Editorial Review:
Product Description:
IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN CHARLIE BROWN (DVD MOVIE)
Amazon.com:
Charlie Brown gets rocks in his trick-or-treat bag, Linus awaits a visitation from the Great Pumpkin in his terribly sincere pumpkin patch (while the adoring little Sally sits tight with him), Snoopy falls asleep, Lucy harasses Schroeder, and Pig-Pen kicks up a dust storm even beneath his costume in this classic television broadcast. Funny stuff, but also graced with Charles Schultz's more poignant and gently satiric themes from the 1960s on the influence of faith, failure, and hope in our lives. --Tom Keogh
Use to watch this every Halloween growing up...had some friends getting together to do some pumpkin carving and decided that this was a necessity! It was a perfect addition to our festive night and even had some extras on there that I was not expecting...Defiantly worth my purchase, and I look forward to picking up more (Thanksgiving and Christmas ect.) to add to my collection. :]

We have enjoyed this very much! Our 4 year old grandson has watched it nearly every day since it arrived!! It's the perfect length for a child--he doesn't get antsy before it is over.

This movie has and always will be in my mind the best family halloween movie! I remember when I was very little everytime we went pumpkin picking asking my mother if the pumpkin patch was sincere (giggle). Now I watch this with my kids. their little now, but i hope they cherish this throughout there lives as much as I have!

I bought this for my 3 year old to watch for Halloween. It is just as good as I remembered it from when I was a child. The other Snoopy cartoon on this DVD is great too. I had never seen that.

While the rest of the Peanuts gang are preparing for their usual Halloween rituals, Linus is busy writing his letter to 'The Great Pumpkin', a figure who is seems to be a cross between Santa Claus and Pumpkinhead who he believes gives Halloween presents only to kids that really deserve it. He is ridiculed by everyone apart from Sally who is the only one who will join him in the pumpkin patch.
The trick-or-treating goes well for everyone apart from poor Charlie Brown who is only given rocks. That's probably what would happen to me if I went trick-or-treating as a child. Meanwhile, Snoopy dresses up as a WWI fighter pilot and pretends to be shot down behind enemy lines. But there's not enough of Pigpen, who is my favorite character.
A great TV special indeed. Kids back in 1966 didn't know how good they had it. With all of today's CGI technology I guess we have forgotten that, sometimes, the simple stories and animation can be the most endearing.
Also included in this DVD is It's Magic, Charlie Brown. Annoyed at Snoopy for just sleeping all day Charlie Brown gives him a library card and tells him to go educate himself. The book he comes home with is full of magic tricks which he practises live in front a bunch of Chuck's friends. Some of the tricks work, others don't. But once the show is over Chuck is turned invisible as some kind of weird side-effect. Now with the powers of invisibility Chuck's only desire is to kick a football without Lucy yanking it out of the way at the last minute, as she so often does.
I think a lot more could have been done with this story. As soon as Charlie Brown goes invisible he orders Snoopy to fix him. Why not have more fun playing jokes on people? There was a lot of potential here but it's mainly wasted. Fun though.
The DVD comes in a lovely box with a nice slip case. Warner sure do present these TV specials well.
