So we've finally made it to the granddaddy of all Peanuts specials, "A Charlie Brown Christmas"...one of the reasons I love this one is the drawing style of Charles Schulz at this time, which wasn't the cutesy, rounder style he went to in the 80's...then there's Snoopy, and him reading the paper while eating his stack of bones, along with the scene where he mocks Lucy, are absolute greatness...of course, EVERYONE is reminded of the dance scenes, so here's_a_loving_tribute or two...
The soundtrack is on my all-time, stranded-on-a-desert-isle top 10 cd list...for reals...about the only thing wrong with it is it doesn't include the upbeat number they play while Snoopy is decorating his house for the "Christmas Lights" contest...'tis worth a shoe toss...
"Is there anyone, who can tell me, why this is shown in NOVEMBER?!?!"...
...so this special is 42 years old, and the "kid" who voiced Charlie Brown is now 49...wow...
Wikipedia has a really cool article here...
Okay kids...there are a few other specials on the horizon...stay tuned...
