A Must For Peanuts Fans!
Having been a Peanuts fan my whole life, I am rather partial to anything to do with Charlie Brown and the Gang. However, I can honestly say that this set is a must own for anyone who loves Peanuts. Not only do you get three beloved Charlie Brown holiday classics, but you get an additional Peanuts movie on each DVD! That is like 6 movies for the price of 3! As one...

Rating based on the DVD, not the shows
I just got my copy of the boxed set and as we all know, "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" and "A Charlie Brown Christmas" are indispensible classics on the level of "It's a Wonderful Life", "Miracle on 34th Street", and "A Christmas Story". In my opinion, "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" was kind of mailed in, but you can hardly have the other two without the...

A Must For Peanuts Fans!, Janv. 8 2004

Not only do you get three beloved Charlie Brown holiday classics, but you get an additional Peanuts movie on each DVD! That is like 6 movies for the price of 3! As one other reviewer mentioned, there are not many extra features on these DVDs, but if you are a fan of these classics, you still will not be dissapointed.

Could there be a better collection of Peanuts episodes?, Janv. 2 2004
The 3 main titles are the holiday Peanuts episodes that had become a tradition by the time we Gen-Xers were growing up. I enjoy tradition, ergo, I enjoy these episodes. For many of us, it is comforting to look back to our roots. The other three episodes (the election day special, the Pilgrims special, and the alternate Christmas special), have a self-awareness that destroys the magic of the original Peanuts creation. As long as you consider them just bonus material, they are okay. The best, in my opinion, was the Pilgrims special.For those who have never seen these Peanuts episodes (and thus lack the nostalgia element), I recommend them on the strength that there is no foul language, no sex or violence, and they are short (roughly 15-20 minutes), which gives you something relaxing to watch for a short amount of time. They also make great shorts to show at holiday parties, as most people enjoy seeing them again and they are not offensive to anybody.

No Features; Expensive; but Definately a Set to Cherish, Nov. 6 2003
When this set first came out a few years ago, I was reluctant to buy it, secretly hoping that these three holiday classics would soon be re-released with special features.Well, I waited. And waited. And waited. And finally, out of complete desperation, I just bought it. Granted, none of the three main programs in the set are the greatest (I'm still waiting for the movies -- especially my favorite and the all-time greatest, Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown! -- and the masterfully done episodes from The Charlie Brown & Snoopy Show). And there aren't any extra features (unless you count the second episode on each disc). But it's a great way to get all three of the first wave of holiday releases at once. Even at $39, the box set is definately more expensive than if one were to purchase the DVD's individually. But if you search around, the set can easily be found for much cheaper. Heck -- if you don't find a better deal, just pay the $39. It's expensive, but definately a box set to cherish. Just please: don't pay the retail! It's not worth it.

"Gee. Do they still make wooden Christmas Trees?", Nov. 4 2003
Charles M. Schulz (1922-2000) will be forever remembered for his endearing Peanuts comic strip characters. They include the unselfconfident Charlie Brown, the egocentric Lucy Van Pelt, the blanket-carrying Linus Van Pelt, Charlie's little sister Sally, the aspiring pianist Schroeder, the ever-messy Pig-Pen, Charlie's highly-intelligent dog Snoopy, the self-assured Pepperment Patty, the whiz-kid Marcie, etc. The popularity of his comic strip led to the filming of numerous animated shorts for television and several feature-length animated films. Of the animated shorts for television, three classic holiday shorts and three newer shorts (for a total of six) are included in this set of three DVD's. Most of the shorts were directed and co-produced by Bill Melendez, who also usually did the voices for Snoopy and Woodstock.Disk 1: "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" (1966). Charlie Brown is delighted to be invited to his first Halloween Party. He goes trick-or-treating with Lucy, Violet, and several other children and gets rocks while everyone else gets candy. To Lucy's dismay, Linus has chosen to wait in a pumpkin patch all night for the Great Pumpkin to emerge. "You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown" (1972). Charlie Brown is discouraged from running for school class president after Lucy conducts a poll; so Linus decides to run instead. Disk 2: "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" (1973). Charlie Brown is dumbfounded when Pepperment Patty invites herself and two other friends to Charlie Brown's home for Thanksgiving dinner. Charlie, Linus and Snoopy speedily put together a holiday feast, but it isn't what Pepperment Patty was expecting. "The Mayflower Voyagers" (1988). The Peanuts gang portrays the first pilgrims that land at Plymouth Rock. They learn about the hardships of colonial life and have the first Thanksgiving. Disk 3: "A Charlie Brown Christmas" (1965). Charlie Brown is elected to direct a Christmas play for his school. After being asked to buy a big and beautiful Christmas tree, he returns with a puny one and is ridiculed by everyone. In the meantime, Snoopy is busy decorating his doghouse for the annual, neighborhood decoration contest. Of all Charles M. Shulz's shorts & feature-length films, this is the only one that contains a religious tone that non-Christians may or may not enjoy. "It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown" (1992). Arguably not as good as the original, the message from this short is not as intense as the original. It focuses on Sally's minimal role in the annual Christmas play (as well as Pepperment Patty), and Charlie Brown wants to raise money for his girlfriend. Though not all of the shorts contained in this three-DVD set are equally good, children and adults alike will more than likely enjoy Charles M. Shulz's legacy of characters brought to life in them. Therefore, I rate this three-DVD box set with 5 out of 5 stars.

