Editorial Review:

Product Description:
This classic and much-loved Peanuts story centers on the romantic yearnings of that eternally hapless hero Charlie Brown. As Valentine's Day approaches Lucy tries to get Schroeder to give her a card Sally chases after Linus and poor Charlie Brown dreams of getting just one valentine. Even Snoopy's mailbox is stuffed with those red heart-shaped cards--doesn't ANYONE love Charlie Brown?Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC: 883929005284 Manufacturer No: 1000036307

Amazon.com:
'Peanuts' creator Charles Schulz retired from the cartoonist's life early in 2000, and indeed left a few loose strings hanging among his chronically dissatisfied characters. He never did, for instance, cut Charlie Brown much slack in the romance department (or let him kick Lucy's football, for that matter). Sympathetic readers might have taken note of a story in the press just before Schulz said farewell, in which the inspiration for Charlie Brown's unrequited love interest--the never-seen, too-distant, 'little red-haired girl'--was identified as a woman who turned down a marriage proposal from Schultz a half-century ago. That bit of biographical detail now adds poignancy to Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown, a 1975 television special built upon years of Valentine's Day 'Peanuts' strips. This half-hour show finds Charlie Brown suffering, typically, the ignominy of receiving no hearts-and-flowers greetings while the rest of the gang, including Snoopy, spend their day sorting through piles of love notes. Worse, Schulz's famous sad sack can't get up the nerve to approach his unapproachable angel, though there may be--just may be--a glimmer of hope this time around. It may be Valentine's Day, but not much else is different in the 'Peanuts' neighborhood. --Tom Keogh

On the DVD
The 2008 remastered DVD has the two additional specials that were on the previous DVD, You're in Love, Charlie Brown (1967), in which our hero tries to meet the little red-haired girl, and It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown (1977), a vastly more complex production that has two focuses for CB: win the big football even though Lucy keeps pulling the ball away, and escort--and kiss--the little red-haired girl to the homecoming ball. New for 2008 is a 15-minute featurette on the theme of unrequited love in the 'Peanuts' world, with interviews of the Schulz family, Lee Mendelson, and others. --David Horiuchi
