A BOY NAMED CHARLIE BROWN (Released to Theaters USA 1969)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì  A Boy Named Charlie Brown—novel, cute, creative—the heavy reliance on music as well as its terrific storyline helps this film. It has all the right stuff for both the adult and child audience. WOW! The film has been sculpted in such a way that the presentation, portrayal, and writing stand out. This is the first feature/theatrical film that the producers put out from the comic strip classic "Peanuts."

He decides to join the Spelling Bee.    Additional Thanks  Thank you to Director Bill Melendez for directing effort. Thank you to Producer Lee Mendelson for making the film possible. Cast includes Peter Robbins, Pamelyn Ferdin, Glenn Gilger, and Andy Pforsich.  Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?  Yes. This is a really good watch. The drawn animation is good while the content relies heavily on musical scoring.  Video Critique Available Here: Ben Meyers
