Trivia
Originally planned as a 5-minute educational video to be shown to young cancer patients, Charles M. Schulz suggested that the project be expanded to a full half-hour special. CBS and producer Bill Melendez initially balked at the idea, but went ahead with it, due to Schulz's enthusiasm of the project. Schulz was touched by the idea, as his mother Dena succumbed to cancer on the night he was drafted for WWII. See more »Goofs
Continuity: Linus moves from sitting in front of Janice and next to Charlie Brown, to sitting behind Charlie Brown, next to the window, and back. See more »Quotes
