Snoopy Presents: For Auld Lang Syne

Snoopy Presents: For Auld Lang Syne is an amazing special. I haven't really watch the original Peanuts specials that much but this special just felt different. The voices were different from the original Peanuts and of course the animation was different. I don't remember watching Peanuts but I guess I have because I just felt like something was wrong. Besides that this is a really good special. This special has a great message. I think that the message that everyone is loved is a great theme and everyone should listen to it. I like how they focused on Lucy but I think they should have gone into the plot with Charlie Brown. There was a cool plot about Charlie Brown that they just left out. I think that they got a bit clingy to the song Auld Lang Syne. I have never even heard of it before. Is that supposed to be a New Years song? Anyway, New Years Eve is today, and if you are reading this on New Years Eve I'm saying to you happy New Years. If you are reading this and it isn't New Years, well happy New Years when it happens. In all, I give this a 7.9 out of 10.

Perfect animation, great voices, and wonderful timeless characters! As usual, an underlying set of heart-warming messages sprinkled with cute little skits. This will never get old for me, even now after enjoying it for over 50 years! :-)

I really loved this. The animation was better than in any prior Peanuts special, and the characters all looked great. Interestingly, Charles Schulz himself didn't much like the drawing and animation in the old Peanuts specials produced when he was still with us. I think he'd love this. So well done! Authentic, yet new things have been added, including a refreshed characterization of Lucy, and it's very welcome. One of the reasons I liked "The Peanuts Movie" is that Snoopy was changed so that he actually cared about Charlie Brown. In the strip, he didn't even seem to recognize his owner, and that always kind of irritated me. The producers of the movie fixed that, and Snoopy was much more likable IMO. Same deal with Lucy in this special. Her story was very moving and believable as to how a child might feel about a beloved relative not coming for Christmas. Kids tend to blame themselves for adult behavior (ask any child whose parents have divorced) so I commend the producers of this special on how they handled Lucy in her situation. Plus, the way the special ended was so moving. This was excellent. I hope we see more of this kind of Lucy in future specials. 10 stars!

I sat down to watch the 2021 animated holiday special titled "Snoopy Presents: For Auld Lang Syne" with my 11 year old son today.

And this was sort of bland. I mean, for an animated movie for kids the message was a bit too heavy, and my son didn't seem to take much liking to it. I supposed it was just too serious in its storyline. And me, as an adult, well I found it to be watchable, albeit somewhat bland.

The animation was good, and it definitely reminded me of the "Snoopy" animations I used to watch on TV as a boy back in the day.

I suppose that the 2021 "Snoopy Presents: For Auld Lang Syne" is for the fans of the "Snoopy" and "Peanut" franchise, not really for casual viewers like myself or my son.

This is not something that I will be returning to watch a second time.

My rating of directoy Clay Kaytis' "Snoopy Presents: For Auld Lang Syne" lands on a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.
