New York Times Can amount to either a delightful experience or a pleasant but slightly wearing one, depending upon the intensity of one's fascination with the basic "Peanuts" my...[ END HERE ]tique Rated: 3/5 Jun 6, 2011 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn I didn't really enjoy this compared to the other "Peanuts" specials. The characters were terrible to each other. Rated: 2/5 Sep 4, 2022 Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn This was an enjoyable, slightly unhinged "Peanuts" film that flew by fairly quickly. Rated: 3/5 Sep 4, 2022 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy There are some nice moments, but the film too often places plot ahead of characters. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 6, 2021 Full Review James Berardinelli ReelViews A movie whose primary demographic won't be charmed, amused, or enraptured. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 28, 2020 Full Review TV Guide The animation is no better than competent, but the film has a nice bluegrass-style musical score by Ed Bogas and should be fine for the kids and "Peanuts" fans.

Audience Member Over 50 years old and it’s another worthy Peanuts feature film by Lee Mendelson and Bill Melendez I remember seeing parts of it on tv In this third entry of the beloved comics strip Charlie Brown and the gang are going to a summer camp called Camp Remote They also face bullies thinking they’re better than them and being constantly sabotaged But if the Peanuts gang wants to succeed they’ll have to work together They camp in the woods, have to navigate, hackney sack races etc. Of course they elect Charlie Brown to be the leader even though he has no top experience The big competition is a river rafting race but it won’t be easy for the kids as the bullies always rely on dirty tactics and cheating Snoopy and Woodstock have their own adventures of course It’s only an hour and 12 minutes long falling short of perfect but it’s very charming for kids and Peanuts fans as usual will eat it up Charlie Brown also faces insecurities that many can relate to learning to lead, getting others to cooperate, being brave when he needs to Simple and straightforward for everyone Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/25/23 Full Review Meydiana R Best Animated! Best movie ever! Brings back a lot of childhood memories. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/28/22 Full Review Jarrod P "A Wet And Wild Thrill Ride... An Animated 'River Of No Return'. You Have To Watch It More Than Once". Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Best movie ever! Brings back a lot of childhood memories Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I hadn't seen this in years, so it was fun watching it again. I admit it's not as good as some of the other Peanuts movies, but I liked it. Lots of funny moments (who doesn't love Snoopy) and even some suspense. The ending wasn't at all what I was expecting and that's a good thing! Loved the opening scenes; such beautiful illustrations and the race itself was really exciting! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review spencer p It's not the worst Peanuts feature film, thanks to its fast-paced plot and occasional laughs, but it comes off as sad when amidst the heightened stakes and peril of this wilderness adventure, the majority of characters are still their same cringingly oblivious selves. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
