It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown

I thought this was one of the Peanuts best specials! I love the music and the dancing. Snoopy looks great in torn up sweats! The breakdancing scene on the street is my favorite. And whoever sang the title track should have gotten a grammy because I love that song. If anyone happens to have any of the soundtrack at all would you please e-mail me? Thanks a bunch!

I completely disagree with the other comment. While the special may not have fit in with all of the other Peanuts specials, that doesn't mean it's not good. I thought it was a really funny idea. And the music is awesome! If your image of Snoopy is "ruined" by seeing him in sweats, then you have a problem. It's just moving the character with the time, without changing what everyone loves about him. It's still good old Snoopy, he's just wearing orange sweats. Get over it already. If you haven't seen this movie, rent it, you will like it!

There's not much of a story in this Peanuts special though the theme of dancing does connect the sketches. I do find it kinda strange that a kid's TV special is based on a R-rated movie however.

None of the Peanuts gang appear to be happy unless they are dancing. Even Snoopy fancies himself as a Tony Manolo type. Obviously though old Chuck can't get into the spirit of things. Though Snoopy's propensity for dancing to funky, old-school 80s beats does earn Sally Brown her first A in show-and-tell.

Bizarre really to think that Stacy Ferguson provided the voice of Lucy in this one.

This 80's offering from the "Peanuts" shares a love-hate relationship with the fans of the series. People on the love side enjoy the silly nature of the program as well as the music. They also enjoy the cultural reference to what were popular trends in the mid 80's. People on the hate side however disliked the program for its attempt to capitalize of what were considered fads at the time. Personally, while not one of my favorite specials in the group...it's harmless. While seeing Snoopy dressed up in leg warmers is a bit rough to take, at least he's not being mauled by a dog sled team or being guilt-ed into moving back with his former owner. Watch this one after you've watched most of the others in the series.

This special was okay/average. 'It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown' is certainly not the best Peanuts special out there, but its not really the worst either.

Seeing how I didn't grow up with this special like a few other specials, I don't think I have the nostalgia that other people might have for this special. To me it just comes off as fun but a little awkward and outdated especially to any new younger viewers born in the 21st century.

The animation is still good and the musical numbers are catchy, but there isn't really a cohesive narrative. It probably fun for casual watching, but besides Snoopy's iconic dancing (which is adorably memeable by itself) this special is just kind of boring.

Still though if your watching all of the Peanuts specials this is not a special to skip. Its fun and has some classic scenes you might love yourself! Oh and by the way Pigpen has a musical number and Fergie (from Black Eyed Peas) voices Sally. So that's pretty cool!
