Trivia:
Actress Kathy Steinberg had almost finished recording all her lines of dialog as Sally when the producers received a phone call from Steinberg's mother informing them that one of Kathy's teeth was loose. Fearing that a sudden lisp would ruin the continuity dialogue, the producers rushed the young actress into the studio to finish recording her lines. Just as Steinberg was speaking her last line, the tooth came flying out of her mouth.See more »
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: Just before Snoopy rises in the pumpkin patch Sally is standing with her arms crossed. Her left hand is painted in the same color as her dress - the animators didn't realize it was her hand.See more »

Great Halloween feature!, 18 October 2003
Author: Movie Nuttball from U.S.A.

This is a very good animated feature! It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is very funny and I am surprised it is still poplar today! If you get chance to watch it then do so because it is really a classic and great for Halloween!
