Excellent

I loved this movie when I saw it years ago. Has it ever been put out as a DVD or Video? This is one of the best examples of a play powerfully done yet with a minimalist set. Any local theater could repeat this. The musical is phenomenal and varied. The movie holds true to its theatrical roots and does not attempt to become bigger than the show is intended to be. To have Snoopy as a person is inspired, His doghouse, dancing, and dialogue are just what you would expect from this character. I like that he has the strong jazz number, both vocally and dance-wise. Charlie Brown comes off as an enjoyable and sympathetic protagonist. You feel sorry for him and yet still want him to succeed. Few adults will not flash back to their own childhoods.
