4.0 out of 5 stars Peanuts In Europe, October 21, 2001

By	W. Langan "take403" (the end of the world to your town!) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In all 4 of the full-length Peanuts movies, somebody is going somewhere. In this final full-length feature, Charlie Brown, Linus, Peppermint Patty, and Marcy win a contest at school and are awarded a trip to Europe as exchange students (somehow Snoopy and Woodstock wind up on the adventure). The title comes from a line Lucy jealously utters to Charlie Brown ("Bon voyage and don't come back!"- she stays at home). This is possibly the first time adult voices are used (the flight stewardess has an audible voice instead of the trademarked "whomp whomp waw" voice).

In England, Snoopy plays tennis at Wimbledon. Then the gang winds up in France at a mysterious chateau whose name makes everybody shudder and Charlie finds out mysteries about his ancestors (we see a picture of his grandfather who had more hair than Chuck!). Peppermint Patty and Marcy compete for Pierre's attention but Pierre seems to prefer Marcy. There's a running gag about the windup car which Snoopy drives and Charlie Brown winds up the engine for the crazy beagle, injuring his hand every time! Other funny scenes include Charlie Brown's baguette incidents and Peppermint Patty nagging Chuck to death in the exchange classroom ("Don't lick the pages with your fingers and don't hassle me with your sighs, Chuck!"). Of course, Chuck is pushed too far and distrupts the class- "WILL YOU STOP CRITICIZING ME?!"

The story continues with the half-hour TV special What Have We Learned, Charlie Brown?, which came out 3 years later.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST CHARLIE BROWN MOVIE YOU'LL COME ACROSS, October 4, 2004

By	Nicholas Vidoni - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When you think of Charlie Brown movies, you think of the Christmas Special or the Pumpkin King short films. There are also those often cheaply produced full-length films that were probably made for television as were the holiday vareity. However, "Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown" outclasses any other Chalie Brown movie you will come across. The plot is well scripted, the music is awesome, and the animation precise. Just from viewing this piece you can tell a sizeable amount of time and energy went into this film to make it as good as it is. The jokes are funny (unlike many Peanuts films), and the gang's adventure to France is riveting. Is is truely a shame that Paramount has still not released this classic film out on DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars DVD Release is LONG overdue on this one, September 19, 2004

By	Tom Gj (New York, United States) - See all my reviews

This is perhaps my favorite Peanuts movie...It should be classic and the fact that it is not available on Dvd is perplexing...by far the best peanuts movie ever!!
