"Join Charlie Brown and the rest of the delightful "Peanuts" gang in their smashing debut on the silver screen in the late Charles M. Schulz's first full-length animated features. Charlie Brown must prove he’s got what it takes when he competes in a national spelling bee championship. Plus, a shocking revelation is brought up from Snoopy’s past that leads him on a cross-country road trip. Filled with all the characters and charm that has made "Peanuts" the most popular comic strip in the world."
My girls can't get enough of Peanuts. Thanks to the new series, which began airing on television this year, my girls can get their daily fix of Snoopy and friends. And, when they aren't tuning in to watch a new episode or watch one of their many recorded episodes, they will ask me to put on a Peanuts DVD for them. I can't say "No" as I also love Snoopy and Charlie Brown and love to take a break from what I am doing to snuggle with the girls on the couch and watch Peanuts movies or the series on television with them.
So, you can only imagine how excited they (and I was) when we received the new Peanuts Double Feature: Snoopy Come Home and A Boy Named Charlie Brown, which arrived on DVD and Blu-ray back on Nov. 1st. I was planning to surprise the girls will this 2-DVD set, but ended up getting a copy to review.
The girls were quick to finish their schoolwork the other day just so we could watch these two movies, which are about an hour and half each. These two movies previously released on DVD separately, but this is the first time you get them in the Double Feature format. I remember these movies from way back when I was a kid, so it was nice to watch them again with my girls. And, my girls loved them both, and said they were excited to watch a movie from the good 'ole days (what they hear me calling my childhood) :-)
The girls can't get enough of the new Peanuts Double Feature: Snoopy Come Home and A Boy Named Charlie Brown. We have only had for about a week now, but have already watched the two movies about a half a dozen times. And, whenever their friends come to play, they are quick to put one of these movies on for everyone to watch. :-)
So, if you have a Peanuts fan (young or old) in your life, why not consider picking up a copy of the recently released Peanuts Double Feature: Snoopy Come Home and A Boy Named Charlie Brown to surprise them with. It would make for a great stocking stuffer idea. :-)

More About A Boy Named Charlie Brown:
"Join Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Snoopy and the whole Peanuts gang in their very first big screen adventure! Take a jazzy joyride through the streets of Manhattan as Charlie Brown sets out to bolster his shaky confidence at the National Spelling Bee. Charles M. Schulz and franchise director Bill Melendez weave a world made of witty dialogue, magical security blankets and bright-eyed beagles, all set to an Academy Award®-nominated score by Rod McKuen and Vince Guaraldi. Sit for a spell with the Peanuts gang as they learn that if at first you don’t succeed, take a step back. Maybe a nap. Then grab the closest beagle… and dance."
More About Snoopy Come Home:
"When America’s most beloved beagle suddenly goes missing, the whole Peanuts gang bands together to bring him back home in this full-length feature. With “Dogs Not Allowed” signs everywhere he turns, Snoopy and his newfound feathered friend Woodstock (making his big screen debut), leave the comforts of home behind and head for the highways in search of their true place in the world. Camping out, eating up and just living the life of the open road, the intrepid twosome make their way across the country, dodging possessive pet-collectors, less-than-hospitable hospital workers, and bullying bus drivers on their way to reveal Snoopy’s secret past—only to discover that there really is no place like home."
Disclosure: I was sent review copies from the vendor in order to write up an honest review. All views shared are mine and mine alone.
