Clark Gesner's musicalization of Charles Schulz's "Peanuts" comic strips was a hit off-Broadway in 1967 and on Broadway in 1999. This video presents 49 minutes of the show, combining the familiar look of "Peanuts" animated television specials with Gesner's charming skits and songs, including the title tune, Snoopy's ode to eating "Suppertime," the Beethoven adaptation "Schroeder," the baseball yarn "T-E-A-M," and the sweet-as-a-warm-puppy anthem "Happiness." It should be noted that Gesner's clever score, while inspired by the actual strips, is aimed at a slightly older viewing audience than are most "Peanuts" videos, and that these young voices occasionally strain to keep up with its demands. Still, it's solid entertainment, and for anyone who performed the show in school and wishes there were a stage performance recorded on video, this is the next best thing. --David Horiuchi

From the Back Cover

Here's to you, Chuck! An animated salute to that wishy-washy (but endearingly honest) fella. Based in part on the popular stage play.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic On and Off Stage, December 3, 1998

By A Customer

I fell in love with"You're A Good Man Charlie Brown!" when the local theatre did the stage version. I found out soon after that there was an animated version on video. The show is amazing. With cute and funny songs like "The Kite" and "The Book Report," to touching and sweet songs like "The Baseball Game" and "Happiness," "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown!" should have a place in everyone's heart.

4.0 out of 5 stars We love Charlie Brown, October 13, 2001

By A Customer

This video is cute. I have a record from the 60's with the show. One or two of the main songs seem to be missing but the animation is cute. My daughter loves it and she is 5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Peanuts, August 13, 2001

By A Customer

You're a Good Man Charlie Brown is the Peanuts gang at their best! This wonderful animated special is full of wonderful tunes from the Broadway show! It's worth it just for Snoopy's Suppertime number!
