think carefully before "following"" Pied Piper [Posted on 2007-03-09]
chidren are 2yrs. and 3yrs. and LOVE Charlie Brown cartoons, however they wre not very interested in this particular movie. maybe they are too young for this charlie Brown movie. The 3yr. old watched for about 10 min. before becoming bored with it and the 2yr. old barely made 5min.(and she can sit and watch an entire Charlie Brown movie!!) will try this one again in about a year or more.

Missing something [Posted on 2007-05-11]
I'm not entirely sure if I like this one or not. It seems to be missing something from the original Peanuts modus operandi. Maybe it's because we get to see and hear the adults. Maybe it's the river dancing mice. I understand it's Charlie reading to Sally, which is reminicent of the Garfield and Friends U.S. Acres when Orson reads to Wade, but it doesn't seem to have the same quality. It's always the last one my nephew and niece choose to watch when lined up against Charlie Brown's Valentines, Christmas, Halloween, America and Thanksgiving.

Extremely Disappointing... [Posted on 2007-06-05]
I'm 37 years old and grew up watching the peanuts specials which I love, but hadn't seen this one so I picked it up and was extremely disappointed in what I saw. Charles Schultz is credited as writer, but this 'classic' is copywrited 2000 and released posthumously to Mr. Schultz's death-I can't believe he would have green-lighted the release if he had viewed the final cut. Hardly the 'swan song' of an amazing career!
The video starts out okay, but once we get into the retelling of the 'Pied Piper' story the whole thing quickly degenerates into a mish-mash of hurried, sub-par animation, pointless diologue, extended filler musical scenes, and painful character interactions (yes, we get it, the mayor is a jerk and doesn't want to pay the Pied Piper). Where the REAL classics had an underlying, deeper philosophy that impacted and touched both children and adults, in this one Charlie brown actually verbalizes "...the moral of the story is..." In summary, avoid this one and stick to the originals.

good movie! [Posted on 2008-05-02]
you can't go wrong with Charles M. Schulz. Who doesn't love Charlie Brown and the whole Peanuts Gang! It's a classic. fun for the whole family.
