When Snoopy receives a letter from Spike, his brother who lives in the desert, it gives Rerun the idea to invite Spike to come live with him and he has Snoopy write a letter to him. Rerun then goes as far as to offer Charlie Brown money for him and asks a sidewalk Santa and his "secretary" (Snoopy and Woodstock) to bring him a dog for Christmas but neither of his plans work out. He tries to compensate by playing with Snoopy more often, but Snoopy soon loses interest in doing so. Since he likes to play with Snoopy, Rerun decides that he wants to have a dog for Christmas but, unfortunately for him, his mother won't allow it, saying dogs are too much trouble to take care of. Besides his terrifying rides on the back of his mother's bicycle, he's embarrassed by Linus, bullied by Lucy, and, the day before Christmas vacation, he gets suspended from kindergarten for telling a little girl that the two of them run away to Paris as a joke. It's already rather sad to see an older kid like Charlie Brown get caught up in such misery and bad luck but when it happens to one as young as Rerun, it can feel downright mean.Ĭhristmas is coming, but Rerun van Pelt isn't having the best time in the days leading up to it. After watching this special, I do think it's more well-made and benefits from having a more consistent main plot than what you get in something like It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown, but it tends to drag due to being longer than your typical Peanuts cartoon, I didn't find it to be all that funny, and I kind of hate seeing a five-year old kid getting repeatedly screwed over. I figured that maybe it was going to be the story of how Charlie Brown first got Snoopy, receiving him as a Christmas present I definitely didn't expect it to revolve around Rerun, whom I've barely seen featured in any of these cartoons, nor did I expect to see Snoopy's brother, Spike, whom I'd only seen beforehand in an episode of The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show (at this point, I've not seen any of the other cartoons that feature him). So, when I went into it on Dailymotion just a week before I started this review (which was a very annoying experience, due to that site's trying nature and technical difficulties), I knew nothing about it, other than, due to the title, it apparently revolved around Snoopy and was 41 minutes long rather than the usual 24 or so. I am in disbelief.I'm pretty sure I never saw any part of this on TV in the years since it was first aired and I definitely know I'd never heard the title until just recently, when I was looking up some other Peanuts-related Christmas cartoons. I then remember that MadMax was dissapointed in Twisted Timbers because it wasn't the way he imagined/wanted. I can't believe some people have absolutely nothing better to do then talk out of their ass whenever an oppurtunity is given. And while you were at the park you probably got your parents to buy you 50 million things you never needed likewise, Planet Snoopy does well for the park financially. We may not like the additions today, but when we were kids there is no denying you begged the parents to take you to Kings Dominion to say hi to Yogi Bear, or Spongebob. That was us at one point, riding Scooby Doo with our parents. Children are going to have memories to cherrish for a very long time with Planet Snoopy. ![]() They didn't have to add anything at all, yet they did. Do you still go to Kings Dominion since there is plenty of things for you to do? Or did you just stop going because you didn't like something the park was adding. That's like getting timeout in Kindergarden and that be the only thing that anybody will ever remember you as - that bad kid in Kindergarden. You mouth at Chad because he didn't add what you want? Do you actually know how much input is made from other people to make those choices? Did you ever meet him in person? You may not have loved the Planet Snoopy announcements, but that doesn't mean it did no good for the park.
