A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving
Snoopy and Woodstock
As always, Snoopy is the heart and soul of Peanuts. One thing showing his character traits is the elegant, yet obscure way he set up the table, such as his origami by each plate. And what was the deal with his fight between that chair? It may have been crazy, but it was fun crazy. I believe the best and funniest part of this holiday special is the part they hadn’t shown for years- when after Snoopy gave them a feast of toast and popcorn he saved the turkey and the pumpkin pie for himself and Woodstock. How could they cut that part out!
Charlie Brown Aka “That Blockhead”
After watching all the specials and reading the comic strip I have to wonder, why is everyone so mean to Charlie Brown? I know it’s an important part of the Peanuts mythology and without it Peanuts wouldn’t be the same. Everybody is so mean to him that he seems to even think those things about himself. My example is when he say’s that he ruined everybody’s Thanksgiving. No Charlie Brown, that would be Peppermint Patty’s fault. That poor guy, always waiting by the mailbox each year for the mail that will never come.
The Feast
Why did Snoopy even put plates on the table if he’s just going to knock them off with other plates? And I can’t help but wonder how Linus, a young boy who carries around a blanket, can memorize all those long, elegant prayers. It was a beautiful thing though, reminding us of the real spirit of Thanksgiving. Marci even added on to that with her conversation with Peppermint Patty. And how could those kids’s think it’s a normal Thanksgiving dinner without any adults? I feel sorry for both Snoopy and Charlie Brown because of the way Peppermint Patty was acting. Anyways it was nice of Charlie Brown and his grandmother to take his friends over for Thanksgiving dinner… especially after the way Peppermint Patty treated him.
The Annual Football Kick
Charlie Brown can be dense can’t he? I remember recently I’ve read the very first strip in which someone pulled the football away from Charlie Brown’s foot, and guess what… it wasn’t Lucy; instead it was Violet, a character that eventually disappeared from the strip. But soon a tradition was born, for the next time this would happen it would be Lucy pulling the football away, and unlike what Lucy said in this special, Charlie Brown’s football kick (and miss) has become a tradition, very much like this special, which has survived year after year.
