5.0 out of 5 stars Lesser-known but top-notch video celebrating an obscure day, March 1, 2001

This review is from: It's Arbor Day Charlie Brown [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I cannot remember ever seeing this Peanuts video as a kid, but since my son is now thoroughly enjoying his discovery of the Peanuts gang, I purchased this for him to watch. I find that it's now one of my all-time favorite Peanuts videos, a very close second to "A Charlie Brown Christmas" (the sentimental favorite). Your kids won't even realize that they are learning about Arbor Day or helping preserve green space because the message is so seamlessly integrated into the fun. The plot is simple: the gang decides to turn Charlie Brown's baseball field into a park in honor of Arbor Day. There are so many priceless moments: when Snoopy gets ejected from the library for laughing too hard at doggie obedience texts; Snoopy's fight with the creeping vine; Peppermint Patty's attempt to get Charlie Brown to explain love to her; Lucy's first home run; Patty trying to pitch around a tree that has been planted on the pitcher's mound; Sally's mistaken pronouncement that Arbor Day is "when all the ships come into the Arbor." Buy it, watch it, then go out and plant a tree with your kids!

5.0 out of 5 stars Playing in Charlie Brown Field, May 20, 2000

This review is from: It's Arbor Day Charlie Brown [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I remember when this 1st came out- at 9 years old, I had no idea what Arbor Day was all about (no, it's not "the day all the ships come sailing into the arbor", as Sally Brown guesses in class and gets laughed at!). Peppermint Patty challenges old Chuck to a game at his new field, which looks more like a garden than a baseball field (not exactly Peppermint Patty's idea of a perfect field)! Lucy makes poor Schroeder promise her a kiss if she hits a home run! Note: this was Vince Guaraldi's final Peanuts score as he would pass away the following year.

Although not as well known as some of the other Peanuts classics, this one stands up with the rest of them, and surpasses many. The full cast is there, along with Vince Guaraldi's final musical score (he died right after completion of this project).
