    My review of "Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown"

    Wow. Wow! What can I say about it? It's just a "Peanuts" cartoon with a twist! Out of all the parodies I've seen, this is the best one out there. The only thing that made me skeptical was that Jim Reardon was one of the people involved with "The Simpsons" before I even watched it.

    After I watched it, I was like "Whoa! That was so brutal!" I've watched it a bunch of times it actually influenced me to write an animated short that spoofs "Zootopia".

    Anyway, before I start ranting about the cartoon, let me just make this clear: I absolutely love this cartoon. It's so violent and so hilarious I don't even know what's going on yet until the climax. That was hysterical. This pays tribute to Sam Peckinpah who directed "The Wild Bunch" and other movies he directed.

    Not only does this cartoon parodies the "Peanuts" specials, it also spoofs "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia", "Commando", "Rambo" and more in particular. Come on, it's Charlie Brown going on a rampage on the Peanuts gang, and you know, I'm a huge Peanuts fan.

    One of my favorite part in the entire thing is the climax. The first time I saw it, I was just not only blown away, but also laugh-out-loud to the max! And my favorite quote? "Happiness is a warm uzi!"

    So, overall, if you're busy looking for the perfect satire of a movie to watch, this is the best example. So I'm going to give this a 10 out of 10.

    Very entertaining short

    Rated NR(would be Rated R for Pervasive Strong Graphic Violence/Gore)

    Bring Me the Head Of Charlie Brown is an animated short film made by some students at Calarts in the year 1986.If you want to watch the film, it is available on youtube.The short is basically about this.The great pumpkin puts a bounty on the head of Charlie Brown.So basically everybody in the Peanuts gang tries to murder him to get their reward.After a while Charlie Brown cant take it anymore so he starts going on a murder rampage killing all the peanuts characters.The film is shown as a commercial.Bring Me The Head Of Charlie Brown is a funny animated short and I recommend it.

    Fun student film

    This is a great student film, with bonus points for making fun of such a cherished cartoon icon.

    Lots of garish humor, over-the-top violence, and blatantly sadistic comedy. The things that make student films great.

    Audio and voice-overs are rather sub-par...but I think it might have been intentional to just lampoon the voices rather than trying to copy them.

    Model wise, they're pretty dead-on to the Charlie Brown art form.

    Interestingly, most of the people who worked on it have had some impressive careers and worked for major studios.

    If you want to see it, check the message boards for a couple of links to it (or just google search it).

    Funny Video!

    This Video is funny, but I like Charlie Brown Anyways.

    I give this video a 7.5 out of 10.

    Note: This Video May Be Gory, or may ruin your childhood, watch at your own risk. But it is Very Funny.

    The Funniest part is where Charlie Brown Screams Like Tom the Cat after Snoopy ate his apple and his hand. But the part is a bit gory.

    Also, the video looks a little too outdated since it is on Black and White.

    Awesome!

    The video quality is terrible but the content is hilarious. Too bad the real Charlie Brown wasn't like this.

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Charlie Brown's line "Happiness is a warm Uzi" is a spoof of Peanuts author Charles m. Schulz's famous quote "Happiness is a warm puppy"
    • Goofs
      The closing credit "'Charlie Brown' - The Platters" is incorrect, with the song playing over the credits being the Coasters' hit recording of "Charlie Brown", a song the Platters are not known to have recorded.
    • Quotes

      Charlie Brown: Schroeder, where's your piano?

      [a giant piano falls on him]

    • Crazy credits
      A disclaimer in the ending credits reads: The creator of this picture wishes to state that he does not in any way wish to tarnish or demean the beloved characters of Charles M. "Dutch" Schulz's comic-strip, "Peanuts". No malice or damage to their goodwill was intended. So please don't sue me, because it will drag through the courts for years, and I haven't got a lawyer - and besides, you've already got half the money in the world, and I haven't got any. OK?
