If only they could air this on TV more often leading up to Valentine's Day. This early 2000s Peanuts special really holds a special place in me. With it's hilarious writing, cleaver jokes and just pure wholesome family friendly entertainment it's a special that I endear watching every year. Charlie Brown tries desperately to get a valentines card but to no avail. Either getting sidetracked with Marci and Peppermint Patty trying to go out with Charlie Brown or others coming to his aid. Such as Linus beating up a bully with his favorite blanket after the bully with annoying the little red haired girl. Or trying to return a pencil only for Lucy to return said pencil after the little red haired girl dropped it. Or even Sally wants to fall for Linus but gets rejected every time since she always calls him a sweet baboo. Even parts like Lucy asking Snoopy to come up with a good Valentine's Day card but every entry he gives her she just gets increasingly frustrated with it. (Dear angle food cake with seven minute frosting LOL). (You are breath and bread and water to me h aid and Chocolate chip cookies GOOD GRIEF). Thats amazing right there. That's the kind of stuff thats hilarious and just watching makes the peanuts very enjoyable. The story itself is kind of loose but warm-hearted at the same time. The animation is really stunning reflecting the classic Peanuts style and feel. The moment this special starts you feel like it was done in the 70s and the style that made Peanuts iconic.
