Que Patinadora, Charlie Brown

'She's a Good Skate, Charlie Brown' is a Peanuts special that instead of focusing on Charlie Brown, moves the spotlight to Peppermint Patty. And it does an amazing job with focusing just on primarily one character.

I know call this a "spinoff", but it is a Peanuts special that just focuses on Peppermint Patty, Marcie, and Snoopy (with small cameos from Charlie Brown). It takes a risk with Peppermint Patty pursuing a ice skating competition and it nails the finish. The animation is cute and fun. The music is relaxing and inviting. The dialogue is okay, but you appreciate Peppermint Patty and Marcie so much it doesn't matter.

I know I'm biased towards nostalgia with ice skating, but this special is pretty good. Its so much better than you would think given it was released during the "forgotten years" of the Peanuts animated specials.

Give it a watch. I promise you won't be dissapointed!
