Critic Reviews for A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

All Critics (6) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (6)

Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang are always the right medicine for any and every holiday.

Witnessing the principle in action last night inspired some ready-made nostalgia and some ritualized pleasure. It affirmed the conviction that Charlie Brown is not just a good man, but a beautiful loser.

The Great Pumpkin may be infinitely memorable, but the Thanksgiving special has a better story and themes more meaningful for the holiday it is celebrating.

The third in the great trilogy of year-end "Charlie Brown" half-hour holiday specials, this one is just as inspired, with its makeshift dinner of toast, popcorn, pretzels and jelly beans.

...pleasant enough and clearly in the Peanuts tradition. However, it doesn't quite match the poignancy of the Christmas or Halloween specials.

Classic turkey-day special for young and old.

Audience Reviews for A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

Nov 18, 2013

A fun annual short film that is very popularly played around Thanksgiving each year and one most families watch together each year. Nothing spectacular but a fun short watch for the kids and families together.

Probably the weakest, but still wonderful!
