This sweet, heartwarming 1973 offering from the Peanuts gang (and Charles Schulz) once again shows Charlie Brown in a pickle, as his erstwhile friends impose upon the hapless would-be-host to provide a memorable and traditional Thanksgiving feast. And as much as Charlie Brown would rather forget the whole thing, he just can't help but try for fear of being labeled a failure. Ultimately it's up to Snoopy and Woodstock to save Charlie from certain embarrassment, and it falls to Linus to impart to all assembled the true meaning of Thanksgiving. This very special Emmy Award-winning cartoon features the usual sweet unassuming humor that only the Peanuts can provide, along with the melodic Vince Guaraldi score, and is one of those childhood classics meant to be enjoyed again and again. --Robert Lane

 A classic November 24, 2008

Definitely one of my favorite Peanuts shows! Snoopy at his best - and that lawn chair - too hilarious!

This is number two in the Peanuts' specials Big Three (need I mention the other two?), and I think all the other reviews have covered beautifully all the things that need to be said about it. Except this: the music is fantastic! Vince Guaraldi is at his best, and even sings on the amazing "Little Birdie." The theme song alone is worth it.
Really, I don't know what I'm doing writing a review of this. Unless you've lived under a rock, you've already seen it, and unless you have no soul, you love it, too. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Always a Hit! November 16, 2008

I owned Charlie Brown Thanksgiving in VHS and recently converted to DVD. I asked my grandchildren if they wanted me to replace Charlie Brown Thanksgiving in DVD and they all said YES!. It's a classic at our house and they often borrow it to take home and watch. It's one of those movies that they enjoy over and over again. It's great fun for the whole family. We all watch it together at least once a season.
 Actually, Quite Profound November 3, 2008

This review is dedicated to Brooke Shields. (In her book, she said Thanksgiving is one of her favorite holidays.)
We may have to watch this a few times before we really understand how great it is. It's basically this. Charlie Brown and Sally are planning to go to their grandmother's house for Thanksgiving. Then Peppermint Patty, calls Charlie and says she is coming along with Marcy and Franklin to Charlie Brown's for Thanksgiving. Poor Charlie can't seem to get a word in edgewise to explain that he won't even be home. So, Linus (being on the smarter side) says to just make a quick supper for Patty, Marcy, and Franklin. (This turns out to be toast, popcorn, pretzels, and jelly beans.) Peppermint Patty gets angry when she sees the supper, but then feels bad and apologizes. (With some help from her back up conscience Marcy.) The whole gang is then invited to Charlie Brown's grandmother's for supper.
While this may seem to be a simple story, it is actually quite profound. Over time, a holiday (be it Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter) can develop a string of customs. And in following the established customs, we forget the TRUE ESSENCE of the holiday and what it is really about. Thanksgiving is about being thankful for things we have. And as Marcy puts it: "We should just be thankful for being together." And even though Charlie and Linus could not put together a traditional or normal supper, they did the best they could under the circumstances. That's what was really important.
Overall, this is a short, but profound story that tells us we must not forget the true essence of a day because we get lost in the established customs.
GOOD AS I REMEMBER July 29, 2008
Charles E. Torres (Honolulu, Hawaii)
What can you say about this classic. It is a good family cartoon that will appeal to the yoougest child all the way to the oldest person in the room. The story from beggining to end brings back memories when I was a child.
