Snoopy's Reunion

Amazon.com Snoopy's Reunion was a 1991 television special that was unique in three major ways: it provided a rare look at all seven of Snoopy's siblings, filled in the story of Snoopy's adoption by Lila and her subsequent return of Snoopy to the puppy farm and his re-adoption by Charlie Brown, and was the only Peanuts show to feature adults speaking in anything other than "wah-wahs." Once a close beagle family that loved to make music together, Snoopy, Spike, Olaf, Andy, Marbles, Molly, Rover, and Belle were all adopted into different families and, while Snoopy loves his new life with Charlie Brown and the gang, he misses his siblings and has a case of the blues. In hopes of cheering up Snoopy, Charlie Brown arranges a reunion with Snoopy's brothers and sister and, once they're all assembled, they board a bus headed for Daisy Hill Puppy Farm where they were born. Urban development has markedly changed the landscape when they arrive, but the bonds of family are strong and the siblings manage to have a jammin' reunion and help Snoopy trade in the blues for some happier tunes. While music plays an important role in Snoopy's Reunion, it's absolutely key in the second feature "It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown." A 1984 parody of Flashdance, the gang tout the benefits of exercise, learn to dance at their own individual paces, and dance the night away at their home dance parties; but it's Snoopy who proves to have the fanciest footwork of all when he turns out to be the star of the discotheque. A new 10-minute featurette, filmed at Comic-Con 2008, features interview footage from Peanut's producer Lee Mendelson and lots of the then-child voice artists including Peter Robins (Charlie Brown--1965-1969), Sally Dryer (Lucy and Violet--1965-1969), Chris DeFaria (Peppermint Patty and Pigpen--1969-1973), Hilary Momberger (Sally--1969-1973), and Jason Mendelson (Rerun--1983-1985). The artists reminisce about recording for the show, talk about the then-innovative concept of using real kids as voice artists, reveal the unusual and often nepotistic paths that led to their being cast for the program, and laugh at how their experiences on Peanut's generally failed to lead to careers in show business. Peanuts is the iconic, timeless cartoon--watch, reminisce, and be sure to share the experience with your children and grandchildren--they'll love it. --Tami Horiuchi Product Description Peanuts: Snoopy's Reunion: Deluxe Edition Snoopy is homesick for his puppyhood at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm, so he and Charlie Brown organize a reunion of his siblings Spike, Andy, Olaf, Marbles, Belle, Molly and Rover. However, when they arrive at the puppy farm, Charlie Brown is aghast to find that urban sprawl has replaced it with a parking garage. Snoopy and his family however, calmly begin to play musical instruments they've each bought, thoroughly satisfied that they are together on the sidewalk in front. ]]>
