[first lines]
Charles M. Schulz: Good evening. I'm Charles Schulz. Welcome to "A Charlie Brown Celebration". Bill Melendez, his animators, and I have put together a cartoon show that is just a little bit different from the ones you usually see. When you draw a comic strip every day, it's important to have a change of pace to keep the reader's interest. I draw a list of daily episodes, then when something strikes me as especially interesting, I do a story that could run for three, four, even five weeks, depending on where the story takes me. This is what we have done for our show tonight. We have four short stories interspersed with several little episodes all involving the complete cast of "Peanuts" characters. Naturally, there will be Snoopy and Woodstock, Charlie Brown, Lucy, Schroeder, Linus, Peppermint Patty, Marcie, the whole Peanuts gang. So, welcome to "A Charlie Brown Celebration".

"Celebration" is also noteworthy because it contains the first animated appearance of two minor Peanuts characters: Eudora and Truffles. "Who?" you may ask lol. Yeah me too. I had to look them up, but these two characters both appeared briefly in the Peanuts daily comic strip in the 1970s. And they both make an appearance here.
Another reviewer wrote that this is his or her favorite Peanuts special, but I have a hard time understanding that sentiment. It's entertaining for sure, but it lacks any truly heartwarming or sentimental moments that made the best Peanuts specials "special." What you get here is what you might expect. Sally still has a crush on Linus. Lucy still tries to shake Schroeder from his Beethoven obsession. Charlie still wants to kick the football. This is all fine and good, but your favorite? That seems a bit of a stretch.
So, overall, amusing and entertaining. As I said, about what you'd expect from a good (not great) Peanuts program. Peanuts fans should not be disappointed.
7/10. Would I watch again (Y/N)?: Yes.
