1.0 out of 5 stars It Was My Best Birthday Ever, Charlie Brown, May 6, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Peanuts: It Was My Best Birthday Ever [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If you compare this release to the other classic Peanuts shorts, it is unbelievable how bad it is. Do not waste your money on this one. There are clearly several mistakes that are very clear, Linus rollerblades through 5 minutes of the cartoon and the animation is reused. You see the same scenes over again during this sequence. They were clearly reaching for a story line to fill the 25 minutes. We keep saying that it is so different than the others that Shultz could'nt have been involved in the production because how could he allow this to be released. Sorry, but as you can tell my family was really dissapointed in this one.

How excited we were when we found a "new" Peanuts video!! We couldn't wait to show our kids a new video of Charlie Brown and the gang. Well, in my opinion, this one falls way short of expectations. The music isn't the great classical pieces of the old specials and the story is uninteresting. My 6 year old even spotted a mistake... Charlie Brown is obviously at the first birthday party (you can't miss that shirt!!), but he asked Sally how the party was... as if he weren't there. Stick to the originals!!

I don't understnd this movie. First Charlie asks Sally how the 1st party was. He was right there dancing! They don't tell how old Linus was or who the birthday kid at the 1st party was. Another thing, were is Peppermint Patty?! She is one of my favorite characters and if you ask me, I think this speical is nothing without her. I can understand her and Marcie making brief appearances, but just Marcie without Peppermint Patty? It dosen't seem like a Schulz-type movie to me.
