Product Description
Movie DVD
Outline
"Peanuts" creator Charles Schulz retired from the cartoonist's life early in 2000, and indeed left a few loose strings hanging among his chronically dissatisfied characters. He never did, for instance, cut Charlie Brown much slack in the romance department (or let him kick Lucy's football, for that matter). Sympathetic readers might have taken note of a story in the press just before Schulz said farewell, in which the inspiration for Charlie Brown's unrequited love interest--the never-seen, too-distant, "little red-haired girl"--was identified as a woman who turned down a marriage proposal from Schultz a half-century ago. That bit of biographical detail now adds poignancy to Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown, a 1975 television special built upon years of Valentine's Day "Peanuts" strips. This half-hour show finds Charlie Brown suffering, typically, the ignominy of receiving no hearts-and-flowers greetings while the rest of the gang, including Snoopy, spend their day sorting through piles of love notes. Worse, Schulz's famous sad sack can't get up the nerve to approach his unapproachable angel, though there may be--just may be--a glimmer of hope this time around. It may be Valentine's Day, but not much else is different in the "Peanuts" neighborhood. --Tom KeoghOn the DVD
The 2008 remastered DVD has the two additional specials that were on the previous DVD, You're in Love, Charlie Brown (1967), in which our hero tries to meet the little red-haired girl, and It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown (1977), a vastly more complex production that has two focuses for CB: win the big football even though Lucy keeps pulling the ball away, and escort--and kiss--the little red-haired girl to the homecoming ball. New for 2008 is a 15-minute featurette on the theme of unrequited love in the "Peanuts" world, with interviews of the Schulz family, Lee Mendelson, and others. --David Horiuchi

 | Valentines plus some extras Apr 12, 2010 |
| Though these were not my favorites of the peanuts specials, the stories are great in their own right. It is known as charlie brown red when requested by our little girl. Lucky is the child that gets to grow up with a beagle named Snoopy! | | | | Shultz was a blessing to us all Mar 19, 2010 |
| Excellent service from this supplier. The product was as advertised, good value, and arrived quickly. Thank you. | | | | I love Charlie Brown Feb 21, 2010 |
My five year old daughter is obsessed with Peanuts. Thank God, I finally get to watch something I grew up with and enjoy it all over again. Snoopy and Charlie Brown are timeless.
It's great that they have three Valentine t.v. specials on this dvd, great value. | | | | Great old Peanuts Episodes Feb 11, 2010 |
I have always loved Peanuts. And when the decade collections came out I was happy to see some of the shows that were not easy to find, and a few that were not on any of my existing discs. When I discovered that the Valentine's show didn't make the '70s volume one, I was disappointed. I love all the Peanuts holiday shows, and this one is somewhat poignant in that poor Charlie Brown is once again let down. This time, though his disappointment is worse. At least he got rocks during Halloween, a sharp reproach from Peppermint Patty on Thanksgiving--at least someone paid him attention-- and an actual Merry Christmas greeting after everyone decided that his tree was OK. This time he's left devastated.
The extras are pretty good. You're in Love, Charlie Brown is one of my favorite oldies. It's Your First Kiss, not so much. The set includes a featurette called Unlucky in Love, which is somewhat of a documentary.
If you're a collector, it's a must, but it's worth it regardless. | | | | One of the best Oct 9, 2009 |
| Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown is one of the best of the TV specials, featuring a strong storyline laced with lots of ironic comedy based around unfulfilled expectations. Nicely supplemented by the mini-documentary too. | | | Write your own review about Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown (Remastered Deluxe Edition)
