Why aren't there Thanksgiving movies? Various tv channels have weeks dedicated to Halloween movies and then Christmas ones (actually it's like a month worth of Christmas movies!)...but what about the holiday in between???? I guess it isn't as commercial as the other season: Halloween candy and Christmas is all about the gifts, but still where is the love for Thanksgiving? There are barely any Thanksgiving songs.... Work on that Hollywood!
"I haven't even finished eating all of my Halloween candy."
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973) minutes
Peppermint Patty invites herself, Marcie, and Franklin to the Brown's for Thanksgiving...unfortunately Charlie Brown (and family) is supposed to go to his grandmother's for dinner. Linus suggests having two dinners: a small one for their friends and then grandma's house for the real dinner with family. With Snoopy and Woodstock's help, they get the table and food ready. Will their guests be satisfied with the "feast"?
A stable Thanksgiving film....they always show it on TV. Honestly, it isn't a holiday without a Peanut's special. My only problem...where's Lucy?
It's America Charlie Brown: The Mayflower Voyages (1988)
Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Woodstock, Lucy, Linus, Peppermint Patty, Marcie, Schroeder, Sally and Pigpen are pilgrims traveling on the Mayflower, beginning in England. They survive the wilds of the ocean and the sickness onboard, and learn from the Native Americans they meet. Finishing with the first Thanksgiving feast and a rendition of the classic Peanuts song with Schroeder on piano, Lucy on trumpet, and Snoopy beating the drum.
The Peanuts characters are involved in all aspects of life on the Mayflower and at the New World. They interact with the historical figures, and add some of their own humor to different situations.
I was just saying that I want to hear Thanksgiving music when I am out shopping. But no. You should work on that in your free time.
ReplyDeleteGotta love the Peanuts. They have the holidays covered.
