It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)

                    It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

NETFLIX SYNOPSIS:  As Halloween approaches, Charlie Brown receives a long-awaited invitation to a Halloween costume party. Linus eagerly awaits the arrival of the Great Pumpkin — hoping it will finally make its big appearance. And let’s not forget Snoopy, who plans to augur in Halloween by donning his World War I goggles and scarf and battling his archenemy, the Red Baron, in the skies over France!

REVIEW:  It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown — Although many of us remember it fondly as “the one where Snoopy gets his doghouse shot down over France,” this Charlie Brown holiday special is actually pretty thin, with some Halloween scenes tied thinly together around Linus’ Great Pumpkin obsession.  The disc also comes with “You’re Not Elected, Charlie Brown” featuring everyone’s favorite teacher.  All together now: “mwah, mwah-MWAH mwah mwah!”
