Audience Member 50 years old and the late Bill Melendez continues his winning streak of the Peanuts gang and his animators Charlie Brown and the others have Easter coming up and they are too distracted by the other holiday sales going on Linus couldn't be more excited to see the Easter Beagle who he believes brings treats around this time of year Meanwhile Peppermint Patty and Marcie are attempting to make eggs but can't get it right Snoopy then makes a birdhouse for Woodstock of course it doesn't last long He even pictures himself dancing with Bunny-Wunnys (actual characters from a children's book series) There's no overall moral or payoff with this one although for Charlie Brown he's a character that continues to endure getting knocked down time and time again It's just a relaxing watch for the whole family set around the Easter holiday No big statement on religion or challenges the characters have to overcome, just a hint of faith Just very sweet, colorful, and funny as most of the specials are It is interesting though to learn that Charles Schulz actually wrote Bible passages in his early comic strips, it would upset many people of course but his intention was to convey a universal truth for little kids that they are like us preparing to go into the real world You could also interpret that everything is bought and sold through commercialization when it comes to the shopping mall scene Another timeless classic to add to the roster with a springlike feel to the production Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review NOAH D At first I did not know that this movie was real but I seen it on tv and it became one of my favorite charity brown movie Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/14/23 Full Review christopher c. m Not sure why he kept saying Easter Beagle? Maybe Linus was afraid of rabbits when he was little and his parents changed bunny to beagle to ease his bunny phobia. I like the connection to the Halloween special not that everything resets and the event happened. But this one feels less of a story and more like a series of sketches. Funny sketches mind you but sketches. Like how Peppermint Patty keeps trying to teach Marcie how to make Easter eggs forgetting the key words "Hard boiled". A slow but fun holiday special. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It just seems Peanuts can make a good tv special for any holiday, & this is a good example. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member It was a very good, funny and really fast-paced Peanuts animated holiday special. It had good animation, really colorful artwork, good voice cast, great characters, plenty of laughs, really good music and a very good story. This is one of the best Peanuts specials I've ever seen. Both kids and adults will like this one. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member another fun Charlie Brown holiday special granted this one has no real payoff at the end or valuable lesson to teach the young ones but it's still fun to watch the Peanuts gang take part in their own crazy antics for this one it's Easter and Linus just like before convinces everyone that a figure named the Easter Beagle delivers all the eggs and treats to children as per usual it's adorable watching Snoopy and Yellow Bird bounce off of one another the parts with Pepper Ann and Marcy are a laugh as they constantly try to prepare eggs for the hunt and the whole insertion of X-Mas is silly enough having Snoop be the Beagle bringing the joy all around still, what is Easter really about? that's the question the characters toss around Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
