Great Show

My youngest daughter loved this show and watched it over and over again because we bought it on video. I'm surprised it hasn't been put on DVD by now.

It is a show that deals with the sensitivity about a childhood illness and at the same time brings us some humorous moments with Snoopy. My daughtered loved the part where Snoopy unplugs Charlie Brown's light he's reading by to plug in his Christmas lights.

The most unrealistic part is when the girl has her full head of hair at the end. Nobody's hair grows back that fast after Chemo, but I think the message was is that her hair would grow back. Something the kids needed to know. Most kids like to have happy endings.

No, it wasn't perfect but in my opinion it was done well.

A Universal Classic

No other cartoonist who dare address subject matter as death can achieve such brilliance as Charles M. Schulz. One of the absolute best of the Peanuts TV movies, a beautiful piece that stays with you throughout the years.

Not Only Is This The Best Peanuts Special, This Is One Of The Best FILMS Ever Made

I Love this movie..... I mean I REALLY Love this movie! From the characters to the animation to the music and the emotional impact! I Lost my 3 grandfathers to cancer. One of them was a huge Peanuts fan. So this hit me right in the heart! Honestly this could be on the same level as a cinematic film like Inside Out or my Favorite Film of all time, The Polar Express! Yes that's how good this movie is! The only other peanuts project that could top this is The Peanuts Movie. Both are in my Top 10 Favorite Movies of all time! They are both perfect and this one in particular is a real emotional wreck! There were 2 moments that made me cry, 1 was when Janice talked about her leukemia and the 2nd was the ending, which was more of a "tears of joy" if you will. I also love the fact that she's got a positive mind set. I honestly have no flaws with this film, I didn't find Sally annoying at all, I thought Snoopy was funny as always and of course it has the amazing Peanuts heart!

Helps Younger Kids Learn About Cancer

A powerful special, Why, Charlie Brown, Why? was created by Charles M. Shultz as a primetime special with insight from the American Cancer Society, telling the tale of Linus' new friend, Janice Emmons, whom he finds out was sent to the hospital and has been diagnosed with leukemia, a type of cancer affecting her bone marrow. Linus goes through a lot in this special, as this affects him to the point where he even won't stand for his sister Lucy's usual antics of being a jerk to everyone.

Yeah, the special is a perfect way to teach kids about cancer, as it has a scene where Janice explains to Linus and Charlie Brown about how the doctors found out she has leukemia, as well as the scene where Linus not taking his sister's beef, which also involves telling her leukemia is not like the cold or flu. Also, good old Snoopy appears to help bring comic relief to balance out the depressing stuff.

It's Leukemia, Charlie Brown

It's one of those things that you think is too good to really exist. "Have you seen that Charlie Brown special where the chick gets cancer?" It's surreal, like if there were an episode of Sesame Street where Oscar the Grouch catches HIV from a dirty needle in his trash can. They missed a great opportunity for a funeral scene where they play the Charlie Brown theme on an organ, Linus has a black blanket, Snoopy dances in place really slow.

This is one of the Peanuts specials where Linus' security blanket is not seen or even mentioned.

Patzer
Linus moves from sitting in front of Janice and next to Charlie Brown, to sitting behind Charlie Brown, next to the window, and back.

Zitate
The Bully: [approaches Linus and Janice] Huh? Say, who's the kid with the pink hat? Pretty cute. Does it fly? It needs a propeller. Hey, maybe it'll fly without a propeller!
[he spins off Janice's hat to the snow and laughs to see Janice is bald due to chemotherapy]
The Bully: Hey, look at this! A baldy!
Linus van Pelt: [as Janice cries, furiously] You blockhead! What's the matter with you?
The Bully: What's the matter with me? What's the matter with her? She's bald! She's got no hair!
[laughs]
Linus van Pelt: [angrily takes him by the jacket] Janice has got leukemia, cementhead! That's cancer! Have you ever heard of cancer? She's been in the hospital and she's had chemotherapy to help her get better, and it makes her hair fall out! Does that make you happy? Would you like to go through what she's gone through? Think about it!
[releases him]
Linus van Pelt: Or don't you ever think about anything!
[Linus comforts Janice and picks up their books off the snow]
The Bully: [hands back Janice's cap] I'm sorry.
[Linus takes the cap, gives it to Janice, and both Linus and Janice leave]
The Bully: [smiles in sympathy] Hey, I like your cap!

Crazy Credits
Instead of rolling over stills from the special as usual, the credits roll over a black screen. In the last few seconds, Janice is heard laughing happily and her pink cap falls into the frame.
