Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Poor Charlie Brown. He can't fly a kite, and he always loses in baseball. Having his faults projected onto a screen by Lucy doesn't help him much either. Against the sage advice and taunting of the girls in his class, he volunteers for the class spelling bee...and wins! Next, it's the school spelling bee. Once again, a winner! Good grief! Now the pressure is on as he is off to New York City for the televised national spelling bee. With Snoopy and Linus present for moral support, can Charlie Brown spell his way to a national championship? Written by jlentz1@comcast.net

Lucy Van Pelt: Aren't the clouds beautiful? They look like big balls of cotton. I could just lie here all day and watch them drift by. If you use your imagination, you can see lots of things in the cloud's formations. What do you think you see, Linus?
Linus Van Pelt: Well, those clouds up there look to me look like the map of the British Honduras on the Caribbean.

Linus Van Pelt: That cloud up there looks a little like the profile of Thomas Eakins, the famous painter and sculptor. And that group of clouds over there....

Trivia
The 1964 LP and CD "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio (Fantasy FCD-8430-2), long since available by Fantasy Records, is not the soundtrack for this film, but for the earlier unaired TV documentary of the same name, A Boy Named Charlie Brown (1963). A storybook record for this film, featuring the music & song tracks (by Guaraldi, John Scott Trotter and Rod McKuen), and the dialogue (with narration by Peter Robbins as Charlie Brown and Glenn Gilger as Linus Van Pelt), was released by Columbia Records to coincide with the release of this film, but has since been out of print. Another LP album by Rod McKuen (SR-5010) was released on his Stanyan Records label in 1970, featuring new arrangements of the songs he did for the film (along with an instrumental track, called "Something For Snoopy," originally intended for the film); it was finally released on CD and digital in 2015. However, in 2017, Kritzerland Records has released the long-awaited complete score for this film (KR-20031-8) with bonus unused/alternate tracks) on CD, albeit limited edition (1,000 copies).

This groundbreaking animated film brought the bittersweet and somewhat bleak humor of Schultz's "Peanuts" comic strip to the big screen, with beautiful, lush artwork that has probably never been duplicated. Memorable scenes include Schroeder's piano concert; Snoopy ice-skating in Central Park; the New York City spelling bee (where the famous "wah-wah-wah" voice approves or disapproves of contestants' spellings); and a showstopping rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner," complete with psychedelic red, white, and blue imagery. A wonderful cult classic.
