Boa Viagem, Charlie Brown

Not quite how I remember it, but, really, how many things from childhood are?

It was a fun watch, though nostalgia played a large part. Despite the novelty of the setting, it didn't seem to be as good as other Peanuts specials and movies from the era. One problem was the relatively frequently repetition of the same jokes over and over, presumably to pad out the run-time. And I'm not on board with inserting actual adult representations and adults speaking comprehensibly -- the jokes and plot development could easily have been done with a bit of rewriting to keep the focus on the kids.

One part that did weird me out -- Peppermint Pattie going on and on about giving Pierre "a tumble." Given that the term comes from "a tumble in the hay" i.e. sex, it seemed a little off that a six or seven year old girl is talking about the possibility of giving the kid one. Eeesh.
