It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Linus believes that The Great Pumpkin will bring toys to all the children who believe in him on Halloween night. Lucy, Snoopy, Sally, Pigpen and just about everyone else except maybe Charlie Brown, think he is making a fool out of himself. They go out for Trick or Treat for candy but Linus and Sally stay in the pumpkin patch waiting for the Great Pumpkin to come.
There is hope, faith, expectation and caring. Hey, either you belive in Santa, The Easter Bunny or the Great Pumpkin, or you don't! We even have Snoopy, the W.W.I. flying ace in a dog fight with The Red Baron behind enemy lines.
This is arguably one of the 2 or possibly 3 best Peanut features Charles Schulz ever created. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown has wit and wisdom that not only children can relate to, but adults can understand also.
The bonus feature: You're not elected, Charlie Brown is another 25 minute feature. Linus is running for student body president and it's a close race. Charlie Brown is his campaign manager and of course he has help from Lucy, Snoopy, Woodstock and all the rest. During the debate with his opponent, Linus is on a role until he brings up the subject of the Great Pumpkin (that's the tie in with the other feature.) Of course, the election results are a surprise. Certainly not as good as the first feature, but entertaining none the less.
