one of charlie brown’s best - known lines was “my anxieties have anxieties. ”
race for your life was marketed as a film that was not based on a previous story, comic or special. true to a point; many of schulz’s comic strip gags are woven into the proceedings and the camp premise had been done—albeit differently—in “it was a short summer, charlie brown” .
i grew up watching race for your life charlie brown. it was always one of my favourites. i' ve looked in the past and it wasn' t available except on vhs 😳. i was glad to finally find it on dvd. my 10 year old son loves it .

ive never heard of this particular charlie brown film. “charlie brown” that was like the default nickname for kids growing up. haha. i still call people that when they act tough lol. eehh chalie brown, calm down… before i beat that ass. lol. cheers !
but you’re right that a lot of those tv shows were based on the comic strip in the beginning, and then we went in other directions. the whole race for your life, charlie brown had nothing to do with the comic strip. it had a bigger theme where we could get in the outdoors and have some fun with it .

lee mendelson: yeah, of course he passed away after our first 15 shows. then we were lucky to have other people who were unheralded come along. ed bogas did the music for race for your life, charlie brown, and a bunch of our specials, and then david benoit took over for the last 30 years for a bunch of our specials. they kept the great standards of music. so i guess the most unheralded would be ed bogas and david benoit .

the music in race for your life—as well as in subsequent tv specials—is by the prolific ed bogas, who was up to the unenviable task of following guaraldi as the peanuts house composer / conductor. with judy munsen, desiree goyette and mark evanier, he also wrote music and lyrics for countless garfield cartoons. he made the peanuts music his own, rather than cloning guaraldi. in race for your life, there are also two songs performed off camera by singer / guitarist larry finlayson, though unfortunately there was no soundtrack lp, story album or read - along record based on the film .

why it’s no. 1: here it is, folks: your perfect peanuts film. the river rafting competition lends race for your life the strong narrative spine that the other films lack and gives each of the major players their turn in the spotlight. and like any good underdog sports movie — think hoosiers or cool runnings — it works in plenty of opportunities to cheer on the heroes and hiss at the villains .

the 1965 documentary charlie brown & charles schulz was the start of a collaboration between the two men that lasted 30 years, which soon added animator bill melendez and composer vince guaraldi to produce a charlie brown christmas. the special was not well - received by the executives at cbs, but audiences reaction was positive enough to earn the special an emmy and a peabody award and launch a collaboration that would create more than 40 half - hour tv specials, an animated tv series, and four theatrical movies. the third of those movies, race for your life, charlie brown, was just released by paramount home video. in conjunction with that release, we were able to chat with lee mendelson via telephone, just after winning the winsor mccay award at the 42nd annual annie awards .

mission (the command module was called charlie brown). in 1968 and 1972, snoopy was a write - in candidate for president of the united states. plush stuffed snoopys became popular. (i had one .) by 1975, snoopy had replaced charlie brown as the center of the strip. he cut a swath through the world. for instance, in parts of europe
back when race for your life was broadcast on cable, it had the muddiest sound quality this side of the thunderbird drive - in in fort lauderdale. i don’t recall the network broadcasts being much better, but i didn’t tune into every one. suffice it to say the sound i s crisper and clearer on this dvd in comparison to the previous lesser presentations .

the third peanuts feature, race for your life may have been overshadowed by 1977’s summer megahit, star wars. it didn’t stay in theaters long enough for even some of the diehard peanuts fans to see it. however, over almost 40 years since, it became a staple of hbo and other cable outlets, with endless broadcasts all the way up to 2013 on abc family. it was available on video tape and laserdisc .
if somebody said to me today, for whatever reason, you can never drink alcohol again for the rest of your life, i wouldn’t be upset. i would just say, ‘ok, fine’. but if they said you could never have a piece of cake or chocolate ever again, i probably would cry .

for the first event of the decathlon, charlie brown comes in last place, but patty tells him he did well anyway. for the rest of the events for that day, all the players did well on some events, and not so well on others, with charlie brown being able to have a good finish on a couple. at the end of the first day, freddie and marcie are tied in first. lucy says that she figured charlie brown would be his typical blockhead self, but that is not so due to his second place status. the masked marvel is currently dead last .

