Charlie Brown's All Stars!

Charlie Brown's baseball team is horrible and his whole team blames him. It's the start of a new season. After another embarrassing loss, everybody quits to do something fun for the summer. Hardware store owner Mr. Hennessey offers to sponsor the baseball team. The team reunites for the promise of uniforms. Hennessey then withdraws since girls and dog are forbidden in the league. Charlie Brown keeps the secret to himself. The team does a lot better but Charlie Brown's bonehead play loses the game. Everybody blames him until Linus reveals the secret. The team makes a manager's uniform for Charlie Brown out of Linus' blanket.

This takes a large section of the Peanuts world and sets it for the second TV special after "A Charlie Brown Christmas". It suffers by comparison. It tries to have a lesson but it doesn't work as well. The message is a little muddled. It also doesn't have anything iconic like the Charlie Brown tree or The Great Pumpkin. It's fine for loser Charlie but it needs to say something more beautiful about losing.

The second Peanuts TV special is a baseball-themed one. Charlie Brown sucks at baseball and his team, frustrated with "that old blockhead" for losing them the first game of the season, quits. Shortly after Charlie finds out the team has the chance to join the Little League, with a sponsor who will pay for new uniforms and everything. Everyone's excited and eager to play again, even with sucky Charlie Brown. But then the news is handed down to Chuck that the team can't have the girls or Snoopy on it. So he struggles with how to tell them, knowing they will rip him a new one. Lots of funny lines in this one but also lots of heart. Love the ending.

'Charlie Brown's All Stars!' is that classic Peanuts fun you would see in the comics. It was the second TV special after 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' (1965), and it certainly helped carry those recognizable Peanuts characters from comic strips to animation.

Charlie Brown is trying to play baseball with his friends, but can't ever help his team out. Finally given the chance to help them with a sponsorship, Charlie Brown is faced with an ethical dilemma concerning his love of baseball and his friends.

This was a pretty good special. Although it is not like the holiday specials, it is different as this summer special has different motives. Even though there is some things that they are trying out as it was still new to animate the Peanuts it gets over those bumps and gets to home. The one-liners, animations, and classic Snoopy montage make this an unforgettable classic!

A bunch of children with lack of morale led by Charlie Brown, who keep getting bullied by his fellow female friends.

A bleak, gloomy and depressing atmosphere latched into these kid's lives. They only witnessed failure after failure. I'm worried about their mental health.

Second animated special based on the cartoon strips of Charles M. Schulz is about poor luckless Charlie Brown's attempts to win at least one game, and break a long losing streak. Charlie gets some initially good news when he is offered the chance to join an official little league, and get to wear real uniforms, but even that hope is dashed when he is informed that the league won't accept either girls or pets(Snoopy). How can Charlie break this news to the gang without the risk of them walking away from the game forever, and him in particular? Lightweight special is stuck between two classics, and is just too flimsy and silly to be remembered. Best for Baseball fans.
