'Tis the season to be jolly, but Charlie Brown, feeling that the Christmas message is lost amid all the seasonal glitter, has the blues. Psychiatrist Lucy suggests a cure: Get involved with the Christmas play! When our hapless hero sets out to find a Christmas tree to use as a stage prop, he unknowingly takes a step toward discovering the holiday's true meaning. The scraggly tree that thrives on a "little love" and a timely assist from Linus make the message of the season come shining through. Winner of the Emmy. and Peabody awards, A Charlie Brown Christmas has been digitally remastered for excellent sound and picture quality.
BONUS FEATURE: It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown
It also means--good grief!--it's time for the Christmas play. The good: it's a very fine and funny play. The grief: Sally must come up with the perfect delivery for her one-word part as an angel. She blows it hilariously, of course. Leave it to Linus, however, to put the perfect capstone on all the mirth and mishaps: "Joy to the world." [Running time 23 min.]
Editor's Note
One of the most endearing of all Peanuts' specials finds Charlie Brown nurturing the thinnest, scraggliest Christmas tree ever. At first the gang makes fun of Charlie for choosing such an ugly tree for the holiday but a timely assist from Linus makes the true message of the season come shining through. Everyone realizes in the end that a little affection can make all the difference in the world... even to a tree.
