Description: This half-hour Christmas show is one of the truly lovable animated specials in TV history, a status proved by its annual network telecast since 1965. A Charlie Brown Christmas was the first, and best, of a series of programs based on the Charles M. Schulz cartoon strip "Peanuts." Hapless hero Charlie Brown finds himself depressed at Christmastime, searching for the true meaning of the holiday amidst the glitz and commercialism of the modern age. Appointed director of the school holiday pageant, Charlie Brown ventures out with Linus to buy "a great, big, shiny aluminum Christmas tree." Instead they bring back a miserable tree--a real one. A Charlie Brown Christmas shows off the "Peanuts" gang doing what they do best: Lucy is bossy, Snoopy is crazy, Linus is sweet, and Pig Pen is, well, filthy. Instead of using adult actors trying to sound like kids, the production features real children providing the voices, an endearing effect. The jazz music score, composed by Vince Guaraldi, has become a classic in its own right; like so much about this program, it's an unexpected but perfectly right choice. --Robert Horton

Review Summary: Improved picture & packaging - What about the sound? |

Details: A lifelong fan of this Christmas special, I give the content 5 stars, as usual. And this new issue is a delight to own. The package is gorgeous with its sparkly sleeve. The remastered picture is cleaner than the previous issue on DVD. The sound, however, has some trouble. For one, the synch is noticeably off. Watching, I thought something wasn't quite right. It wasn't until Schroeder and Lucy's Jingle Bells scene that I was sure there was a problem. I even dug up my old VHS copy to verify. When an annoyed Schroeder plays the toy-piano version of Jingle Bells, the old copies have a perfectly synched presentation, with each movement of his hand resulting in one note, dead on. The new version's synch is off to an alarming and annoying degree. Also, I was more impressed with the audio quality on the VHS copy. In short, the best part of this new issue is the packaging. If you want one copy for watching, go with the older issue. If you are a collector, get this one for the package and keep the older version for viewing. |

Review Summary: "That's What Christmas Is All About Charlie Brown" |

Details: I was in the eighth grade back in 1965 when 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' special debuted on network television and captured the hearts of American viewers in unprecedented fashion. It became an instant Christmas classic which has stood the test of time and is as popular today as it ever was. It's kind of an amazing accomplishment for a cartoon, especially when you consider how much our culture has changed since the naive sixties. There's something special about the childhood innocence and purity of spirit instilled in this production that touches everyone in a meaningful way. It just doesn't get any better than this.
