Snoopy's Getting Married, Charlie Brown

This is my favorite Dr. Seuss special/short. The songs are excellent and the animation was outstanding. My favorite part was where the Cat gives a little language lesson.

The two kids in this story are left alone after their mother goes out. That's when the Cat comes in to try to entertain them. But the main plot is that the Cat needs to find his moss-covered three-handled family gradunza...whatever that is. Alan Sherman did a great job in that cartoon voicing the Cat.

There are other Dr. Seuss animated favorites which I recommend. There's the Lorax, the Grinch, and especially Dr. Seuss on the Loose.

Roughly 10 years after first appearing in the Peanuts daily comic strip, Snoopy's brother Spike finally makes his animated debut in this one.

Plot In a Nutshell: Snoopy announces his impending nuptials and the Peanuts gang scrambles to prepare for the ceremony, including welcoming his California-based brother to the festivities.

The main plot of this special is lifted from a series of strips Schulz wrote back in 1977. I guess he was running a little short on ideas. It opens with Snoopy acting as a guard dog for Peppermint Patty while her dad is away. When he's there, Snoopy meets and falls in love with a poodle named Genevieve, but she looks an awful lot like Fifi, the poodle who captured Snoopy's heart in "Life Is A Circus, CB." Anyway, the couple announces their wedding intentions and this serves as the catalyst for bringing Spike into the story, for he will act as Snoopy's 'best beagle' at the ceremony.

It was nice to finally see Spike on screen. Rerun, another rarely-seen character to this point, was mentioned as being tapped for the ring bearer, but he was not seen. Overall this was a solid if not spectacular Peanuts entry. However it was a welcome return to form after "It's Flashbeagle, CB" which wasn't so great imo. Worth a look.

7/10. Would I watch again (Y/N)?: Sure why not.
