Snoopy, Come Home (1972)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Released in 1972 - Snoopy, Come Home is an animated musical comedy-drama film directed by Bill Melendez and written by Charles M. Schulz based on the Peanuts comic strip. The film marked the on-screen debut of Woodstock, who had first appeared in the strip in 1967.As the story goes - Charlie Brown's beloved dog Snoopy receives a letter from his original owner, Lila, who has been sick in the hospital.With his bird friend Woodstock, Snoopy goes to visit Lila, making his way across the country despite seeing "no dogs allowed" signs everywhere.When Lila gets better, she asks Snoopy to live with her. After a farewell party, he sets out to live with Lila, leaving Charlie Brown depressed.

When I first saw this movie I was like 3 or 4 years, and I thought of it as one of the greatest adventures in the world. But after a short while I realized there are many sad parts in it, especially the good bye party. I'm 21 now, and I'm still watching this movie over and over. I found out that no other cartoon has as beautiful loving parts filled with love as this one, but on the other side it is one of the most negative cartoons I've ever seen. Remember, right at the beginning Charlie Brown cuts his hand and is yelling at Snoopy. The other day Snoopy is very drastically fighting with Linus over a blanket(?). Next he goes boxing with with Lucy, ends up with a shoe in his face. Then we see as Lila is in the hospital, very sad music under it. Then Snoopy is thrown out of the beach because of the NO DOGS ALLOWED sign. He runs away from home to see Lila and meets this little girl who wants to keep Snoopy and Woodstock. Turns out to be a freak and beats Snoopy because of the tea SHE spills out on his dress. After they try to run away she takes Snoopy to the Vet where by sounds we can assume some pretty bad things happening. Meanwhile Charlie Brown is really sad. Snoopy gets to the hospital after a journey full of NO DOGS ALLOWED signs. Snoopy is hesitating with whom to stay Lila or Charlie. Snoopy goes home to say good-bye to his friends which is the saddest part in the movie. Snoopy goes to Lila and while leaving his Doghouse with the "For sale or to let" sign on it Woodstock runs after him crying while we can hear this really sad song in the background which later Charlie Brown is singing in his deep depression. This is the last sad part in the movie thank God, because when I'm watching it I cant manage to watch the whole movie with dry eyes. Thus the movie has VERY beautiful and happy and lovely parts in it. One of my favorite parts is when Peppermint Patty and Charlie Brown are at the amusement park and are talking about love and Charlie touches Patty's hand.This movie has marked my life for a lifetime positively and negatively. When I'm sad I just think of how Snoopy begins to laugh in the library. No wonder I always get upset when see somebody kick someone in the leg like Snoopy did to Linus,etc.I would recommend this movie to everyone because its beautiful, but warn children with weaker soul( I just cant find the right expression), because it can leave serious marks in a child's life. You can never get enough of this movie.Its brilliant Its beautiful yet very disturbing.

Just about every adult born before 1970 will know who "Peanuts" are. That lovable gang of children, with Snoopy, the worry-wart Charlie Brown's pet beagle, is the center of it all.This movie, Snoopy Come Home, is a great film, for young and for old. I remember watching it many dozen a time when I was between the age of 4-6. Every character has something a child can relate too! The musical score to this movie is fantastic, each tune being both catchy and sounding delightful to one's ears.If you have a sensitive child, I'd strongly urge you NOT to let them watch this film, as it WILL run the risk of damaging them down the track in years to come! From being hilariously funny to downright sad, there's a lot to love in this little animated dog, and a lot of attitude! So from giggling at Snoopy's delightfully cute laugh, or clicking your fingers along with one of this film's many tunes, this is a perfect movie for a parent and young children.

As a kid,I watched "Snoopy,Come Home" on CBS every time it was on. Each year that it was on,I understood a little more about the storyline than the last time before. To very briefly summarize,Charlie Brown has gotten fed up with Snoopy's ongoing shenanigans and Snoopy feels rejected by his owner (whom he refers to in the comic strips as "that round -headed kid".)This sets him off on a quest to find his previous owner Lila,which comes about after Lila writes to Snoopy from the hospital,asking him to visit her.I'm guessing also Snoopy's thinking she will appreciate him more than Charlie. I wouldn't have admitted it when I was younger but the scenes between Lila & Snoopy plus Charlie & The kids saying good-bye at Snoopy's farewell party did make me sad. I never forgot the songs from this,"Snoopy,Come Home","No Dogs Allowed","It Changes" and of course "Me and You (A Two Man Crew"). I occasionally find myself whistling the latter song from time to time. Which just shows how strong and wonderful this animated film was.As for the ending,I think that not only are the kids glad Snoopy (and Woodstock) returned,I think Snoopy's glad too. ....but maybe he appreciates the friends he has in the Peanuts gang a lot more now. As for his asking for his things back,well,that's the way Snoopy "always" is! He's kinda smug sometimes,I give you that.10 stars,for this and all Charles Schulz brought to us through these characters. I really miss the Peanuts strip on Sundays. (END)
