5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of the most touching Charlie Brown Specials ever to be made., October 26, 2011
This review is from: Peanuts Specials (Amazon Instant Video)
I will not spoil this movie for you but, I will say it is a touching movie that shows how harsh life can be and how important friendship really is. This Charlie Brown movie is not like the others because it deals with the subject of Cancer and hair loss. It is a sad but touching little movie that I will never forget. The part of the movie when the hym "Father Along" is playing is truly touching and even though this is a cartoon, I am sure that there will be more than a few misty eyes at this part!
