It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Who the hell gives a kid rocks instead of candy? If I was Charlie Brown, I'd be flinging those rocks back through the house windows.

It's called filler, Charlie Brown!

The most sincere of all the Halloween specials. Poor Linus.

It's definitely super cute and I enjoyed most of it, but those WWI sequences totally lost me; did not care for those one bit. But yeah, it's cute. Had never seen it in my life, btw, so this was my first time watching it.

The droll and deadpan Peanuts humor hasn't aged a day, and in fact is probably more fashionable now than it was then.

"And what did You get Charlie Brown? - I got a rock." - that tells you everything about the character. Funny and charming is what this short is. I just wished I saw this back in my childhood (maybe my interest in jazz music would've been triggered much earlier).

All the houses throw poor Charlie rocks instead of candy. That is depressing.

Holy pumpkins, Charlie Brown. This was made in 1966!? Three thumbs up to Mr. Schulz for creating something so timeless.

It's hard to believe this came out in the mid 60's. If you watch any other cartoon, or movie or television show, its going to feel more dated than this. It's because the stories are simple, don't rely on current events, fads or anything else. Simple childhood tales being told. That's the real beauty.

Let's see, a great pumpkin, a tree-eating kite, a World War I flying ace dog (who flew his doghouse). Yeah. Charles Schulz must have done some wicked drugs in his days.

It's a mediocre movie Charlie Brown. Miserably paced and badly animated, this relies entirely on the audience being familiar with the characters and anticipating the predictable gags. I'll admit I liked bits and pieces but overall it wasn't worth it.

Linus, you fuck-up.

I watch it every Halloween

Another great film, Charlie Brown. "I got a rock." lol

very funny how charlie kept getting rocks instead of candy.

Only good if you're the same age as the Peanuts gang. Otherwise for blockheads only

Highly enjoyable classic.

Childhood fav. Infinite amount of rewatches

IF MY WIFE MAKES ME WATCH THIS ONE MORE HALLOWEEN I’LL FUCKING KILL MYSELF. I GET IT IT’S A CHILDHOOD TRADITION. WELL GUESS WHAT YOU’RE NOT A CHILD ANYMORE. AT LEAST I HOPE NOT WE’VE BEEN BANGING FOR ELEVEN YEARS I DON’T NEED CHRIS HANSEN KNOCKING ON MY FUCKING DOOR

Charlie Brown movies don't really do much for adult me. I know that's a hot take, but I just...am not as drawn to these little characters, charmingly animated as they are, the way I used to be. They're kind of all terrible people in some way or another. In the Christmas special, this is somewhat addressed, but it's not here. Here the only arc of the narrative is that having childlike optimism gets you nothing but shattered dreams and no girlfriend. Realistic? Maybe. But not what I want to hear.

I have a matching great pumpkin mug

The plot + writing - 10 The acting - 9 The entertainment value - 10 The look - 9

My first proper encounter with the PEANUTS universe - what is interesting (and a bit off-putting) is how unpleasantly down-beat and miserable everyone seems - almost THE ADDAMS FAMILY if the Addams' weren't in on the joke. The iconically low-grade, grimy animation quality doesn't help matters either. As it is, it's a short made for kids so its fairly painless, if ultimately a bit inconsequential.

Classic Kid's halloween film and still great for adults too.

I don't understand the charm of Charlie Brown. There is nothing funny here nor is very entertaining.

Rewatch. There are better movies, but I'm hard-pressed to find one that fits the mold of an annual Halloween tradition. I know everything that's going to happen but it still fills me with joy. Charlie Brown's earnestness doesn't get old. Fav scenes: Sally freaking out at Linus for wasting her Halloween; Lucy getting up in the middle of the night to tuck Linus into bed which shows there's goodness in her.

Nostalgia rating. Still watch it every year.

In the Peanuts universe, Halloween is the only day of the year where one of the kids is a bigger fool than Charlie Brown. And all he got is rocks.

Charming.

Snoopy rules

Yes.

Needs more Snoopy.

"I got a rock"

Pretty much what Criminal5 said.

There's a metaphor about Linus and the Great Pumpkin here, gee wiz I guess I'll never know what it means! Wink, wink...

One of my favorite of the Charlie Brown bunch.

I haven't seen this in a long time but I know I like it.

Eu assisti uma versão dublada no youtube muito estranha em que o dia das bruxas virou dia de todos os santos e que o Charlie Brown tinha a voz do Chaves.
