Clark Gesner's musicalization of Charles Schulz's "Peanuts" comic strips was a hit off-Broadway in 1967 and on Broadway in 1999. This video presents 49 minutes of the show, combining the familiar look of "Peanuts" animated television specials with Gesner's charming skits and songs, including the title tune, Snoopy's ode to eating "Suppertime," the Beethoven adaptation "Schroeder," the baseball yarn "T-E-A-M," and the sweet-as-a-warm-puppy anthem "Happiness." It should be noted that Gesner's clever score, while inspired by the actual strips, is aimed at a slightly older viewing audience than are most "Peanuts" videos, and that these young voices occasionally strain to keep up with its demands. Still, it's solid entertainment, and for anyone who performed the show in school and wishes there were a stage performance recorded on video, this is the next best thing. --David Horiuchi ...

CHARLIE BROWN IS GREAT FOR ALL AGES!!!!!
When I was little I loved watching Your a good man Charlie Brown. I loved listening to the music like "The Kite" Which I learned in 4th grade. All my friends and I did was sing songs from "charlie brown." Whenever you dont feel good about yourself you can refer to Charlie the boy who was most of the time miserable and who had a huge crush on the red hair girl. Sometimes if you think that a boy/girl doen't like you, you can see poor Charlie who know one likes him. HE IS A WONDERFUL CHARACTER LOL

You're a cood man Charlie Brown
A wonderfull musical treat.The songs are witty and imaginative
with a big dose of just plain fun!
The "book report on Peter Rabbit" just makes my day and I'll never hear Home-on-the-Range the same again

Love it.
You are a good man, charlie Brown, is the best peanuts show I've ever seen. It is also a great musical.

It's a great musical, Charlie Brown!
I've loved this Peanuts special from the minute I saw it. I own the CD soundtrack from the 60's play (with Gary Burghoff from "M*A*S*H* as Charlie Brown). I used to sing with the songs all the time. The highlights are the main title, and anything done by Snoopy. "Queen Lucy" and "Oh Give Me a Home" are funny points. All in all, this is one of the best Peanuts cartoons that have ever been made.

We love Charlie Brown
This video is cute. I have a record from the 60's with the show. One or two of the main songs seem to be missing but the animation is cute. My daughter loves it and she is 5. ... Read more

Citizen Who? ..Thrashin..greatest movie ever.
OKay. this is a totally biased review, Thrashin has been my favorite movie since i was a young lad, this movie encompasses all that is/was skateboarding in the 1980's. Sure, the acting is cheesy at times, but that gives the film charm, there is punk rock band named after the villians in this movie called "Hook and the Daggers" that eveyone should check out. skateboarding, punk rock, red hot chili peppers, a really terrible love scene, this movie has it ALL!! buy the movie already. DVD bonus stuff is cool too with interview w/ Robert Russler (Hook)

great movie and hotties all the way!
i love this movie and saw it on tape and was so glad it was released to dvd!
the story goes like this: corey webster wants to become a big skater and skate for smash skateboards in the valley while he stays with his friend tyler (paul from the lost boys a year earlier!)the best looking thing in the movie!
while in the valley for hte summer, corey meets chrissy, the leader of the daggers little sister and he falls in love.
so now corey has to watch out for the daggers in order to stay in the skateboarding buis, with his buds the ramp locals and get with chrissy.
its totally worth 10 bucks at bestbuy!
go for it, if not for the movie itself than only to stare at gorgeous brooke mccarter (paul from the lost boys) as tyler in ths film.

Thrashin'
This movie has good skate scenes, and the commentary track is hilarious. Filled with good info and drug and fart jokes

Bab's stepson
Corey webster leaves home with 35 bucks and skates his way to LA or venice beach to race in the LA downhill. along the way he falls for dorky Kristi whose brother is the leader of the evil DAGGERS. They have rank OJ in the frig and will stop at nothing to detroy the dream of Corey Webster turning pro.

Dopest movie ever!!!
Dude, this movie rocks!!! I mean, It's totally lame, but it's a must have for skaters (most because of the bonus dvd).
Well, everybody wrote about the movie, but it's not the main reason to have it. It's interesting cuz of the skate culture approach of the 80's. That was pretty rad! And thats something you should care to watch. Not the movie itself!!! ... Read more

DEFINITELY A KIDS MOVIE
If you're an adult, you will probably find this movie pretty bad. But if you're kid you probably will enjoy its cast of younguns and the silly things that go on. After all you get:
*A Brooklyn family relocated in the Witness Protection Program to a town called Cactus Flats, Arizona, population 1985.
*Two aliens who take on the form of country western singers, buy out a pet shop and bring along four cute little aliens which can transform into ordinary pets..object: take back four human kids in their place.
*Two bumbling beefcakes posing as mafia hitman who are very stupid but not funny.
*Terry Kiser as the dad Brooklyn accent and all.
*A wife who remodels their home to look like the Ponderosa, replete with a Manhattan skyline on their garage door.
*Four darling little kids who have not gone on to bigger and better roles.
*Cheap special effects straight out of H.R. Pufnstuf.
And more of the same.
Kids will love it--that's why I gave it five stars.
Adults, be warned: it's not one of those movies you can love along with the kids!!

The coolest video!
Pet Shop is a great story! I encourge anyone to see this video. The new-girl in town goes to the local pet shop and buys a dog which turns into a toy who talks. Well, i won't tell the rest, it's really cool. ... Read more

A NICE FAMILY FILM!
This is a really good movie with its great artwork,music,and thier wonderful Christmas songs.A must see movie for little kids and thier families.MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Animated version brings pleasant surprises
I was a bit skeptical to buy this because I am not too keen on the "animated" or "musical" versions of this timeless classic. But, the all-star cast peaked my curiosity, so I decided to give it a chance. I'm glad I did because I really enjoyed it. Tim Curry is terrific as Scrooge as is Michael York as his gentle-mannered apprentice, Bob Cratchet. I was amazed at just how closely they followed the book too, including scenes that I've never seen in the film versions. The music is rememerable and catchy (although not overly seasonal) and the added character; Scrooge's dog, "Debit" (aptly titled) adds just the right amount of humor. I really recommend this for fun family holiday viewing.

Best Animated Version
This is the best of the many animated versions of the classic tale. It is also the best musical version with songs that far surpass the 1970 (Albert Finney)musical extravaganza . You will come away remembering such songs as "Santa's Sooty Suit", "Random Acts of Kindness" and "Tale about Christmas". If you like animated versions, check out the Mr. Magoo , and the Flintstone versions as well as "The Stingiest Man in town" with the voices of Tom Bosley and Walter Matthau.

This is a great animated version of a classic
I loved this version of A Christmas Carol! It has some good songs and is very enjoyable. I recommend this to all children and even most adults wouldn't mind watching this. Tim Curry is not to be missed as Scrooge! If you have any questions or comments on my review please e-mail. ... Read more
