140 Character Movie Review – #140RVW
The 12th Peanuts TV special is actually my daughter’s favorite. Mostly due to Snoopy dancing with bunnies, but it all really is very funny.
Review of It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown:
I always think of this as one of the original classics, but in truth this was actually the 12th Peanuts TV special. It probably maintains that spot in my mind because it is so good. There’s so much good stuff here: Peppermint Patty’s failed attempts to teach Marcie to dye eggs, the repeated shopping trips to the department store that warns “Only 246 shopping days until Christmas”, Linus preaching the gospel of the Easter Beagle as enthusiastically as he spoke of the Great Pumpkin. It’s so good. Go watch it.
