A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

Spend Thanksgiving with good ol' Charlie Brown!

G 1973 · 25 min · ★ 7.3 · Animation, Comedy, Family, TV Movie

Turkey, cranberries, pumpkin pie... and the Peanuts gang to share them with. This is going to be the greatest Thanksgiving ever! The fun begins when Peppermint Patty invites herself and her pals to Charlie Brown's house for a REALLY big turkey party. Good grief! All our hero can cook is cold cereal and maybe toast. Is Charlie Brown doomed? Not when Linus, Snoopy and Woodstock chip in to save the (Thanksgiving) Day. With such good friends, Charlie Brown - and all of us - have so many reasons to be thankful.

Directed by Bill Melendez · Written by Charles M. Schulz
