highly recommended

Three years after A Boy Named Charlie Brown (1969), Charles Schulz's beloved "Peanuts" characters hit the big screen again in the enjoyable Snoopy, Come Home. This time, everyone's favorite beagle turns the kids' world upside down when he receives a mysterious letter from a girl named Lila and hits the road with best friend Woodstock, evading sadistic would-be pet owner and other perils along the way. Meanwhile, Charlie Brown is left to wonder: Who is Lila, and will Snoopy ever return? Snoopy, Come Home still holds up well for kids of all ages, though the mod opening sequence and snappy songs by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and other Disney films) are unmistakably from the '70s. Vince Guaraldi's jazzy music is missed, but Thurl Ravenscroft, best known for "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" and the laugh of the Jolly Green Giant, lends his basso profundo to the persistent "No dogs allowed!" (All ages: minor cartoon violence). --David Horiuchi

Snoopy's always allowed here!

I don't even remember seeing this one when I was growing up, but I used to have it on videotape for my oldest daughter. I recently got it on dvd and my youngest daughter was mesmerized (her first intro to Peanuts), my older daughter was thrilled to see it again, and even my husband stopped what he was doing and stood in the doorway for a bit before reluctantly sitting down to watch the rest.

It is done so well, and it's such a good movie!

It starts off with great scenes of Snoopy playing with the Peanuts gang (and Woodstock-- his first appearance anywhere). Snoopy surfing, helping Peppermint Patty build a grand sand castle, just enjoying life as only Snoopy does! But, then he finds himself excluded from the beach the next day as a "No Dogs Allowed" sign appears. And then it seems there are "No Dogs Allowed" signs just about everywhere. Charlie Brown gets angry at Snoopy and Snoopy is a bit unhappy. Just about this time, we meet Lila-- a sweet lonely little girl in a far away hospital. Remembering when Snoopy belonged to her, she writes Snoopy a letter.

When Snoopy receives the letter, he becomes all teary eyed and, with Woodstock, begins the journey to visit Lila.

Though Charlie Brown is sad to see Snoopy go, Snoopy must leave and he and Woodstock find the journey itself to be quite an adventure. And, once he finds Lila, Snoopy has a difficult decision to make. This one is a definite tear-jerker!

Vince Guaraldi's music is absent here-- all the songs are written by Richard Sherman and Robert Sherman. As I remember finding fault in this while watching it on videotape years ago, I was completely happy with the music now. Vince Guaraldi's jazzy piano might be more fun, but the Sherman tunes were truly delightful.

Snoopy Come Home is one of the best Peanuts movies-- completely charming from beginning to end!

Best Peanut movie

best Peanuts movie! I cried when Snoopy in the movie theatre when it first showed. I was so afraid Charlie Brown would never see Snoopy again. Young children and adults would enjoy this comedy written by Charles Schulz in true Schulz fashion. Although children younger than three may not enjoy it as much as those who would understand what it means to own a pet.

No Dogs Allowed...

Maybe it was because Snoopy's visit made Lila get well, but I always watched this when I stayed home sick for school and it always made me feel better. A great story of friendship and loyalty. It is sad in some parts, as Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and just about everyone else gets their heart broken at some point. Younger kids may be influenced by Snoopy's fights with Linus and Lucy, others will just find them funny (doesn't get better than Snoopy with a boxing glove on his nose). I thought the best part of the movie was the irony of the ending, and that Snoopy is for once glad to see a certain sign.

You will be a Snoopy fan for life after watching this movie.

This movie is a tear jerky but you can't help but feel good after watching it. Not many of the peanuts movies have much of a plot to them. But this movie goes in a different directions. It shows many different kinds of emotions. This is a great snoopy movie to add to your collection. I recommend it to everyone.

uh

I thought it a good movie. Maybe not not best but at least they tried.I liked the songs but there were some things I did not like but I don't want to talk about it, don't ask why.
