Snoopy Presents: For Auld Lang Syne

Snoopy Presents: For Auld Lang Syne, or simply For Auld Lang Syne, is a 2021 Peanuts animated special fireworks 💥

It's very good! 😀 I'd recommend it 👍🏼

"NO MATTER HOW BAD THINGS MAY SEEM, I CAN ALWAYS RELY ON MY FRIENDS."

Perfect animation, great voices, and wonderful timeless characters! As usual, an underlying set of heart-warming messages sprinkled with cute little skits. This will never get old for me, even now after enjoying it for over 50 years! :-)

I hadn't watched anything related to Peanuts since the movie years ago (which I liked - it was very well done). I got curious about this special because Lucy is the focus, which was something new and different for a Peanuts special. And this special is different indeed, without discarding all the good things we remember from past Peanuts specials. Lucy grows as a character - showing a vulnerability and depth I didn't expect, but was absolutely delighted with. As written and performed, it's a logical progression, and she's a stronger character for it. All of the other characters are handled just as well, and the laughs are there, but oh the feels! I really didn't expect that, and I think it's that feature that puts it at the top of the list of all the Peanuts specials. And the animation, which is in 2D, thank goodness, is incredible. The characters look exactly the way Charles Schulz drew them, and none of the sloppiness that often occurred in the old specials is evident. The movement is smooth and expressive, but not Flash-y - indeed, this looks like authentic 2D, even though we know that computer animation was also employed. The music is traditional Peanuts-style jazz, and, well, everything in this special is so satisfying to anyone with an affection for good ol' Charlie Brown and the gang. If this is the new level for Peanuts specials, then I eagerly await next one. I give this one a solid and very happy 10!

Not in the same league at all with the old Bill Menendez Charlie Brown and Peanuts Specials of yore, of my childood of growing up in the 70's. Most characters have strangely taken on new traits, and they just don't seem as fun as they used to be. Still watchable and the new animation sort of robs the old charm away from the old Charlie Brown specials, the gray and browns of those autumn skies. Too colorful. Worth watching though for the sake of nostalgia.

I sat down to watch the 2021 animated holiday special titled "Snoopy Presents: For Auld Lang Syne" with my 11 year old son today.

And this was sort of bland. I mean, for an animated movie for kids the message was a bit too heavy, and my son didn't seem to take much liking to it. I supposed it was just too serious in its storyline. And me, as an adult, well I found it to be watchable, albeit somewhat bland.

The animation was good, and it definitely reminded me of the "Snoopy" animations I used to watch on TV as a boy back in the day.

I suppose that the 2021 "Snoopy Presents: For Auld Lang Syne" is for the fans of the "Snoopy" and "Peanut" franchise, not really for casual viewers like myself or my son.

This is not something that I will be returning to watch a second time.

My rating of directoy Clay Kaytis' "Snoopy Presents: For Auld Lang Syne" lands on a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.
