The Charlie Brown Lookback: He's a Bully, Charlie Brown

The Flashback   Peanuts 

                                                   

      It's November (mostly )   and that means another Charlie Brown special lookback , and installment number 10. (What a second , you did a bunch for a week in ...)  Our 10th installment for the monthly edition.  (Rude.)  This time we lookback at a relatively new Charlie Brown special ... "He's a Bully Charlie Brown"  It came out in 2006 on ABC (the home of Peanuts specials since the 2000's)  after the annual re showing of the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special.    Let's lookback (boo , I don't like that)

      The special involves  Charlie Brown going to summer camp ( like...nevermind)  , along with Marcie minus Peppermint Patty (because they aren't attached at the hip) because she has to do summer school. Re Run Van Pelt  finds  some marbles that were his grandfathers. (This is important to the plot trust us) Meanwhile at the  camp there's  a stock bully named  Joe Agate  , he starts with making fun of Snoopy who is holding a bowling ball  he asks what's Snoppy going to do with the ball and well ask a stupid question. (Snoopy murders Joe.... not really , that would be a shorter special)

                                               

                  Our bully here is a bully because he must not get enough sleep/ Copyright Peanuts

  One thing Joe does is marbles (see plot) and cheats by bringing out a large marble...(cheater)  Rerun sees the kids playing marbles  and decides to be a marbles champ. Rerun decides to let  Joe teach him how to marbles with his grandpa's marbles. (no, not the figurative ones)  We will get back to that later,  now the other plot is about Marcie making Peppermint Patty think that she and ole'  C.B are getting all cozy with each other. (we are a clean blog)  Peppermint Patty (logically) decides to  figure out away to get to summer camp     Joe starts "teaching" (air quotes say so much in so little) Rerun  of course , this is dirty trick and he takes all of  Reruns marbles saying they were playing the whole time.
                                                   

                                                Saddest picture of Rerun ever/ Copyright Peanuts

   Rerun tells Charlie Brown what happened , and Charlie is disgusted. (so am I)  This makes Charlie Brown want to win Reruns marbles back. Peppermint  Patty is at camp (how'd she get there?  ....nobody knows)  to  prevent the budding Marcie and CB (or  as well it  Charcie ) also a kid has been annoying  Marcie , though   Marcie can handle herself apparently. (Marcie has kind violent streak to her) Snoopy's been teaching our hero the way of marbles.   The big showdown between Charlie Brown and Joe begins to start and it looks bad for Chuck then it looks good. (Yeah it's writte that way, also where's Linus?)

                                             

                                             He's right here Phineas, /Copyright Peanuts

      Then Charlie Brown looses because he ran out of marbles  until Snoopy gives him some spears.(Snoopy saves the day)  but fate has other plans as Joe misses and Charlie Brown wins the game. Charlie Brown then offers to play for all the marbles , using the shooter he won from Joe. (ooh CB is dirty) Charlie Brown wins.   But in true class, CB offers to give back the marbles that aren't Rerun's to Joe but Joe walks away.
   When everybody gets back ... Lucy doesn't believe that our hero is a winner  (jealous) .

Also Lucy is a jerk ..../copyright Peanuts 

  Nice to see CB get win once, this special was based off a string of comics from April 1995 (you can read that starting from here)   It was the last new special ( I wanna say.. so far for ABC to air) in it's first broadcast it and Thanksgiving Charlie Brown beat Madonna .  It hasn't aired on ABC in a while it was replaced in Thanksgiving rotation for  the Mayflower episode of  This is America Charlie Brown.  
  Thanks for reading ...next we talk about  when Lucy loses her marbles ... the figurative ones.

The Lookback: Halloween is Grinch Night

The Flashback 

                                                       

                                             Well he could at least smile/ copyright Universal

   Raise your hands , quick!  When you hear the word Grinch what do you think?  Christmas right? (NO , I was thinking Easter) Put those hands down.(No) Our special has the Grinch and Halloween.     This special is apparently, a prequel of "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" good because the Grinch became a ... (spoilers... rude).   It came out on October 29th, 1977 on  ABC (take that CBS) and won an Emmy.  It starts with Whoville (their baacck) when a wind is coming  and causes everyone to run inside their homes.  (wind is scary)  The narrator  explains that  the wind is a  sour sweet wind   that causes Gree Grumps to awake  and growl (  I do the same thing when I am awoken) then they wake up the Hakken  Krakks  and this causes the Grinch to get annoyed.
                                           

                                                        Who are you? /copyright universal

    So the Grinch  decides that it's  a wonderful night for Grinch night (when you are him you can make up any holiday you want)  and he Max (the dog you saw in the Christmas one) make their way to Whoville.   While the Grinch is stuck getting bristles out of hisself  after chasing a Wuzzy Woozoo (welp , we have lost our minds here please send help and money , just send money)  Euchariah (best name ever) , a Who has to leave the house to use the outhouse (though odd that Whos don't have  indoor plumbing but do have video phones) and the wind takes him up to the mountain.
           
