It's Magic, Charlie Brown

Snoopy gets a magic book at the library & puts on a magic show. He's, "The Great Houndini." Some of his tricks work and some don't. He cuts up Linus' blanket & it should "magically" go back together, but it doesn't. Then he makes Charlie Brown invisible and can't change him back. The invisible C.B. screws with Lucy & actually kicks the football. Lucy tells Snoopy to make C.B. reappear. Somehow Snoopy gets "magical powers" to bring C.B. back & Lucy says he may not have kicked the ball - no one else saw it. Snoopy levitates Lucy & leaves her up there.

Good C.B. fun for all ages. A must see.

I've always liked the Peanuts. The cold reality life is given new life in humorous animations. This is one of the best Charlie Brown shows I've seen. The one where he actually kicks the ball. Enjoyable and fun all the way through. Amazing.

A magic show can only mean disaster for poor Charlie Brown and his friends, especially when Snoopy is the magician. This charming special is an exceptionally good one in the long line of Peanuts specials, containing the basic ingredients that make up the Peanuts strips- humor, simplicity, and innocence.

Snoopy puts on a magic show for the neighborhood kids, and when he makes Charlie Brown disappear (for real!) he can't figure out how to get him back. But rest assured, Snoopy always finds a way in the end, doesn't he? This show gives us some surprising twists to the ordinary world of Peanuts, including a glimpse (for the first and only time, as far as I know) inside Snoopy's doghouse, Charlie Brown's victory at kicking the football (maybe), and a rare moment of Lucy getting (in my opinion) her well-deserved comeuppance when Snoopy performs a feat of levitation on her and leaves her in a very interesting situation.

Great fun is always had with Charlie Brown and the gang. This is definitely one to add to the collection.

It's hard not to love The Peanuts Gang and they never seem to disappoint; as always the gang has a few magical surprises and laughs for the audience - this special has plenty of that.

Charlie Brown wants Snoopy to educate himself and sends his beagle to the library to get some books to read. Snoopy picks up a book on magic, learns some of it and then puts on a stage act for the gang. Our magician ends up turning Charlie invisible. Snoopy has problems trying to put Charlie back right. In the meantime, ol' Chuck manages to finally kick that football!

Really cute Peanuts special - worth watching as always!

One of the things I always loved about the Charlie Brown specials were that they were always a surprise, you never really knew what the Pennuts gang were going to get into next. This is another of my favorite specials.

There really isn't a whole lot to say about this one it's basically about Snoopy learning magic, that's pretty much it but that's cool because it finally dove into one of the things I always loved as a kid magic tricks.

In a way the whole special plays out like a skit comedy as most of what happens is pretty random and all revolve around the subject magic. I don't want to give too much away but from what you can see Snoopy is obviously a magician in progress as he seems to be hit or miss at first with most of the magic tricks.

Two of my favorite parts of the special were seeing Snoopy perform a magic trick with Linus's blanket where it's the trick to cut it apart and then make it magically intact again. It is just fraking hilarious as we just see the reactions on Linus's face, he's literally going into a nervous breakdown; for a really smart guy Linus has got problems.

Another of course was Charlie Brown becoming invisible, throughout a whole third of the special it's focused on Charlie Brown despite not seeing him but it's just fun seeing Charlie Brown get into some antics and have fun with his invisibility. He even gets to do something that I've been waiting for years to happen and it's finally paid off.

Charlie and Snoopy are magically powered for fun.
