I have seen all of the Peanuts TV shows and prior movies and I read a lot of Peanuts comics and this one is not greatly different from those TV specials. In fact, a major theme of this movie steals one of the plots of Peanuts TV show and then expands it a little. However, it drags out over 1.5 hours, when it could have been much shorter.
We get an interesting and new sub plot with Snoopy and a female dog, we get another little twist on Charlie Brown usual story when he becomes a form of a celebrity in his school. But beyond that, we get a lot of slap stick with Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and Woodstock that after a few minutes, I found very boring, and not in the least bit funny or even interesting.
It was as if they wanted to fill time.
I believe it is still worthwhile, in spite of that, and even if you have seen all of the Peanuts TV shows, as I have, just because of the ending. The ending is almost identical to the ending one of those TV shows, (when you see the ending you'll know/remember which TV show I am talking about, in fact when you see one of the characters, you might even be capable of guessing the ending of this movie) but this movie explains that TV specials ending a little further with a particularly good maybe even great message.
