Trivia
Had Snoopy, as the Easter Beagle, thrown just one less egg on the ground when he first arrived, he would've had an egg for Charlie Brown.

Goofs
All the furniture in Woodstock's new birdhouse disappears when Snoopy breaks the birdhouse after his nose gets stuck.

Quotes
Marcie: [frying the first batch of eggs] Uh, sir, how do we color the eggs after we've fried them?
Peppermint Patty: Agh, agh, agh... Aaaugh!

Fun yet Relaxing: A Good but Not Great Peanuts Special

'It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown!' is another holiday Peanuts special chronicling the tales of the Peanuts gang. In this special the usual holiday hysteria is demonstrated with topics of consumerism, goodwill, and friendship. Linus preaches of the Easter Beagle, Peppermint Patty hopes to teach Marcie about Easter traditions, and Snoopy tries helping Woodstock find a new home.

This special is not as great as the Christmas and Halloween specials, but the classic Peanuts humor and charm keeps you happy throughout. The music is great and the animation look old-school, but feels fresh.

Give it a watch for some Springtime fun!
