What’s Thanksgiving without watching the all time favorite Peanuts Holiday Collection? Warner Home Video releases the Peanuts Holiday Collection on Bluray hi-def format for the first time. Peanuts Holiday Collection, which is comprised of three beloved specials including A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, A Charlie Brown Christmas and It’s a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown .
In the Emmy Award winning A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving , Peppermint Patty invites herself to Charlie Brown’s house for Thanksgiving dinner. Marcie and Franklin are soon added as dinner guests. Charlie Brown admits that his culinary skills are limited to “cold cereal and maybe toast.” Snoopy and Woodstock transform the ping-pong table in the backyard into a dinner table. As the guests arrive, they are each served two slices of buttered toast, some pretzel sticks, popcorn and jelly beans. Patty is ouraged at the meal and berates Charlie Brown until embarrassed and dejected, he leaves the table and goes back into the house.
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown - the peanuts gang outfitted in costumes ready for trick or treating and crashing Violet’s Halloween party. Charlie Brown is in a ghost costume (with more eye holes cut out than needed), Lucy dressed as a witch and Snoopy in a World War I flying ace costume. Linus decides to steadfastly hold vigil in the pumpkin patch as he awaits the Great Pumpkin.
A Charlie Brown Christmas - Charlie Brown is upset by how commercial the Christmas holiday has become. To coax him out of his holiday blues, Lucy suggests he direct the school’s Christmas pageant and decorate a glorious tree. Charlie Brown concedes. The tree he finds however, is puny, prompting everyone to ridicule him.
Last but not least, Charlie Brown’s Christmas Tales is comprised of a series of delightful animated vignettes, each of which showcase a different member of the Peanuts gang. Is This Goodbye, Charlie Brown? episode is also featured on this release. Charlie Brown and pals face the departure of Linus and Lucy, who must move when their father is transferred to a job in another town.
I’m hosting our family Thanksgiving dinner in a couple days. Looks like I got everything I need for the party!!
