The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I saw this movie when I was four. I loved it as a kid, but now that I saw it with a new set of eyes, I found out that this is pure childhood melancholy! Apart from the film's opening theme song, which is downright catchy, there is this song that goes like this: "Me and you, a two-man crew. We are the best of buddies. We are the best of buddies." That song is happy. Another funny moment, was at the goodbye-party where Snoopy got bones for gifts given by the gang. Also, the part where Snoopy and Woodstock are on their way and they see a worm. Let's not forget the Snoopy vs. Linus and his boxing match with Lucy. That was funny. Humor aside, the 75% of the film is a tearjerker. Snoopy gets a letter from his original owner and has to go and meet her. Charlie Brown doesn't get it and the beagle's departure sends the whole gang to an uproar! Along, the way, Snoopy and Woodstock run into a common obstacle the "No Dogs Allowed" law. This sad story was a feature length adaptation from a comic strip that Charles Schultz made in 1968. If you think that is one surprising fact, another one is that the Sherman Brothers (the duo behind the MARRY POPPINS songs) wrote the songs. This is an attempt to make it commercial and to cater it to those who watch Disney and Saturday morning cartoons as seen with Snoopy saving Woodstock from the crazy animal-lover. (Call the ASPCA!) So if you think Disney is the only one that makes sad stuff, guess again. SNOOPY COME HOME is not the only one. CHARLOTTE'S WEB (1973) is a sad one (another one with songs by the Sherman Brothers). AN American TAIL (1986) is another. The ending to the Chuck Jones cartoon, WHAT'S OPERA DOC? (1957) is another. Recently, the FAIRLY ODDPARENTS episode, "The Grass is getting Greener" is an example. Another thing that made me rethink about this movie is that this was the last movie made by Cinema Center Films which was created by CBS. In fact, this was the last movie by Cinema Center Films and it was closed down because it was a flop! Why did it flop?1. Most people wanted to see their animated movies in the same or similar fashion as Disney. Which leads to two. 2. It tries to be like Disney with the avid musical numbers. (Did you know that aired on the Disney Channel a few times?)3. Too depressing. This film and THE REVENGERS were biggest flips from Cinema Center Films' biggest flops. Gee, if they only made a monster movie. Speaking monsters if you look in the background of the scene where Peppermint Patty and Charlie Brown are at the amusement park, you see posters that read "Dinosaurs", "Dragons" and "Moon Monsters." This is because that monsters were popular to kids, (specifically boys). This was in a time where monster movies were easily accessed to kids before political correctness ruined it. Speaking of politically correct, nobody wants to make a sad film, which is why there are a lot of cartoons that are wacky, upbeat, noisy and crude. Not to mention unintentional shock as seen in those post-2010 shows on Cartoon Network. So if your kids are hyped up on those wacky cartoons, give them a nice tranquil movie like this one. It brings back this innocent charm, so it is rated G.

As much as I love the "Peanuts" series, I stand neutral on this one. First off, I honestly think the series is much better off in 30 minute special form rather than feature length...part of the charm is the "quick simplicity, quick delivery, and to the point storytelling which sadly becomes clumsy, drawn out, and uneven in "Snoopy Come Home". We know very little about Lilia, why she's sick or why she suddenly want Snoopy back. Did her illness make her yearn for some form of comfort? With the sad music that accompanies her scenes in the hospital one could feel for her, but you just don't. (The hospital scenes in "Why Charlie Brown Why? are far superior as the viewer is able to understand the plight of Janice thus gaining sympathy for her.) On the subject of music, the whole soundtrack seems out of place in this film. As for the emotional components, the transition from sad to happy is too abrupt and that takes away from what could be a good story. On the plus side, the animation is charming, and you do feel for Charlie Brown with what he has to go through in the film. A good attempt that just could have turned out better.

I first saw Snoopy, Come Home in a theater in its original release and several other times on TV. It was great to see the Peanuts gang in their first film after A Boy Named Charlie Brown but i thought it was an emotional kids movie since the mood swung from happy to sad and back to happy again. It started happy when Snoopy went to the beach to meet Peppermint Patty than went to sad when we first saw Lila, Snoopy's original owner in the hospital, lonely and sad while we heard the song "Do You Remember Me?" one of several songs in the movie written by The Sherman Brothers. Also memorable were several scenes where Snoopy got kicked out of various places with a bass voice (Thurl Ravenscroft) bellowing "NO DOGS ALLOWED!" I thought the scenes where everybody was in tears at Snoopy's going-away party and Charlie Brown choking up were so sad. Same with his song "It Changes" with his spoken interlude about hating goodbyes. I have also thought that Charlie Brown's least favorite words were "Goodbye" and the song got to the point. But it turned out to be a happy ending when Snoopy returned. Woodstock, making his debut as Snoopy's bird buddy was delighted to see him. For those of you who saw Snoopy, Come Home and plan to watch it with your kids, I suggest you bring a box of tissues.

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.
