A Boy Named Charlie Brown (1969)


National General Pictures
Directed by Bill Melendez
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, Paramount)

Charlie Brown, depressed about losing, enters the school spelling bee and unexpectedly wins. He travels to New York City for the national spelling bee with intense pressure to win again. He is given Linus' blanket for good luck, but Linus misses it so much that he travels with Snoopy to get it back. They watch Charlie Brown in the contest, and he loses in the final round. Dejected, they go home to deal with the fall out and find that nothing really changed. The first Peanuts film is the best, seamlessly bringing to life the beloved comic strip characters.
