This sweet, heartwarming 1973 offering from the Peanuts gang (and Charles Schulz) once again shows Charlie Brown in a pickle, as his erstwhile friends impose upon the hapless would-be-host to provide a memorable and traditional Thanksgiving feast. And as much as Charlie Brown would rather forget the whole thing, he just can't help but try for fear of being labeled a failure. Ultimately it's up to Snoopy and Woodstock to save Charlie from certain embarrassment, and it falls to Linus to impart to all assembled the true meaning of Thanksgiving. This very special Emmy Award-winning cartoon features the usual sweet unassuming humor that only the Peanuts can provide, along with the melodic Vince Guaraldi score, and is one of those childhood classics meant to be enjoyed again and again. --Robert Lane

Gift for Holiday December 22, 2008
Alex L. Donohue (Jersey City, NJ)
This movie contains a bio of the title and the title itself. The extra feature is nice.
My family loves all the peanuts specials so this is no exception.
Great holiday movie December 16, 2008

It's the classic Charlie Brown Thanksgiving...no surprises there. Afterward, however, is a bonus feauture which I really enjoyed. It's another 30-min (?) movie based on facts related to the Mayflower Voyage and the Pilgrim's first Thanksgiving, all with the Charlie Brown characters in it. Well done!

A classic that we watch every Thanksgiving. Five stars belongs to "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and this does not come near the quality, so only four stars.

Definitely one of my favorite Peanuts shows! Snoopy at his best - and that lawn chair - too hilarious!

This is number two in the Peanuts' specials Big Three (need I mention the other two?), and I think all the other reviews have covered beautifully all the things that need to be said about it. Except this: the music is fantastic! Vince Guaraldi is at his best, and even sings on the amazing "Little Birdie." The theme song alone is worth it.
Really, I don't know what I'm doing writing a review of this. Unless you've lived under a rock, you've already seen it, and unless you have no soul, you love it, too. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
