize that when a special is drawn more poorly than usual, even fer THESE folks, then the characters introduced - namely, adults - don't look like they were drawn fer Peanuts. In fact, they don't even look like they were drawn in Schulz' distinctive style. In one shot with mayor and council singing out on the town, the townsfolk look as if they were drawn for another comic, Ziggy. So is this a regular special or a crossover?

[SnowbirdFlock]

@U1986NuclearGrounds We have this on VCR. I don't like it much; it just doesn't seem like authentic Schulz: Riverdance mice, mayor & council appearing more than the kids, and yes, they AREN'T drawn in Schulz's style

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

If you ever get the chance, you should just sell it.

[SnowbirdFlock]

@U1986NuclearGrounds probably will, when my girls lose all interest in it. And that part when the politicians sing "Goodnite Sweetheart" has gotta go!

[chyman]

@SnowbirdFlock and CELL PHONE?? i just gagged :/

[SnowbirdFlock]

@chyman seems that Schulz was rolling with the times. Big mistake. I'm sure most old-school Peanuts fans like me would agree that he should've kept his style like it was in the years 1961-66

[TheHeidelbergKid]

@SnowbirdFlock If anything goes on long enough, the people making it have to decide whether to get with the times and lose their old audience for a new one, or stay as is and keep their old audience at the expense of a new one.

[AlienAbandoned]

Oh gosh, nostalgia. I always enjoyed watching Charlie Brown but I forgot how darn repetitive it can be, what with the repeating images, never-ending piano swanky music, and the circuitous dialogue that takes forever to get somewhere. Existentialism in cartoon form? :P Charlie Brown is one blase kid.

[supersexyghotmew95]

@ichiRukia3 hey when are ya going to put up new episodes bro

[ToonJoey34]

I love that song at 23:23 to 24:19

[StukInBuf]

The 2nd time around, Snoopy leads the BIGGEST rats of all out of town.

How easy it would be to rid ourselves of some of the biggest ultra-lib scourges to inhabit Congress, and many of our state legislatures...

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

Throw in visits by some coyotes and the Head Beagle, and we got a deal. (But I still can't believe Charlie was gonna read War And Peace of all things to his sister. Ugh.)

[superrachael15]

my parents and i love charlie brown it is my favorite episode and we watch every hoilday ones on the the hoildays

[laurenhooba]

another special that had talking adults.

[solartiger346]

I love ending and feel sorry for patty and lucy

[KBAFourthtime]

By the way, I loved this when I was a kid.

[KBAFourthtime]

I once got this for one of my birthdays on videotape and it came with a special presentation.

[supersexyghotmew95]

@ichi3Rukia3 thanx bro

[supersexyghotmew95]

Thanx

[supersexyghotmew95]

I do not know why EVERYBODY HATES THIS I love it please don't kill me

[Ichi3Rukia3]

@supersexyghotmew95 This is a cool version of the title, Schultz Style =)

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

Because it's boring. Sometimes you get a special that's genuinely entertaining, other times you get one that's as forgettable as the strips from the later years. The only real bright spot is that the Brown sibs finally resolve their bedroom issues. Also, the sports mice aren't particularly threatening; they're even cuter than Woodstock and his avian brethren. I guess Sally won't permit rabies, either.

[KBAFourthtime]

@supersexyghotmew95 I loved this as a kid, so not everybody hates it.

[starfirebianca]

@supersexyghotmew95, really? Me too!
