Reviews
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
charlestt-26841 While I loved the Charlie Brown Christmas, I must say I always liked the Great Pumpkin one more. Where else could you get Snoopy really fighting hard in his Sopwith Camel? I also enjoyed the Santa Claus/Great Pumpkin/God angle to Linus, being the character which once more displays his devotion to a superior being, though misguided in this case. He knows there's something greater out there and he reaches for it.I also enjoy all the Halloween artwork within the episode, and as I saw this for the first times, parts of it actually scared me a bit in the old days.The thing I enjoy the most about it though, is a spin I have put on it and this is where my time warp heading comes in. There are a few references not only to Linus having done this in years past, but also Linus is promising to do it again, as the Great Pumpkin devotee. So to me, this is the most poignant example I can think of as a Flying Dutchman episode, without it being made to put such a point across. I like to see it as Linus and company having to relive this day every year. The rest of the year some of the other Charlie Brown specials would apply to their lives of course, but between all of those, they live ordinary lives as kids, with something different always going on. They never age, but this special they must always relive in particular, because Linus keeps making the yearly fool of himself.BTW, the idea that at least three houses carried rocks in their house and had it available to any kids they didn't like is pretty lame. As well, the Charlie Brown kicking Lucy's football is always kind of weird, because despite how much Chuck isn't liked, you would think he could at least get Linus to hold a ball for him, and yet Lucy and him behave as though he will never be able to kick a ball because she will always yank it away. In a sense, the football antics could be another thing that are caught in The Flying Dutchman aspect to Peanuts, as Chuck never gets anybody else to hold it and he never learns much from it.So next year, I will once more watch The Great Pumpkin episode, fully expecting them to be still fully caught in their time warp.
GravityLoudHouseLover1 Happy Halloween Everybody Today I'm Reviewing the 1966 Halloween Special It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. So in this Special Linus is excited for the great pumpkin but everybody thinks he is crazy except Sally who is willing to stay to see the Great Pumpkin with Linus . The others go trick or Treating with everybody getting candy except Charlie Brown who gets rocks. I loved when Lucy was bobbing for apples and Snoopy came out kissed Lucy causing Lucy going around in circles saying she has been kissed my a dog. I Also Loved the part where Snoopy is getting The Red Baron. Anyway I Loved It's Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown It's Halloween Classic. 10/10
SnoopyStyle Halloween is approaching and Linus is convinced that the Great Pumpkin is coming. His sister Lucy is infuriated with him. Even Charlie Brown doesn't believe him. Snoopy laughs at him. Charlie Brown's sister Sally adores Linus and willingly waits with him at the pumpkin patch instead of going on her first trick-or-treating. Charlie Brown is excited to be invited to a party for the first time in his life. Everybody is going to Violet's party after trick-or-treating. Snoopy is his imaginary WWI flying ace alter-ego. Sally's rant at the end is both adorable and hilarious. This is such a sweet Charlie Brown special. It's missing the big compelling message of the Christmas special. Nevertheless, this is just a fun charming Halloween tradition.
Rainey Dawn "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" is a timeless animated family animated classic. This cute cartoon short is sure to please the kids (and a few adults) on Halloween.After recently re-watching this film short, I can't decide who I felt more sorry for Charlie Brown, who kept getting rocks instead of candy for Halloween treats, or Linus, who still did not see the Great Pumpkin rising out of the pumpkin patch... lol.If you or your kids have not seen this timeless Peanuts classic then you should give this short film a watch this Halloween season - it's sure to give you a few giggles.10/10
