Spoofs Flashdance (1983)

Job well done.

I really enjoyed this special of Charlie Brown. Flashbeagle takes the Peanuts gang on a vacation from moral teachings to high-class, musical entertainment. The actual Flashbeagle dancing had some of best tunes from the 1980's. These Charlie Brown TV specials is one of the many reasons why I like cartoons so much.
