Snoopy, Come Home Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Mira8 Dear Lord kill it with fire. I remember enjoying Peanuts cartoons and comics as a child. So I got this for my nephew. I was horrified as these memories came flooding back to me. THIS IS SO DEPRESSING! In what ways is it depressing...well let me see. The plot line is depressing. The songs are depressing. The characters for the most part are mean and shallow...and depressing. I don't know what else I can say without providing spoilers. I mean, yeah, it does *kinda* have a happy ending but it will still leave you feeling like a shallow, wrecked hunk of humanity.Don't get this for your kids, your adults, anyone. Just avoid. Trust me - should come with a warning label.
Marlou Madrio This is a Great Movie which I got to see in 1990 from a Laser disc we rented.This also gives us an idea about the origins of Snoopy and his original owner Leila.The soundtrack is also great.I watched this movie with my niece and nephew who enjoyed it much as I did back then.I liked the part when Charlie Brown said "It took that rock 5,000 years to come to shore, now your putting it back".This is a movie which can be enjoyed by the family.It takes me to an earlier time of innocence.I wish things were a lot simpler now as it was then.
S Bradford This melancholy entry in the Peanuts quadrilogy stands out among the four, simply because of the difference in tone from the other entries. "Race for Your Life" is much lighter in tone, while "Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown" is more shallow. "Snoopy, Come Home" is the most memorable because of its unusual depth, as well as the bittersweet themes that it touches on: friendship; loyalty; and partings of the way.The plot, in a nutshell: Snoopy's former owner is sick, and calls him to her side. Snoopy makes a cross-country journey, and is then torn between staying with his former owner, who needs him, and returning to the place he considers home.Though the animation is still fairly simple here, it's a notch above the usual Peanuts movies and specials - check out the beautiful backgrounds of the beach scenes, or the wonderful palettes displayed as Snoopy and Woodstock travel at sunset. Really striking, and different from what we usually see in the Peanuts stories.The real mixed bag here is the music. This was the first Peanuts project that did not features a score by the brilliant Vince Guaraldi. Instead, the Sherman brothers of Disney fame provide the songs, several of which are sung by the characters (in contrast to Guaraldi's usual instrumentals). Some of these songs are quite good, like Fundamentalfriendependability, the song sung by a girl who captures Snoopy when he is en route. Others, like Snoopy and Woodstock's "Me and You" theme, are pure early 70s (think The Association) and unfortunately date the movie.The voice work is generally good, unlike the more recent Peanuts entries where sounding somewhat like the original voices doesn't seem to be a prerequisite. Stephen Shea as Linus sounds almost exactly like older brother Chris, the original, definitive Linus who grew out of the role. The one weak voice is Charlie himself, whose voice is different enough from his predecessors to be distracting.But these are nitpicks. The strength and depth of the story itself is more than enough to make up for the few weaknesses. For whatever reason, this is rerun less than the later two Peanuts movies, so seek it out on DVD - you won't be disappointed. And if you're softhearted, be sure to have a handkerchief handy.
happipuppi13 As a kid,I watched "Snoopy,Come Home" on CBS every time it was on. Each year that it was on,I understood a little more about the storyline than the last time before. To very briefly summarize,Charlie Brown has gotten fed up with Snoopy's ongoing shenanigans and Snoopy feels rejected by his owner (whom he refers to in the comic strips as "that round -headed kid".)This sets him off on a quest to find his previous owner Lila,which comes about after Lila writes to Snoopy from the hospital,asking him to visit her.I'm guessing also Snoopy's thinking she will appreciate him more than Charlie. I wouldn't have admitted it when I was younger but the scenes between Lila & Snoopy plus Charlie & The kids saying good-bye at Snoopy's farewell party did make me sad. I never forgot the songs from this,"Snoopy,Come Home","No Dogs Allowed","It Changes" and of course "Me and You (A Two Man Crew"). I occasionally find myself whistling the latter song from time to time. Which just shows how strong and wonderful this animated film was.As for the ending,I think that not only are the kids glad Snoopy (and Woodstock) returned,I think Snoopy's glad too. ....but maybe he appreciates the friends he has in the Peanuts gang a lot more now. As for his asking for his things back,well,that's the way Snoopy "always" is! He's kinda smug sometimes,I give you that.10 stars,for this and all Charles Schulz brought to us through these characters. I really miss the Peanuts strip on Sundays. (END)