why it’s no. 2: in its visual and narrative simplicity, a boy named charlie brown remains the most faithful cinematic version of schulz’s comic strip. it’s also relentlessly mean to charlie brown in a way that the later films — up to and including the peanuts movie — are scared to be. but that’s in keeping with the early years of peanuts, which never sought to sugarcoat the random cruelty of other children, or life itself for that matter. the comedy comes from watching good ol’ charlie brown soldier on in the face of countless challenges, knowing that it’s going to get worse before it gets better .
the storyline isn’t any tighter than it was in the other peanuts features, but that’s not why we watch them. it’s really about spending time with these characters, following them wherever they meander. race for your life has a bit more action and adventure than the average peanuts entry—an aspect that the original advertising stressed. the tv spot showed little more than the characters screaming through apparent dangers .
this movie is just one of the best ever! as one of the other guy who' s rated this, im also a teenager, ima huge snoopy fan aswell! race for your life is just so funny i really cannot explain it, it' s seriously a must see! charlie brown and the gang goto camp only to find the opposite team are bad guys tryin to cheat on all the games they have. snoopy and woodstock have their own little advenature ofcourse. this movie really is a great film to watch time and time again !
creative closing credits: a very psychedelic one as charlie brown has to hitch a ride with snoopy on his motorcycle after missing the camp bus (again) .
charlie brown, whose very character depended on his wishes being stymied, developed what the actor alec baldwin, in one of the fantagraphics introductions, calls a kind of “trudging, jimmy stewart–like decency and predictability. ” the charlie brown way was to keep on keeping on, standing with a tangled kite or a losing baseball team day after day. michaelis, schulz’s biographer, locates the essence of charlie brown—and peanuts itself—in a 1954 strip in which charlie brown visits shermy and watches as he “plays with a model train set whose tracks and junctions and crossings spread … elaborately far and wide in shermy’s family’s living room. ” after a while ,
wtf? ! why is this guy in the comments berating autistic people? lol what an asshole! thanks for finally doing a charlie brown video james. i used to love these movies when i was a kid
i' ve said here before that i don' t like to see adults in charlie brown cartoons. but one presumes that there is some sort of adult supervision at camp remote. charlie brown and the others find themselves in deadly scenarios more than once. how could anyone allow the kids to compete in such a dangerous race? and how could adults let the bullies' win by cheating over and over again? in this regard ,

meanwhile, charlie brown gets chased out of the yard, and decides to wait, completely unaware of what linus is doing inside. snoopy scares off the cat, and goes into mary jo' s house. the two eventually leave, and ignore charlie brown. eventually, linus leaves her house, and the cat purrs in front of him, reformed. when charlie brown realizes he just stole his potential girl friend, he gets very upset, and runs off screaming in disbelief .

before snoopy had his signature doghouse, he was an emotional creature. although he didn’t speak (he expressed himself in thought balloons), he was very connected to all the other characters. in one 1958 strip, for instance, linus and charlie brown are talking in the background, and snoopy comes dancing by. linus says to charlie brown, “my gramma says that we live in a veil of tears. ” charlie brown answers: “she’s right … this is a sad world. ” snoopy still goes on dancing. by the third frame, though, when charlie brown says, “this is a world filled with sorrow, ” snoopy’s dance slows and his face begins to fall. by the last frame, he is down on the ground—far more devastated than linus or charlie brown, who are shown chatting off in the distance, “sorrow, sadness and despair … grief, agony and woe …”