In love with the peanuts, Oct. 17 2003
I gave this four stars only because of the cost, which I feel could have been lessened by putting them all on one dvd. The price may be steep for a collection with no extras other then a bonus movie on each disk, but for a fan of the peanuts it's well worth it. I have never gotten to enjoy these movies without the interruption of commericals. I was pleased with the quality of the DVD's, which made it worth my money. I was happy to find out that the bonus movies were of the same quality as the three more popular ones. I also do perfer the Mayflower voyages over A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, which another reviewer also mentioned.

GREAT BUY! Entire family loves it, Oct. 10 2003
I bought this for my 4 year old son. He abolutely LOVES the entire collection and watched them over and over again. He is now almost 5 & still loves them. My husband & myself are big nostalgic fans as we grew up with Charlie Brown on TV. Even my 18 month old daughter loves them. She giggles and claps when she watches them. The TV commercials are true, you don't have to wait for the 1 time a year to enjoy Peanuts specials, you can watch them all year long (and NO commercials)

3 Classics in 1 Package!, Sep 22 2003
Since I've already reviewed most of these DVD's (save It's Christmas Time Again Charlie Brown), I'm going to review them in a different light. I will say that Charlie Brown Christmas, It's the Great Pumpkin, CB and Charlie Brown Thanksgiving are 3 of my alltime favourite Charlie Brown specials.A CB Christmas (1965) was (as I used as a title for my 2000 review) "The Special that Started It All!" Most of you have already seen this one, but if you haven't, go see it in this package! If you don't have it on DVD but liked it, all the more reason to buy this. Anyways, Charlie Brown seeks out the true meaning of Christmas and is asked to pick out a tree for the Christmas paegant. Finally, the true reason for Christmas is explained in the midst of the commercialism which even back in 1965 caused many to forget what Christmas is all about. 5 stars It's Christmastime Again, CB (1992) is really a series of short stories. Charlie Brown plans to buy some mittens for his sweetheart Peggy Jean, Sally is in the schoolplay and her one line is simply "Hark!" Peppermint Patty is jealous of Marcie's role in the schoolplay. To compare this with the original would be unfair but this special is still cute and entertaining. 3 and 1/2 stars Great Pumpkin (1966) shows Linus awaiting the Great Pumpkin's arrival with Sally, Charlie Brown's not-so-pleasant goodies in his Halloween bag and Snoopy's World War I flying ace routine (my favourite scene). 5 stars Not Elected, CB (1972) is a lesser known special which should be shown each election year. Since Charlie Brown doesn't favour too well in Lucy's polls, Linus is encouraged to run for class president. 5 stars CB Thanksgiving (1973) teaches a little about the 1st Thanksgiving and also Peppermint Patty learns a valuable lesson from Marcie after she invites herself, Marcie and Franklin to Chuck's house for Thanksgiving. 5 stars The Mayflower Voyage (1988) was part of This Is America, CB (an 8 part series). My only complaint is that all of the This Is America series should be on DVD (they could include What Have We Learned CB? to even it out). Until then, enjoy this more educational view on the Mayflower with the Peanuts gang dressed as pilgrims. 4 stars Though extras would be nice (commentaries by Bill Melendez and Lee Mendellson, the old Ford commercials, and a 2001 special about CB Christmas), these specials carry enough weight for themselves. Maybe extras are in the planning for the future. In the meantime, Melendez and Mendellson had enough understanding on Charles Schulz's characters to do justice to Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang!

Great movies; terrible price, Juil 9 2003
Par Un client
Three 25-minute cartoons for over $...? I've longed for these films to come out on DVD, but the price is way out of line. Five stars for the actual films; they're classics we all love and remember. But save money and rent them or search for a VHS (the quality's the same in this case). It's a shame to see beloved children's programming with a good message fall victim to such blatant price gouging.

A must have!, Janv. 21 2003
While I can pass on the Thanksgiving episode, both "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" are must-haves in my video library.I would have liked to see the image quality brought up to today's standards, however it is still substantially improved over my old VHS tapes. Thank the Lord for Charles Schulz!
