I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Such a frustrating disappointment

A Major Disappointment

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

While I love Charlie Brown, still really Linus is my favorite as the voice of reason. And as the conscience of Charlie and the kids. Charlie kind of takes a backseat to Linus.As he falls in love with a blonde hair girl. As she gets leukemia. And loses her hair. As she must have treatment. And Linus really is grieved with this. Loved the way that he stood up to a bully. Who was making fun of her, for losing her hair. Later the bully becomes nicer. After learning of her disease.As Linus really took the spotlight. Wished that he could take the spotlight more. As really he is my favorite of the Peanuts. Even before Charlie Brown!Touching and moving and risky for a cartoon to take on the cancer thing. As kids needed to know how cancer is involved.

My youngest daughter loved this show and watched it over and over again because we bought it on video. I'm surprised it hasn't been put on DVD by now.It is a show that deals with the sensitivity about a childhood illness and at the same time brings us some humorous moments with Snoopy. My daughtered loved the part where Snoopy unplugs Charlie Brown's light he's reading by to plug in his Christmas lights.The most unrealistic part is when the girl has her full head of hair at the end. Nobody's hair grows back that fast after Chemo, but I think the message was is that her hair would grow back. Something the kids needed to know. Most kids like to have happy endings.No, it wasn't perfect but in my opinion it was done well.

For little kids, this is a great video for explaining cancer. Any kind of cancer, almost, not just leukemia. In a very gentle way, it gives a basic overview of testing and the effects of chemo. It also makes sure to provide a few of the traditional Snoopy laughs while still being true to the serious nature of the story. It's one of my favorite Peanuts specials, and I was glad to learn it is on video; I'm going to order a copy ASAP.

No other cartoonist who dare address subject matter as death can achieve such brilliance as Charles M. Schulz. One of the absolute best of the Peanuts TV movies, a beautiful piece that stays with you throughout the years.