                                               

Even the Grinch is bored/ Copyright Universal 

                         
Euchariah and the Grinch meet  and we find out Euchariah has astigmatism  (he explains it great detail it's E/I worthy) and he decides to figure away to stall the Grinch from reaching town.   The Grinch   decides to scare the who (you should know his awesome name by now) This is pretty much a good chunk of  the special. Euchariah ,though is unperturbed and holds strong and after this time delay  the wind dies down and stops the  Hakken Kraaks  and Gree Grumps stop being annoyed and this stops the Grinch. (rules? I guess)  And the day is saved thanks to the Powerpuff Girls ... wait wrong thing sorry... Euchariah saves the day and the special is over.

  That's our lookback tune in next time  when we see another Dr.Suess  special about how the Grinch  tires to have Grinch night on  Thanksgiving.

The Lookback : The Halloween Tree

The Flashback 
   

   When  I think of Halloween I don't think of trees , except for that they still have colored leaves on them taunting you. This is our lookback at a TV movie called "The Halloween Tree".
     In 1993 it was an animated movie produced by  Hanna-Barbera (their name comes up often in these lookbacks)  for TBS/Cartoon Network (all owned by ole' Ted Turner)  it is based on a book of the same name , written by  Ray Bradbury (hey, you calm down, we hear your screams from here). He also wrote the script for this movie which got him an Emmy for Outstanding writing in a children's program in 1994.

       The Movie starts with  narration from Ray Bradbury himself as a town prepares for Halloween night. We see our main characters  (in the book it was  8 boys , the movie changes it to 2 boys and 1 girl) who are wearing costumes.
                       
                     This is the intro.... that's all we have to say/ copyright H/B

     They all end up meeting up with their friend Pip who is called the Greatest Boy  whoever lived (don't tell the other boys) but he is going to the hospital because he has to have appendix removed. (not his glossary) Being good friends, they decide to follow him to the Hospital and take a short cut through the woods. (Which is something people do on Halloween) Then they think they see Pip running through the woods  where they think it was some sort of trick he is playing.  They race after "Pip" thinking it's him.   They end up going to an old mansion.

   A man answers the door his name is  Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud (really now? He's voiced by Lenord Nimoy , hey you calm down)   and he is disappointed  that none of the children  know the meaning of their costumes/ (Skeleton means the stuff under you skin and muscles and stuff)  The kids see Pip who is apparently a ghost now. (he died?, dark!) They try to chase after him but he disappears and they see a big tree with pumpkins growing on it. Mr.M (we aren't typing his full name twice)  tells them that is the Halloween Tree (roll credits).  Ghost Pip goes up the tree and there's a pumpkin that looks kind of like Pip. He grabs the pumpkin and leaps off the tree.

 So Pip has escaped and his friends want to find him and  they beg Mr. M   to help him so they can help Pip.  At first, He doesn't want to because he's annoyed that they don't know what their costumes mean or come from.  Then, he changes his mind and finally decides  to let them help and also see if they can learn about the meaning of Halloween at the same time.
                                                   

Are there snacks on this trip? / Copyright H/B

      The rest of the movie is the kids  and Mr.M going on a this trip to different countries. First, Mr.M  uses magic to  make a kite which, will be their transportation. (safe?)  They see Pip going 4,000 Halloweens ago. ( so this is a time traveling trip as well.)  They've gone back to ancient Egypt.   Where they see an Egyptian family having dinner with their grandfather , who's been dead for 67 years. (Grandpa's kind of late for dinner) They run after Pip and find a tomb then Ralph, the boy dressed as mummy, gets grabbed a mummy.  The mummy tells Ralph the reason where mummification came from.  Pip (or Pipkin) is being spirited away and Ralph has to save him. Ralph saves him by acting like a mummy.   But, Pip gets away again.
