So...It has the Red baron Snoopy WWI fantasy...and that is what you remember. That is the most awesome part of any Charlie Brown movie. And...beyond that you have a kid making up a story and believing it that would, almost 30 years later, be spoofed in an episode of the Simpsons. So it has staying power. But really, it's a childhood classic that you love first because it is wonderful and touching, then later because it's nostalgic, and then later because it is a generational tradition. In other words it stands the test of time like the Godfather and so many other pure classics.

An Enjoyable Classic

You know, I'm not the most enormous fan of Charlie Brown stuff. My favorite specials are the Christmas one everyone knows, and the Easter one I'm super nostalgic about. I sort of grew-up on this special, as well, but it's never been one of my absolute favorite Halloween specials ever, even though I believe it's certainly one of the most creative and well-made Halloween specials on the face of the earth.This is a special special. It's timeless, in many ways, and I can enjoy that. I just think it's a little overhyped.The animation style and smoothness is great, and the music is wonderful, as per usual for anything involving Charlie Brown.This is one of my mom's favorite things to watch, and I pretty much always watch it with her, every year.I'm not really a fan of the moments like the Red Berring scene-that's a little out-of-place, in my opinion, and it's a good four or five minutes of this special.Everything else really recreates that October and Fall feeling we all feel, as children. That's what makes this a special special, and it's the reason I'll be watching it every year, as long as I live.The humor is probably the best of all the Charlie Brown specials, also. My personal favorite joke is what Lucy says about a girl's costume needing to be the contrast of her personality (which she, a mean kid, in general, pulls a witch mask over her face lol).If you haven't seen this one, try it out sometime. It's pretty nice, and a pleasant treat for Halloweentime.

So This is What Halloween Is About

Another beloved family Classic, even if it's about as slow paced as one could imagine. Nice, light comedy with Linus's mixing of holiday traditions; although the gang (and especially Sally) can be quite cruel, ultimately the focus on the misfits is uplifting, even if lightly satyrical. Snoopy's waking dream of fighting the read barron, which ultimately leads to an encounter with Linus's vision of the Great Pumpkin in the patch, is brilliant. Just two questions: how old are these kids? And why is Charlie Brown basically bald?Reviewed this after watching in 2020, not long after getting our Charlie Brown Halloween figures from the Bradford Exchange.
