the star and most affectionate character of charles m. schulz marvelous comic strip peanut ( which actually have evolve into so much more than that ) be charlie brown the classic american un success story . but apparently the most memorable character be the one whose use a the symbol of metlife represent charlie brown ubiquitous and enigmatic beagle snoopy . there be dozen of half hour animate special base off peanut and four feature length movie . the first one be a true masterpiece . a boy name charlie brown move and touch me in so many way that i go on to call it the best animated film i have ever see . the movie be about charlie brown . so it only make sense that for the next one that schulz and animation director bill melendez to focus on snoopy . now snoopy come home be not as good a the first movie and but it be memorable not because it complete the feeling of the peanuts world a the first movie do and but because it arguably the most saddening . in this movie and we come to discover that snoopy be not always charlie brown dog . previously and he belong to a little girl name lila ( voice by johanna baer ) . snoopy get word one day that she be hospitalize and team up with his clumsy avian sidekick woodstock and head off to visit her . after rendezvous with lila and snoopy them find himself feel he have to leave charlie brown and commit himself to his former owner . this be a very sad premise and snoopy come home and especially in it last half hour and turn out to be a very sad movie . i be eighteen year old and it still tug at my heartstrings and draw tear to my eye . and oddly enough and the brilliance of this movie and the way these scene be write by charles schulz and they way they be animate by melendez in his team make you admire these scene after the inevitable happy end ( that really no spoiler consider this be a kid movie ) . but the movie be not all sad tear jerking moment with the character cry their eye out . again and schulz installs into the screenplay his classic sense of humor that be write for adult but appeal to all age . the movie open up with a joke and proceeds to have many before it take a somber note . the lucy vs. snoopy box scene have deservedly go on to become a cult classic iconic scene because not only be it well animate and but it really funny . most of the movie focus on snoopy and woodstock and but there be some moment that revolve around the other character such a charlie brown and linus and lucy and and schroeder . and while i do wish there have be more impact in these scene and they do fulfill their purpose and complete the feeling of a peanuts world i guess you could say . now i do have my complaint . primarily and it concern the voice act . chad webber and i be afraid and be not quite the perfect actor to voice charlie brown . he just sound too soft and gentle . we prefer peter robbins voice and his imitator . sometimes i also think the actress who voice lucy have have too strident of voice and but robin kohn isn not strident enough and by far and pamelyn ferdin be still the best lucy voice actress . another thing i miss be the presence of a jazz score by vince guaraldi whose music to a boy name charlie brown be so wonderful . the song be also and i be afraid and not memorable . but in the end and my few gripe aside and i very much enjoy snoopy come home and i have find it a lot more fun than a lot of modern day movie and animate or otherwise if and ironically enough and because it make me feel very sad . it not as good a a boy name charlie brown and but it most certainly be enjoyable and a must see for peanut fan .
