Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

cairn6 ....because in this Charlie Brown outing several dozen get destroyed! Easter time in Charlie Brown's neck of the woods, and the kids find new and interesting ways to make it amusing. First off is Peppermint Patty's futile attempt to teach Marcie how to make colored eggs. Back to the Discount Mart they go...quite a few times....for another dozen. Then we see Snoopy trying to create a comfortable bird house for Woodstock... this he does but accidentally destroys it, so...back to the Discount Mart he goes...for another birdhouse. Then we see Sally wanting a new pair of shoes and persuades her big brother Charlie Brown to take her shopping for a pair....so off to the Discount Mart they go....where ol' Chuck is disgusted to see a pre-Christmas sale is underway..."Only 246 days until Christmas!!" And while this is going on, Linus is preparing for the Easter Beagle to arrive with eggs for the good boys and girls. The rest of the gang still has yet to let him live down the whole Great Pumpkin thing from a few specials before. While not deep or sentimental like the original Christmas special, this show manages to draw laughs in only the way the Peanuts can do. This is a funny special which like so many in the series manages to entertain through humor, dialogue, satire, and silliness.

Woodyanders Linus tries to convince the Peanuts gang that the Easter Beagle (a.k.a. Snoopy) will take care of everything on Easter Sunday. Meanwhile, Peppermint Patty has trouble painting eggs because Marcie keeps on cooking them (a hilarious running gag which is milked for maximum belly laughs right up until the conclusion) and, in a sweet and endearing subplot, Snoopy helps Woodstock find a better birdhouse replacement for his lackluster nest. Director Phil Roman and writer Charles M. Schulz ably craft a warm and witty little show that benefits greatly from a good-natured tone and an amusing sense of pleasant and inoffensive humor. The best, most inspired, and uproarious joke: A department store is already selling assorted Christmas items at substantial discount prices. Moreover, there's a brief, but delightfully charming sequence showing Snoppy happily dancing with a bunch of adorable bunny rabbits. Vince Guaraldi's sublimely funky'n'jazzy score keeps things bubbling along. A hugely enjoyable affair.

tavm While not as entertaining as many of the other Peanuts holiday specials (Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas), there's still some amusing scenes that makes It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown worth recommending. Like seeing Peppermint Patty get frustrated every time her friend Marcie cracks open the eggs (to fry, waffle, or boil) as Patty prepares to paint them. Or Snoopy botching some attempts at getting his bird friend Woodstock a bird house. Only a Peanuts cartoon would have a scene in a Discount Mart with a sign saying "Only 246 days till Christmas" with potential presents on sale! Though while Linus' belief in the Easter Beagle, unlike that of the Great Pumkin, comes true, isn't it a bit strange no one acknowledges that it's Snoopy doing the rounds? And why is Schroeder's scene so brief here? Otherwise, this was a pretty entertaining animated special with fine work, as always, by musician Vince Guaraldi on the score.

Shawn Watson The peanuts gang are up to their usual mischief in preparation for Easter Sunday, but no one seems to be listening to Linus. He swears that the Easter Beagle will come and make the celebrations complete. Typically no one listens to him, he is little bit 'Ralph Wiggum' remember.Though Snoopy ends up being that very Beagle, he's far too busy trying to help out Woodstock. The poor little bird is freezing in his cruddy little nest full of cold water. So Snoopy goes off to the mall (already advertising Xmas goodies!) to buy him a bird house. With hilarious results.After much hijinks and endless trips to the mall for eggs (Marcie keeps smashing them as she doesn't know how to do egg-painting) Snoopy saves the day and proves Linus right after all. Sigh! They don't make 'em like this anymore. I'll take Snoopy over Spongebob any day.
