Product Description

This is America, Charlie Brown, the series is a special 2 disc set containing all 8 episodes of everyones favorite peanuts pals traveling through time to visit important places and events in American History. This release is both entertaining and educational.

Amazon.com

An eight-part series from 1988, This Is America, Charlie Brown sets the familiar "Peanuts" characters into scenes of American history: on the Mayflower, at the signing of the Constitution, at Kitty Hawk with the Wright Brothers, on the NASA space station, etc. Mostly written by Charles M. Schulz and produced by the team of Lee Mendelson and Bill Melendez, it's a mix of cartoon humor (Lucy will pull the football away in any era, and Ben Franklin can actually get Charlie Brown's kite in the air to discover electricity) and history lessons that are sort of like Schoolhouse Rock but longer and drier. Vince Guaraldi's famous music is now performed by jazz veterans Wynton Marsalis, Dave Brubeck, and David Benoit, plus pianist George Winston. A few episodes are structured a little differently, giving overviews of inventors (Alexander Graham Bell's telephone, Edison's phonograph), the Smithsonian and the presidency (Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt), and musicians (Stephen Foster, Scott Joplin). In the dullest episode, Charlie Brown narrates the building of the Transcontinental Railroad action in the form of a school report, and it feels like one. Endless recycled footage of people driving spikes alternated with vintage photographs splashed with pastel colors is somewhat rescued by the nice use of American classic songs performed by the Winans. This Is America, Charlie Brown isn't the most entertaining "Peanuts" you'll ever watch, but it's not bad as a sneaky way to teach history to kids. (One installment, "The Mayflower Voyagers," was previously released on the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving DVD.) --David Horiuchi

A Good Tool For Parents

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2018

Verified Purchase

When I was a kid, history was a serious subject and schools were serious about teaching it. Today, it's rare to find a child who knows the civil war took place before WW2. This series teaches the basics of American history in an entertaining way using cartoon characters familiar to kids who will not sit in class and memorize dates and years. The best way to teach history is to inspire children to imagine themselves in those long ago places participating in the events. Sailing aboard the Mayflower, working in the building where the Founding Fathers argued over the wording of the Constitution, etc. is far better than rote memorizing of dull facts kids don't care about and will not remember. Any parent who wants their children to grow up with a solid knowledge of how this nation came to be should consider adding this DVD to their family TV watching as a means to that goal.

I first saw this DVD at Camp Snoopy at Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. I decided to check prices online. Amazon had a much lower price with free shipping. I ordered it without hesitation. I like watching Peanuts with my 2 yr old son. He likes Charlie Brown and Snoopy. He enjoys the silliness of the characters. I like it not only for it's dialogue, but this series has tid bits of American history that I found interesting as well. It may be a bit advanced for my young one to understand. Nonetheless, we both get our thrills plus our father and son time watching this DVD together. Who ever said you can't learn anything from cartoons? I definitely recommend Peanuts to all parents to show to their kids. It's timeless and safe for the whole family.

I know there are people who barely remember these when they came out but since I am presently living in the U.K. with my hubby , it is GREAT way to teach the kids (youngsters) about the U.S.A. and keep them glued to the television. I forot alot of things about MY own history which were mentioned in this set, such as in the Apollo Space craft episode and that bit about good ol Charlie Brown and Snoopy bit ( ya have to watch it yaself) ...THAT took me back years in school rooms far away. It is a great deal for the price although it may seem out of date for the times we live in today it is a definite MUST HAVE for any Charlie Brown and Snoopy fan!! If it bores you than you are definitely NOT a TRUE die hard fan!

A Look at American History, the Charlie Brown Way!

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2006

Verified Purchase

Charlie Brown and Snoopy and the rest take viewers on an eight episode tour of highlights in America's history (well, seven, and one look to the future, at Nasa's then current plans of a manned space station, which here becomes a fun adventure for the Peanuts kids.) The best of these episodes put Charlie Brown and the rest into entertaining retellings of events in history, such as The Birth of the Constitution and The Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk, or have the kids talking to historical figures like Alexander Graham Bell and Abraham Lincoln. Some of the episodes try to cover perhaps a bit too much material through narration by Charlie Brown and the others, which takes a bit away from episodes like The Mayflower Voyagers and The Building of the Transcontinental Railroad. The mini-series ends with a look at The Music and Heroes of America, in a co-production by Schroeder and Lucy (which was certainly NOT Schroeder's idea!) This was certainly a departure for Lee Mendelson and Bill Melendez's long line of TV specials based on Schulz's famous comic strip, but for the most part they turned out well. In a few of these episodes, the drawing is a little sloppy, but not totally unwatchable. There are a lot of good character moments in these shows as well as all those facts...Snoopy and woodstock trying on powdered wigs in the Constitution episode, Charlie Brown loaning Ben Franklin a kite, Lucy pulling her old football gag on Charlie Brown in the Nasa Space Station and a lot more...One of my favorite parts is seeing just who drove the golden spike that connected the railroads (according to Schulz, anyway) I won't spoil it here, watch it yourself!

Years ago when my son was small this series was on TV in several installments over several weeks. I taped some of them on VHS but didn't have them all. Years of watching the VHS tapes took their toll and I was very happy to find this on dvd. It is a great collection of historic events told as only the Peanuts gang can tell it!

I borrowed the DVD from the library mainly because I thought it would be a educational but didn't expect my 8 and 4 year old to actually sit down through the duration of the movie, to my surprise they both did! We borrowed the video a couple more times after that and they are still not tired of viewing it, so I decided to purchase one. The characters are cute and they thought were funny. To this day, it is still one of their most favorite DVD.
