Super Bowl

[DutchOompaLoompa · 7/10 · 23 October 2004]

I gave You're in the Super Bowl, Charlie Brown a seven. This movie was a pretty good movie because it was an escape from cliché Charlie Brown movies, I personally thought that it was not a classic but at least original. The plot gave what it promised, and didn't exactly draw things out very long as other movies did. It's a normal family movie and you cant complain about that. Not an excellent classic but you should at least give it a look. This wasn't the best Charlie Brown movie of course but you can enjoy it without having to analyze it or describe it, you just pop it in and watch. It's good for a rainy dark day when you have nothing to do. So overall this movie would be about a seven.

One of the weakest Peanuts shorts.

I'm not quite sure what to make of You're in the Super Bowl, Charlie Brown. Unlike the other ones which have an idea of plot, in this one things kind of happen and then they kind of stop. The story is of some kind of football contest, basically to see who can throw a football the farthest, and kick it the farthest. Charlie Brown (Jimmy Guardino) and Linus Van Pelt (John Christian Graas) decide to enter, along with the rest of the Peanuts gang. Linus meets a girl named Melody-Melody (yes that is her real name) (Crystal Kuns) whom he falls for and tells her that he is entering in the contest. Melody wishes him luck. At the contest Linus kicks the ball the furthest but then Melody unexpectedly appears and blows his score away. Then the film pretty much ends. Yeah this was pretty insignificant. It doesn't really seem big enough to deserve it's own film. At the end I was just looking at my screen thinking "What's next? Is this really where it ends." It felt as though there should have been more. Honestly I think they were just going for broke when they wrote this. I love the Peanuts but this was just kind of weak.

I remember watching this Charlie Brown special on VHS. Now it's pretty cool for a Charlie Brown special as it a Football theme story line.

Also it features the logo and teams of the NFL National Football League which looking back is not something you see all the time in any other form of media let alone with Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the other Peanut Gang.

You have to be a fan of both football and the Peanut Gang to enjoy this special which I am a fan of both since I love the Peanut gang since I was a kid and I grew up around Football that it's impossible not to find good entertainment out of this film.

It has a good mix of humor plus seeing Snoopy as a football coach is really cool

While it does have a lack of a lot it factor to the film it's still fun and that's what the Peanut films are suppose to be.

Good animation as well that's a plus as well as funny voice work as you would get any from The Peanut special It does feature an original plot for a Charlie Brown special so do yourself a favor and check it out.

I give You're In The Super Bowl Charlie Brown an 7 out of 10

This is an embarrassing low for Peanuts - an NFL advertisement disguised as a children's TV special. I don't know if it's more embarrassing than Flashbeagle or not. That special was contrived purely by a marketing department while this one actively tries to shove NFL trademarks, logos and events down children's throats.

If you ever get the chance to purchase this at a Shell station after filling up with a minimum of 8 gallons (that was the chief method of distribution of this gem), save your money and just wait for the Snoopy/Met Life blimp to pass overhead. It's far more interesting and it affords the opportunity to tell your kids about helium. Or better yet, watch the Christmas or Thanksgiving special again.
