Synopsis

Charlie Brown, Linus and the entire Peanuts gang are off on a lively Easter egg hunt. They suspect they've spotted the Easter Bunny … but the trouble is, he looks a lot like a certain beagle who's near and dear to Charlie Brown's heart. Is it truly the Easter Bunny, or is it just the irrepressible Snoopy playing a trick on the kids?

Angels_Review What can I say, I really like Charlie Brown Specials most of the time. This one is one of my favorites because I grew up with it as a child. It's jokes are actually rather good and are pretty much funny. In fact, the very first joke is with Marci and Peppermint Patty where Marci brings eggs over to color at Patty's house, but then starts frying them up when she gets there and as Patty is making the dye. It's cute, and though it may be a little off at times, you have to remember these are young kids who don't seem to have a adult around to help them.Again, as with almost every holiday in the peanuts world, Snoopy goes overboard and is the spokes character for the holiday. In this case, throwing Easter eggs to the children as he skipped and hoped around. I had to laugh at the ending part. Not going to spoil it for you though. Also, each joke follows the same lines as the first few shows in where we would get a small scene with an end joke and then jump to the next. Sometimes the joke will run for multiple scenes depending on what they can get out of it but nothing really feels as though they stretched it to long.The artwork really doesn't give me much to talk about because it's the same that we have had from the show, the characters looking as though they came straight from the comic pages. That alone makes it a treasure in my book plus the fact that this it's pretty much a timeless classic. It's one that may not get a full 5 stars out of 5, but it will be one that I would encourage people to watch.
Woodyanders Linus tries to convince the Peanuts gang that the Easter Beagle (a.k.a. Snoopy) will take care of everything on Easter Sunday. Meanwhile, Peppermint Patty has trouble painting eggs because Marcie keeps on cooking them (a hilarious running gag which is milked for maximum belly laughs right up until the conclusion) and, in a sweet and endearing subplot, Snoopy helps Woodstock find a better birdhouse replacement for his lackluster nest. Director Phil Roman and writer Charles M. Schulz ably craft a warm and witty little show that benefits greatly from a good-natured tone and an amusing sense of pleasant and inoffensive humor. The best, most inspired, and uproarious joke: A department store is already selling assorted Christmas items at substantial discount prices. Moreover, there's a brief, but delightfully charming sequence showing Snoppy happily dancing with a bunch of adorable bunny rabbits. Vince Guaraldi's sublimely funky'n'jazzy score keeps things bubbling along. A hugely enjoyable affair.
rebeljenn Like the Valentine's Day episode of Charlie Brown, the Easter special is a lot of fluff regarding the members of the Peanuts Gang. It's not nearly as good as the Halloween episode (which is seems to mimic) or the Christmas episode.In this episode, the Peanuts are getting ready for Easter, and Snoppy becomes the equivalent of the Easter Bunny. The episode is very mundane with a lot less to offer when compared to some of the previous Charlie Brown films.Not terribly good. I would recommend that you see the Christmas episode or the Halloween one. Only watch this if you really are a fan.
ultramatt2000-1 Let's see, error prone Marcie, crabby Lucy, wise Linus, helping Snoopy, and good old Charlie Brown. I like the part where the Easterbeagle (i.e. Snoopy) approaches and gives the eggs to the kids. I also like the part where Snoopy is at the store, and dances with Marcie and Peppermint Patty. Woodstock is funny. The music is cool. And Marcie keeps messing up on boiling eggs. Which makes Peppermint Patty say "AAAUGGHH!" This happens for about 4 or 5 times. Why not just kick her out of here or something and let her do it herself. Or better yet, explain that eggs should not be broken, toasted or roasted in the beginning. That way she would not go through all this mess. I bet a lot of you people went up into similar problems as Peppermint Patty went into. You had similar problems with your friends or family members (like your siblings or parents no offense). Some scenes got edited into, THE CHARLIE BROWN AND SNOOPY SHOW (1983-1985). If you like this one, you'll like IT'S ARBOR DAY CHARLIE BROWN (1976).
