It's A Charlie Brown Lookback: It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown
The Peanuts The Lookback
This special has got to be the most 80's Peanuts special ever, I mean this ,as most Peanuts specials and comics did stay timeless to a fault and not really showing off a time period. Though the characters did update to times in subtle ways : like with Lucy and Sally wearing pants in later strips. This special goes off the timelessness of Peanuts specials and goes straight for the time it was made, that is "It's Flashbeagle ,Charlie Brown".
The special doesn't have a plot ,per say, so we won't be doing our normal piece by piece look at the episode. (loudly cheers) We will take a look at things by segment.
The First segment is a few minutes of Peppermint Patty and Marcie in class and of course the things that Peppermint Patty does in class. Peppermint Patty going to gym class this gives us our first song called "Get in shape".
Apparently this song inspired by Charles Schulz' daughter Jill , who was 12 at the time the sequence and the images are based on her as well. Also somebody who wrote this song liked "Hey Nikki". (Just be glad this wasn't made in 1997 some one would have been inspired by the Macerana)
In segment 2 (guess we will call it that ) Snoopy hair dries his ears , while Charlie Brown and Sally are talking about a party. The Party starts and the kids are playing Simon says (Simon says we are going to take over the world tonight , Pinky) and in true Lucy style takes over the game and next song starts. It's called "Lucy Says"
This song is inspired by Lucy being the boss. ( Lucy later started a cult where everyone has to dress like her and have wigs like her hair) After, the song , the party continues and a Sally wanting Linus to dance with her but Linus refuses scene. Also Snoopy and Woodstock make punch and Charlie Brown sees how they do it and it grosses him out (Woodstock drinks from the straws and swims in the punch to mix it) and Lucy drinks it not knowing this secret.
The next song is started by Charlie Brown called the Pig Pen Hoedown (finally the most 80's thing ever , country music!).
We are danced out ! More after the jump.

The Lookback : Jack O Lantern (from Rankin Bass)
Halloween The Flashback
One thing Halloween is known for is Jack O Lanterns , so of course we need a special about them, and the kings of Christmas, Rankin Bass, were the ones to do so. From their series of specials called "Festival of Family Classics" , which featured many fairy tails and children's stories as animated specials did a special called "Jack O Lateran" and that is our Lookback.
Two kids visit their grandpa and ask him to tell a story about Jack O' Lateran ,(well good job special right to the point) , so Grandpa tells the story of when he was a kid. (In my day , we had to ...)
His family was very poor trying to farm the land , that grandpa still lives on. Michael (Grandfather's name) and Coleen , his sister want to help make the farm work.. Michael gets the idea to take a pumpkin and make a head for a scare crow. (Also the animals talk , not the humans but you get the point) The pumpkin starts talking (with an Irish accent, for some reason) because it's not a pumpkin it's a leprechaun named Jack O' Lantern. (what am I watching?)
Jack tells the kids them that a witch, ghost, goblins, and a warlock are messing up their crops , not the crows, because they want the land. Jack says he will help them with their problem. Around (a very well lit ) midnight the kids and Jack wait for the arrival of the mass of spooks. Jack counters the witch's attacks. The Witch sets the brush on fire and Jack counters that with a rain storm.(Water 1 Fire 0) She later tries some frost and Jack uses the midnight sun from the north pole (what?) to get rid of the frost. The Witch figures it out that it's Jack O'Lantern. (Either that or Santa)
The Witch decides to target the kids to get Jack out of her way , as Jack hides the kids when starts her plan. The Witch's reluctant husband takes the kids while Jack is distracted. She reveals that she has Michael and Colleen captured, her goal is his pot of cold or the kids, so he accepts this and gets out of the pumpkin. Billy the goat (don't ask) rams the warlock into the barn wall and the cow gets them out of the ropes. Jack gets back into his pumpkin and fights off the ghosts and the witch and warlock.
Jack makes a deal with the kids , in return for a nice warm home he will give them a nice well flourished land. Michael says ever since then Jack has stayed with the family at farm. The two grand kids don't believe it , then Jack talks.
That's the special, now our review: It was a wonderful special with some of the nice Rankin Bass specials animation. It does remind me of their "Twas the Night before Christmas" special in animation. The story was interesting and simple but that doesn't hurt it,
That's the lookback , tune in next time when we search our pumpkins for Leprechauns , and their pot of gold. we aren't going to take it mind you.

The Witch sets the brush on fire and Jack counters that with a rain storm.(Water 1 Fire 0) She later tries some frost and Jack uses the midnight sun from the north pole (what?) to get rid of the frost. The Witch figures it out that it's Jack O'Lantern. (Either that or Santa)

The Witch decides to target the kids to get Jack out of her way , as Jack hides the kids when starts her plan. The Witch's reluctant husband takes the kids while Jack is distracted. She reveals that she has Michael and Colleen captured, her goal is his pot of cold or the kids, so he accepts this and gets out of the pumpkin. Billy the goat (don't ask) rams the warlock into the barn wall and the cow gets them out of the ropes. Jack gets back into his pumpkin and fights off the ghosts and the witch and warlock.

