It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown

Charlie and Snoopy are always fun to watch. Calling a cartoon. cartonnish uh what.. hello it is, but whatever. It's still great. Don't know what that other review was trying to say.

This was a sequel of "It's Christmas, Charlie Brown" made in 1993. This one isn't as good, but it's somewhat funnier and lacks the slightly heavy handed message from the original. It doesn't have a plot; it's more like a set of vignettes from Charles Schulz's comics from the 1980's and early 90's that have to do with Christmas (similar to his Saturday morning cartoon from the 1980's). Highlights include the great segment on the gang's Passion Play performance where Sally Brown has to say "Hark" and instead says "Hockey Stick" because she saw her brother holding one most of the day before, Charlie Brown wanting to buy a $25 set of gloves for his friend Peggy Jean, and Charlie Brown selling Xmas wreaths. The Sally Brown character is a very dominant character in this one, and honestly, I've always been a Sally Brown mark, so that's why I might like this one more than others; her ditzy behaviour in the comics was always a treat. All in all, it's not the original, but it's still a good one.

The Peanuts gang are back for another holiday film; this time the gang stars in a Christmas school play and Charlie Brown tries to raise money to get his girl friend a present. Peppermint Patty refuses to do her homework. Sally can't remember the one word she has to remember when it's time to remember it. This movie is a series of very short shorts - vignettes. It's definitely another fun time with the gang. It's not as memorable and heartwarming as "A Charlie Brown Christmas" but it's still an enjoyable holiday film to watch along side other holiday Peanuts classics. Pretty much anything Peanuts is a winner for me. Love this gang! 9/10.

It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown this is a new original Christmas special from The peanut gang Now I'll give them a B for effort but this one just don't do just as well as the classic Charlie Brown Christmas not at all I wouldn't even say it comes close other than Snoopy's bits this special just don't hold much but as a Peanut Fan I try to give it the benefit of a doubt While the film does have something to hold your interest it just has moments of face palm that makes you wonder what were they thinking? After watching it on DVD it wasn't quite as well as I had hoped for. My best opinion about this Christmas special for Charlie Brown,Snoopy and the other Peanut gang is that it's okay It does feature good animation as always with good hand drawn animation the voice acting is mix at best plus some of the characters The story is up and down the opening was the best part of the film Overall I give It's Christmastime Again,Charlie Brown an 7 out of 10

In my opinion, this is a good follow-up to a classic holiday special. Also, when Sally (voice of Jodie Sweetin) messed up her line in the Christmas play, I laughed. In addition, the thing that really makes this special worth watching is the music, especially "Linus And Lucy." When that song is performed, I always get warm and tingly. I would have to say that's my favorite song of this special. If you ask me, the Vince Guaraldi Trio is an excellent band. In conclusion, I highly recommend this good follow-up to a classic holiday special to everyone, especially all you fans of the comic strip who have not seen it. When you see it, prepare to smile and have a good time.

Go watch the original Charlie Brown Christmas, as it's much better than this one. Little kids will enjoy it, but I found it kinda boring and only watched cause I LOVE SNOOPY and Woodstock doing anything. :D.

The only thing this short has going over its predecessor is the animation has improved. However, considering that the animation of the original Charlie Brown Christmas isn't really something to get worked up over, it leaves little room for this short to be as relevant. The characters are still as sweet, but the first one spent a lot of time dealing with the anxiety of the season while this one just kind of presented it as it is. The first one had a lot to say, this one didn't. Most importantly, the first one was funnier. Not that this isn't an enjoyable experience by any means. They make a good back-to-back show together and Snoopy always jumps the quality up from good to great. So enjoy. --PolarisDiB

If you love Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang, you will definitely enjoy this extra Christmas special along with the original Christmas Special which became an annual tradition on television. The updated version is still faithful to the original version in style and format. I enjoyed watching Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang back. I just love watching Charlie Brown selling Christmas wreaths before Thanksgiving. Peppermint Patty asking about a book to read for a school report.

I like this one better than the one we all grew up with. I know, that is a strange thing to say. They only had 6 months to throw together the original. Coca-Cola asked CBS to make a Christmas special so that they could advertise their product. So much for the "commercialization of Christmas"! LOL! So the people who made the special, as well as the network people, did not like what they produced. They were very shocked that it was a hit. I think it would have been a hit regardless because Peanuts was very popular already, and there were only three networks back then. There were not as many Christmas specials back then, either. I'm not saying it was bad, but it could have been better if they had more time on it. Obviously it has a lot of charm and also was the first Peanuts special so that makes it unique. This one is more like the comic strip (short vignettes strung together), and it looks like they took more time with it. It moves faster than the original, is funnier, is not as religious, and has better music. Even though I am not a kid, I liked it a lot. The original was very slow-moving, and it is heavy with Christian sentiment. The music was good, but this newer one uses a lot of classical music as well, which I enjoyed. This is an "instant classic", at least to me. Any kid should like it.

This is another Peanuts cartoon from quite a while ago, actually almost 25 years, but given the first of these came out almost 50 years ago, it's not really that long. The director is Bill Melendez and he made several Peanuts films, the writer is Charles M. Schulz as always of course. The cast is not known at all. Fergie from The Black Eyed Peas voiced one of the girl characters shortly before this was made, but by 1992 she was too old for the role. Anyway, it's Christmas time again and it's really more of the usual. The kids are preparing a play and there is lots of talk of the commercial aspects of the holidays against the real tradition. However, this topic was also significant in one of the very old Peanuts cartoons if I remember correctly, so it's a bit of beating a dead horse. I have never been the biggest Peanuts fan, but i enjoy some of these cartoons nonetheless. This one is not among them. Not recommended.
