SnoopyStyle Peppermint Patty calls Charlie Brown to brag about being sent to Europe as a foreign exchange student with Marcie. To her dismay, Charlie Brown and Linus are also going. Snoopy and Woodstock join them. Everybody says "Bon Voyage" and Lucy yells "and Don't Come Back!". Charlie Brown receives a letter from Violette Honfleur inviting him to stay at the Château du Mal Voisin (The House of the Bad Neighbor). They fly to London and take the train to Dover crossing the channel on the boat.This doesn't have the childhood isolation of other Peanuts stuff. The adults talk. The gang is reduced to the six characters. Going to France is going to another world. This is still a nice journey outside of the strictly traditional Peanuts world. It has the great childish wonder. I just wish the whole gang is there with them.

tfrizzell The title is the best part of this third and final installment of the "Peanuts" set of films. This time most of the major characters only have token appearances as Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Peppermint Patty and company head to France as exchange students. Naturally Charlie has some European relatives his own age that also have receding hairlines. As with "Boy Named Charlie Brown" and "Race for Your Life Charlie Brown", this entry suffers from a lack of material. The characters are just cardboard cutouts (they are just flat newspaper entities). It is near impossible to sustain enough interest to make a theatrical release. Still they gave three fair tries from 1969 to 1980, but ultimately all the productions are little more than obscure footnotes to the cinematic history of the era. 2.5 out of 5 stars.

kenny_c_hueholt This movie aired today on a local WB affiliate and I really enjoyed it. It's interesting to see Charlie Brown and Linus get involved with spooky mysterious things going on (similar to the Scooby-Doo format). It was nice to learn about the history of Charlie Brown's family. Also, it was an exciting scene when they had to save Linus from a burning building. This is one of Charlie Brown's best films.

Coxer99 The magic created by Charles Schultz comes to the screen with the return of the always charming "Peanuts" gang. This time, they're headed for France for culture, but as always, this crowd finds some way to get into trouble. One of the better movies based on the famous comic strip.
