User Reviews

It wasn't all THAT bad!!!

Being born in 1981 and not really seeing the special until later on in life, this Peanuts fan thinks that it was a fun special. (Of course, liking the movie and the music from Flashdance might help with that respect). I think that Snoopys look was a little less from Flashdance, but more of an early eighties fitness, "Physical", Olivia Newton-John headband style. In fact, the first thing I thought of when I saw Snoopy with the headband was Olivia's "Physical".

I won't spoil anything, but if you've never seen it, and if you were a fan of the early 80s fads, I'd give it a whirl. Maybe someday Paramount will release it on DVD with some extras! :-)
