Snoopy Come Home

I first read the book adaptation of this in 4th grade, when I was 9, about '76. I was crushed, especially by the scene at the farewell party for Snoopy, when Charlie Brown goes to the podium and tries to find the words to say goodbye to his dog, his friend. He cannot. I was choking up really bad, having had a collie for some years at that time, I could not fathom not having him around, so it hit home.

Now when I think of it, I also enjoy the music, the trip the twosome-Snoopy and Woodstock, take, the 'No Dogs Allowed' running themes, the over all melancholy feeling that pervades the film.

I think its the best of the Peanuts flix, and recommend it highly today too.
