Snoopy présente: Le nouvel an de Lucy

I really loved this. The animation was better than in any prior Peanuts special, and the characters all looked great. Interestingly, Charles Schulz himself didn't much like the drawing and animation in the old Peanuts specials produced when he was still with us. I think he'd love this. So well done! Authentic, yet new things have been added, including a refreshed characterization of Lucy, and it's very welcome. One of the reasons I liked "The Peanuts Movie" is that Snoopy was changed so that he actually cared about Charlie Brown. In the strip, he didn't even seem to recognize his owner, and that always kind of irritated me. The producers of the movie fixed that, and Snoopy was much more likable IMO. Same deal with Lucy in this special. Her story was very moving and believable as to how a child might feel about a beloved relative not coming for Christmas.

Snoopy Presents: For Auld Lang Syne is an amazing special. I haven't really watch the original Peanuts specials that much but this special just felt different. The voices were different from the original Peanuts and of course the animation was different. I don't remember watching Peanuts but I guess I have because I just felt like something was wrong. Besides that this is a really good special. This special has a great message. I think that the message that everyone is loved is a great theme and everyone should listen to it. I like how they focused on Lucy but I think they should have gone into the plot with Charlie Brown. There was a cool plot about Charlie Brown that they just left out. I think that they got a bit clingy to the song Auld Lang Syne. I have never even heard of it before. Is that supposed to be a New Years song? Anyway, New Years Eve is today, and if you are reading this on New Years Eve I'm saying to you happy New Years. If you are reading this and it isn't New Years, well happy New Years when it happens. In all, I give this a 7.9 out of 10.

Perfect animation, great voices, and wonderful timeless characters! As usual, an underlying set of heart-warming messages sprinkled with cute little skits. This will never get old for me, even now after enjoying it for over 50 years! :-)

Kids tend to blame themselves for adult behavior (ask any child whose parents have divorced) so I commend the producers of this special on how they handled Lucy in her situation. Plus, the way the special ended was so moving. This was excellent. I hope we see more of this kind of Lucy in future specials. 10 stars!

Not in the same league at all with the old Bill Menendez Charlie Brown and Peanuts Specials of yore, of my childood of growing up in the 70's. Most characters have strangely taken on new traits, and they just don't seem as fun as they used to be. Still watchable and the new animation sort of robs the old charm away from the old Charlie Brown specials, the gray and browns of those autumn skies. Too colorful. Worth watching though for the sake of nostalgia.
