Release date: December 4 1969.
Story: Charlie Brown can never get a break in life. His baseball team keep loosing, he can never managed to kick the ball cause Lucy Van Pelt keeps pulling it away at the last second, and has a lot of faults. But one day his friend Linus Van Pelt inspires him to enter the school's spelling bee contest. Charlie Brown decides to enter (despite the other kids saying that he will fail) and is surprisingly good at it. Until that is when he gets picked for the National Spelling Bee contest in New York City. Will he win? Watch the movie and find out.
My thoughts: This is the very first big screen appearance of the Peanut characters by Charles M. Schulz. They recycled a lot of the original comic strips in the first act but the main story starts shortly afterwards. Being a fan of Peanuts and have a huge collection of books of the strips, I think that this is a good film. This has some jokes in it that will make you laugh and will make you root for Charlie Brown all through out the spelling bee.
My score: Three stars.
