Trivia
Animated debut of Peppermint Patty.

Goofs
During the mad rush at the bus stop in the final scene, Linus gets on the bus twice.

Quotes
Charlie Brown: It's stupid to just sit here and admire that little red haired girl from a distance. It's stupid not to get up and go over and talk to her.
[stands up]
Charlie Brown: It's really stupid! It's just plain stupid; so why I don't I go over and talk to her?
[sits down]
Charlie Brown: Because I'm stupid.

Crazy credits
After missing the bus again, Charlie Brown receives a love note from the Little Red-Haired Girl. The old blockhead gleefully skips his way home and ponders about what he'll do with her when the new school year arrives as the credits roll. (If you listen closely as his dialogue fades away, it is him saying the same thing over and over.) But then the music stops and he says, "Good grief! How will I live until September?!"

Alternate versions
The version on Apple TV+ cuts the audio off before Charlie Brown's final line after the credits ("Good grief! How will I live until September?!"), thereby completely ruining the entire punchline of the special.

True love in 67'

This was a wonder to behold!! From the moment I put it on the DVD player, I was astounded at how, all of the Charlie Brown features are not carbon copies of each other. The animation had that good feeling classic made in the U.S.A feel to it. Further propelled by the storyline of Charlie Brown and his red-haired love sick obsession with that little 'Red Haired Girl'. He was just out of his mind, when he first saw her. Thoughts of romance and kisses on his mind. Bashful and hopeful of the time that he would get to just be with her! But with thanks to friends like Linus, and of course Snoopy, he has a support team second to none!! This is a feel-good Charlie Brown that is well equipped with laughs and heart warming fun, for family and friends alike. This is a don't miss, for all Peanuts fans out there, be sure and catch the romantic vision, feel the frenzied heartbeat and find the love! You're in love Charlie Brown!! Recommended to all the ages.(*****)
