Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown Trailers

It's Valentine's Day again and Charlie Brown dreams the seemingly hopeless dream to receiving a valentine from anyone. All the while, the rest of the gang have their own trials whether it be Linus' struggle to get the biggest card he can for his beloved teacher, or Lucy trying to get some token from Schroeder while Snoopy and Woodstock are having fun spearing valentines on each other's nose.

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Fuzzy Wuzzy This cute, animated short (25 minutes) from 1975, has that always-optimistic, little, onion-headed boy, Charlie Brown, impatiently waiting by the mailbox for someone/anyone to send him a valentine (since Valentine's Day is just around the corner).Join the "Peanuts" gang as they merrily (or miserably) hold their Valentine's Day party at Birchwood Elementary School where everyone exchanges valentines with their favourites classmates.One of this cartoon's highlights is when Snoopy plays cupid, shooting suction-cup arrows from his bow. And then he puts on a hilarious Valentine's Day puppet show that features all sorts of realistic special effects."Peanuts" and all of its memorable characters was created by Charles M. Shulz, who is considered to be one of the most influential cartoonists of all time. Shulz died in 2000, at the age of 77, from cancer.
hfan77 I saw "Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown" for the first time in years and I thought it was a very depressing Valentine's Day special. Poor Charlie Brown, he never gets any valentines and he sits by the mailbox hoping to finally receive one but unfortunately it remains empty. Linus buys a heart-shaped box of candy for his teacher, Miss Othmar, but she leaves with her boyfriend and never gets the box although Sally, who has a huge crush on Linus thinks the candy is hers. Then there's Lucy, who tries to get Schroeder to notice her, a repetitive theme throughout the comic strip but ends up destroying his piano in frustration.Even worse, in school where Charlie Brown's class has a valentine box and all the valentines are distributed with our hero not receiving a single one. How sad and thoughtless until the next day, Violet and some of the girls, finally give him a valentine.if you enjoy Valentine's Day with someone special, watch a romantic movie instead. This cartoon will give you a broken heart.
dsp21953 "Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown" may not be as sentimental as the other Peanuts specials; however, it is a nice tradition to watch on Valentine's Day. The underlying message of this Peanuts episode is aimed at how Valentine's Day should not be about all the commercialism it has turned into. Instead Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the Peanuts gang reveal that one should have compassion for others on this day. Snoopy stealing the show making his "Valentine's Day music box" out of a sheet of red paper, priceless! Linus is much like any male person in the world, as a boy who didn't fall in love with a female teacher? Also, Charlie Brown's eventual Valentine, while done out of sympathy, is still a thoughtful gesture. Even more so in 1975 thousands of children mailed Charlie Brown a Valentine's card after seeing this special. Charles Schultz and his Peanuts strips and specials are an American institution itself. Thank you for everything Sparky!
Shawn Watson No one seems to have a good time or find love in this Peanuts TV special. Charlie gets no Valentine cards, Linus misses out on his opportunity to give chocolates to his favorite teacher and Shroeder vows to never marry Lucy, much to her anger.It's kinda downbeat for a Valentine's TV special. So much so that kids from all over America sent Charlie Brown a Valentine's card out of sympathy. Which is quite sweet when you think about it. As long as they were all girls.Still, it's another funny and timeless TV special that you should definitely make the effort of watching if it comes on this Feb 14th. Though it might depress you if you yourself do not receive any Valentine's card.
