Summary: The Main Feature is Great!
Review: I really enjoy watching Christmas movies and animated Christmas specials and I grew up watching A Charlie Brown Christmas and I think it's a really cute Christmas Special that is great for the whole family and points out the true meaning of Christmas. A Charlie Brown Christmas is great but the extra feature It's Christmas Time Again Charlie Brown is not!

Summary: Still brings tears to your eyes!
Review: A TRUE Christmas classic. There are lots of great Christmas movies and TV shows that are fun to watch each year, from CHRISTMAS VACATION to THE GRINCH. But there is something special about Charlie Brown's take.First of all, it's the only mainstream Christmas classic that actually DARES to bring the story of the birth of Jesus to front and center!! When Linus takes centerstage and quotes the bible for us, you can almost feel the air suck out of the room. It's a moment of simple drama that can really bring a tear to your eye. Linus, without saying a harsh word, essentially tells everyone to "shut up and remember the meaning of this holiday!" It's a beautiful moment. There's plenty of amusing stuff too. The pitiful tree...Snoopy's hijinks, etc. It's not laugh out loud funny, of course, but sweet and innocent. These are kids who live in a world without adults...and don't seem to need them either! It's always a nice 22 minute trip down memory lane. Every adult should own this...if only to take minute to journey back to childhood. And kids need to keep seeing this. I'm glad it has remained a classic. The animation is no great shakes, of course, but the style is executed marvelously. The voice acting, on the other hand, leaves nothing to be desired. The kids involved have done a terrific job. The music, ever present, is great, as we've come to expect from any Peanuts special. All in all, this is a MUST OWN DVD. (I do wish there were more extras available. Other than a 2nd Christmas special...it's okay, but no classic...there is nothing. Can't believe there isn't some little documentary or something out there.)

Summary: The special that could not be made in this day and age.
Review: In addition to being a true classic, "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is a cultural landmark -- an indicator of where our nation has been, and where it is going. In 1965, it was acceptable to put on network TV a program with an explicit Christian message (Linus reads from the Gospel of Luke! The kids sing "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing"! The names "God" and "Christ" actually spoken!). Today, the script would not pass muster at the networks. We might offend someone, you know. I can't think of a better indicator than this great program to measure the decline of our society. I guess when the moral busybodies finally succeed in removing "A Charlie Brown Christmas" from the annual rotation (and they will eventually attempt to do so, in the name of "multiculturalism" or "tolerance"), we can close the book on our once-great country.

Summary: The Family Favorite that never gets old.
Review: As kids, we waited with great anticipation for Christmas to roll around and nothing marked the onset of the season like this Peanuts classic. As much an integral part of the holidays as the smell of turkey roasting, decorating the tree and the Arizona Cardinals not making the postseason. Possibly THE best soundtrack of all time, featuring Vincent Guaraldi's jazzy takes on Christmas classics and "Linus and Lucy." You owe it to yourself, your kids and grandkids to add this to your collection!

Summary: Two Treasures on One DVD
Review: It is delightful to finally have "A Charlie Brown Christmas" on DVD, to be enjoyed year after year. The bonus feature, the 1992 sequel, "It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown", is also a great plus. In the classic installment Charlie Brown learns the true meaning of Christmas. In the 1992 episode Charlie Brown and the gang attempt to keep the message in perspective while working through yet another Christmas play, as well as avoiding the urge to get caught up in the materialism of it (well, Sally doesn't actually avoid it). :)

Summary: One of the Cutest Christmas Specials Ever!!
Review: I am 10 years old and a huge fan of the Peanuts. Each Christmas I watch this movie at least once and I am never disappointed. The kids' Christmas pagaent, Snoopy's 1st prize ribbon for Best Decorated DogHouse, and Charlie's poor little broken-down tree are stand-outs. All the characters shine...Lucy and her group are as bratty as ever, Linus is as wise, Shroeder (sp?) is as bent on Beethoven, and, of course, good ol' Charlie Brown, the old soul, is as wishy-washy and awkward is his loveable way. The gang adds something to my Christmas every holiday season.

Summary: A True Holiday Classic!
Review: Every year since I was a child I have watch this program on TV, now I'm happy to own it. In this crazy mixed up world we live in, A Charlie Brown Christmas takes all back to a simpler time when we re-discover the true meaning of Christmas. I grew up on Charlie Brown and my kids will to. There are many Christmas specials we all look forward to watching, but by far, this one is the true classic.

Summary: One Of The *~BEST~* Christmas Shows Ever Made!!
Review: This is one of the best Christmas shows ever made. I just love the Charlie Brown Christmas specials. The second Christmas special is my favorite. This DVD is super because it has BOTH of the Christmas specials on the DVD. You get two for the price of one. I strongly suggest this DVD. You will not be sorry that you bought this DVD, if you go out and buy it. You will watch it over and over again.

Summary: The true meaning of Christmas, for kids
Review: A Charlie Brown Christmas is my personal favorite Christmas movie for children of all time. The movie is entertaining and funny, just as the peanuts movies always are. Mostly, though, I love the fact that this movie pulls no punches when dealing with the over commercialization of a sacred holiday. Indeed, the movie comes together with Linus quoting from sacred scripture after Charlie Brown asks in frustration what the true meaning of Christmas really is. If you are parent who wants an entertaining Christmas movie for your kids that doesn't attempt to gloss over the true meaning of Christmas by using gushy messages about peace on earth and family togetherness, but gets right to the point of Christ's birth, consider a Charlie Brown Christmas. You won't be disappointed.
