Good news: Charlie Brown finally fights back! Well, the Great Pumpkin calls for the head of Charlie Brown, and the Peanuts gang are out to kill him in numerous ways. Except this time, the blockhead is ready to settle the score.
This is really just a parody made by some guys at CalArts about 20 years ago. It's a very funny cartoon, the animation and designs are very well done, and it shows how talented the then neophyte animators were. Of course, I wonder how Charles Schulz felt about this cartoon, or if he even saw it. It truly does deserve some kind of public release.

If you're the type who finds Hilary Duff attractive (like me), this movie is for you. But if you're the type who has become alienated at the the degrading nature of today's teen movies, this movie is not for you.
The story does everything in its power to recreate the classic Cinderella story into the year 2004. But the problem is, this movie is littered with a lot of teen stereotypes that is currently plaguing television. Why is it that the popular kids go out of their way to make the less popular kids as miserable as possible? Why are high schools always depicted with a hierarchal student body? For once, can't we have a teen film that DOESN'T make American teens look like spastic Neanderthals?
As for Sam (Hilary's character), there was nothing really wrong with the character herself, except we're given a hint of how things would be like if Lizzie McGuire had become a high school sitcom, as once proposed. But the part about her going to college lacked density. Upon entering Princeton, what major(s) was she going to fulfill? The story itself had some credentials. The message should speak to a lot of people going thru the perils of high school today. If the writers and director tried harder to make the characters' roles coincide with the theme, they would've been much more believable.
A Cinderella Story is far from a classic. The film contains a lot of the material that SHOULDN'T be in any teen film. And it feels like the film only appeals to the Hilary Duff crowd (since I got around to seeing it, they must've did SOMETHING right with that scheme). But the truth is, Hilary Duff is likely to spend the rest of her acting career catering to the t(w)een crowd. But if that's what the fans want, who am I to stop them?
