The Lookback:Charlie Brown Lookback: What have we learned Charlie Brown

The Lookback  The Peanuts 
tar8
                                                                      ©1983 Peanuts
     Our Monthly feature of looking back at Charlie Brown , non-holiday related specials continues with  "What have we learned Charlie Brown?"
    The events in this special  take place right after the ending of the movie "Bon Voyage ,Charlie Brown"  (and don't come back , which is kind of mean)
           We might have to talk about the movie some day.  "What Have learned?"  premiered on May 30th 1983 on the network of CBS.  The specials events take place as  Charlie Brown and Gang are in France still and do a little sight seeing  as they were on their way back to the train station. The special starts  when Charlie Brown was looking at his photo album with Sally  she asks  Charlie "What did you learn Charlie Brown?" and it reminds him of what Linus asked him. He then tells the story.
                                                                   
     Their rental car  that Snoopy is driving (of course Snoopy is driving who do you expect , Marcie?)  breaks down a few times  where they meet a  older French lady  who finds out Snoopy was a World War I flying ace, and gives him a new car. (One the Snoopy doesn't mind electrocuting Charlie Brown) They get lost and decide to spend the night at a beach , where in the morning  Linus figures out that it's Omaha Beach.  Linus then tells the story of the battle of D-Day  (including the voice of Eisenhower)   Then as they continue their trip  they make it to Ypres where  Linus talks of events of World War I.  To the poppies that are used to mark the battles that happened there.  He then gives a rendition of  the poem "In Flanders Fields".
                                
   
   Linus ends with "What have we Learned ,Charlie Brown".
   The special  , as most of the Peanuts ones are, is good  it  has some funny parts  in it , but at the same time gives a  real good look at some parts of World Wars I and II with the great visuals  and use of  footage.  The music also fits very well with the moments that fits well with the somber subject that  it takes on.
    It's a great special  to watch and also to share with younger family members that  approaches something that Peanuts  can do so well compared to many other  cartoon characters . I might even use that phrase for when we write about another  Peanuts special that also fits well into that.
