A Charlie Brown Christmas

A Charlie Brown Christmas – Bill Meléndez, Charles M. Schulz

It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the materialism that surrounds the Christmas season… Join Charlie Brown on his struggle to discover the true meaning of Christmas.

Based upon the comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ first aired on December 9, 1965. It was made on a shoestring budget, which is evident in the choppy style animation and more so in the audio production. Meléndez is said to be embarrassed that it continues to be aired every year in it’s original condition but any efforts to remaster it were vetoed by Schulz. Regardless of technical issues, this remains a true favourite and is an astonishingly beautiful story.
