Snoopy Come Home (1972)


National General Pictures
Directed by Bill Melendez
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, Paramount)

Snoopy gets a letter from a little girl in a hospital who turns out to be his original owner. After a long trek with his pal Woodstock, including a stay with a clingy girl and visit to a veterinarian, he arrives at the hsopital. However, the visit soon turns to a plea for him to return to her permanently. Snoopy goes back home to Charlie Brown and friends and informs them of his intentions. There is a going away party and sad, and funny, farewells, an especially poignant one with Charlie Brown. Now out of the hospital, Snoopy arrives at her apartment building only to encounter a "No Dogs Allowed" signs which saves the day. Colorful second Peanuts feature, if a bit dated now with psychedelic-tinged interludes, sadly missing the music of Vince Guaraldi in favor of Disney-esque songs by the Sherman Brothers.
