Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe origin of Snoopy depicted in this special contradicts the canonical version of how the beagle came to be, whereas Snoopy Come Home (1972) followed the comic-strip's mythos more closely. The main differences: In this special, Charlie Brown, at his current age, wanted a dog to greet him when coming home from school, thus going to buy Snoopy on his own. Originally, when Charlie Brown was 3 years old his parents bought Snoopy for him after a bad day at a playground when a big kid poured sand on him and made him cry. Here, Sally is her current age when Snoopy was bought. Originally, Snoopy was bought before she was born. Here, when Charlie Brown and Linus go to buy Snoopy at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm, Linus looks at the farm's records and finds that Snoopy was a used dog. Originally Linus found this out by calling the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm when Snoopy ran away to visit Lila in the hospital. Originally, Lila and her family were forced to return Snoopy because they moved into a new apartment where no dogs were allowed. Here, they lived in the same apartment which had a new rule in which no dogs were allowed.
- Quotes
[Charlie Brown has discovered an old "Puppy for Sale" sign and shows it to Snoopy and his siblings]
Charlie Brown: I can't believe it. That's all that's left. This is where your old home was. There's no more Daisy Hill Puppy Farm. It's gone. They built a five-story parking lot on it. You realized what's happened? They're prking on your memories.
Sally Brown: [solemnly] You know, big brother, what's-his-name is right: you can't go home again.

Featured review
The snoopy shorts are always a great and fun watch. They aren't always the best in terms of quality, but in terms of just fun and quick stories they always seem to land just a little bit no matter what.
We see the origin of how Charlie Brown got Snoopy. We find out Snoppy has a lot of siblings and Chalie Brown plans a reunion for them.
The score is amazing for this short. Judy Musen created this fun country sounding score for the Snoopy siblings that gains and loses instruments at one time. It´s definitely the highlight of the short.
The story is a bit too rushed, especially in the middle. All of a sudden, things just happens and every escalates just a bit too quickly. It´s a cute story though and it starts with a great little misdirection for the viewers.
There is some good hand drawn animation in this short. Backgrounds and especially the dog designs look good, and the dogs look distinct from another in small subtle ways. It´s fun to see all the different siblings and their different lives, but more time should have been used to show them more. Some of the animation is also clearly reused a lot or zoomed into, a common thing for the Snoopy shorts.
A cute and fun short with a great and memorable score. It´s nothing incredible, but just a good time as Snoopy shorts just normally are.
