A-maz-ing

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Happy Valentine's Day guys today I'm going to review The peanuts Valentines Special "Be My Valentine Charlie Brown". This Special is Charlie wanting a Valentine from someone but no ones give him one. I feel bad for Charlie Brown that no one gives him a Valentine until the end. As a kid a watched this Special a lot around Valentine's Day. It's not as good The Christmas,Thanksgiving and Halloween Specials but it's okay. I do Like the Part where Linus was throwing the chocolates and Snoopy and Woodstock where eating them. Anyway "Be My Valentine Charlie Brown" is a decent Valentine's Day and I give it a 8 out 10 stars. Anyway Guys Have a Happy Valentine's Days. See you

This cute, animated short (25 minutes) from 1975, has that always-optimistic, little, onion-headed boy, Charlie Brown, impatiently waiting by the mailbox for someone/anyone to send him a valentine (since Valentine's Day is just around the corner).Join the "Peanuts" gang as they merrily (or miserably) hold their Valentine's Day party at Birchwood Elementary School where everyone exchanges valentines with their favourites classmates.One of this cartoon's highlights is when Snoopy plays cupid, shooting suction-cup arrows from his bow. And then he puts on a hilarious Valentine's Day puppet show that features all sorts of realistic special effects."Peanuts" and all of its memorable characters was created by Charles M. Shulz, who is considered to be one of the most influential cartoonists of all time. Shulz died in 2000, at the age of 77, from cancer.

From the very beginning of the "Peanuts" specials, it's been clear that the makers were very opposed to the commercialism of many holidays. Remember the protest in "It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown" -- "It's Easter and they already have their Christmas decorations up!". So the very cynical view of this holiday, which has been completely co-opted by the greeting card and candy industries, in this special, can't really come as any surprise.Yet at the same time, the animators do take the time, via Sally's recitation of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's famous poem, to offer a sincere tribute to the spirit of the holiday and the sentiments that it's supposed to be about. Admittedly, they also undercut that by having Linus specifically mention her, and the poem, in his ultimate denunciation of the holiday.

No one seems to have a good time or find love in this Peanuts TV special. Charlie gets no Valentine cards, Linus misses out on his opportunity to give chocolates to his favorite teacher and Shroeder vows to never marry Lucy, much to her anger.It's kinda downbeat for a Valentine's TV special. So much so that kids from all over America sent Charlie Brown a Valentine's card out of sympathy. Which is quite sweet when you think about it. As long as they were all girls.Still, it's another funny and timeless TV special that you should definitely make the effort of watching if it comes on this Feb 14th. Though it might depress you if you yourself do not receive any Valentine's card.