Jack makes a deal with the kids , in return for a nice warm home he will give them a nice well flourished land. Michael says ever since then Jack has stayed with the family at farm. The two grand kids don't believe it , then Jack talks.

That's the special, now our review: It was a wonderful special with some of the nice Rankin Bass specials animation. It does remind me of their "Twas the Night before Christmas" special in animation. The story was interesting and simple but that doesn't hurt it,
That's the lookback , tune in next time when we search our pumpkins for Leprechauns , and their pot of gold. we aren't going to take it mind you.

Let's look at Frankenweenie (2012)
Halloween
Last year, I looked at the original 30 minute movie "Frankenweenie" that came out in the 1980's. You can read that post here .
In 2012, Tim Burton got a chance again (well it was made before 2012 ) and got a chance to be a feature length film. This remake is by the same guy so it's more like the first movie was his first draft and this was his another crack at it.
First off visually , the film does the same thing the first did be presented in black and white , which is a nice touch, and really gives the movie an atmosphere that honestly would feel wrong in color. (Like the Munsters) Unlike the first, this movie is stop motion presented instead of real humans. The movie's music is great background and doesn't over power it.
Second, this remake being a feature length movie means that it can flesh out it's story lines . In the original they had to have everything done in a little over 30 minutes, (or it's free!) and that's not bad it made the story a simple one, not have to veer off it's main plot focus. The first 20 minutes of the movie we get the characters backgrounds a little more fleshed out , and relationship of Victor and his dog .Sparky. Of course, the main event where Sparky is hit by a car happens at the end of the first 15 minutes. This leads to the whole reason for the naming of this movie , where Victor Frankenstein brings his dog back to life.
Third, the original movie being 30 minutes , as I stated, really had the one single form plot agenda , The A,B,C A: Sparky is killed B, Sparky brought back to life and the events that happen surrounding C. the Climax and end. In the remake movie there was a chance to add more characters and more subplots. There's a science fair plot and the results of people finding out that Victor can bring dead animals back to life is little different than the original. Spoilers here: The added plotline is with the science fair some other kids ,who want to win, find out from Edgar , a classmate of Victor's , tells them that Victor brought his dog back to life , they want to figure out how, and this causes the big problem int his movie where other kids reanimate animals and cause monsters.
Victor , like in the first movie, is interested in film making and science, it's more expressed that he has a joy of science in this movie. For a movie like this , it's also nice to see where the kid is not having a bully problem or people being jerks to him because reasons , it was also keeping with the original's style, where they didn't have enough time for him to have any of that.
Victor's parents in this movie are very supportive of their son and foster his love of science. His father does seem to want him to do other things , but also doesn't try to force him to give up science. When they find out about Sparky, like in the first movie , they are shocked and a little apprehensive but accept Sparky. In this movie when they find out about Sparky , he runs away , they go out and help find him.
They did keep Elsa Van Helsing name from the first movie in this one, but she was more fleshed out as a character here , where again in the original , due to time , was more just background , when needed. She lives with her uncle, like the first movie , who is neighbor of the Frankensteins . She is nice and cares about Victor, and her uncle makes her miserable. She also has a poodle, that Sparky has dog crush on.
Edgar , is supposed to remind us of the classic character Igor , spoiler: his main point for the story was to pretty much accidentally reveal that Victor re animated Sparky , so the other kids could re animate some animals that become monsters.
Mr. Rzykruski , is the science teacher the Victor is inspired by and he is very eccentric , but genuinely loves science and wants his students to be creative. Though this gets him fired because two kids were inspired they were doing something on the roof of their house and apparently that means teacher should be fired. (editorialized last part)

A very memorable character without a name , she is a spooky girl that who thinks that her cat , Mr.Whiskers can give predictions.
I am not going through all the characters , most of them where there to drive the plot along, though I did point out Edgar.
Spoiler: The climax of the movie veers from the first , where Victor when looking for Sparky is now trying to stop these monsters that the other kids created by reanimating creatures. The other part, the town's people chasing Sparky , like in the first movie. The reason why is a little different and the same, It's the same because they think Sparky is a monster ,though with seeing the other creatures they might in the right , at least in theory. In the original, the townspeople were chasing the dog because they thought he was a monster and misjudging the fact the dog was still the same just undead,where they learn their lesson when they help bring Sparky back to life again. Both movies have this windmill scene where Victor ends up in one, and it's accidentally set on fire by the mob. In this movie, Elsa is in the windmill , but Victor saves her. Sparky goes to save Victor while he's fighting this monster and is knocked unconscious , Sparky saves his life. Sparky is dragged inside by the cat bat ,that was formerly the weird girl's cat. After the windmill breaks down ,once again Sparky is dead. We do get the get the jump-start scene again where the town works together to bring back Sparky.
I think this is a good movie, nice and spooky and it was a nice to expand upon the 30 minute original while keeping the story the same. The animation is wonderful and love that went with black and white like the original. They didn't do any unnecessary padding/filler and everything paced well.
