I've been a HUGE Fan of Charles M. Schulz since Kindergarden. I couldn't wait for the holidays to be able to watch the "Holiday" tv movies, (back before VHS, and DVD's) The makers of this movie did it right. Their love for the Peanuts came through... They did it right and captured the true spirit of the Peanuts in this new movie... Charles would have been proud.
