Rife
with political satire and social commentary, "You're Not Elected" is
one of the more entertaining animated adventures by the Peanuts
Gang. In it Charles Schulz and co. tackle the political industry by
pinning the classmates of Charlie's school against each other in a
brutal match for class president.

"You're Not Elected" features
some classic bits from the Peanuts history that left me
laughing rather loudly. From Sally introducing Charlie to
her class during a Show and Tell speech, to a disastrous Q&A
phone session involving Linus, "You're Not Elected" is one
of the better specials to come along in the legacy.
There isn't much to "You're
Not Elected" except for wacky for misadventures, all of
which are meant to lampoon the electoral process and for the
most part it works both as a comedy and a slick tongue in
cheek wink to the audience about the often absurd notion of
political elections and how chaotic they can be. |

Even for elementary schoolers.
A slick and
humorous satirizing of the political process in America, "You're Not
Elected Charlie Brown" is a special that many audiences won't understand
save for the audiences old enough to vote.
