Pluskylang Great Film overall

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Hitchcoc Unlike simple video presentations, this timeless Christmas offering is bit of comfort food as much as it is a piece of Americana. Charile Brown searches for the meaning of Christmas, running into the utter commercialism we all deride (yet we fill up the shopping malls anyway). Charlie (who is abused at every turn) takes on the role of the director a Christmas play, much to the disdain of his peers. They continually refer to him as a blockhead. Even his dog enters a Christmas lighting contest, turning his doghouse into a showplace. As time passes, the din of the season overwhelms our young hero to where he can't stand it anymore. He must seek out the true meaning of the holiday. This is a precious offering, utilizing one of the most recognizable soundtracks in all of cinema, and seems to give us a little boost at the holiday season. See it an grab a little childhood.

Angels_Review This was one of my personal favorites of the season. The story is about Charlie trying to do something right for a change when he has always been told he's good for nothing. When told to go buy a tree for a pageant at his church, he picks a small tree that is struggling to survive. He doesn't give up on the tree even when all his friends believe the tree is hopeless until he believes that he has killed it by placing one glass orb on it. The only point that bothers me is that sometimes the story becomes a little slow, and the jokes kind of fall a bit flat.The artwork is actually rather good for when it came out and who it portrays. You can almost never go wrong with the classics most times and this is no exception. It doesn't have to be fancy to get the point across that all people or things need is a little love to become something special. Sure there may be a couple little parts that seemed low end, but when you put it all together, it just works.The voices are done really well, and are actually pretty close to what I thought the characters would sound like from reading the comic strips when I was little. From Lucy's know-it-all attitude to Linus' philosophical quotes, each one makes the characters really stand out. Peter Robbins does a excellent job of giving Charlie Brown that wishy-washy town to his voice up till the point that everything goes wrong and giving him the all to familiar 'UGGGGGG' he's known for.

utgard14 A timeless Christmas classic. I have seen A Charlie Brown Christmas dozens of times since childhood. It never gets old. There's something truly special and heartwarming about this that just never ceases to put a smile on my face. The Vince Guaraldi music is amazing and perfect for the season. I think it gets better every year. I know when I was younger it was something both kids and adults could enjoy. I hope that's still true. If you want to share a memorable show with your kids or just watch it on your own, you can't go wrong with this one. It's funny, sweet, smart, and has a wonderful message. I would recommend it to everyone.

michaelhirakida You might not agree with me on my opinion that this is the best Christmas Movie/Special because you might like Its a Wonderful Life or Arthur Christmas better. But Too me, A Charlie Brown Christmas is perfection.This classic is the first Animated Peanuts Special to ever walk upon this planet. This special was so successful that there were more of these like Its the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown (Which I will get to later) and the odd Cancer Special Why Charlie Brown Why? The story begins with some fantastic music, beautiful animation and very funny dialog. You notice if you haven't read the Peanuts comics before that they speak like adults which can get very interesting.Charlie Brown is pretty depressed about Christmas because he doesn't know the meaning of it. Lucy gives him the chance to direct the Christmas Play. The main thing people talk about in this special is how Christmas is all Commercialism. No one listens to Charlie Brown as he seems confident enough but always fails to get to the point with the actors.Characters are like a square, or should I say like a blockhead? They are never circular with just one note. When the characters are square, this means they have sides to them. These sides create what feel like living characters that are right beside you.The music is by The Vince Guaraldi Trio who may have made one of the best soundtracks of all time. Guaraldi uses appropriate music for each scene and knows when to not use music when not needed. I have the soundtrack both on CD and Green Vinyl with a Gold 45 RPM of Linus and Lucy. Thats how much I love this soundtrack. I bought it three times.Finally, the most important part of this special is the message said to us by Linus about the meaning of Christmas. It warms my heart every time I hear him say that speech. Its one of the greatest moments in the history of Film and TV.It gets better every time I sit down to watch it. If you haven't seen it, I urge you to buy the VHS at a flea market or get the special on Blu Ray. You haven't experienced life until you have seen this special.Perfect.100/100 A+
