A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

1973 · 25 min

A gentle, nostalgic holiday visit with familiar friends, mixing quiet melancholy and simple warmth into a cozy, low-stakes comfort watch.

Tagline: Spend Thanksgiving with good ol' Charlie Brown!
Overview: Turkey, cranberries, pumpkin pie... and the Peanuts gang to share them with. This is going to be the greatest Thanksgiving ever! The fun begins when Peppermint Patty invites herself and her pals to Charlie Brown's house for a REALLY big turkey party. Good grief! All our hero can cook is cold cereal and maybe toast. Is Charlie Brown doomed? Not when Linus, Snoopy and Woodstock chip in to save the (Thanksgiving) Day. With such good friends, Charlie Brown - and all of us - have so many reasons to be thankful.
