Another Great Schulz Cartoon.

If anybody has read any previous comments by me then they have been on cartoons, which tells you I am an expert Cartoonist and cartoonist critic at age 12. To second with, I don't bother writing a comment unless it's a good one, so all comments are good. Anyways this is a great show for adults and kids alike, it involves many of the truths in life in the humor of Charles Schulz' acclaimed cartoon. It involves many of the comic strip themes into the show (e.g. "Baseball", "The Cat Next Store", "Show and Tell".) What cracks me up though is that these children act so adult part of the time and completely ignorant the next. I just love sweet old Charlie Brown always being so good yet such a complete failure that he makes us laugh. I love Linus' intelligence and "Security Blanket", as much as I love his sisters crabbiness. I would also like to comment on Schroeder's music craze, and Snoopy's humanlike attributes. Although these are my favorite characters what cracks me up in the show is Sally's comments, like when she's playing football with Linus "Why should I kick the ball, it hasn't done anything to me." "Just kick it" "What if it kicks me back...I've decided not to kick the ball" (Air leaks out of the ball). "The ball is hissing at me" "Maybe it's sprung a leak" "No this ball is definitely hissing at me..." (the ball goes flat) "I think it passed out". To me this is funny, these are events that happen to most regular people through kids. If you like Peanuts or feel you need to laugh at life then see this movie, you'll enjoy it.
