From the studio: Charlie Brown’s hilarious and heartbreaking attempts to meet his beloved Little Red-Haired Girl and other endearing adventures are featured on Happiness is…Peanuts™: Friends Forever, the latest Peanuts DVD release from Warner Home Video (WHV). Available in stores December 27, 2011, Friends Forever is the newest installment of the Happiness is…Peanuts™ collection, a series of favorite Peanuts television programs compiled together on DVD. Happiness is…Peanuts™: Friends Forever, pairs TV special You’re in Love, Charlie Brown, with an episode from The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show on one disc.


Charlie Brown has his heart set on meeting the Little Red-Haired Girl on You’re in Love, Charlie Brown, the 1968 Emmy® nominated television special. School is about to let out for summer but all Charlie Brown can think of is how to meet the Little Red-Haired Girl. All his attempts end in embarrassments. He writes her a love note but winds up accidentally reading it out loud to his class. When she tries to approach him during the lunch break, he panics and pulls his lunch bag over his head. He gets up really early one morning in hopes of catching her at her bus stop but winds up falling asleep and misses the bus. Will it be a summer of heartbreak for Charlie Brown or will he manage to connect with the Little Red-Haired Girl before school lets out?

• Happiness is…Peanuts™: Friends Forever, also includes an episode from The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show, featuring skits based on Peanuts strips created by Charles M. Schulz. 
• Kite Eating Tree – Charlie Brown visits Lucy’s psychiatry booth for advice on fighting the kite-eating tree. 
• Sally – Pretending to be a WWI Flying Ace, Snoopy steals Sally’s report for school. 
• Camp – Charlie Brown is sent home from camp for being a “troublemaker.” Peppermint Patty tells Linus that she cried when she saw him kiss the Little-Red Haired girl. 
• Lucy Loves Schroeder – Lucy puts Schroeder’s piano in the washer and dryer after she breaks up with him. 
• Scared Snoopy – Snoopy sees Lucy at her psychiatry booth because he’s been hearing noises at night but later refuses to pay his bill.

Mary Ellen Thomas, WHV Executive Marketing Director of Family and Animation Franchise said, “Although most everyone can relate to Charlie Brown and his unrequited love for the Little Red-Haired Girl, Happiness is…Peanuts™: Friends Forever reminds us that love comes in many forms. From the fondness and affection we have for our friends to the bond we share with family, it’s something to be celebrated and cherished.”

My take:  I may have mentioned before that my husband calls me his "little red-headed girl."  He even had that inscribed on a ring he gave me for our 10th wedding anniversary.  Of course, I call him Charlie Brown.  So ANYTIME a new Peanuts DVD comes out, I'm all over it.  My kids aren't quite at my level of, um, obsession, but they do enjoy watching these DVDs with me.  This is, of course, one of my favorites, as it includes an entire episode about Charlie Brown and his pursuit of the Little Red Headed Girl.  Of course, being Charlie Brown, every attempt of his to make contact goes awry.  There are several other "skits" on the DVD, with all our favorite characters from the comic strip, but my only complaint would be how short this DVD is.  Seems like I blinked and it was all over.  But if you are a PEANUTS fan, this is a must have for you anyway.  xoxoxo Love you, Charlie Brown!
