It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

You know that feeling you get when you watch Charlie Brown shows? This has that same wonderful feeling. Its that cute warm and fuzzy feeling that we always going.It starts out when the teacher springs an assignment to be done over the Christmas break, to read War and Peace and write a report. I remember when I was rather young and wasn't going to school for trimesters that my teachers would give me a little bit of homework but not very much so I could enjoy the break. I have a big feeling I was lucky. And threw all this, he gets distracted like us all of us when we were his age (not sure exactly what that age is) into not doing the report.There were times in this show that I actually didn't like Linus in this show. He got very preachy to a point that he was distracting to Charlie Brown. Other little things were a bit odd like Lucy holding a dance class for everyone to learn before the New Years party. I always wonder why they just didn't do the dancing they did in the Christmas special.I think one of the funniest moments they had was when Rerun was blowing up balloons with his brother and sister, but yet every time he did, they would turn out square. It actually had me stop and think how the hell that was even possible because the only character that I would normally see doing that would be Snoopy. When everyone else is pretty much normal for a day in the life of a child, Snoopy would be the one that stands out with all the strange things that happen.There really isn't much to talk about the artwork because it's the same as the others before, not really much changed. Same for the voices. The music though is actually fully to the times. They actually sing a bit and use really interesting swing music.

Old blockhead Charlie Brown gets nothing right. And nothing goes right for him either. This New Year themed special is no exception. All Chuck wants to do is prepare for a New Year's Eve party and ask out the little red-headed girl he's long had a crush on. Only his luck would land him with the task of reading War and Peace in just a few days with a book report due as soon as he goes back to school.While the others are having fun, dancing, drinking root beer, and counting down to midnight Chuck can do nought but slave away through the pages of a Russian epic. You can't help but feel sorry for him. His bad luck doesn't end there though, or ever come to think of it.Makes for a perfect double-bill with any of the Peanuts Xmas specials in the week between Dec 25th and Dec 31st.

This is a good show and I don't understand why it hasn't been put on DVD like the other Holiday Charlie Brown Shows. Poor Charlie Brown the worst he can think of always seems to happen to him, like when he gets his hand caught trying to deliver an invitation to the red hair girl.Then when she does show up for the party he's not there to bring in the New Year.It's funny how much time Peppermint Patty spends trying to get Chuck to notice her.Great Show!

This has one of my all-time favorite lines. Sally wonders to Charlie Brown, when will her Sweet Babboo invite her to the party? Linus responds from outside, "I AM NOT YOUR SWEET BABBOO! AND I WOULDN'T INVITE YOU TO A GARAGE SALE!"I think this also marks the only appearance ever of the Little Red Haired Girl, whom we not only see, but also find out that her name is Heather.Poor Charlie Brown... trying to learn to dance, read War and Peace, make an appearance at at New Year's Party, and still deal with his crazy dog!
