Happiness is a Warm Blanket DVD

I cannot tell you how many times I have watched my favorite Charlie Brown movies over and over again as both a child and an adult. I could probably recite the lines from It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown by heart. Charlie Brown movies are just some of my very favorite cartoons. Well guess what? There is an all new Charlie Brown movie for you to watch and share with your kids! I had no idea they were even making new Charlie Brown movies so I was psyched when I found out!


The newest movie is Happiness is a warm Blanket, Charlie Brown and it was released by Warner Home Video on March 29.   If you've been watching Charlie Brown movies for a while, you'll remember that each character has their very own special quirks about them.  Schroeder plays the piano.  Lucy is bossy. Linus has his blanket. Well this new movie is all about Linus and his blanket.  In this movie, he finds out that his Grandmother is coming to visit and doesn't approve of his blanket.  Everyone decides to help Linus get rid of his dependence on his blanket before his Grandmother arrives and takes it away.  Lucy plays psychiatrist.  Charlie Brown tries to help but cannot stand to see Linus unhappy. Snoopy is just his typical mischievous self.  At the end of the movie, Linus and everyone else learn a very valuable lesson about security blankets.

Even though this is a new movie, it has the same feel as the older movies.  The characters are just as funny as I remember them and the original look is the same as well. Also included on the DVD are these special features: Happiness Is...Finding the Right Voice, 24 Frames a Second: Drawing and Animating a Peanuts Movie, Deconstructing Schulz: From Comic Strip to Screenplay, and Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown - Deleted Scene. Total playing time is 46 minutes.
