Review of It's the Pied Piper, Charlie Brown

I love PEANUTS and so does my five year old. That said I feel I must say that its time to stop making thhem. the newer adventures are not up to par with the older classics (to mention a few:GREAT PUMPKIN,CHRISTMAS special,RACE FOR YOUR LIFE CHARLIE BROWN and SNOOPY COME HOME). In PIED PIPER grown ups talk...and not just "mwah mwah mwah" they actually speak in English to the children...and thats a big PEANUTS no-no! I didnt feel this had the ensemble feel of a good PEANUTS special where all the charactors (Charlie Brown,Linus,Sally,Lucy,Schroeder etc.) all inter-act with eachother. this special is clearly Snoopys show and he carrys most of the storyline.
