PEANUTS DELUXE
HOLIDAY COLLECTION
|
|||||||||||
I think one of the reasons why I’ve had a fascination
with Charles Shulz all these years is because even though the children
speak as adults, the primary theme behind all of his specials has been
belief and the power of it. Do I agree with his Christian undertones?
No, but then his beliefs have never swayed otherwise entertaining
programs involving Charlie Brown and his Peanuts gang. The Goal for the
holiday collection is to (repackage DVD’s sure but to) introduce three
of the best television holiday specials ever made. Among the trio we’re
given (by order):
The whole theme of gratitude radiates through this thirty minute special about giving thanks through the eyes of Schulz and his crew. As an extra there’s also the half hour “The Mayflower Voyagers.” My favorite though is “Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!” a wonderful introduction in to the world of Charlie Brown from the Red Baron to a darned tree that needs some love, it’s one of the well acted animated specials I’ve ever seen and one I continue watching even in my age. Warner has pulled out all the stops with a special episode called “It’s Christmastime Again,” and a making of feature called “A Christmas Miracle” about the making of the television classic.
