Howard Thompson New York Times Most of the time you'll smile or chuckle. Sep 30, 2006 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times It's kind of schizo. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 30, 2006 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy There's a great running gag involving a string of "No Dogs Allowed" signs, and the film is alternately humorous and heart-tugging. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 6, 2021 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) There's a certain moroseness to [the Peanuts movies] which is part of the reason why I like them... they are emotionally true and honest and treat kids as full human beings. Rated: 6/10 Feb 12, 2019 Full Review Paul Chambers Movie Chambers Most of the reasons we all loved the TV specials are well-served by the second film in the series Rated: A Sep 24, 2016 Full Review Renee Schonfeld Common Sense Media Adventure-filled Peanuts journey has some sad moments. Rated: 4/5 Sep 13, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Laura C Non credevo che un film di Snoopy mi avrebbe fatto emozionare così tanto. Da vedere assolutamente almeno una volta nella vita. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Over 50 years old and I still like this as one of the better Peanut movies I remember renting this on vhs as a kid Watched it a few times Now I have clearer picture of my experience; The film itself stars Charlie Brown, his friends and of course the beagle himself Snoopy This film also marks the introduction of his yellow bird pal Woodstock The story here is that we learn Snoopy has had several relatives the day he was born he just doesn't live with all of them at the same time One day he gets a letter from his original owner Lila She is sick in the hospital and wishes to see her beloved dog before it's too late To Charlie Brown's shock Snoopy decides to pack up and go therefore not only leaving him behind but the rest of the Peanuts gang It's actually downright saddening the creators would take this kind of approach separating the cartoon's mascot from his owner Most of the goodbye scenes particularly the going away party is just cruel and funny enough I mean yikes that's a lot of emotional scarring to put on these kids especially the viewers whom are younger-targeted In truth it's not that Charlie Brown was an upbeat cartoon to begin with The kid has had to go through a lot of tough stuff for his age being lonely, almost friendless, and getting the short end of the stick mainly around the holidays Lots of scenes that kinda end up stopping the story altogether just for the sake of keeping the kids entertained Still the movie ends up being very funny for most of it; Snoopy travels across the country to find this girl and faces a lot of backlash that doesn't allow dogs to be in public spaces At its most profound it's a look at how discrimination affects us and moves us to act Some tough choices are made Real consequences are faced head on and feelings are hurt, mended, but never put back together the same way We could all use more hellos in our lives This is still very humor-filled and tugs at the heartstrings in many respects Really great music choices by the Sherman Brothers themselves Thankfully the whole film isn't focusing on Charlie Brown's depressive state but instead it lets him deal with real feelings of loss and loneliness in a way that's relatable The late Bill Melendez and co. offer one of their finest Peanuts outings from way back This will forever stand the test of time for generations young and old Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved this movie sad happy hallarious Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/08/23 Full Review Audience Member The second of the Peanuts movies made, but probably the fourth best out of the current five movies. Additionally, this is the first animated appearances of Snoopy's bird pal Woodstock, Franklin (in appearance only no dialogue) and Snoopy's first owner Lila. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Meydiana R Snoopy Come Home was mostly a nostalgia trip for me, so I can't say how well it will play to new audiences, but I enjoyed looking at it again.
