All the Peanuts episodes from the 1960s remastered all in one set. Timed to release around anniversary of Woodstock Festival where Woodstock will be the mascot.Charles Schulz’s award-winning “Peanuts” comics and animated television specials are perennial favorites of adults and children alike. What is it that makes a story about a morose young boy struggling with low self-esteem and social ineptness so timelessly appealing? Perhaps it’s the universality of his struggle or Schulz’s social commentary that sometimes proved years ahead of its time–or maybe “Peanuts” is just plain great animated entertainment. Regardless of why “Peanuts” remains so popular today, the 1960s gave birth to current classics A Charlie Brown Christmas and It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown as well as four other works, with each network debut proving a highly anticipated television event. This two-disc compilation features all six 1960s specials, remastered with strikingly bright colors and crisp, clear pictures for a viewing experience that’s simply great.
Probably the best-known Peanuts special, the Emmy-award-winning A Charlie Brown Christmas follows a despondent Charlie Brown through the Christmas season as he tries to get involved and figure out the true meaning of Christmas. The Emmy-nominated It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown chronicles Charlie Brown’s emotional ups and downs as he goes trick-or-treating, attends a Halloween party, and ponders his friend Linus’s unfailing belief in the existence of the Great Pumpkin. The lesser-known, but highly engaging special Charlie Brown’s All-Stars finds Charlie Brown’s losing baseball team excited about a sponsorship offer that will provide them with uniforms and entrance into a real league. Problem is, manager Charlie Brown would be forced to cut Snoopy and the girls from the team in order to comply with league rules–a step he’s just not willing to take. You’re in Love, Charlie Brown finds Charlie Brown infatuated with the Little Red-Haired Girl and frustrated with his inability to overcome his shyness and speak to her. He’s Your Dog, Charlie Brown features an incorrigible Snoopy who, rather than returning to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm for a refresher course in obedience, moves in with Peppermint Patty only to find himself overworked and unhappy. While Snoopy is gone, Charlie Brown and the gang realize just how important a role Snoopy plays in their daily lives. It Was a Short Summer is Charlie Brown’s reflection on what he did at camp over summer vacation. A 38-minute bonus feature about “”Linus and Lucy”" composer Vince Guaraldi delves into his music and philosophy, detailing the evolution of his music over the years and the integral part that it played in the “Peanuts” television specials. Whether reliving childhood memories or creating a whole new set with children or grandchildren, this classic “Peanuts” collection is perfect for sharing. –Tami Horiuchi

Now don’t hate me for saying this, even I hate myself for saying this but it has to be said. I love Peanuts a lot and I also think the TV shows are great too but I don’t really care for the ones in the 1960s. Let me explain.
First in A Charlie Brown Christmas the first special that they did, it was OK but I do feel bad for Charlie Brown. Also I have it on DVD so I don’t really want to get it again but it is a classic but I would give it a B+. Then in Charlie Brown All Stars it was OK but again I feel bad for Charlie Brown. I would give this a B+. Then there’s It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, I do like it but I already have it on DVD. I would give this a A-.
Then there’s You’re in Love, Charlie Brown, it was OK but again I feel bad for Charlie Brown I mean everyone laughed at him at he got in trouble on the last day of school. I would give this a B+. In He’s Your Dog, Charlie Brown, Snoopy was not that nice to Peppermint Patty and later she’s mean to him. At first I think he deserves it but than I feel sorry for him. I would give this a C-.
Lastly in It Was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown, I was upset that it did not have a good ending. Also in the show we can see Violet, Patty, Fredia, and Shermy when they were pretty much out of the comic strip at that time. I would give this a C-.
I do think that the 1970s specials were much better. But I would still say for Peanuts fans if you don’t mind all this stuff then get the DVD. I don’t care if anyone finds this review helpful or not I just had to say what was on my mind.

This DVD is perfect for families with youngsters. Brought me back to my childhood and all of those special holiday times in an instant. I love the fact that the characters play outside and have a real life. There are so many animated shows for kids that are fantastic and don’t display the different types of social interaction that occurs in real life. It’s not overstimulating either. I am a huge Peanuts fan!
