"Green? Why did you put down green?"
"I thought it was a trick question."
Charlie Brown (Johnson) can't understand why his dog Snoopy is tired all the time. All day he is sluggish and lazy. But at night he comes alive on the dance floor.
Peppermint Patty (Holtzman) struggles with school, but loves her social life and gym class. After school everyone gathers for a party. While it is an excuse to dance and enjoy time with friends, Lucy still uses the opportunity to boss around the gang.
Will Charlie Brown ever learn the truth about Snoopy and his love of dance?
Inspired by the 1983 film Flashdance, and Peanuts creator's Charles Schulz's love for it.
The Good:
This Peanuts film has some of my favorite songs "Pigpen Hoedown", "Lucy Says" because I love bossy Lucy, and "Peppermint Patty's PE Program".
It also has some fun scenes for Peppermint Patty. But, as The title suggests, this is all about Snoopy.
The Bad:
It's a little dated, very clearly a product of the 1980s. It's not bad, just doesn't hold up great in places.
