    A genius musical that I always love watching.
  • January 14, 2009
    This was a decently cute movie and all but there just wasn't enough Charlie Brown and co. in it to completely pull me in. Snoopy IS adorable but I don't want to watch him traipsing around town for an hour doing nothing but laughing/crying. I think I prefer Linus's soliloquys and ... read moreCharlie Brown's insecurities to anything else Peanuts can give me. The TV spots still remain the best out of the bunch.

    I'm familiar with this animated film title from childhood through a few scenes.... Snoopy, along with his feathered friend Woodstock, visits Lila at the hospital after receiving a letter from her.

While the "No Dogs Allowed" signs that Snoopy runs into are so annoying to me, they really are silly running gags. What a heartwarming film. :)

    I love this Peanuts movie, a touching movie. Snoopy, receives a letter from his previous owner, Lila, a girl who is sick and Snoopy wants to leave tive with here. Charlie Borwn and the gang are really saddened to see him leave. A very heart-warming movie.

    The Peanuts were a staple of my childhood and I loved all the feature films. Especially this one, starring Snoopy. It's such a cute and sentimental story. I also love the soundtrack, provided by none other than the Sherman Brothers (of Disney fame).

    Ok I know this is just a little weird for some one like a Punk Rocker to be a Christain and Love Snoopy but I just can't get enough of the both of them but it's more of Jesus I can't get Enough of him!!!

Where this film towers above the first one is in the music, written by Disney stalwarts Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman. Full Review

Snoopy Come Home was mostly a nostalgia trip for me, so I can't say how well it will play to new audiences, but I enjoyed looking at it again. Full Review
