A gentle, bittersweet animated ramble through childhood defeats and small hopes, with quiet humour and melancholy.

Tagline
Charlie Brown and the Peanuts Gang in their First Movie!
Overview
Poor Charlie Brown. He can't fly a kite, and he always loses in baseball. Having his faults projected onto a screen by Lucy doesn't help him much either. Against the sage advice and taunting of the girls in his class, he volunteers for the class spelling bee.
