When Charlie Brown reads aloud the classic tale of a rat-ridden city, he recasts it as a modern-day misadventure involving a band of sports mice that overruns his town. Whether kicking soccer balls, riding motorbikes, or skating through plazas, these little gray rodents are prolific and proud. They parachute onto dining tables to devour scraps of food, and they river-dance their way into City Hall. How to rid the town of these menacing exhibitionists? Just in time, Charlie Brown introduces the mayor to the Pied Piper Beagle, an adroit accordionist also known as Snoopy. With his usual sophistication, the clever canine parades the band of misfit mice to the edge of town, getting rid of them forever. Snoopy is quickly heralded a hero, but the mayor reneges on his promised payment of a year's supply of dog food. Sweet and unassuming, with a silky-smooth score from David Benoit, this direct-to-video cartoon is a fitting tribute to the late Charles Schulz (it is also the last Peanuts special developed under his supervision). Endearing to the end, it is a classic reminder of why America's famous beagle is still a pied piper of sorts, captivating millions of fans with his enchanting spell--with or without an accordion. Also included is a deft 11-minute feature on Schulz outlining the origins of Peanuts, including a timeline showing when the characters were created. Just right for kids interested in such things. Ages 4 and older. --Lynn Gibson

O.K., the first 5 minutes of this video special are not bad, but once Charlie Brown starts telling Sally the story of the Pied Piper you may as well pop the disc out.
In true Peanuts tradition, this story should have been told from the perspective of Charlie Brown & the Peanuts Gang. Instead we have ADULTS TALKING & discussing their problems. Through out the entire show, I kept thinking of the way it should have been told.
Now this is not the first Charlie Brown Special ... Read More

you can't go wrong with Charles M. Schulz. Who doesn't love Charlie Brown and the whole Peanuts Gang! It's a classic. fun for the whole family.

I'm 37 years old and grew up watching the peanuts specials which I love, but hadn't seen this one so I picked it up and was extremely disappointed in what I saw. Charles Schultz is credited as writer, but this 'classic' is copywrited 2000 and released posthumously to Mr. Schultz's death-I can't believe he would have green-lighted the release if he had viewed the final cut. Hardly the 'swan song' of an amazing career!
The video starts out okay, but once we get into the retelling of the 'Pied ... Read More

I'm not entirely sure if I like this one or not. It seems to be missing something from the original Peanuts modus operandi. Maybe it's because we get to see and hear the adults. Maybe it's the river dancing mice. I understand it's Charlie reading to Sally, which is reminicent of the Garfield and Friends U.S. Acres when Orson reads to Wade, but it doesn't seem to have the same quality. It's always the last one my nephew and niece choose to watch when lined up against Charlie Brown's Valentines, Christmas, ... Read More

chidren are 2yrs. and 3yrs. and LOVE Charlie Brown cartoons, however they wre not very interested in this particular movie. maybe they are too young for this charlie Brown movie. The 3yr. old watched for about 10 min. before becoming bored with it and the 2yr. old barely made 5min.(and she can sit and watch an entire Charlie Brown movie!!) will try this one again in about a year or more.
