Horst in Translation ([email protected]) I know I don't. I have never been too big on The Peanuts and this half-hour here cannot change my approach to them either. Emmy voters think different obviously as they nominated this cartoon from over 40 years ago. Then again they did so almost every time and sometimes even handed them the win, so they were probably a bit biased. The director is Phil Roman again and Charles M. Schulz obviously wrote it. I found the entire Easter Beagle plot pretty uninteresting. The Beagle's scenes with Woodstock weren't better either. The only somewhat funny thing were the failed attempts at cooking and painting Easter Eggs. Pretty much all of the child actors who voiced the characters did not act in anything else, so no famous names here either where one could be interested about their work in their younger years. All in all, not a memorable short movie. Not recommended.

Angels_Review What can I say, I really like Charlie Brown Specials most of the time. This one is one of my favorites because I grew up with it as a child. It's jokes are actually rather good and are pretty much funny. In fact, the very first joke is with Marci and Peppermint Patty where Marci brings eggs over to color at Patty's house, but then starts frying them up when she gets there and as Patty is making the dye. It's cute, and though it may be a little off at times, you have to remember these are young kids who don't seem to have a adult around to help them.Again, as with almost every holiday in the peanuts world, Snoopy goes overboard and is the spokes character for the holiday. In this case, throwing Easter eggs to the children as he skipped and hoped around. I had to laugh at the ending part. Not going to spoil it for you though. Also, each joke follows the same lines as the first few shows in where we would get a small scene with an end joke and then jump to the next. Sometimes the joke will run for multiple scenes depending on what they can get out of it but nothing really feels as though they stretched it to long.The artwork really doesn't give me much to talk about because it's the same that we have had from the show, the characters looking as though they came straight from the comic pages. That alone makes it a treasure in my book plus the fact that this it's pretty much a timeless classic. It's one that may not get a full 5 stars out of 5, but it will be one that I would encourage people to watch.

Catherine_Grace_Zeh In my opinion, this is an excellent holiday special which is very hip and hilarious. However, I couldn't bear seeing Marcie (voice of Peter Robbins) having to boil all those Easter eggs herself while Peppermint Patty yelled at her so she would do it right. In addition, the thing that really makes this special worth watching is the score, especially "Linus And Lucy." When that song is performed, I always get warm and tingly. I would have to say that's my favorite song of this special. If you ask me, Charles M. Schulz was a really good artist. In conclusion, I highly recommend this excellent Easter special which is very hip and hilarious to everyone, especially all you fans of the comic strip who have not seen it. When you see it, prepare to smile and have a good time.

richklingman This is as depressing as the rest of the specials, though not as much as the Christmas one. It's amazing to me that more of my generation didn't grow up angst-ridden because of pap like this. You want to THROTTLE Lucy and the rest of the girls, save for Peppermint Patty, who at least tries to be nice to Charlie Brown, and give the rest of the gang a whop upside the head while imitating Cher in 'Moonstruck': "Snap out of it!" When CBS chose not to air any of the specials one year I sat down and wrote a personal letter to Roone Arledge, CEO at the time, profusely thanking him. These shows should be put in the dustbin, have kerosene poured over them, and set alight!