linus escapes the cat, and finds another entrance to the house (while charlie brown is still being chased). linus knocks on the door, and the long sought after girl named mary jo answers. when he discovers she owns a security blanket, linus falls for her right away, and forgets that the only reason he found her was to help charlie brown. mary jo invites linus in .
charlie brown and linus are having a lazy day at home. linus is occupied with a book and charlie brown is watching the super bowl on tv. suddenly he sees an off - screen girl in the audience in a honey shot. he sees her again and is crushed when the games ends, feeling he will never see her again. he tells linus that he cannot go through his life knowing some where out there there is a girl that was meant for him and that he will never get to meet her .
token minority: franklin. he has few lines in the movie before the race and isn' t on the cover of the recent artwork for the movie since he basically gets forgotten about .
vince guaraldi had passed away roughly a month before the “it’s arbor day, charlie brown” special was broadcast. granted, even guaraldi had shaken things up musically in such specials as the underappreciated “play it again, charlie brown, ” which was the first time he broke away from the more familiar guaraldi trio (and sometimes john scott trotter) sound .
charlie brown' s grunting as he tries to lift the barbell is the same grunting daffy duck made in the 1965 warner bros. cartoon tease for two when daffy tries lifting a rock. this grunting was supplied by mel blanc .
charlie brown is too nervous to ask for the list of names, so he asks linus to do it. linus is given a list of names addresses and phone numbers of those who were sitting in that row of seats. linus reports back to charlie brown, and the two set out to find the girl. meanwhile, snoopy and woodstock get a drink from the water fountain, and nearly drown in it .
i catch this film on tv every now and again and, at almost 40 years old, i still get teared up when snoopy loses woodstock and starts searching and howling for him. it’s one of my all time favorite movies as a child along with bon voyage charlie brown and just about every other charlie brown film. i learned a lot watching them in my youth and feel they’re one of the reasons i have so much compassion for the hard working, yet struggling type .
upon arriving, charlie brown is soon tormented by a trio of bullies. camp seems to be divided into groups of four. the bullies' full - fledged fourth member is a prickly orange cat with a spiky collar who quickly puts snoopy in his place. the boys (charlie brown, linus, franklin, and schroeder) and the girls (peppermint patty ,
charlie brown and peppermint patty' s teams are doing well, but not for long. the bullies move a sign at a fork in the river that leads the kids into a blasting range! thankfully, snoopy is able to clear their path .
road sign reversal: the bullies do this during the raft race to lure the other kids into a river channel where construction blasting is scheduled .
plot: a trip to camp becomes a battle for the ages when the peanuts crew splits into male and female teams to compete in a river rafting race against a gang of bullies and their obnoxious cat .
although schulz denied any strict identification with charlie brown (who was actually named for one of schulz’s friends at the correspondence school in minneapolis where schulz learned and taught drawing), many readers assumed they were one and the same. more important for the strip’s success, readers saw themselves in charlie brown, even if they didn’t want to. “i aspired to linus - ness; to be wise and kind and highly skilled at making gigantic structures out of playing cards, ” the children’s - book author mo willems notes in one of the essays in the fantagraphics series. but, he continues, “i knew, deep down, that i was charlie brown. i suspect we all did. ”
@ james, also, don’t be regretful about using the word “crap” flippantly. that’s the avgn in you talking from deep within your soul .

drink is not a reward for me. for me a reward is chocolate. i do like going out for a few drinks with my friends and letting my hair down, but equally i have become so used to not drinking on nights out that i can honestly say i wouldn’t miss it in my life in the slightest .
charlie brown meets linus at the wall, and they discuss the previous day. linus then checks his watch, and realizes he has to go, because he was invited to mary jo' s house for a barbeque. charlie brown pulls out a book, and reads a couple of old sayings about love. he then says
i can' t stand it
, sighs, and decides that he and mary jo were never meant to be .
i don’t use drinking as a reward. i love to have fun with friends when the occasion calls for it, but i enjoy it sensibly and never let it affect the rest of my life .
once i was off the drink for 12 years and i was so bored i went back on it. i’m very sociable by nature. i like to meet and chat to new people. i can’t to that at home sitting by the fireplace. so for socialising, drinking is an important part of my life, but drink is not the be - all and end - all of my life .
their camp life is much like boot camp sans drill instructor, with very early morning exercise followed by a chow line and then activities culminating with the river race with some pretty treacherous obstacles. peppermint patty is in charge of the girls' raft and has the drive to be leader, though every little decision is met with a vote, no matter how petty. charlie brown heads the boys' raft and slowly but surely finds he must take leadership if either team is going to win .
