| Two of the all-time cartoon classics It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966) and A Charlie Brown Christmas (a Peabody and Emmy winner from 1965) highlight this three-disc, six-episode set. Although the DVDs contain no extras (good grief!) and could have been combined on a single disc (drat!), the collection looks and sounds wonderful on DVD. The content is the same on the VHS and DVD sets, with two episodes per tape or disc. Accompanying Pumpkin is You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown, a cute spin on politics that has aged very well since its 1972 release. Christmas sports a lackluster sequel of sorts, It's Christmas Time Again, Charlie Brown (1992) that has Sally dwelling on getting (instead of giving), Charlie Brown facing a spending dilemma, and everyone suffering stage fright before the annual school play. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973) also won an Emmy but is not as well known as others; it also suffers from not having the original cast. Snoopy is foremost in helping to put on an impromptu feast (toast and popcorn) as the gang keeps forgetting the true meaning of the holiday. Also on the disc is a better Thanksgiving venue, The Mayflower Voyages (1988), part of the This is America, Charlie Brown series that breathed new life into the franchise. Mostly narrated by Linus, the show traces the Pilgrims' plight and doesn't talk down to youngsters on the hardships they faced. It's a treasure of a gift (for others or yourself), all nicely packaged. --Doug Thomas Editorial Descriptions are usually submitted by the manufacturers, publishers and authors.

I love watching the Peanuts Holiday specials every December so when I saw this Peanuts Holiday DVD Collecton I bought it and I really liked watching these specials again. They are The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and A Charlie Brown Christmas and they aare all great and I highly recommend this boxset but I must say I wish they had included the Easter cartoon It's The Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown.

Let the child speak in you. Charlie Brown's just waiting with his sad eyes, to wish you a happy Christmas, a happy Thanksgiving and err... a Great Pumpkin.
Get this dvd now, if not for your kids, for yourself !

This collection is a must have for families with children. Who doesn't remember growing up with The Peanuts Gang and the wonder works of Charles Schulz. Children and families love tradition and this collection would be a wonderful tradition to have fun viewing as a family every Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas to come and to pass on to their children. I purchased this gift for my brother, his wife and their children and the kids could not wait to put the DVD's in and start creating memories right away. Take time with family and enjoy your children.

Peanuts Collection is a well loved childhood show for me. I use to stay up all night and watch all of the holiday shows from peanuts. The Christmas one is my favorite just because Christmas is my favorite holiday. Children of all ages I think will like it. Who doesn't like Charlie Brown?

This is a set with the great classics "A Charlie Brown Christmas", "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown", and "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving", which is the weakest of the 3, in my opinion. The set also includes extra features: "It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown" which is not as good as "Charlie Brown Christmas". But "The Mayflower Voyagers" is also included and is very well done, as is "You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown." I highly recommend this set! Especially in an age of such nonsense as "Sponge Bob" and "Rug Rats" and other such mindless drivel. Thank you, Charles M. Schultz. Thanks also to Bill Melendez and Lee Mendelson for great classic programs that we can easily pass on to future generations.
