THE PEANUTS GANG
IS BACK
WITH
THE ALL-NEW
ORIGINAL MOVIE
BY WARNER HOME
VIDEO
In this heartwarming new tale,
Linus is pushed to his limits when he learns his grandmother is coming to visit
and plans to rid him of his most cherished possession, his beloved security
blanket. As grandma’s impending arrival looms closer, the Peanuts gang finds
ways to try and help Linus lose his dependence on his fuzzy crutch.
Lucy is particularly eager to
cure Linus’ emotional attachment and applies her own psychiatric techniques.
Charlie Brown on the other hand does his best to help but he just does not have
the heart to see Linus suffer. Snoopy constantly agitates matters because he
longs to have the blanket himself. In the end, insightful Linus points out that
everyone has their own type of “security blanket” and that in life, a little
security is a valuable thing.
Happiness is a Warm
Blanket, Charlie Brown is comprised of original comic strip ideas
created by Charles Schulz. The concept was to stay true to the characters’ emotion
and original look of the strip while still producing a new story, with Schulz’s
work at the heart of the program.
Craig Schulz, son of the Peanuts
creator, served as one of the executive producers and writers of the film along
with Stephen Pastis, who wrote the special as well. Happiness is a
Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown was also executive produced by Paige
Braddock and Linda M. Steiner and was directed by animator Andy Beall (Up,
Ratatouille) and Frank Molieri (The Simpsons Movie, SpongeBob
SquarePants Movie). This is the first
Peanuts special produced in several years.
In the below video Linus freaks out when Lucy washes his blanket. This reminds me of my son and his blanket or "night night" as he calls it!
I have always been a fan of the Peanuts! We have a ton of the DVDs and this was a welcomed addition. As a mom of two children who have security items, I could totally relate to this movie. It was so entertaining and both my kids loved it! This would make a great addition to an Easter basket!
Here is another great clip. Gotta love good old Snoopy!
