no spoiler in this review . but there be nothing to really spoil . it be valentine day and a day i always hate live through and and i just finish watch the new charlie brown tv special . it be the first peanut television special since 1993 and and i be interested to see if it would be any good . the ninety weren not too kind to anyone that like or use to like peanut . the big tv station start to crack down on it cartoon special like peanut and garfield and and the success that the sixty and seventy and and eighty bring it be stop cold and with only the traditional christmas special be show ( which i do not think be as good a people claim when compare to some of the other special ) . the last special for television and ` youre in the super bowl and charlie brown and be absolutely the most wretched special ever make . the strip itself be also go south . charles schultz and i believe and should have quit ten year ago . i would read the strip in the paper and wonder where all the funny stuff go . now and two year and two day after schultz death and a new cartoon be make . i find it odd that they make a valentine day special and since there already be one and a good one and back in 1975. but i decide to watch with an open mind . but i couldn not believe how bad this turn out to be and and it be with a heavy heart that i type this review . what it all really turn out to be be a whole bunch of short sketch with various member of the peanut gang do different thing lead up to valentine day . scene after scene and joke after joke and flop like a dead fish . you do not have to be a kid to like a peanut cartoon and so i do not think i be be unfair call this horribly unfunny . i do not find any of this amusing . part of the problem be that there be so much go on at once that you have trouble follow it all . character be off do their own thing and and bill melendez switch scene every twenty second and and very few of the ubplots be resolve . the main story involve the tired old plot of charlie brown have difficulty ask the little red haired girl out . most of the scene involve charlie brown complain to himself or linus how he can not do it and how he be not tough and how she doesn not know he exist and etc . he do something different in each segment and so there be no real plot movement and no story structure at all and which completely kill the experience of enjoyment . what be the point of the marcie and peppermint patty segment . or the lucy and schroeder scene . or any of the scene and for that matter . when they finally get to the scene involve the valentine day dance and nothing happens and it be cut off after less than three minute there . the final scene also doesn not explain itself . i be not sure what it be imply and really and but it look like a desperate attempt to throw in a happy end when the script have paint them into a corner melendez couldn not get out of . there be other aspect i wasn not impress with and too . the usually reliable bill melendez be really sleep on the job here . there be a scene early on where charlie brown and lucy be sit and lean against a tree and but their head overlap the tree trunk . this might be excusable have the special be funny . the same can not be say for a goof up at the dance and when you see franklin in the background and but he have dirt mark all over his head like pigpen and who make his own cameo a few moment later . how do that slip by . bad of all and i think and be the voice cast . it isn not that they be poor choice and though voice in past special easily top them and it be just that they do not say thing right . many time the cast shout their line out when a character should be talk normally while other time a character plainly talk when the animate body movement suggest they should be shout . and many of the voice be stiff and like the vocal actor do not even get a practice take . i be shock that this be as poor a it be and particularly the lack of structure . if they make another peanut special and i sure hope it come out good than this . i wouldn not call this the bad and a nothing could be bad than the super bowl special and but it rank up there with the bad . even ` flashbeagle could be forgive . this can not . i would suggest that you skip this one and look for another . there be over thirty peanut special in existence . so why can not the big station just show some of the old and rare one again so we can remember what it be like when the peanut be terrific . zantara score represent 2 .
