Summary: VERY UN-PEANUTS
Review: Unfortunately, this video strays from the Peanuts norm. It has very little to do with the Peanuts characters, and has more to do with the altered re-telling of a fairy tale. There are adults talking and singing throughout the movie, and the Peanuts characters seem very out-of-place in this adult-inclusive environment. The Peanuts characters are drawn in "Peanuts" style, but all the other characters look like they could be characters in "Frosty the Snowman." The different styles of animation do not mesh well.

The only redeeming quality of this film is the 10-minute talk with Charles Schulz at the end.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It's Not The Same
Review: Very disappointed. Like a fool, I bought it because I saw the words "Peanuts Classic" on the front of the case. Had I flipped it over I would have noticed it was copyrighted in the year 2000. I had thought it was an older video that I simply missed. Snoopy and the gang are hardly in the video. If you enjoy watching mice Riverdancing and squaredancing, and like the old "corrupt Mayor" routine, then you will enjoy this video. The only thing that remotely made this worth some of the purchase was the Charles Schulz interview on the DVD. That was interesting. However, I still recommend not purchasing this at list price.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Pied Piper
Review: What do you do when your town is overrun with soccer-playing, river-dancing mice? Charlie Brown has an idea-call Snoopy to the rescue! In this delightful Peanuts Classic-the last special developed under the supervision of creator Charles Shultz-Snoopy becomes the Pied Piper Beagle. Playing a magical-sounding concertina, Snoopy travels from street to street trying to make the troublemaking mice follow him out of town. Will it work? We'll find out as this beloved story unfolds and have a lot fun dancing, laughing and playing along the way. Featuring a bonus tribute to Charles Shultz, It's The Pied Piper, Charlie Brown is a program every Peanuts fan will cherish.
